Hello!
I'm Katy Harwood, founder of Sunshine Recruitment Solutions. I've been successfully working in recruitment and employment since 2003 when I stumbled into my first recruitment role. I'd been looking for a job to make me happy, build a future and help others - recruitment fit the brief and hasn't let me down! Since then, despite years of being told by various managers that I'm 'too nice for recruitment' I've carved out a career that I'm immensely proud of. By staying true to my own recruitment style, I've personally placed hundreds of candidates into new roles and built a solid reputation on being an ethical, principled consultant. I genuinely care about the people and businesses I represent. Employers respond to my friendly, honest approach, they rely on me to find the staff they need because I take the time to understand their business. My professionals know that I always have their best interests at heart, and along with finding great opportunities, I also offer free support, from helping create an eye catching CV, to interview coaching and salary negotiation. I'm highly skilled at building strong networks of talented professionals who want me to represent them and I build lasting networks of engaged employers who trust me with their most important task, finding staff. |

Since my first days as a graduate consultant at Faststream Recruitment, I've gained a wealth of experience recruiting across the private, public sector and third sector, placing a diverse cross section of skilled individuals into new roles, from Civil Engineers and Care Workers, to Head Chefs and Accountants. By following tried and tested industry methods and, using the Institute of Recruitment Professionals as my guide, I successfully recruit for senior executive level and entry level positions, dependant on the needs of my clients.
My approach has consistently worked for international corporate clients and small local businesses alike, and in the last 7 years I was the driving force behind another recruitment agency / jobsite which was based near my home on the Isle of Wight, IOW Jobs Recruitment went from strength to strength under my guidance, and by the time I left to pursue my own dreams and launch Sunshine Recruitment Solutions it was a flourishing local brand that I was incredibly proud of building.
I am dedicated to being an ambassador for the recruitment industry and, along with being a Fellow of the Institute of Recruitment Professionals I have also completed my Diploma in Recruitment Practice. As a proud Mum to two fabulous daughters, I am very family focused and well aware of the challenges facing working parents. Whilst ethics have always been at the heart of what I do, becoming a parent has only hardened my resolve to uphold principles of equality and integrity. I am dedicated to ensuring that everyone is viewed for work opportunity based on skill, and I am an ambassador for equality in the work place. I am raising my daughters to stand up for what is right, and understand that they can achieve anything if they just focus and work hard, so I must lead by example.
I have been lucky enough to find a job that I love and it has given me that ever elusive work-life balance, now I want to help others find the same joy in their careers. With Sunshine Recruitment Solutions, I hope I can help you achieve your goals!

" Katy was a pleasure to work with during my transition to a company she represented. She was extremely diligent, thorough and easy to reach throughout the process, always responding positively in each segment of my interview which ultimately resulted in a successful transfer. Katy has a wonderful way of making you feel relaxed and reassured in what would otherwise be a stressful and anxious time, she is a credit to any working establishment and has my full recommendation.
