What Ashley can do
End-to-end support -
or just the bits you need.
Job spec writing
From a rough brief to a fully written job description that attracts the right people and sets clear expectations from day one.
Managing agencies
Ashley handles the briefs, fees, SLAs and relationship oversight, so you get the best from external recruiters without the headache.
Direct applications
Screening, shortlisting and candidate communication, taking the volume off your plate so only the right people reach you.
Interview management
Coordination, panel support and manager coaching to make your interviews sharper, fairer and more effective at spotting great talent.
Salary benchmarking
Competitive research that ensures your packages attract the right candidates without overpaying or pricing yourself out of the market.
Onboarding support
Building the processes and frameworks that set new starters up for success and reduce early attrition.
Ways to work together
Pick the level of support
that fits your business.
Short, focused support
One-off project
A single campaign, a problematic role or a specific process you need help with. Ashley comes in, gets it done and hands it back.
Regular, embedded partnership
Ongoing support
Regular weekly or monthly input, acting as your part-time Head of Talent without the full-time salary. Flexible and built around your hiring rhythm.
Long-term transformation
Build & hand over
A longer engagement designed to build a fully functioning internal recruitment capability, then hand it back to your team to run independently.
A real example
A year in the making -
built to last.
One client engaged Ashley for a full year to manage their recruitment end-to-end while they built out their team. Ashley ran every part of the process, from writing specs and managing applications to coordinating interviews and handling offers, all on an hourly rate.
By the end of the engagement, the internal team had the tools, the processes and the confidence to hire independently. That was always the plan. Ashley's job is to make herself unnecessary.

Client testimonials
What businesses say.
We’ve really enjoyed working with Ashley at Pineapple Careers, who has helped us successfully recruit two new team members over the past six months. The whole experience has been incredibly professional, efficient and seamless from start to finish.
What we’ve particularly appreciated is the time Ashley has taken to understand our business, the roles we’re recruiting for and the type of person who would be a good fit for our team. The candidates she has put forward have always been well-vetted and genuinely relevant, which has made the recruitment process so much easier for us.
Communication has been excellent throughout - always friendly, responsive and proactive - and both vacancies were filled quickly and successfully. It’s been a real pleasure working with Ashley and Pineapple Careers, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other businesses looking for a reliable and professional recruitment partner.
