About the expert

Darren has a great track record delivering cost-effective recruitment solutions across a range of technical sectors, including engineering, manufacturing and science. From global FTSE 100 companies to small start-up ventures, he creates innovative campaigns which attract the best talent available.

Having served his recruitment apprenticeship with one of the UK's leading technical recruitment consultancies, he now holds directorships with Remarkable Recruitment (managing director) and Astute Technical Recruitment, the UK's leading power generation and waste management consultancy.

Darren's also developed a unique HR/employment support service for growing companies, and brand management/web development. Remarkable Recruitment offers a free one-hour HR review with a CIPD qualified HR expert for new clients as well as a free review of their brand, website and marketing communications.

Social media is a key tool that Darren has been keen to embrace, using the likes of LinkedIn and Twitter to engage with passive candidates, in addition to those who have registered on popular job boards. These channels open up a much wider pool of individuals, and help keep Darren ahead of his rivals.
