Richard Gelder Enjoys...

I love to……run (did my 20th half marathon last year), walk the dog, going to gigs, watching my local rugby team and having the occasional pint

What do you do?

Focusing on mid-level to senior appointments - my job is ‘connecting great people’ by spending time to get to know, understand and meet the needs of both our my clients and candidates.
I lead work with the Property, Housing and Development functions of organisations from the public and not for profit sectors including local authorities; housing associations; blue light; universities and charities.

What are you known for?

I work with my clients for those roles that they find hard to recruit directly, or due to their nature are outsourced to a specialist recruiter. I provide an alternative to recruitment portals and generalist managed service providers - I consult on options and solutions; proving 'in person' recruitment services that are fully compliant with procurement regulations and cost effective via the LGRP and CCS frameworks.

🍹 Go-to Drink

Good pint of pale ale (Castle Rock Harvest Pale if you are asking…)

🎧 Office Soundtrack

Libertines

🏖️ Out-of-office Vibe

Having a run with the dog

🦸 Superpower

Not sure its super but I’m always well prepared!
