Get to Know Sanderson: Our Regional Director

If you're thinking about selecting Sanderson as your recruitment partner (a great idea, we must say), you'll probably want to know a little bit more about the team. Our new series of Get to Know Sanderson blogs will give you an insight into the great people we employ, how they've achieved their experience and why they're the best people you can choose to help you resolve your resourcing challenges.



Meet Harvey Woods, Regional Director at Sanderson




Where you'll find him:
Heading up the Sanderson Manchester team on King Street

Harvey, give us your CV and experience in a nutshell: 
  • I graduated from the University of Salford in '97 with a BSc in Business & Management
  • I applied to work as a Resourcer at Computer People
  • Building up experience from the bottom, I starting out sourcing candidates for a team of Consultants in the pre-internet era
  • 15 years later I was a member of the Board and running just over half of Computer People
  • Set my mind on a new challenge in the "corporate" environment and was approached by CBSButler for the role of Sales Director 


What made you want to work at Sanderson:
When you do your due diligence on Sanderson, you quickly realise the sheer scale and scope of what you can achieve there. Sanderson, to me, represents the best foot forward of the staffing industry, a grown up forward thinking environment full of high tenured professional people who are passionate about their company and brand, and their role within it. It’s a company you instantly want to align yourself with for the rest of your career, and I don’t think I can say anything that resonates stronger than that.



What does your role involve:
My role as Regional Director is to attract the top 10% of talent within the industry to work alongside us in Manchester. We make no apology for wanting the best people to work with us, and to build an industry-leading business that is respected internally and externally. Ultimately, a relationship based approach to the market underpins everything we do. We look for the areas of concern or strategic importance to our customers, and then try to advise on an appropriate solution. With our candidates, it’s about taking the time to understand their experience, skills & aspirations in depth and in person, wherever possible, so that we can correctly advise them on the best opportunities as a trusted career partner.

What are your hopes for the Manchester team: 
My aspiration is that, within 5 years, Sanderson Manchester is the default selection as the staffing partner of choice within the region; that we employ unmatched standards of ethics and conduct; that we are known for the highest levels of service excellence. My team and I have a vision of what Sanderson Manchester looks and feels like in 2, 5 & 10 years, and that’s what we strive towards every day.
