He graduated from Queen Mary, University of London, with a BA in Politics and Business Management, and started his career with a boutique search agency in London, focused on sales placements into AdTech and Media Owners. After 3 successful years he joined an agency focused in the PR market, building out a team of three. Rob’s focus on senior level engagements in the revenue function gave him a strong bedrock for placing Executive Search Partners.

Rob played competitive rugby for a number of years, which instilled a competitive nature and strong team leadership capabilities. Now retired from rugby, Rob primarily spends his time with his partner Emily and his two dogs, Angie and Hector, as well as staying active in the gym.

His focus at Tempting Talent is strategically growing the brand via business development, as well as training and motivating the team.

"Tempting Talent has redefined what is possible in the recruitment-to-recruitment and the wider recruitment space. It is competing with, and beating its best performing clients in traditional recruitment markets, without even scratching the surface of its addressable market."
