Garry's Shortlist
I'm super excited to introduce my podcast, Garry’s Shortlist! As the CEO of OneStart, I hire talent for the construction industry. I haven’t always been in recruitment. Prior to One Start, I was the Executive Head of Safety at a construction company.A lot of people have asked me, why’d I take the leap? The reason really came down to this - It made sense.I love listening and chatting to people, and working in recruitment gives me the opportunity to do that every single day. The podcast was born because I really wanted to share the conversations I was having with the incredible people I met. I hoped their stories would inspire others in the way they have inspired me. If you’re a Construction Professional and you’ve got a story to share, I’d love to hear from you!Cheers,Gaz
