"Dave at Aardvark Swift was fantastic, friendly, and personable, but with the perfect professional balance of keeping me in the loop without feeling like I was being constantly chased. The opportunity he brought to my attention was brilliant, but at no point did I feel like he was needlessly injecting himself between myself and the prospective employer. Between their professional conduct and the kinds of jobs they specialise in, Dave and his colleagues are the reason I stay on the Aardvark mailing list, even when I'm not actively looking for a new role."

"I got my first interview fairly quickly after my first chat with Dave. He was always quick and proactive to check on any updates and issues during the interview process. But most importantly for me, every chat with him was motivating and encouraging which was a great help. In the end, this interview process landed me exactly the job I was hoping for!"

How did you get into games as a hobby?
My first experience of playing computer games was getting a Commodore 64 for Christmas one year when I was young. It came with a Terminator 2 cartridge, which was awesome! My favourite early memory is buying a Master System with my birthday money and completing Sonic the Hedgehog with my dad. We took each level in turns and it was just a wholesome and honest time in my life.
What’s your career background?
I spent over 11 years within education recruitment which gave me all of the transferrable skills to hit the ground running now I’m at Aardvark. I started as an Administrative Assistant and worked my way up the corporate ladder to manage a branch of a nationally recognised agency, before changing tack and moving to a tech start-up within the same industry. In that time, I saw and experienced everything, warts and all. I learnt an incredible amount and I left with a lot of good memories, friends, and I’m very much ready for a new challenge
What’s an average day look like for you at Aardvark Swift?
Right now, I’m still at a very formative stage of my career with Aardvark. I’m currently learning the basics, so my day is very much candidate focused. If I’m not ringing the database to introduce myself, I am on LinkedIn trying to find prospective candidates.
What do you love most about your job?
The team at Aardvark have been incredibly welcoming! The industry itself is so vibrant and active that it has been a really refreshing experience, actually.
Favourite memory so far?
My first placement, definitely! The stars kind of aligned for this one. A chance phone call from the database, minutes after the client had changed the brief of what they were looking for. Interview arranged that day, placement made within the week. Very happy about that.
