Meet the Team

Hazel leads our recruitment team, sharing her extensive experience and expertise across this industry sector and is a recognised expert at delivering key Senior and, Executive level recruitment assignments.

Over the last 10+ years of running her own, highly successful business, Hazel is delighted to have established Gillespie People Solutions as the leading Rec2Rec consultancy in Scotland and the north of England and, the expert to go to for genuine, honest and truly valuable advice, for employers and recruiters.

Back in 2011, after running award winning teams and coaching and developing colleagues and helping them enjoy successful careers of their own, Hazel decided to make a change and launch her own business identifying and developing new talent in the industry. Hence, Gillespie People Solutions was born and, she hasn’t looked back...!

Hazel confidently demonstrates her skills and wealth of expertise in the Rec2Rec marketplace providing consultancy advice to a long list of business leaders, large and small, in the recruitment industry across the UK. Hazel enjoys working with leadership teams, sharing her knowledge and working closely and collaboratively to get the right results. The Rec2Rec industry is a niche market which Hazel loves working in and, she genuinely enjoys making a tangible difference to her clients' businesses.

Outside of work, Hazel is a self-confessed foodie who loves trying new restaurants. She also enjoys experimenting in her own kitchen from time to time, entertaining friends and, still partying like it's 1999... now and again! Hazel’s greatest passion is her family though and she loves to spend time with her two boys - three really! As a result, she has now been forced to start enjoying football, learning how to play the Xbox and how to build the best Minecraft world and invite people to your 'realm'!

Gill has been sourcing, advising and consulting with recruitment professionals for the last 4 years and brings this knowledge and experience to her position with Gillespie People Solutions, including inhouse and internal recruitment attraction.

One of her primary roles is consulting with entry level applicants and graduates in the earlier stages of their consideration and career choices, offering unbiased insight and extensive about the various career options in recruitment. She is passionate about attracting the best talent to our market and being able to match that talent with the leading, award winning and niche businesses we work with.

Aside from a love of all things recruitment, Gill will be likely found with one of her animals, walking the dogs or with her horse in North Ayrshire – enjoying most outdoor activities, as soon as the laptop is off she’ll be out somewhere! Although, a new found love of baking gets her back in the house from time to time...

Tanita has built up more than 9 years' experience in administrative, sales and support roles across wider industry and the recruitment sector, building and nurturing professional relationships within organisations and getting the job done. As our key resourcing, support and process specialist, Tanita focuses on what role she can play in helping the team find the right person, and the right solution to solve our clients’ problems and exceed their, and our candidate’s expectations. Committed to excellence in service, she’s an invaluable team player as well as being the newest member of the team itself!

When not obsessing about all things candidate and client, Tanita is doing anything but chilling out (unless she is on holiday) and loves to keep active whether that be out with her dogs, climbing up hills, or in the gym. It's not all hard work though, as she’s also a self confessed foodie who loves discovering old and new places to eat and enjoys the odd glass of vino (so she fits right in!).
