I help recruitment businesses simplify operations, manage change, and build stronger foundations for growth.
Supporting smaller independent agencies through to global workforce organisations.
Recruitment businesses rarely struggle due of a lack of effort. More often, growth becomes difficult because of outdated processes, disconnected systems, and operational inefficiencies which slow everything down.
Argylestone Consulting helps recruitment and staffing businesses simplify operations, improve performance, and manage change with confidence.
With more than 20 years of industry experience, including serving as COO for the UK division of a global staffing firm, I work with recruitment leaders to solve operational challenges in practical, commercially focused ways.
Areas of support include:
• Improving operational efficiency and reducing wasted effort
• Optimising ATS and CRM usage to improve adoption and ROI
• Reducing dependency on expensive job board spend
• Building scalable delivery and shared service models
• Supporting MSP and RPO operational transformation
• Using data and reporting to improve planning and decision-making
Every business is different, which is why the approach is never one-size-fits-all. Some organisations need hands-on operational support, while others need strategic guidance through periods of growth or change.
The focus is always the same: creating practical solutions that deliver measurable improvements and sustainable growth.
Whether you’re leading a growing recruitment agency or managing change within an established staffing organisation, Argylestone Consulting provides experienced, pragmatic support tailored to your business.


Recruitment is a fast-moving, commercially demanding industry.
Leading change successfully requires more than strategy alone, it requires operational experience, industry understanding, and the ability to make change work in practice.
Having worked across recruitment agencies, staffing firms, MSP, RPO, and in-house talent environments, I understand both the operational realities and commercial pressures recruitment businesses face every day.
Clients value a straightforward, collaborative approach built around clarity, practicality, and measurable outcomes, not unnecessary complexity or generic consultancy models.
Whether supporting a focused operational project or a broader transformation programme, the priority is always the same: delivering meaningful change that works for the business long after the project ends.
