Connie Atkinson

Connie Atkinson is a Consultant across both the HR and Commercial Recruitment teams, specialising in the appointment of high-quality professionals across the functions that underpin business performance. She works with organisations across the UK to deliver recruitment solutions across roles including HR, marketing, executive support, sales and wider commercial operations.

Since beginning her recruitment career with Shillito Group, Connie has quickly established herself as a trusted and highly effective consultant in this market. Working with SMEs, Tier 1 suppliers and larger PLC businesses, she has developed a strong understanding of the skill sets, personalities and commercial awareness needed to build capable, well-balanced teams.

Connie is known for her positive, proactive and is relationship-led style. She takes time to understand not just the role itself, but the wider context around it, from team dynamics and business goals to culture and long-term fit. That depth of understanding allows her to identify candidates who are not only able to do the job, but who can add real value to the business they join.

Her strong network and consistent market engagement also give her access to talent beyond the active job market, helping clients reach individuals who may not be applying directly but are exactly the right fit for the opportunity.

Although early in her career, Connie has already built an impressive track record, delivering a high fill rate across a range of assignments and earning consistently positive feedback from both clients and candidates. She is particularly strong on roles where success depends on getting the balance right between capability, attitude and fit.

A graduate of the University of Liverpool, Connie brings energy, care and commercial focus to every assignment. She takes genuine pride in helping clients strengthen their teams and in supporting candidates as they take the next step in their careers.
