About Yvette

A technical recruitment consultant with a difference.

As a technical recruitment consultant, I love helping companies successfully recruit highly skilled ‘technical’ people.

I am not merely matching buzzwords, but invest time to learn how your business works and the specifics of each role. I gain enormous satisfaction knowing I have helped make a difference to your business!

More than two decades in this field has shown me that a successful outcome for companies and candidates arises from connecting the dots between the hiring company needs, what the candidate has to offer, and their requirements.

This will include:

  • Professional skills and education
  • Experience
  • Personal attributes, attitudes and behaviours
  • Practical requirements: remuneration and location
  • Motivation

Get all of those five elements right and we have found the right person for the right job.

What is everyone else saying?

Here are some comments from happy customers and candidates.

It is an absolute pleasure to talk about Yvette H. and her recruitment services. I have the opportunity to meet Yvette approximately two years ago in a recruitment process. It was a remarkable moment in my personal life and career when I was looking for a change. She gave me such good advice and recommendations to be more assertive in my search and helped me to find the ideal job. She`s highly dedicated, insightful, analytical, technical, and empathetic. She goes beyond the classical `Recruiter` role, being completely honest and transparent through the process. I highly recommend Yvette to my friends looking for a better opportunity in their careers.

Yvette has been very helpful in every step of the way - from preliminary screening to offering the job. She provides insight as to the nature of the job and working environment, interviewers' background, tips for interview, and more. Friendly yet professional. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Yvette for the past three years and of all the agencies I have dealt with she was the only one that followed up and kept in touch. Yvette was also successful in placing me in a great role.

Great lady and great at her job.

Yvette demonstrated exceptional dedication, insightfulness, analytical skill, technical proficiency, and empathy in my recruitment process. She definitely exceeds the traditional expectations of a 'Recruiter,' consistently maintaining honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. I'm extremely thankful that our paths crossed. I highly recommend Yvette Harrison as a recruiter for her excellent guidance and expertise.
