Liz Gadd - Liz has been working in recruitment for 31 years, and has studied recruitment through a degree and a diploma in Recruitment Practice. She's also taken literally hundreds of other courses and development programmes related to recruitment practice and strategy.
To put the last three decades into context, when Liz started recruiting in 1992 there were 10 candidates for every job; in 2022 and now there are 10 jobs for every candidate (many more if you count 100% remote working opportunities).
Liz and Becs are proud founders of Moxie and Mettle (recruiters for the creative sector) as well as Recruitment Bootcamp. Over the last 31 years, Liz has set up, run and sold five recruitment businesses, launched two from scratch as a consultant for recruitment groups;, and managed two other agencies as an employee. Having worked for herself since 1997, Liz is now in partnership with Rebecca Hodgson, who has 21 years’ experience too, quite a team!
Liz says:
“For most of my recruitment career, I have been astounded at some awful recruitment practices by employers! I’ve been critical of behaviours and attitudes. I’ve been bothered at the things some people said during a recruitment interview. All parts of the process have been challenging at times due to inappropriate or discriminatory process, in particular unconscious bias, and sadly on a fairly regular basis. Bad practice in recruitment is sadly still a very regular occurrence.
Many times I’m just been frustrated that recruiting managers/directors just “don’t get the obvious” - and I’ve tried to do my bit to educate, advise, encourage and coach people, as have my teams over the years.
On the flipside, I’ve worked with some amazing clients who do most things perfectly but don’t always get the results due to just not knowing how to tweak or change the process to suit the particular market conditions.
The pandemic permanently changed the recruitment landscape in the creative sector, and I’ve felt very privileged and fortunate to have been able to help so many clients and candidates navigate uncertain waters and help companies and people pave a way that will work for all parties. It’s still ever changing, with flexible working/hybrid/remote options always a talking point as well as many other aspects of people getting a new role and clients seeking talent.
We aim to change how recruitment is done in the creative sector - one Recruitment Bootcamp at a time!
Our recruitment experience in the creative sector covers all those involved in marketing, creative, digital, design, PR, communications, social media, and creative production; and those in support roles in the sector. This includes both in-house teams and agencies, and applies to both freelance and permanent people and roles.
Celia Gadd has been coaching and mentoring for many years, having started as one of the youngest people in the country to pass all her British Horse Society teaching qualifications.
Celia started her journey as an entrepreneur after leaving school at 16, and set up a large equestrian riding school and livery yard which was soon fully booked. She went on to run one of the largest competition centres in the South West, being responsible for all of their events, PR and marketing. In 1998 Celia set up her first equestrian magazine, Somerset Riders, being responsible for the production, advertising sales and editorial content, and within 9 months had sold the title to the Western Daily Press who took the magazine in-house and included it within their newspaper, keeping Celia on as Editor for the next 10 years.
During this time, Celia also worked closely with Liz Gadd (her sister), in the rural sector of the recruitment agencies, and successfully placed many candidates into the industry. Celia and Liz together developed the lifestyle magazine, Equine, Canine and Country, which was also later sold to another publisher.
Through her time working on the magazines, Celia helped numerous small businesses with their social media, marketing, PR and advertising campaigns and is a well-known person in the industry.
Her love of coaching and developing people has shone out during her time with her network marketing business, Utility Warehouse. Having started with the company in 2009 she now has a team of nearly 900 partners and has worked her way up to one of the highest levels in the company and is a well respected company trainer. Celia is a confident and eloquent speaker and is often asked to take the stage at large events to share her high level of knowledge and experience.
Last year (April 2021) she started up Passion to Pocket, a business in which she helps entrepreneurs navigate their way through the struggles of running their own business. She covers mindset, goal setting, social media, marketing, money mindset and how to increase productivity through a series of live training and courses.
Liz and Celia are working together on the courses within Gadd and Gadd, with particular emphasis over the coming months on promoting the brilliant Recruitment Bootcamp which launched in March 2023.
