Sam Ray

With 11 years’ professional experience (7 years in creative and production agencies and 4 years' in recruitment), I support the interim and permanent consulting teams in proactively engaging candidates that are in demand, so we can deliver strong candidates, as quickly as possible for our clients. I also manage the various platforms and tech needed to ensure we can exhaust the market seamlessly.

I started off my career as an Account Manager in London, working for an array of brilliant full-service agencies before laying down roots in the Midlands. From my time spent in the world of digital, print and creative agencies, I gained a deep understanding of the principles, processes, roles, and responsibilities required to succeed in the creative, events and marketing field.

What I love most about being a consultant at Beyond The Book is the personal touch and principle led values we encompass. I thoroughly enjoy the process of listening, learning and really understanding the crux of a client brief or candidate's journey to their next opportunity. I’m keen on building and retaining relationships so I can be a trusted face for helping clients and candidates alike find their perfect match.

“Both as a client and a candidate I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beyond The Book to others.”

“I could not be more delighted with Anna’s thorough and tenacious attitude in finding the best candidates for our vacancy. She is an excellent communicator and immediately understood what I was looking for. I can’t recommend Beyond the Book enough for any business looking to recruit in the Marketing industry.”

“Tracey recently helped me secure a new job within the industry. She was committed to understanding the skills and experience I had, and her friendly, knowledgeable, supportive guidance played a pivotal role in my success. A lovely team that I would highly recommend.”

“Michelle has been an absolute delight to work with throughout the entire process. She’s personable and calm which made communication easy and natural. Michelle goes above and beyond in her role! I’m so thankful to have had this experience and I would highly recommend reaching out to Michelle at Beyond The Book if you’re looking to progress in your career.”

“As a recruitment consultant, Emma never fails you. Always keeping you informed, always looking out for you, she will help you as much as she possibly can, even working well into the evening if it means someone gets an important gig. Very aware of her client’s needs and which person is best for that client to hire. When Emma joined Beyond the Book it was without doubt a perfect fit for both sides. As a freelancer I have gained great personal and professional confidence from the belief shown to me by Emma which has helped me so much in other areas of my life. I personally cannot recommend Emma highly enough. If any company owner wants to be sure of a positive, rewarding and successful appointment then give Emma a call or email. For a freelancer you can be certain she will do her ultimate best to find you a placement.”
