Vicki Poultney, Business Ops & Recruitment Support

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!

“The interview coaching we received from Beyond The Book was fantastic. Their tailored approach helped our hiring managers refine their techniques, ensuring we assess candidates more effectively. We’ve since made stronger, more confident hires that will fot longer term.”

“We used Beyond The Book’s internal hiring consultancy to refine our recruitment strategy. Their sense checks helped us optimise our processes and stand out in a crowded job market. Their expertise has been a game-changer for our hiring success.”

“Beyond The Book provided invaluable redundancy outplacement support for our team. The 1:1 coaching sessions gave employees confidence in their next steps, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. A professional, compassionate service that truly made a difference.”

“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.”
