Vicki Poultney
I provide an internal support service to our very lovely and talented bunch of Creative & Marketing consultants, providing them with administrative support. Nothing makes me happier than knowing I am enabling them to focus on the activity they are brilliant at – partnering with clients to find exceptional talent, which in turn enables the success of their businesses, and ensures candidates are serviced at the highest level.
I have spent my career in IT service delivery, listening to what people need in the workplace to be productive, then leading IT teams to deliver technology that met those needs. At my heart, my passion was for delivering service myself and enabling others and so I joined BTB to do just that!
When not working I can be found mainly eating, sleeping, or trying to find something I have lost!
“I’ve known Emma since 2013 while working at Tesco where I hired through her around 20 design and artwork people over a 2-year period. She has been by far the most professional, supportive and astute agent I have worked with to date. She knows her stuff, is diligent when recommending the right person for a role, and even when it comes to finding you work, actually puts in the time to talk to you, understand you and consults by giving the necessary criticism to align with the expectations from end-recruiters, which is invaluable in such a competitive market.”

Creative Director
“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.”

“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.”

“BTB are the best recruitment consultancy I have ever encountered as a candidate in the Marketing industry. The two words I would use to describe them are 'thorough' and 'authentic'. They take loads of time to understand the individual's skill set and personality, subsequently matching them to the most suitable openings, always providing communication and sound advice throughout the journey. I am really grateful for having encountered these guys and would unquestionably recommend them above anyone else if you are on the lookout in the Midlands region.”

“I was lucky enough to connect with Michelle during my redundancy and from start to finish she was fantastic. She listened to my very particular wish list and found me a fantastic job that was not only a great industry fit, but also a great cultural fit. She was professional, friendly and incredibly supportive throughout the interview process, I’d highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a job.”
