our CANDIDATES: saaS recruitment
Connecting brilliant people
with brilliant opportunities.
I work with experienced people across leadership, finance, commercial, operations, product and technology, getting to know what you’re awesome at, what matters to you and the kind of role and company where you could really thrive.
You’re ready for what’s next in your career.
Now that is exciting!
Whether you’re ready for more responsibility, want to make a bigger impact or have simply outgrown where you are, you’re starting to think about what comes next.
But you’re not looking for any job, you’re looking for the right next move.
And I know that means more than matching your experience to a job description.
It means understanding what you want from your career, the kind of business you’ll be a great fit for and the people you’ll be working alongside.
Hi, I’m debbie
I’ve spent 30+ years in recruitment. But I’ve never forgotten there’s a person behind every CV.
I want to understand what you’re brilliant at, what motivates you and the kind of environment you thrive in.
Because while the skills on paper matter, I’m also thinking about how you work, what drives you and how that fits with the people, culture and ambitions of the business behind the role.
And I can do that because I know the businesses I recruit for, too.
I work closely with growing SaaS and tech businesses, supporting their founders and leadership teams to hire senior people who’ll make an impact across the whole business.
So when I talk to you about an opportunity, I can give you the bigger picture: why they’re hiring, what’s changing, who you’ll be working alongside and what they really need from the person coming in.

What to expect when working with me.
-
Before putting you forward for anything, I want to understand you — your experience, what you want more of, what matters to you and what would make a move worthwhile. So a chat is where it always starts.
-
I’ll tell you what I know about the role, the business, the people and the opportunity — including the context you won’t necessarily find in a job description.
-
I won’t try to sell you a role because I need to fill it. If I think something could be a brilliant fit, I’ll tell you why. And if I don’t, I’ll be honest about that too.
-
From interview prep to answering questions along the way, I’ll make sure you have the information you need to go into each stage feeling prepared.
-
My involvement doesn’t end when you accept. I’ll stay in touch as you start your new role and settle into the business.
CAndidate feedback
“Debbie was open, honest and supportive throughout the process and I was very lucky she reached out to me about the job role I have been successful in obtaining.
Debbie was amazing. She was supportive and kept open lines of communication. Debbie was trustworthy and you felt you could rely on her to put your best interests forward. She didn’t try and sell you a dream or push the job on to you which is a red flag with other recruiters.”
- Emily Allred, Product Owner

I’m always interested in getting to know brilliant, experienced people who are ready for something different.
You might already know the pace and breadth of working in an SME or scale-up. Or you might be coming from a larger corporate and looking for a role where you can have broader influence and be closer to the business.
You don’t have to be actively job hunting. Some of the people I work with are ready to move now; others are happily doing what they’re doing, but open to a conversation when the right opportunity comes along.
I recruit across the UK, with many clients in London and the South East. Some roles involve regular office time or travel, so I’ll always be clear about what’s expected from the outset.
FAQs
-
Yes. Before I put you forward for a role, we’ll have a structured interview discussion so I can understand your experience, motivations and what you’re looking for. I’ll also ask a consistent set of questions relevant to the role, giving us both the opportunity to explore whether it could be the right fit.
-
Potentially. Some of my clients use psychometric assessments, including Hogan, as part of their recruitment process to understand more about how you think, work and what you could bring to the team. If that’s part of the process for a role we’re discussing, I’ll make sure you know what to expect and support you through it.
-
No. I’ll always talk to you about the opportunity first and get your written consent and permission before representing you to a client.
-
I’ll always let you know where you stand. If we’ve spoken or you’ve interviewed with my client, I’ll share feedback with you so you understand the decision and, where possible, have something useful to take from the process. And while I can’t promise another suitable role will come up, I’ll keep you in mind and get back in touch if I see an opportunity that I think could be a good fit.
-
Not necessarily. I’m happy to see your existing CV initially. If we’re talking about a particular role and, from our conversation, I think there’s relevant experience or information that isn’t coming through clearly, I’ll suggest where it could be strengthened before I put you forward.
-
Although I am based near Milton Keynes, I recruit for SaaS and tech SMEs across South East and UK. Some roles may require regular travel into London or to more rural office locations, so location and how you’re able to work will always be part of our early conversations.
-
Yes! I’ll be in touch before you start to make sure you have everything you need, and I’ll stay connected once you’re in the role too. I’ll check in around your first day, first week, first month, 3 months, 6-month probation and again at 12 months, so we can see how you’re settling in and how the role is working out for you.
