About Claudia Reeves

I'm a former agency recruiter turned careers writer with over a decade of experience in talent acquisition. After spending eight years placing candidates across financial services and tech in London and New York, I traded my ATS dashboard for a keyboard and never looked back. I specialize in the business side of recruitment, agency growth, client development, and the economics of the staffing industry. When I'm not writing, I'm probably overcomplicating my coffee order or convincing my greyhound, Noodle, that the sofa is not a bed.
