About

Before I got into recruitment, I worked in hospitality, and my favourite part was always the relationships. Having a regular's order ready by the time they reached the counter, working with suppliers on new products, and bringing someone new on and watching them find their place in the team. I didn't realise it at the time, but I was already doing the work I'd end up building a career around - just with coffee and beer instead of candidates and clients.

I started Scion Search because I wanted to do things on my own terms. When someone comes to me with a goal, I want to understand where they are now, where they've come from, and what a successful future looks like. From there, we can discuss how to get there.

The name is a nod to my own - Jasmine Rose. It's always been a little too floral for my liking, so I went looking for something with a horticultural connection that felt less obvious. A scion is a new shoot grafted onto an existing plant to strengthen it and help it grow. A well-placed hire does the same for a growing business. The right opportunity can do the same for a career.

So if you're thinking it might be the time - whether that's time to grow your team, time to make a move yourself, or just time to start working out where you want to be - call me.
