1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your experience.
I’m Daniel, a Specialist Recruitment Consultant based in Ruthin, a vibrant market town in north Wales. After graduating in 2017 from Liverpool John Moores University with a degree in Sports Coaching, I’ve gained vast experience in various customer-facing roles. Over the past few years, I’ve discovered my true passion in recruitment.
I knew I wanted to pursue a career where I could combine my strong communication skills and my interest in helping others. I’m passionate about creating long-lasting relationships with both candidates and clients and the opportunity to have such a direct impact on someone’s career or a company’s growth is incredibly rewarding. The personal connections and success stories I’ve witnessed make every day a fulfilling one.
2. What inspired you to join Darogan?
I was inspired to join Darogan due to experiencing firsthand the lack of advertising for amazing job opportunities within Wales. Many employers in Wales are at a disadvantage, as job listings often come from larger cities such as Chester, Liverpool, Manchester, and London. This leaves Welsh companies with a smaller pool of candidates and, more importantly, it means they risk losing out on incredible local talent. It’s crucial to help elevate Welsh businesses and contribute to the Welsh economy by ensuring that local opportunities are promoted effectively and reach the right people. Darogan’s mission to bridge that gap resonated deeply with me, and I’m excited to be part of this effort.
3. What are your hobbies and interests?
When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me exploring the outdoors, especially the stunning landscapes of North Wales. I’m an avid movie buff, love hiking, and discovering new places to unwind.
I’m also a huge sports fan, particularly football, I’ll never turn down an opportunity to watch a Manchester United match with friends (don’t judge!). On quieter days, I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
4. What are you most looking forward to in your role with Darogan?
As Darogan’s new Senior Talent Consultant, I’m most excited about continuing to build strong relationships with both clients and candidates in the numerous events we conduct throughout the UK. I look forward to identifying talented professionals and introducing them to their next role here in Wales.
