Macildowie, the East Midlands recruitment specialist, has announced the appointment of four new consultants.

The new recruits will be split across the company's Nottingham and Leicester offices, with each focusing on one of Macildowie's three areas of specialist recruitment  - HR, finance and procurement and supply chain.

University of St Andrews graduate Tom McMillan joins the team with five years experience in financial recruitment in both London and Nottingham. He will now be tasked with looking after the qualified finance interim desk for Nottinghamshire.

Hollie Stone, newly graduated from the University of Leeds, will work on procurement and supply chain recruitment across Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire, whilst Joel Stevenson will focus on positions up to £25k in the same sector, having previously studied law and criminology in Sheffield. 

They will be joined by Richard Cook, a graduate who has previously worked in finance for both IBM and Alliance Boots. In his new role, Richard will focus on recruiting part-qualified accountants in both Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes.

Continuing Macildowie's reputation for talent development, Hollie, Richard and Joel take on their new roles after graduating from the company's long-running Talent Pool trainee scheme.

Commenting on the new appointments, Macildowie director James Taylor said:

"We're continually raising the bar in order to create the strongest team possible and to ensure that our clients continue to receive the quality service and recruitment solutions we're renowned for.

"Tom, Hollie, Joel and Richard are all great additions to that team and join us at a time of growth, both internally and in the recruitment sector as a whole. 

"Macildowie has always had an ethos of investing in young talent and our new consultants are no exception. It's also hugely rewarding to see that a number of them have joined us from our own trainee scheme, clearly demonstrating that we have the capabilities to produce the very best recruitment experts."

It was recently revealed that the Talent Pool scheme is set to take on the highest number of trainees in Macildowie's history, with 16 individuals entering the training process over the next 12 months.
