Katie Coates

Managing Director
I started with Harrison Sands at the very beginning and in 10 years we’ve built an amazing business. It’s been a journey of course, but I am so incredibly proud of the client and candidate base we’ve built in that time. I love the fact we’re viewed as a trusted advisor and not ‘just another Rec2Rec. I will always work hard to ensure that you get what you’re looking for culturally and practically as well as commercially.

Harry Stratford

Recruitment Consultant
I'm back at Harrison Sands after three years working internally within a recruitment business, and that experience has completely changed how I approach rec2rec. I specialise in London recruitment and genuinely understand what agencies need when they're scaling and what candidates actually want from their next move. No fluff, no false promises, just honest conversations about your career and how to get you where you want to be. Heart on my sleeve, slightly unhinged, completely focused. Let's talk.

Elle Jones

Sr Recruitment Consultant
I specialise in education recruitment and know this market inside out. Whether you're a business looking to build your team or a recruiter exploring opportunities in the sector, I'm here to help you get it right. My approach is straightforward: I listen, I deliver and I don't waste your time. If you're hiring in education or considering your next move within the sector, let's have a conversation. Honest guidance, no nonsense.
