This week I’m joined by Gabbi Trotter from Searchability.
She started working in recruitment at 19, working her way up the ranks as a Resourcer, before becoming a full Consultant and now - managing her own team!
It was great to sit down with her and delve deep into her career so far, talking about what has made her successful as a consultant, and now as a leader.
