Meet Marc

Marc Smith

Director

We know Marc as the 'ideas man'. He's a forward-thinking kind of chap, always wanting to keep Top Job on the front foot, especially when it comes to offering a better service for our clients or making it easy for our team to do their job well.
Marc has been involved with the business since 2011, where he took an ownership stake in one of Colchester's favourite recruitment agencies. Since then he has seen it through the recession and on to bigger and brighter futures. Nine years in, and Marc still loves working alongside local companies, getting to know the people involved and how he can best help them to achieve their goals through partnership.

Meet Corrie

Corrie Brennan

Division Manager 

Corrie joined us in 2016 and has experience dealing with compliance in the city's healthcare recruitment industry.

Corrie finds fulfilment in his job since it allows him to work every day to improve someone's life.

What motivates him is the knowledge that he connects people with the means of covering expenses like rent, Christmas, or putting food on the table.

Corrie primarily works with industrial clients and prospects while concentrating solely on our temporary labour.

Your industrial workforce will be more robust than ever thanks to joint collaboration with Chloe Stephenson and Lauren Sparling.

Meet Sasha

Sasha Fowler

Senior Recruitment Consultant - Commercial Division

Sasha brings with her extensive experience of recruiting in the office sector and we're delighted to have her as part of the team. We pride ourselves on the value that experience and different approaches can bring. She joined us from a global recruitment organisation, and she can't wait to work in a smaller environment, where her ideas and creativity can be given space and life in a team that has real passion and drive for doing the job well.
Whilst we already 'do office staff', Sasha’s understanding of office dynamics will enable us to make even better matches. Her approach is to truly understand the team fit, knowing how much impact the right or wrong person can have in an office space, from a social and business perspective. Top Job's bespoke approach will allow her to spend the time she wants, getting to know each client and candidate in order to get the fit exactly right. That way, people tend to stay in post and grow into the new teams. She hopes that new vacancies are created by their promotion rather than people leaving because they aren’t happy!
An office team is vital to the success of any business, requiring teamwork that promotes hard work and loyalty. You need to ensure that new additions to a team fit in with the business and colleagues which often mirrors the success of the business. I feel that close knit relationships motivate employees and align them to work harder, cooperate and be supportive of one another. My specialism is finding the perfect match for the business and the individual to promote growth and progression for both parties. Her old slogan was "Don't let your recruitment be risky; choose Sasha Comiskey!" We just know she'll live up to it!
