Taylor Hobbs

A good connection leads to a new career

Taylor was working as a systems engineer when he registered with us as a candidate. Feeling it was time for a change his regular communications with our IT recruiter, Colin McKay, led to a complete career change as the two began to realise there were synergies in what they were looking for.

Having previously considered a career in recruitment, Taylor was elated to throw himself into this role and is now supporting Colin grow our IT specialism.

Originally from Surrey, Taylor moved to Aberdeen in mid-2021. He studied at the University of Portsmouth obtaining a degree in Computer Networks but, somewhere along the way, realised that he enjoys working with people much more than working with computers.

He's a self-confessed nerd though and is in a happy place watching films and gaming, which means he's also very familiar with eye rolls from his partner. A large part of his reason for moving to Aberdeenshire is that he really appreciates the outdoors and exploration. A love for being active is a useful antidote to another serious interest - eating good food, these two pursuits are at constant odds, battling it out on his waistline.
