Alice Moore - Data & Technology Recruitment Consultant

Lovely to have you onboard, Alice! First of all tell us, what is your background and experience?

So my background is a little bit varied, I started off working in logistics specifically within pricing so lots of numbers, tenders, and Excel! That then lead me into data - I became a Pricing Analyst at a logistics company, then onto an Operations Analyst at a fashion company here in Manchester. I learnt a lot about data and analytics along the way as I didn’t study it, so learnt it whilst working (with a fair amount of help from YouTube!). I worked my way up from leaving college and I’m glad that I did it that way now looking back.

What attracted you to The Candidate before you started? Has it lived up to your expectations?

I always had a feeling that I wanted to give recruitment a go, but never did it before as I thought I was on a certain path even though I knew that it would suit me better as a person. When I came to The Candidate it cemented it for me. Straight away in the interview process I could tell that the culture was exactly what I was looking for, and it just seemed like a really nice place to work which it has completely lived up to! All of my colleagues are great and the culture is exactly what I have been striving to find in all of my previous roles.

What is your role at The Candidate and what type of things do you work on?

My role at The Candidate is a Recruitment Consultant specialising in data. I feed into my experience regularly as I work on finding people in the data industry their dream roles. I work on Tech too, but data is my speciality and where my heart is! We recruit for anything you can think of in data, from Analyst to Data Scientist to Data Architect - and everything in between!

What is the best thing about working at The Candidate?

Without sounding cringey, there is a long list! Everyone that works here is so supportive and always there to lend a hand and we all get on really well. There are also lots of perks that can’t be overlooked - since I have been here we have been for countless meals, drinks, and even a trip to Barcelona all expenses paid! We also get involved in lots of events which is always fun - one of my favourites is Technically Speaking, a really great afterwork analytics meetup in Manchester with drinks and food! I am also a Digital Her role model with Manchester Digital and have really enjoyed getting involved in that so far!

Who should speak to you?

I would say anyone - as everyone here knows I am a super chatty person! But being a little more specific, anyone in data or tech! Whether that is people looking for a new role within the field, hiring for your business, or even someone that wants to get into the industry and has no idea how to go about it, feel free to reach out! I am always here to answer any questions or assist in any way possible.
