Siobhan Rourke began her career running a temp desk in Central London 25 years ago.
In 2008, Hatty Blue was formed – combining years of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm – and quickly established itself as an expert in the talent sourcing world.
17 years later and the team at Hatty Blue has proven its mettle in serving a huge range of clients in the Corporate, FM, Creative and FMCG sectors. Siobhan and the team are highly skilled when it comes to sourcing and matching talent, building an impressive candidate and client base that continues to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the industry.
Honesty, integrity and mutual respect are the foundations of Hatty Blue, all values that have enabled the team to build an unparalleled reputation.
Siobhan graduated in Business with a major in Human Resources where she gained her CIPD Membership. She began her career 25 years ago running a busy secretarial temps desk for a London media agency before gaining international experience in Sydney working for a fashion recruitment agency. She went on to set up an in-house recruitment department for Budweiser, where she ran assessment centres and recruiting across the business spectrum. Siobhan then returned to agency side recruitment where she managed major accounts for leading international media and corporate organisations.
Siobhan still very much prefers the hands-on approach, taking time out to meet every new client and ensure that they get the correct fit when it comes to temp or perm talent. Nurturing relationships and building pools of talent is what Siobhan loves and what makes her the lynch pin of Hatty Blue.
She spends her weekends spinning, chasing her children around the countryside and walking her labradoodle Bailey.
Oran graduated from University College Dublin with a degree in English and Drama. Following her studies, she gained valuable experience in various corporate roles while temping, allowing her to develop strong adaptability and organisational skills. Her passion for working with people led her to the dynamic world of recruitment, where she has thrived in a fast-paced environment. Through her experience, Oran has significantly developed her confidence in building and maintaining strong client relationships.
In her role on the Permanent Team as a Recruiter, Oran brings enthusiasm, dedication, and a people-focused approach to her role.
