Kate Skipper

People have always been at the heart of what I do.

With over 10 years’ experience in hospitality management, General Manager and Area Manager roles, I developed a passion for people, leadership and building high-performing teams.

Moving into specialist recruitment 14 years ago,  I have helped businesses across Hospitality, Property and Workspace find exceptional talent.

Having worked on both sides of the interview table, I understand the challenges of hiring and the importance of finding someone who is the right fit — not just on paper, but for the culture and future of the business.

I believe recruitment is about building relationships, understanding people and connecting the right talent with the right opportunities.

 

Specialisms

Hospitality With over a decade of hands-on industry experience, I recruit across management, operations and head office roles, including Sales, Marketing and Finance. My operational background means I understand the pace, pressures and culture of hospitality.

Property I recruit across residential, commercial and mixed-use property, sourcing professionals who combine technical expertise with strong communication, professionalism and customer service.

Workspace I support flexible workspace operators in finding people who understand the importance of community, customer experience and commercial success.

 

Why Work With Me?

I believe recruitment should never be transactional. I take the time to understand every client, role and candidate before making an introduction.

✔ A genuine understanding of your business and culture
✔ In-depth candidate interviews
✔ Detailed candidate summaries — not just CVs
✔ Focus on personality and cultural fit as well as experience
✔ Honest, consultative advice throughout the process
✔ Long-term relationships rather than one-off placements

My aim is simple: to introduce people who genuinely add value to your business — not just fill a vacancy.
