Data Driven - Meet Alice Moore, Data & Technology Recruitment Consultant

Lovely to have you onboard, Alice! First of all tell us, what is your background and experience?

So my background is a little bit varied, I started off working in logistics specifically within pricing so lots of numbers, tenders, and Excel! That then lead me into data - I became a Pricing Analyst at a logistics company, then onto an Operations Analyst at a fashion company here in Manchester. I learnt a lot about data and analytics along the way as I didn’t study it, so learnt it whilst working (with a fair amount of help from YouTube!). I worked my way up from leaving college and I’m glad that I did it that way now looking back.

What attracted you to The Candidate before you started? Has it lived up to your expectations?

I always had a feeling that I wanted to give recruitment a go, but never did it before as I thought I was on a certain path even though I knew that it would suit me better as a person. When I came to The Candidate it cemented it for me. Straight away in the interview process I could tell that the culture was exactly what I was looking for, and it just seemed like a really nice place to work which it has completely lived up to! All of my colleagues are great and the culture is exactly what I have been striving to find in all of my previous roles.

What is your role at The Candidate and what type of things do you work on?

My role at The Candidate is a Recruitment Consultant specialising in data. I feed into my experience regularly as I work on finding people in the data industry their dream roles. I work on Tech too, but data is my speciality and where my heart is! We recruit for anything you can think of in data, from Analyst to Data Scientist to Data Architect - and everything in between!
