LABOUR HIRE SPECIALIST

I fell into the ‘cruiting trap…
I know I know, it happens to the best of us!

Here I was in my blissful little bubble thinking I’d be on the marketing bandwagon for years to come, when all of a sudden I found myself looking down the barrel of something MUCH bigger!

All of the best things about marketing combined and leveraged into a position where I can truly make a difference to everyday businesses and the lives of people in our communities. Adaptability, challenge, communication, truly getting to the core of what people need, while still getting to smash things out creatively to ensure we’re securing the epitome of top talent? Absolutely sign me up! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Liv Jolliffe

Recruiter

‘Definitely not a wallflower’

I was described as this once, probably with the intention of causing offence – but in fact, it had the opposite effect… I’m definitely NOT A WALLFLOWER. I’m outrageous, fun loving, energetic and am usually juggling multiple categories of life, all at once!
What’s that saying? “If you want something done, give it to someone busy”? Insert raised hand emoji here!

Part of my skill set learnt early on, working in the event industry, is to facilitate expectations – both from a client and vendor perspective. You’re the middle man. You’re there to bridge the gap between what the client wants and what the vendor can provide. Much like recruiting… We’re here to find you the perfect fit, and to be open and honest about what that looks like for both client and candidate.

Safe to say I’ve found my happy place – providing both clients and candidates with solutions to their problems in a timely, no fuss approach, with modern marketing and a kick a$$ team.

I’ve always had a passion for learning new skills and it excites me to grow both personally & professionally within the Hunty team.

I hope to bring that same feeling of growth & connectedness to the clients and candidates in their employer/employee recruitment journey.

Kaity Flagg

PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT

Let’s start with the important stuff.

I stand at a whopping 5 feet tall and have officially perfected my response to short jokes: “Diamonds don’t come the size of bricks.” Ha!

I love a good pair of heels, any excuse to get dolled up, a glass of champagne in hand and Fleetwood Mac on in the background and honestly, you had me at hello.

So, how did I fall into recruitment?

Well… I turned up and never left.

Literally. That’s the whole story. Rhyley is still kicking himself.

But in all seriousness, after a decade in the game, one of my favourite things about recruitment is the front-row seat it gives you into so many different businesses and industries. Every workplace has its own personality, its own story, its own way of doing things and I feel really lucky that I get a look behind the curtain of so many of them.

More than anything though, I love that people trust me to help add quality to their teams. That part never gets old.

Coming from the land myself, I’ve also found myself naturally drawn to the agricultural space over the years. There’s just something about it that makes sense to me; the people, the hard work, the communities, the no-frills approach. Being able to recruit in an industry I genuinely understand and relate to has become a big part of what I do, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

If you’re up for a chat about networking, career opportunities, or just want to connect, I’d love to hear from you!

Rhyley Hunter

Managing Director

First and foremost, I’m a devoted father and husband, fully embracing the responsibilities that come with those roles. My family’s well-being is my main concern; everything else is secondary. It’s an absolute madhouse at times, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

A rehabilitated people-pleaser who no longer feels the need to masquerade as someone I’m not.

As I’ve grown older, wiser, and balder, I have found myself speaking less, listening more, and not worrying about what others think of me.

Life is short.

Business doesn’t have to be serious and full of pretenders, so I’ve taken off the mask and am simply being me: rough around the edges, quirky, and a bit of a strange cat.

Business has always fascinated me, with its ups and downs, daily lessons, and the inevitable growth that accompanies them. Along the way, I’ve accumulated my fair share of battle scars, both figuratively and maybe a few clumsy mishaps here and there. But hey, it’s all part of the journey, and I’ve learned valuable lessons from each experience.

Recruitment holds a special place in my heart because I have personally experienced the impact that an exceptional team can have on businesses. Hence, I recognize the immense importance of the industry.

I am very well aware of the transformative power we possess in helping individuals pursue improved career prospects and overall lifestyles.

Leading the Huntsman team is an absolute privilege. I love helping people grow and better themselves. I have my team’s back through thick and thin, and whatever happens, I take full ownership and responsibility.
