Sarah Close
Founder & Director
During my career I have covered many aspects of HR, Recruitment and Operations from being a Recruitment Consultant to a Recruitment Agency Director and as a HR Advisor through to Strategic Business Partnering and now I’m a Business Owner.
I have consulted on various organisation restructures and high-growth business start ups. I have a particular interest in people and personality profiling. I’m a firm believer that specific personality traits align with specific career paths.
So why do companies waste so much time and money hiring badly, disciplining employees who are in a job they despise, or promoting leaders that can’t lead?
If individuals and businesses invested in profiling and understanding their true selves and each other. Then time and money would not be wasted, and a fraction of 'work based' Mental Health issues eliminated. A square peg doesn’t fit in a round hole after all!
Teresa Riekert
Director
Teresa develops strong partnerships and is at ease communicating with CEO’s, Business Owners and Management Teams from multiple Industry Sectors. Teresa is an effective Business Partner, a master at juggling multiple tasks and working under pressure. With a background in both HR and Executive Search, she is relentless at seeing any project through to completion, whether that’s delivering robust HR Strategies or securing those first-class senior appointments.
Her work history includes Human Resources, Executive Search and Specialist Recruitment which is complimented by her study/education path being CIPD Level 3, CIPD Level 5 and a Psychology degree obtained at Cardiff University.
An absolute bonus for us all is her ability to balance professionalism with a fun and ridiculous sense of humour.

Tracey has worked within many an industry. Her running feet have firm roots planted in Operations and Finance. Working collaboratively and cohesively; a strong team player with communication at its core who loves a spreadsheet and has the best colour coordinated “to do list” we have ever seen.
