Headway Recruitment: Project Management

Sally joined Headway Recruitment in 2017, bringing with her a strong background in business development and sales. Early on, she realised recruitment was where her strengths really came to life. As a result, she quickly built a reputation for being organised, dependable and people-focused.

Today, as Recruitment & Development Manager, Sally plays a key role in keeping Headway running smoothly. She supports clients, candidates and the internal team across Leeds and Bradford. In particular, she works closely with key clients to ensure recruitment processes stay efficient, structured and human at every stage.

Sally is known for her attention to detail and calm, methodical approach. She manages pipelines, oversees processes and supports consultants to deliver consistently high standards. As a result, very little slips through the cracks.

What really sets Sally apart, however, is how she combines structure with genuine care for people. She’s motivated by making a difference. Whether that’s supporting a candidate through a career change or helping a client navigate a challenging hire, she brings clarity and reassurance throughout the process.

Her psychometric profile is Si, often referred to as ‘The Counsellor’. This reflects her warm, approachable nature and strong communication style. As a result, she builds trust quickly and brings a steady, positive energy to the team.

Outside of work, Sally’s happy place is the kitchen. With a cookbook open and music playing, she enjoys trying new recipes and unwinding after a busy week.
