Meet Sarah – Our Newest Team Member! Sarah has officially joined the Origin team and is settling in, getting to know our ways and values.
Who is Sarah? With a background working with dogs at Barkley Manor and later expanding her expertise as a Client Experience Manager in the beauty industry, Sarah has built strong relationships and networks - leading her to the dynamic world of recruitment.
Why Recruitment? When I was ready to grow in my career, I had no idea what path suited me. Having a recruiter guide me through the process was invaluable - they helped me navigate applications, avoid common pitfalls, and ultimately land the right opportunity. I built such a strong relationship with my recruiter that I was invited to join their team! Now, I get to make an impact on others’ journeys, just as they did for me. I love listening, educating, and helping people find their perfect fit.”
Beyond work, Sarah is a creative soul who loves drawing, reading, and exploring health and well-being. She also has a paw-some assistant, Lily the Labrador, who ensures she makes it home on time for walks and cuddles.
