Talent Acquisition Consultant

Hi, I'm Alan and I'm a Talent Acquisition specialist within IT recruitment at Harvey Nash. 
I have a wealth of experience in recruiting for IT roles within the public sector. This ranges from IT project managers, to DevOps/Software Engineers to Solution Architects.
Outside of work, I've always been really active going to the gym, boxing a few times a week, and watching football - an Arsenal fan. However, I've recently become a dad so it's been more gentle strolls and night feeds than squats and deadlifts.&nbsp;
The best piece of advice I've received is, "Don't worry about what you don't have, make the most of what you do have."
