Jo Richardson is Winhurst Recruitment.
an independent RECRUITER, FREELANCE talent acquisition and an ICF ACC coach
With over 15 years experience in Recruitment & Coaching and a decade of working in food and drink manufacturing, I instinctively know what a good candidate looks like, what a job in a tough climate involves
and how the two combine for a successful partnership.
My portfolio of clients spans across the UK, America and New Zealand, and I firmly believe that people are at the heart of every business. Therefore, I prioritise individuals throughout the recruitment process,
ensuring that their needs and goals are considered in every step.
My work is guided by three core values: Expertise, Integrity, and Humanness.
While "humanness" may not be an official word, it represents an important sentiment to me. It emphasises the importance of treating people with empathy, respect, and understanding, especially in an increasingly digital age.
As we continue to rely on digital tools and processes, I am committed to keeping the human element central to everything I do. I believe that this approach is critical to building strong, successful partnerships between clients and candidates.

RECRUITMENT
When you are recruiting for your business,
you HAVE to get the right person as well as the right skill-set. Making the wrong decision in recruitment can damage the team as well as the business and can take time as well as money to put right. When I recruit for your business, I care about your business as much as you do, having total confidence in every CV that I submit.
finding a new job
"You changed my life, you made my Christmas and you gave me & my family everything we ever wanted". That's what a candidate said to me, 3 years after I got him the dream job. Don't you want that to be you? (and you don't have to always wait until Christmas!) Taking the next step in finding a new job can be difficult and exciting in equal measures but I will be right by your side to get you where you need to be.
““Our experience of working with Jo has been nothing short of exceptional.
Extremely quick to understand the scope of the role, the context of the culture and industry and the specific capabilities and values we were looking for. It was a leap of faith for us to have an external party conduct first stage interviews on our behalf but I had complete confidence in Jo’s approach, professionalism and natural ability to build rapport. Jo took excellent notes on each candidate and shared an overall view of the pool, and recommendations for areas to explore further in subsequent interview stages. In the following round of interviews I thanked every person for having taken the time to speak to Jo; every one of them commented that they’d enjoyed chatting with her. At a time when candidate experience is so important, I can highly recommend Jo as part of an extended recruitment team!””
“Jo has been working with our internal recruitment team and she has been a tremendous support. What sets Jo apart is her warmth and willingness to go the extra mile, she took the time to understand our values and culture and this has been instrumental in ensuring that we found the right individuals for our team. She also ensured an exceptional candidate experience, which is so importance to us.”
