Senior Recruitment Consultant Head Office & Senior Operations
Natalia Giannetto
Over the past 12 years, I have sourced a variety of talent for a wide range of organisations. I’m passionate about honest, transparent and empathetic recruiting and always place my clients and candidates at the heart of what I do.
When I’m not at work I’m on a yoga mat, eating out or relaxing with my head in a book.
Senior Recruitment Consultant Head Office & Finance
Chris Comley
My 9 years’ experience has helped me understand how every position/person is unique and needs a bespoke personal, yet professional approach. It was clear that This is AFR shares my values, and it was for this reason I joined.
When I’m not at work, or planning my wedding, you’ll find me in the garden or reading.
Senior Recruitment Consultant Engineering UK & International
Peter Quinn
11 years as a recruiter has provided valuable experience, with an overview of patience, transparency, preparedness and almost always a sense of calm. Once I'd spoken to This is AFR about their approach and vision, I knew this was role for me.
In my spare time I like to walk the dog, cook, read, play golf, and follow space/astronomy.

Senior Recruitment Consultant Engineering & Life Sciences roles
Leo Cordingley
Hello! My name is Leo, and I am your dedicated recruiter with over 9 years of experience working in both agency and in-house roles. I have worked across diverse sectors, including Life Sciences, Engineering, Manufacturing, and IT, helping candidates find the perfect fit for their career goals and companies hire top talent.
I love my job because it allows me to make meaningful connections daily. Whether it's a candidate seeking a new challenge or a client searching for that perfect fit for their team, I find immense satisfaction in successfully matching amazing people with fantastic opportunities. To me, recruitment isn't just about filling vacancies—it's about building relationships and shaping careers.
Outside of work I love to go hiking and spending time with family and friends. I also love travelling and I’ve been lucky enough to have lived in several different countries and have recruited for clients in the UK and Ireland, North America and the Asia Pacific regions.
