Kirsten O'Neil

Said the following about Madeleine Phillips:

“Madeleine (Madi) is one of the most caring, attentive recruiters I have worked with. She takes pride in her work and always goes above and beyond for her candidates to ensure they have the best experience. This is demonstrated in some of the recent feedback she has recently received below.

Madi is very active on LinkedIn ensuring she brings the best candidates into the business. She always comes up with great ideas and new initiatives to help attract candidates to the rail industry.

Prior to this Madi worked within rail providing health and safety staff, train drivers and head office support roles, various other disciplines.

Madi is also very passionate about diversity and inclusion and is involved in projects promoting the rail industry as a great field to work in for women and other underrepresented groups.

I am nominating Madi for this award as I feel she is a great contributor to the rail industry, and she is responsible for recruiting some of the best people to work on rail projects.

Feedback from the Rail business – Not only is Madi highly efficient and effective in her role, she builds strong relationships with her stakeholders in the business - this allows her to really understand their aims and challenges and enables her to come up with innovative and practical solutions to help Managers achieve their resourcing goals. She has a bubbly and upbeat style that puts candidates at ease and makes her a pleasure to work with and has helped to make a big impact on our resourcing efforts.“
