Chris Jones - Director

With over 15 years’ recruitment experience, Chris is a passionate about providing an excellent service and building long-term relationships. He ensures that the team have the right tools and resources to perform to the highest standards and is hands on in recruiting for HR roles across our client base. He is a firm believer in rewarding/incentivising our Consultants and ensures that our employees’ hard work is recognised by taking the team out for quarterly outings. Chris has 3 children and is heavily involved in their sporting activities whilst playing as much sport himself as possible. When he’s not in the office you’ll find Chris on the golf course desperately trying to lower his handicap!

With over 20 years recruitment experience, Kate is the ‘go to’ person for our team. With her wealth of knowledge in both local markets and both temporary and permanent recruitment, she is always happy to provide advice and guidance. She is passionate about working here and loves the fact we are an open and honest agency, which is central to her beliefs.

Bobby Collins - Manager – Temporary Division

Bobby has been with us for 5 years now. He started with us with no recruitment experience as a resourcer and learned the ropes, with hard work and determination has worked his way up to a management position. He’s a big Chelsea Fan so loves a bit of football banter here in the office. He also love planning dates, holidays and trips for his family. And is kept very busy in any spare time he gets by his son Arlo and Bassett Hound Otis.

“I absolutely love my job and the genuine buzz I get from helping people get into a new job they’ll love too”

Ryan Coleman - Consultant – Permanent Roles

Ryan comes to us from a property background where service levels have been paramount to his success. Working as a consultant on our permanent roles, he’ll be able to put his strong customer centric ethic to good use. Outside of work, he’s a keen footballer and a long suffering QPR fan, so he’ll be adding his voice to the football banter in our team.

He’s a local to our head office in Hemel, so knows the area well, and enjoys evenings out with his wife visiting local pubs and restaurants. Being a bit of a foodie, he runs a great Instagram page showcasing an array of amazing eats from all over as well as his own home cooking!

Amy comes to us fresh from completing her Marketing degree. She’s a strong people person and enjoys working within a busy team so she is perfect for our growing business. She’s a big fan of festivals and has been a regular at Reading for the last few years. She also loves an exotic holiday and socialising with her friends at the pub where she can be found, sipping a Gin or two.

She takes pride in building strong relationships with both candidates and clients, ensuring she finds the best fit for everyone. She’s a passionate football fan (a season ticket holder at Watford FC) and enjoys socialising with friends, going to festivals and gigs. Since she’s also a Mum, her favourite thing to do is spend time with her little boy.

Michelle is an experienced marketing professional and has worked in several large corporate companies as well as small businesses, in a variety of industries. She’s busy looking after Think’s social sites, coming up with new campaigns and ideas and supporting the Think team on all Marketing activity.

Ben Jackson - Consultant – Permanent roles

Ben has recently joined the team and will be our Consultant for permanent roles in the Hemel Hempstead area. His friendly, approachable manner and excellent track record in delivering exceptional customer service means he is a perfect fit for our team. He’s a hardworking person who always goes the extra mile. Ben loves a sunny holiday, has a passion for animals (especially dogs – which works with our team of dog lovers!) and is also a Tottenham Hotspur FC supporter. So there’ll be some more football friendly banter in the office with another team to add to the mix.

Izzy Lane - Recruitment Consultant

Our newest team member Izzy, is known to be a real people person who loves being part of a team.

She also has a strong background in delivering excellent customer service so will be all set for working with our great clients and candidates. She adores dogs (perfect fit for us at Think!) but has never had one of her own, despite a life-long campaign! She also loves a good Aperol spritz - preferably in the sunshine! She comes from a family of tennis players and still regularly ventures out on court herself at her local club..

With 13 years of recruitment experience, including Senior ops management and executive search, Van likes a job well done in recruitment. She’s a firm believer in ‘Honesty is the best policy’ and demonstrates this with her straight talking, hard working character.
