“Be brave and say yes to things that feel uncomfortable.”     That mindset has taken Kimberley Shepherd from a live music internship to a decade-long career in tech. Today, she’s thriving as an IT Delivery Lead at the National Trust in what she describes as her dream role.   Kimberley didn’t take the traditional route; she has no computer science degree, no early tech background, and didn’t complete her master’s until her 30s.   However, through curiosity and courage, she has built a successful career in tech leadership on her terms.   In Steph Jackson's latest Women Rock blog, Kimberley shares:   ✅ How a single website project sparked a complete career pivot  ✅ The financial challenges she faced in breaking into the industry  ✅ Why leadership and delivery, not coding, are her superpowers    Her story is a powerful reminder that there’s no one-size-fits-all path into tech.   Dive into the full blog 📖 link in the comments 👇    #WomenRock #DiversityInTech #WomenInTech #NationalTrust #CareerGrowth

LET'S TALK GEN Z 💬 If Gen Z is the future of tech, isn't it a major problem that 75% of managers struggle to work with them? 😵💫 This isn’t some niche HR issue. It’s a full-blown generational shift in how people think, build, and work. 💭 85% of the tech workforce is now made up of millennials and Gen-Z. ⚖️ As of this year, there are more Gen-Z professionals than Baby Boomers. 💼 By 2030, they’ll account for 30% of the entire global workforce. Building a high-performing team is about SO much more than just who you hire. It’s about how ready you are to collaborate, adapt, and retain the talent that'll define your company’s next chapter. 🔑 Want the key to purpose-driven hiring?

Adaptability. Communication. Problem-solving. Collaboration. These skills are criminally underrated in the hiring process. The truth is: the right soft skills can deliver BIG rewards 🏆 Too many companies still cling to rigid, industry-specific experience as a hiring priority. But well-developed interpersonal abilities have never been more critical. We think it's time to shift the focus. Skills-based assessments can uncover potential far more effectively than a CV or “years of experience” ever could. It's no secret that diverse and versatile teams are often the most successful – a strategic shift to skills-first hiring could be EXACTLY what your recruitment process needs. 🌈 Check out our hiring tips and tricks: https://lnkd.in/gH-Z5jKr #Hiring #Impact #SR2 #Recruitment

“You’re too fluffy and too nice for recruitment.” It’s what  ★Samantha Miller★  kept hearing… But 5 years later? She’s still here. 💪 From part-time hours while raising little ones to consistently showing up and running TWO incredible community meet-ups, Sam proves you don’t have to fit the “typical recruiter” mould to succeed. So, of course, we had to ask her.... Why SR2? 💙 Let’s be honest – five years in any recruitment job is rare. So what’s kept her here this long? If you’re feeling a bit ‘meh’ in your current role, or thinking: “Surely there’s a better way to do recruitment...” Sam’s reason for staying might just be the reason you’re ready to move. #SR2 #WhyRecruitment #RecruitmentJobs #WeAreHiring
