Taylor Hobbs

A good connection leads to a new career

Hello there! I'm Taylor, the guy at the top of the page with the awkward smile and the blue jumper. I’m originally from Surrey, but after graduating with my Computer Networks degree at the University of Portsmouth, I decided to deprive the south of my talents and move 600 miles north to Aberdeen. 

My plan at the time? “Think I’ll work in IT”. And while I may not be configuring servers, crawling under desks to plug-in computers that are ‘broken’, and turning computers off (and on again), I did stick to the plan and landed a job as an IT Recruitment Consultant, so I technically wasn’t wrong!

I'll be the first to admit, I'm a bit of a nerd. I play a lot of games, watch a lot of films, and have a strong interest in the world of technology. But that doesn't stop me from exploring the real world too. I'm a travel enthusiast, and a fan of old buildings, old churches, and nice views, which made Aberdeen seem a logical place to move to. 

So, if you're looking for an award-winning recruiter (People's Choice *cough cough*) and a guy that understands the technical talk your spouse doesn’t, look no further!

Taylor's opinion on ChatGPT:  AI is not new but tools like ChatGPT have catapulted the conversation around AI into everyday conversational chit-chat. Taylor argues (with a gentle sense of film-themed humour) that a greater understanding of these tools, rather than limiting their accessibility, is the key to empowering everyone.
