Anna Smith

In addition to running the business, I personally focus on senior/exec level recruitment (MD, Director, C-Suite), Operational and HR Leadership and Marketing, Brand and Creative Strategists). I build bespoke campaigns tailored to the roles needs and levels of confidentiality required. My passion for people in the workplace gave birth to Beyond The Book, with my business partner, in 2009. We had an unrelenting purpose to build a full-service recruitment agency with a solid reputation for exceptional recruitment. 15 years on and we have become well established as trusted experts in delivering the right people and outstanding recruitment experiences across Marketing, Creative, Product, Operations, HR, and Sales. Our full-service approach includes permanent, contract, and freelance recruitment, complemented by expert consultancy services that empower businesses to refine and optimise their direct hiring strategies. We take a solutions-first approach, tailoring recruitment strategies to each client’s unique needs, workflows, and the ever-evolving market landscape. This ensures the best outcomes, quickly. By focusing on the right candidates, freelancers, and contractors, we help businesses succeed while minimising the risk, cost, and disruption of a wrong hire. We have plenty of ways people can trust us: • Client and candidate feedback data, collected by a third party. • Testimonials and case studies to share, and some can be found on our website • Google reviews aplenty • Clients lined up who are happy to offer recommendations to anyone who would like hear what they have to say. We are looking forward to working with many more discerning businesses and candidates!
