A Boutique Recruiter with a big heart

About Us

Why We Love What We Do

Bernadette’s genuine passion for recruitment and her dedication to leaving no stone unturned are at the heart of Breakthrough Recruitment’s success.

Since 2008, she has driven the business forward with care, curiosity and a commitment to doing things the right way. With over 30 years’ experience in HR and Recruitment, Bernadette is known for truly caring about the people she works with, taking the time to understand their needs, motivations and aspirations. Her mission is simple: to create real success stories by connecting people with opportunities that positively shape their lives and businesses.

“Recruitment is far more than matching skills to a job description. It’s about people, potential and possibility. We are privileged to support candidates as they take the next step in their careers, and to help clients find the talent who will make a meaningful difference to their business. For us, it’s personal, we build relationships based on trust, honesty and care, designed to stand the test of time.”
