Breaking Barriers: From Recruitment Consultant to Team Leader
Four years ago, Connie Birkett joined Oyster as a Recruitment Consultant.
Today, she’s a Team Leader managing six consultants across Planning, Development & Regeneration. Her progression wasn’t by chance it was the result of ambition, hard work, and the support of our Oyster Elevate programme.
Alexandra Wibroe spotted Connie’s leadership potential early and invested in developing her skills. Now, she’s thriving as a First-Time Leader and setting the standard for what success looks like at Oyster. Her journey is just beginning, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Are you a recruiter ready to take that next step into leadership, but hitting barriers in your current business?
Maybe you’re not getting the development you need, or the opportunity feels out of reach. At Oyster, we have the tools, training, and culture to help you make that leap.
