Nicola Furlong

Said the following about Ossie Phipps:

“Ossie,

What can I say. He works extremely hard often under pressure for internal recruitment and working with Procurement to engage consultants.

He has a great personality and is very approachable.

He has an awful lot going on outside of work in his personal life but never lets this encroach on his professional day to day work life.

Go Ossie.“

Aina Boville

Said the following about Ossie Phipps:

“I nominate Ossie , he is extremely hard working ,focused results driven and a fantastic communicator.“

Kimberley Hoptroff

Said the following about Ossie Phipps:

“Ossie is a valued member of the HR/Recruitment team and along with the HR/Recruitment Administrator has streamlined a lot of processes and quickly built up relationships and trust with sometimes complex hiring managers.

When Ossie started, there were a lot of open positions within the project and along with the other recruiter on the team, reduced these by two thirds through his experienced recruitment knowledge and approach. At the end of 2016, the other recruiter left the team but this has not fazed Ossie and has continued to perform outstandingly.

I work within the same time and he is a pleasure to work with and despite some difficult personal circumstances, he has remained professional and positive at all times and continues to make sure that the job gets done.

Ossie should win this category to receive the recognition he deserves from working on the often challenging Crossrail ATC joint venture.“

Cameron Summers

Said the following about Ossie Phipps:

“Ossie is one of the best internal recruiters I have worked with – he has a good understanding of the industry, remains professional and easy to work with despite being under pressure and has worked hard to provide an efficient recruitment service to ATC since joining the JV.

He has taken full ownership of the recruitment on ATC and developed strong relationships with hiring managers across multiple sites, often finding rail candidates whose skill sets are very difficult to source.

Ossie is a team-player, personable and someone who thrives when faced with challenges.“

Nahum Evans

Said the following about Ossie Phipps:

“Ossie is a great guy and a brilliant recruiter.

He has an excellent knowledge of the construction/engineering sector which enables him to find the right people. Ossie is a people-person, really easy to get on with and always approachable. He has developed excellent relationships with his stakeholders and colleagues and is a valued member of the recruitment team.“

Martin Furlong

Said the following about Ossie Phipps:

“I have worked with Ossie for a short time, but during this time and from our first meeting I felt "this guy is someone who knows what he is talking about". Great recruiter, knowledgeable and always seems so chilled out.“

Grant Forbes

Said the following about Ossie Phipps:

““Who would NOT want Ossie?”

If I was going to WAR, I would definitely have Ossie alongside me first. You can feel his self-confidence from 10 feet away from him.

He is a symbol of self-confidence and unflappable almost every day.

He is extremity dignified and is proud of his history…that is clear to me.

What a guy!“

Sophie Lupton

Said the following about Ossie Phipps:

“Ossie has done incredible work on ATC since joining as our Internal Recruiter.

We both joined the ATC HR Team around the same time last year and it has been a pleasure working alongside him.

He knows how to stay professional under all circumstances and how to get the job done!

His efforts don't go unnoticed.

Go Ossie!“
