Specialist HR & People search
Hi, I'm Victoria.
Specialist HR & People search, shaped by more than a decade leading Talent Acquisition from within organisations. I help employers and HR professionals find the right permanent, contract, and interim fit.
I'd welcome a direct conversation about your hiring needs or next HR appointment.
My story
Before founding VJR Talent, I spent more than a decade leading Talent Acquisition within organisations — partnering with executive teams and HR leaders to build high-performing teams.
Hiring was never just about filling vacancies. It was about understanding the commercial priorities of the business, identifying people who would strengthen culture and capability, and making recruitment decisions that supported long-term growth.
That experience shapes how I work today: every search starts with a commercial mindset, and a commitment to people who create lasting impact.

For clients
Whether you need an HR advisor, HR business partner, talent acquisition specialist, L&D professional, or senior people leader, our focus is on quality shortlists rather than volume.
We do not rely on databases and job board applications alone. We identify and approach suitable candidates through targeted search.
We provide clear market information and represent your organisation professionally throughout the recruitment process.
Our consultants apply sector knowledge, ask relevant questions, and prioritise appointment quality over speed alone.
Specialisms
Select a specialism to see the roles I support across the HR & People function.
Recruitment for HR business partners who align people plans with business objectives, from growing organisations to established leadership teams.
How I work
I recruit exclusively within HR & People, with first-hand knowledge of role scope, qualifications, and market conditions.
Confidential searches and career conversations are handled with care and strict confidentiality throughout.
I assess candidates against role requirements, experience, and organisational fit before shortlisting.
My focus is placements that work for both employer and candidate well beyond day one.
What I believe
The brief is never the whole story. The best thing a recruitment partner can do is understand your business well enough to tell you what you actually need, even when that's different to what you've asked for.
