Melissa Royce joined Marks Sattin in April 2011 as a Manager for Change Management and quickly progressed to Associate Director of our Banking and Financial Services Division specializing in Temporary recruitment across core Finance and Change Management within retail and investment banking, insurance and Investment Management.
Prior to joining Marks Sattin Melissa started her career working for Coca Cola and Red Bull in sales and marketing before stepping into the world of recruitment starting her career with Robert Half before becoming a Director of a start up recruitment business based in London. Throughout her career Melissa has been the driving force behind the launch of new divisions and offices. Melissa has an excellent understanding of the Banking and Financial Services and will continue to develop close relationships with a number of key contacts within the sector.
"Over the period from April / May to date I have worked closely with Melissa on two specific pieces of work, firstly securing a PM position for myself and secondly filling a BA vacancy for my work stream. For both pieces of work I was very impressed with Melissa's drive, tenacity and resourcefulness in pursuing options and following up to achieve the required outcomes. During the job search for a PM role Melissa worked proactively on my behalf and put in a considerable amount of effort to keep the process moving, during the search for a BA she showed the same drive and initiative to find suitable candidates for a particularly challenging requirement set."
