Founder and Director - Lisa Gills

Hello, my name is Lisa

I'm Founder and Director at Wild Squirrel Recruitment. I started the consultancy in September 2020 after ten years recruiting talented candidates for some of the UK’s leading marketing departments, creative agencies, and brand consultancies.

I've built the consultancy around my own core principles of integrity, respect and commitment. Whether that's helping a client develop their team or working with a candidate to realise their maximum potential, I believe in the value of focusing on the long-game.

“At Wild Squirrel we love to find extraordinary planners and strategists who are the best cultural fit – those who want to contribute to the long-term growth and success of a business.”
