She left the role in 2018 to retrain and subsequently started her Degree in 2019. Sadly, due to the COVID pandemic, her course was delayed by a year, so whilst she waited to complete her studies, she used all of her previous knowledge to work as a Consultant with us until June 2021, then consequently staying on with the business as a part time Resourcer whilst studying. She has since gained a First Class Honours Degree in Business and Digital Marketing and has now returned full time as our Events and Marketing Manager/ Recruitment Consultant. In her spare time, you will find Izzy walking her Sausage Dog, Richmond on the cliffs or attending music events and festivals for work or fun!

For the first time in my career, I feel like my efforts are appreciated and properly rewarded and I do not take my work home with me."

Morag Bruce
RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT
Morag joined Ethic Recruit in August 2023 as a Recruitment Consultant. Following finishing School on the Isle of Skye, Morag embarked upon a Seafaring Apprenticeship with the Merchant Navy.

Moving from one side of the UK to another and settling in Cornwall, Morag pursued a career in recruitment as she wanted a role that was busy and fulfilling, making use of the skills she had learnt and building upon those, whilst lending itself to her outdoorsy lifestyle. When she isn’t working, Morag will be found swimming, sailing or walking, socialising with friends or having some downtime with a good book!

“I wanted to join Ethic Recruit as I really like the values the company holds, and how they prioritise employee wellbeing. Having a good work life balance was really important to me when looking for something new after leaving my last role.”
Alicia joined Ethic Recruit in August 2023 as a Recruitment Consultant. Following her move to Cornwall from Sheffield to embark upon her Degree in Fashion Marketing at Falmouth Uni, she fell in love with the County and met her partner. Wanting to stay, but not knowing exactly which career path she wanted to follow, she decided to investigate what recruitment was all about! Being a high achiever and holding high standards, she liked the idea of working for an established headhunting consultancy in a fast-paced environment. She strongly believed that putting her customer service and marketing experience to good use within a company that would support and train her, would result in helping candidates find their perfect role. Besides loving all Cornwall has to offer, Alicia goes sea swimming all year round and loves crocheting, including making clothes and accessories for herself and her family.
​
“Coming out of University, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do next and not many places would take someone with little experience. I knew I wanted to join Ethic Recruit when I first met everyone during my interview, because I knew that I was going to feel supported and welcomed.”

Georgia Attenborough
RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT
Georgia joined Ethic Recruit in August 2023 as a Recruitment Consultant. Prior to joining, Georgia had established herself within a highly successful career in Hairdressing. Starting at just 16, Georgia progressed with the same employer to a management role over the 8 years she spent there. She undertook a Leadership and Managerial course, lending itself to strengthening her organisational skills, ability to communicate and motivate those around her, and building her ability to form professional relationships with all stakeholders. Identifying the parallels between the skills learnt in this role and recruitment, she took the plunge, eager to learn new skills and anticipated a sense of joy in helping those she would work with succeed. Now Georgia is in a less physically demanding role, she has thrown herself into playing tennis and being active outdoors, often camping and planning adventures including visiting new restaurants and bars in her spare time. When she’s not outdoors, she loves being at home, playing games, watching films and cooking for friends.

Nicole joined Ethic Recruit in 2021 as the chief resourcer for the team. Previously a Music, Theatre and Entertainment Management student, Nicole brings an amazing energy which has allowed her to build strong relationships with both her candidates and the Ethic Recruit team.

This teaching experience means she has gained a good understanding of what makes a committed and passionate teacher and in turn, a valuable candidate. Although Nicole has no extra responsibility yet, she hopes to build and guide her own team of resourcers as the business grows. In her spare time Nicole enjoys sea swimming, reading, listening to music from around the world and cooking new dishes from different countries.
