Colleague Spotlight
Katherine Mitchell, Recruitment Coordinator

Hi, I’m Katherine and I’m a Recruitment Coordinator. I’ve been with WorkNest (formerly HR Services Partnership) since mid-2021 but I’ve worked as a Resourcer for over a decade.
I love working in recruitment and have thoroughly enjoyed my time at WorkNest so far. For me, it’s about building and nurturing relationships with both the client and candidate, making sure everyone has the best experience. I particularly enjoy working collaboratively with my team and believe that teamwork is key to overall success.
No day is ever the same in recruitment and that’s what I love about it. The feeling when you place a candidate in a role is second to none.
Outside of work, I have four lovely children and took some time out to raise them, embarking on a variety of other opportunities at the same time. But recruitment is my biggest passion, and I couldn’t stay away.
Coming back into recruitment was a challenge for me, but it was one I embraced. I’m proud of myself for adapting to the changes and building my career in recruitment once again.
I’m always happy to help and support wherever needed.
Who you’ll be working with
Client stories

“
Our relationship with WorkNest is more like a supportive partnership. They treat us like peers, and yet provide extraordinary support whenever we need it. Whether it is about the challenges of working through a pandemic or building a new HR strategy, the people at WorkNest have been kind, holding our hand when that was needed (and it was!) and skilled
experts, providing guidance as we required it. We would not have managed through this last period without them, and I look forward to more of this cooperation ahead.”
“
WorkNest supports our 280 staff members with Employment Law and Health & Safety and has provided quality management training too.”
Lisa Best
Head of Service Delivery, Catalyst Choice

We get a great deal of comfort and satisfaction knowing that we have support as and when we need it, in a decisive and responsive way.”
Richard Berry

“
We moved our legal support to WorkNest (formerly Law at Work) having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully we’ve been delighted with the service we’ve received from WorkNest.”

As the company started to get larger, we knew we had to protect our employees and our contractors both onsite and in the offices. WorkNest is exactly what we needed to move the company forward.”
