Fast-track promotion for Sophie
Our first new recruit of 2022 has been promoted to Senior Consultant after just six months in the role, following exceptional feedback from clients, candidates and colleagues.
We appointed Sophie Kidd to our permanent recruitment team in January 2022 and she hit the ground running, quickly proving herself to be a real asset.
Our Managing Director, Kate Allen, said: “We are delighted to have promoted Sophie to the role of Senior Consultant following an exceptional six months with Allen Associates. We have known Sophie for many years and were aware of her standing in the recruitment market in Oxfordshire, so were thrilled when she agreed to join our team.
“Sophie has brought with her not only a wealth of knowledge and experience but also a shared vision for how recruitment should be done. Her track record of making successful placements has been phenomenal and the feedback we’ve had from clients and candidates a joy to read.”
One such feedback was from Sam Gorham who was supported by Sophie in his recent job search. He said: “I had a really good experience with Allen Associates. Sophie was amazing, always available if I had any questions. Her interview process to get to understand me so that she could best match me to a suitable role was really detailed. She took interest in understanding me personally to link me to job roles that suited my attributes and interests best. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone unsure on what job they are specifically looking for.”
Commenting on her time at Allen Associates, Sophie said: “Since joining Allen Associates, the support I’ve received from both the team and senior management has been incredible. They have encouraged me to forge ahead and build excellent relationships from the get-go. I particularly like the family feel that Kate, Rob and Elle have created and I enjoy getting together with everyone (including Poppy the dog) in the office each week.
“I feel incredibly lucky that Allen Associates has recognised my skills through this promotion. It’s felt like a true partnership, with their streamlined processes and long-standing relationships creating an ideal environment for me to run recruitment campaigns and make successful placements.
“Our service, not sales, approach is one of many reasons why Allen Associates stands out for me, and although we work extremely hard, it’s enjoyable and extremely rewarding.”
Outside of work, Sophie is a self-confessed foodie who also enjoys learning new hobbies, including touch rugby and clay pigeon shooting. You can find out more about Sophie and get in touch with her, here.
