Meet the Team
Emily started her recruitment career after graduating from Loughborough University back in 2013. She joined KMK Recruitment learning the ropes of recruitment and spent three years working across all office support roles and industries. She then joined a HR Specialist Agency, which is where her experience in HR recruitment began and what she has spent the past five years specialising in.
Alongside recruitment Emily managed a team of consultants, led a mentor scheme and ran multiple HR roundtable events. She has predominantly specialised in the rapidly expanding technology space, where her clients have ranged from large globally established organisations to start-ups and SMEs – an area she loves. She does however have experience working across a variety of commerce and industry sectors including Media, Fintech, B2B, Telecommunications and Retail.
Emily qualified as a Life & Performance Coach last year and is currently studying in Health Coaching, which is something she is working on alongside recruitment. She is also a qualified Mental Health First Aider, so with mental health and wellbeing a huge passion of hers, she is always expanding her network with like-minded HR professionals who want to improve in this area. Alongside working for KMK and her coaching, Emily also runs her own jewellery business, where she handmakes sterling silver jewellery – https://makai-collective.co.uk/. When she has time to relax you’ll find her down the beach with her two working cocker spaniel puppies Otis and Kobi.
Vicki has over eight years' experience working within ‘Medical’ and ‘Human Resources’ Recruitment. Having found her first recruitment role in 2013 whilst living in Australia, Vicki then transferred back to the UK where she found her place within the HR field.
Vicki has specialised predominantly within the interim market with a particular focus on mid to senior-level management and has built some great, long-term relationships across her network. Vicki has worked on a number of recruitment projects supporting SME's and global firms with large-scale redundancies, acquisitions, and mergers and has also worked on the other side of the fence during her time as a Talent Acquisition Partner at KFC supporting the 900 Franchise Restaurants across the UK.
In 2021 Vicki welcomed her daughter Olivia into the world and hasn't slept since. She is a foodie, a wine lover and has recently taken up golf lessons in order to see her husband.
She kickstarted 2022 by joining the team at KMK and returning to the ‘HR Interim’ market where she will be working alongside Emily Smoothy and the rest of the team at KMK.
Jane has an extensive career working in a variety of roles, from supporting small businesses to working as an International Franchise Manager for Avis Global. Jane joined KMK Recruitment at its conception to run their payroll and assist the temporary community with any payroll related enquires; always happy to help, no matter how small or complex the issue might be. When Jane is not working for KMK Recruitment she enjoys spending time with her 10 grandchildren and is an avid cook.
We also have a wider team offering consultative recruitment specialising in all areas of business support, across temporary, contract and permanent roles.
