Katie McNab's Email Addresses & Phone Numbers

📖 Summary

I started my career as a HR generalist, but I quickly discovered how much fun it was to recruit great people, so in 2004 I cheekily rebranded myself as a recruiting specialist. I earned my recruitment stripes in a variety of different industries, including FMCG, Media, Telecoms and Professional services. After more than ten years as a recruiter, I still love it. These days I spend most of my time focused on employer branding, candidate assessment, sourcing best practice, internal mobility, talent analytics and recruitment technology.
