Sarah McKenna - Owner of Sarah McKenna HR Recruitment.
Right people. Right company. Right role.
Any business is only as good as its people, which is why Sarah McKenna HR is trusted by businesses to connect them with HR talent who not only have the right skills but truly fit their culture.
And now, Sarah is launching a new service designed to help businesses take control of their own recruitment process – creating a framework that represents their culture and brand.
Many of you reading this will have an HR department managing your hiring, or perhaps it’s something you oversee yourself. Either way, you’ll know that a great CV doesn’t always mean a great fit. It’s about reading beyond the CV.
That’s exactly what Sarah and her team do at Sarah McKenna HR.
“I’ve spent over 15 years in HR recruitment and have supported hundreds of businesses with their hiring,” says Sarah. “Over time, you develop a real instinct for what makes a great match and it’s never just about ticking boxes. The right person has to align with the culture and values of the business. It works both ways too: the role and company must be right for the candidate. If either side isn’t the right fit, it’s not sustainable and that costs time, money, and morale.”
Spend five minutes with Sarah and you’ll quickly see how passionate she is about what she does. Recruitment isn’t just a job to her; she knows every placement has a ripple effect on people and businesses alike. Getting it right really matters.
That’s why she and her team go beyond matching skills to ensure every candidate they recommend can thrive within their new environment.
And it’s this commitment to long-term success that’s inspired Sarah’s new Recruitment Review service – a practical, strategic way to help businesses strengthen how they recruit and retain talent.
“Over the past few years, many organisations have restructured or reduced headcount, leaving teams stretched and recruitment often rushed,” explains Sarah. “When a vacancy arises, there’s pressure to fill it quickly. But that’s when mistakes happen, because the wrong hire can be costly.
“Our Recruitment Review helps prevent that. We work with businesses to understand their current process, identify what’s working, and pinpoint areas to improve – whether that’s spotting internal talent ready to progress or refining how roles are advertised and managed.
“We help leaders and HR teams build a recruitment approach that feels consistent, inclusive, and aligned with their culture.
“That’s what our Recruitment Review is all about, helping businesses create a smoother, fairer, and more human recruitment process. It’s about having clarity and structure at every stage, so hiring decisions are confident, consistent, and focused on long-term fit rather than short-term fixes.”
Interested? You should be – because a Recruitment Review can transform how your business attracts, selects, and retains great people. It’s practical support that makes a measurable difference to your team and your bottom line.

Because every business really is only as good as its people.
