Like most people I fell into the world of recruitment.  I grew up in Buckinghamshire, with a few years living in Jamaica, before heading up to Yorkshire for University and eventually settling down in Ilkley.  

My career began with a start-up internet firm during the end of the .com boom, before finding myself being drawn to the world of IT recruitment early in 2001.  After spending a number of years moving between IT recruitment and Executive Search I entered the world of Talent Research, a rapidly evolving market being driven by the growth of strategic in-house talent acquisition functions. 

In January 2018 I founded my own firm, focussed on delivering high value talent sourcing solutions to support in-house recruitment teams with their senior and niche hiring.  Since then, we have built partnerships with some of the largest brands in the world as well as a number of high-growth PE back firms.  While the organisation has expanded and evolved over the years our values have remained un-changed and reflect how we work as a business, but also how we act as individuals.  It is what I am most proud of and is why we have an amazing client retention rate.

Outside of work I am heavily involved in local grassroots sport, coaching my son’s rugby and daughter’s football teams.  I also enjoy exploring the amazing countryside of Yorkshire with my family and Buddy  – our dog and also the Head of Office Entertainment!

I joined Charlie Mcintosh in October 2022. 
 
I studied Dance & Theatre Arts at the University of Birmingham before performing for a couple of years.  I began my career in recruitment over 18 years ago and have worked in a number of roles from Resourcer to Researcher, Account Manager to Resourcing Manager.  I enjoy the variety that working in recruitment brings where no two days are the same. 
 
I live in North Yorkshire with my husband, two daughters and Labrador.  Time outside of work is mostly spent playing Mum’s Taxi to my daughters sporting activities but when I get some free time its usually spent walking Amber, karate training, reading and heading off on adventures in our VW Campervan!

Things most people don’t know about me…

• I performed as Baby Bear at Alton Towers Hotel & Resort
• I obtained the Chief Scouts Award having become the first girl invested into Scouts in Staffordshire
• I was in a Fairly Liquid advert
• I was accepted into the Ambulance Service to train as a Paramedic
• I can juggle fire clubs

Hi, I’m Amelia and I joined Charlie McIntosh in May 2019.

I’ve worked in the recruitment industry for 9 years, including Resourcing, Exec Search, and Research & Insight roles. My experience has covered a range of sectors including Tech, FMCG, Healthcare/Bio Tech, Engineering, Sales & Marketing and Management Consulting. I love working in recruitment, meeting new clients, introducing that perfect candidate and the learning journey we go on with new Research & Insight projects.

I live in West Yorkshire with my husband and son. Mum life is very busy but when I do get some spare time I enjoy baking, reading a good autobiography, going to the theatre and, if I’m really pushing the boat out, a trip to the spa.

Officially number two into the team at Charlie McIntosh Ltd, I like to see my role in the company as Chief of Wellbeing, while also leading on various initiatives to distract my fellow colleagues.

I’m a firm believer in hybrid working, and also balancing high levels of activity with plenty of sleep.

My favourite part of the working day is getting out on Ilkley Moor for a lunchtime stroll….although that is closely followed by keeping people company while watching them eat their lunch!
