About us

Discover YourRecruit’s journey from 1994, where we’ve grown from a single consultant to a leading agency renowned for our commitment to excellence. Guided by integrity and innovation, our dedicated team specialises in connecting talent with opportunity, shaping successful careers and fostering organisational growth in today’s competitive landscape.

Our journey

Since 1994, YourRecruit has redefined recruitment standards. Starting with just one Consultant, we quickly secured a key contract to supply 30 temps to a marketing company in Croydon. By the end of our first year, we expanded to five consultants, building a reputation for excellence and dedication.

We now have a large, happy team of experienced Consultants and Resourcers, plus Administrative and Accounts staff who make sure the business runs like clockwork and ensure a seamless recruitment service at all times.

Our growth is rooted in our core values of integrity and personalised service. We focus on understanding each client’s unique needs, ensuring every placement adds value. This approach has forged lasting partnerships and a track record of exceptional recruitment solutions across various sectors.

My name is Nicola Mae Sales, and I am the founder and Managing Director of YourRecruit.

My family live in Copthorne and comprise of my husband Martyn, daughter, Kai and my cat and horse.

In recruitment, no two days are the same and I work alongside a happy all women team where daily belly laughter is the norm. We do take our jobs seriously and it is a pleasure speaking to so many lovely people each day. It is even more of a pleasure when someone screams in excitement when they are offered a job; this why recruitment is so exciting because we get to make so many people happy and, in some cases, it can be life changing for them.

Find me on linkedin and please do make contact if you are looking for the next steps in your career journey.

I am also a Scorpio so will fight fearlessly for what I think is right and I have the highest values, best friendships and awesome work colleagues who are also family and friends.

Nicky Waiton

Group Director

Hi, I’m Nicky Waiton, one of the Group Directors here at YourRecruit. I kicked off my recruitment career as a Recruitment Administrator at 21, and I’ve seen the industry change in so many ways since then. It’s been a journey—sometimes challenging, but always rewarding—and my passion for connecting the right people with the right opportunities has only grown stronger. Leading a team that’s just as committed to excellence and innovation as I am is something I’m really proud of.

 

When I’m not at work, you’ll likely find me at my happy place by the beach, where I spend most weekends soaking up the sea breeze. If I’m not there, I’m probably enjoying a glass (or two) with my amazing friends and family. I’m also a huge fan of live music—whether it’s a concert or a local band, I’m always looking for the next chance to make memories seeing my favorite artists.

 

Whether you’re seeking a new career opportunity or need expert assistance in finding the perfect candidate, I’m here to help. Let’s connect and build a lasting, successful partnership. Reach out to me, and let’s get started on your journey. You can find me on Linkedin – I look forward to connecting with you.

Laura Hitchens

Group Director

01883 331694

Hi, I’m Laura Hitchens, one of the Group Directors at YourRecruit. After more than a decade with the company, I’ve become a core part of the team—practically part of the furniture!

 

With nearly 20 years in recruitment, I’ve experienced the highs and lows that come with the territory. But recruitment is in my blood, and I’m passionate about guiding both clients and candidates through their ever-changing journeys. My job allows me to transform lives, environments, and careers – there are very few roles that offer that level of impact, and I cherish it every day. I can’t imagine doing anything else—unless, of course, I suddenly became a millionaire!

 

Outside of work, I’m fortunate to have a wonderful network of friends and family. My two beautiful daughters, Isla and Layla, keep me on my toes during the day, while evenings are often spent unwinding with my husband and a glass (or bottle!) of wine. On weekends, you’ll find me lunching with friends, exploring new restaurants, or hosting lively dinner parties/bbqs at home. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip, a day at the spa, or a cheeky weekend getaway, I’m always up for an adventure!

 

If you are looking for a new opportunity, or to secure a recruitment partnership, I am readily available to have a chat and discuss how I can help you; let’s begin our working relationship together and lets connect on Linkedin.

Melanie Donohue

Senior Recruitment Consultant

My name is Melanie and I’m a Senior Recruitment Consultant at YourRecruit. Having joined the company in 2016, I’m delighted to say I’ve found my forever job!

I love the camaraderie within the team, and the fact that no two days are the same. Teamwork is key, and we all support each other to be the best we can be in our roles, which is unusual in this field. Helping candidates with their job search is very rewarding, there’s nothing better than having the privilege to tell them they’ve secured their dream job!  Equally, I love getting to know clients, understanding their business needs and offering solutions to help them find the new team member they’re looking for.

Outside of work, I’m a wife and a mum to twin boys who keep me on my toes. Twice a week I can be found watching rugby and cheering the boys on, alongside Nicky and her son. When I’m not playing taxi driver to the boys, I’m an avid DIY-er and enjoy being creative.

Feel free to send me a connection on LinkedIn, and do get in touch if I can help you on your job search or employee search – always happy to be your partner on the journey.

Chloe Hallett

Recruitment Consultant

Hi there! I’m Chloe, and I’m thrilled to be a Recruitment Consultant with YourRecruit.

 

My career started in Childcare, where I was always surrounded by eager little ones reaching for hugs and attention. While I cherished every moment with them, I realised my passion for helping others could extend beyond the world of childcare. That’s when I discovered my true calling in recruitment.

 

Now, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to shift careers. Every day, I get to help people achieve their goals, build meaningful relationships, and make a positive impact on both clients and candidates. It’s incredibly rewarding and fulfilling!

 

When I’m not working, life continues to be busy at home. I am a proud homeowner of which I share with my boyfriend Jack (who’s taking far too long with that ring!), our beloved fur babies Blue and Skyla, and our newest joy and addition to the family, our adorable baby boy Reggie.

 

Let’s connect on LinkedIn – I’d love to network and explore how we can work together!

Recruitment Consultant

Hi, my name is Alexis, otherwise known as Lex to those that know me!

I live in Oxted with my husband Matt, son Theo and my 15-year-old Cocker Spaniel Casper.

Most of my time is spent going on mini adventures with Theo, which usually means a friend or two of his in tow too! I love to spend quality time with my first-born fur baby Casper going on lovely walks in and around Oxted. We all enjoy a day at the beach when we can face the long drive to the coast!

I love a good catch up with the girls when I have a free window away from being mummy…

I love being in Recruitment as quite literally no two days are the same. It really does put a huge smile on your face, playing such a pivotal role in what is considered as one of life’s major events, changing jobs.

Grace Rudd

Recruitment Operations Specialist

Hello! I’m Grace, the Recruitment Operations Specialist at YourRecruit, where I’ve been proudly helping shape careers since 2021, right after finishing my A-levels.

 

Recruitment is an adventure—no two days are ever the same, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m fortunate to work with an incredible team that makes every challenge feel like a new opportunity. I have learnt from some of the best in the industry and am so grateful for their guidance, encouragement and support to date. But shh, I’ll let you in on a little secret—I don’t always tell them how amazing they are (gotta keep them on their toes, right? 😉).

 

I’ve lived in Oxted my entire life, and it’s where I find my balance between work and play. I like to think of myself as a fun, outgoing person—if there’s something exciting happening on the weekend, you can bet I’m there! My passion doesn’t stop at work; I’m also an avid equestrian, and there’s nothing quite like the thrill of jumping with my horse.

 

Life at home is just as lively! My boyfriend and I are proud dog parents to four wonderful pups—three Labradors and one energetic Whippet. We even bred two of them ourselves, so they’re a big part of our world.

 

Whether you’re on the lookout for your next career move or searching for the perfect addition to your team, I’m always here to help. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn—I’d love to be your trusted partner on this exciting journey.
