Holly Hunt (née Tattersall)
Founder & CEO
After 12 years in the industry becoming a thought leader and voice within the industry, including sitting on a number of boards and founding Women in Digital, Holly was growing increasingly frustrated with the quality of services and candidates that large recruitment agencies were providing.
As a passionate digital recruiter, career advisor, diversity advocate and entrepreneur, she knew that things could be done better. She wanted to carve out her own path in the world of recruitment, career and future-of-work and thus, Hunt & Co. was born. You can read our Founding Story here.
With a personal obsession for design and usability, she enjoys working with industry leaders to find their next step.
Fun facts About Holly:
- A new mum to little baby Olivia (a Hunt & Co. consultant in the making).
- An outdoor enthusiast with a budding green thumb, you’ll find her hiking, buying homewares or visiting family most weekends.
- Started the Women in Digital Awards national program in 2018.
