I mean, money talks, money matters, people care about it.

And it's often a sensitive subject.

You know, people are worried necessarily to ask for more or achieve what they believe they want.

And you're going to help guide us here.

So welcome.

Thank you for coming in all the way from Bristol to talk to me this morning.

So what should someone be thinking about when they're applying for a job and they're thinking, what am I worth?

What sort of salary?

might I achieve here?

Well, you said a lot there that I'd quite like to sort of just sort of start to investigate.

So take the emotion out of it.

I mean, that's easy to say and often hard to do.

How do you do that to start with?

What can you actually do?

So you as a recruiter who's been in the market for two decades has a lot of information at your fingertips.

Just a little bit.

Which you're using, hopefully, helpfully.

So, I mean, it seems self-serving, it is.

But for a candidate to have a recruiter alongside them is actually very helpful in these discussions with a potential employer.

So a good ally.
