Michelle Mumford

With 10 years recruitment and HR experience, I manage our Marketing team, which includes PR & Comms, Digital Marketing, Marketing & Brand, Product & Category, for agencies and in-house across the UK.

I have built up a depth of knowledge of the many industries my client serve and the specialisms that my agency clients offer. You could say I am sector and specialism agnostic!

Before I moved into agency life, I worked within HR in the leisure and hospitality industry, but naturally gravitated towards a role in recruitment because this is what I loved most. My career has always involved people and building strong relationships wherever I go.

I love content, I love social media and I have a passion for all things PR. I am a firm believer that relationships are key. Through my love of building relationships, I pride myself on working closely with my clients to truly understand their business and long-term goals, and with my candidates to know the type of working culture that will help them thrive. Recruitment is a marathon, not a sprint; it isn’t about ‘placing that job’ but about working together for the long term and working toward the same end goal in partnership.

If you are a company looking for the perfect person, or a candidate looking for a new role in the UK, get in touch, I would love to chat!

“Working with Anna and her team at Beyond the Book has been, and always will be, a fantastic experience. Anna and the guys ALWAYS go above and beyond what I ask them for - giving me insights, suggestions, and inspiration on projects - not just some of the best candidates I've worked with... which is no accident either, as they align our way of thinking with candidates who work in a similar style - PERFECT for the creative sector.”

“My experience has been excellent, helping me to find the perfect graduate role. I cannot recommend BTB enough. A big thank you!”

“When I decided to take the plunge into the world of freelancing BTB were there to give guidance and advice. Team BTB are ridiculously knowledgeable in their recruitment field and are always striving to ensure they find “the right” placement for you. Most importantly - they care about you the candidate. So, if you are reading this review, thinking “should I, shouldn’t I?” YES, YOU SHOULD! Get in touch with them.”

“As a recruitment consultant, Emma never fails you. Very aware of her client’s needs and which person is best for that client to hire. 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. If any company owner wants to be sure of a positive, rewarding and successful appointment then give Emma a call or email.”

“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.”
