She’s inspired by the range of people she gets to meet and loves keeping on top of a dynamic industry where things can change fast. Based in Ōtautahi/Christchurch\, Sally launched Scout Recruitment in August 2024 and recruits nationwide.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jeremy HillOriginally from Palmerston North\, Jeremy is now a proud Wellingtonian and loves New Zealand’s ‘big village’ culture where connections aren’t far away.

He joined Beyond Recruitment in 2022 and now leads the professional services (corporate and finance) specialisations\, which includes communications and marketing roles\, covering Wellington and the lower North Island. A lifelong Liverpool FC supporter\, Jeremy also has a passion for coffee – which pairs well with a job that gives him the perfect excuse to meet people for a chat.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lizi GuestIn 2018\, Lizi Guest founded regional PR agency Little & Loud as a single mum with no business experience.
