Michelle Mumford, Marketing, Digital, PR & Comms Managing Recruitment Consultant

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!

“I have worked with Kaisa to provide freelance and contract resource at Beyond the Book on numerous occasions over the last 5 years. I find Kaisa friendly and always very quick to respond when I make contact. When discussing requirements Kaisa is thorough so she can match us with the right person. We have worked with some great freelancer/contractors during this time and have gone on to use most more than once.”

“I've been working with Michelle on various roles and always found her very easy to work with, professional, approachable and friendly. Michelle has put forward some excellent candidates for our consideration and supported our needs as a small charity, even when they have been challenging at times. I would definitely recommend Beyond the Book to others, on the basis of my relationship with Michelle, an excellent recruitment consultant.”

“It was a pleasure working with Beyond The Book. It was clear they understood what we were looking for and provided us with some intriguing and interesting candidates which gave us a real headache to pick between. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend BTB and look forward to working with them again on our next hire.”

“We love working with BTB, they are always really helpful and have placed many brilliant people with us over the years. Definitely one of the best industry recruiters in the UK.”

“BTB are the best! No matter the size of the brief, BTB manages to find the best talent at the drop of a hat. They go over and above to keep me updated on new talent coming through, as well as interrogating each brief to make sure the perfect person is placed.”
