Melanie Parkes, Senior Consultant
Having gained a 2:1 Law Degree at Leeds Metropolitan University in 1997, I decided to stay in Leeds and have been here ever since. I joined the world of recruitment in 2000 and have never looked back. Having first worked in the finance field, I have operated in the HR marketplace since 2003 across a variety of sectors and industries, and have recruited at all levels from Administrator to HR Director. I pride myself on building strong relationships with clients and candidates, having an honest and professional approach, and working with people time and time again.
On a personal level, I would love to claim I climb mountains and sky dive at every opportunity, but it wouldn't be the whole truth. I like the finer things in life, good food, good wine and fabulous holidays. I also love live music and go to as many events as I can, and have just booked Glastonbury for the fourth year running!
