I focus on culture-fit and lasting partnerships, cutting through the noise to bring clarity, insight, and energy to every hire.

David Pitts
Director
I’m David Pitts, and after 25 years in Supply Chain, including as a director, I joined The HR Recruiters to bring calm, focus, and process-driven recruitment to life.
I believe recruitment works best when the process is right, smooth, efficient, and delivering the right result.
Outside work, I value time with family, cycling, and maybe one day learning the guitar.
Cathy Russell
Marketing Manager
I have a background in customer experience marketing, so I’m passionate about how people feel when they work with a business and sharing how we do things differently at The HR Recruiters.
I mix creativity, process, and hard work, bringing energy to everything I do.
Outside work, you’ll find me with my pup Lottie, family, or immersed in a courtroom drama, book or TV, I’m hooked if there’s a gavel involved.
Karen Thompson
Consultant
I have a strong background in administration, PA, and recruitment, and I’m now building my career in HR, supporting people’s development and solving client queries.
I hold a legal secretarial qualification, giving me a solid foundation in organisation, attention to detail, and communication.
Outside work, I love animals, especially my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels; country walks, breed club events, music, crime documentaries, and catching up with friends.
Barney
Chief Morale Officer
Barney is our much-loved office dog and unofficial Chief Morale Booster, keeping spirits high with boundless energy and daily cuddles.
This Australian Doodle bounces into the office full of excitement and a hopeful eye on treats.
When he’s not winning hearts, he ensures the atmosphere stays positive and welcoming, because recruitment works best when everyone’s spirits are up.
