Tommy Hyde - Team Leader of the Temp Engineering & Manufacturing Sector
I began my career in recruitment when I was 20 years old, which has given me 11 years of recruitment experience. My first recruitment company I joined was called SkyBlue, a company who were a subsidiary of Carillion PLC.
Funnily enough I applied for a role as a temp in a call centre for Carillion as I was looking for something that was only short-term. I goal was to save up and go travelling.
Whilst I was with the company I met a guy called Nick Hallam. Nick saw something in me and thought I would excel in a career in recruitment. I decided to take the chance and was put forward by Nick for a role as a Rail Resourcer. Since then, I have never looked back and spent around four years of my recruitment career at SkyBlue and Carillion.
Since then, I have worked for three different recruitment agencies, ranging my job roles from Recruitment Consultant to Branch Manager. During this I met my goal of travelling and lived in Australia for an amazing 18 months.
I am now part of a great Engineering Team at Venatu, based in our Doncaster office. I’m feeling very grateful to be part of such a hard-working team, making some fantastic strides forward in the last six months. I’m looking forward to progressing my recruitment career with Venatu.
