Sarah Want

Team Manager

Background

Originally from a food retail background, Sarah was responsible for recruitment and compliance at the Stamford Waitrose branch. She started recruiting in Agriculture and Horticulture when she joined MorePeople and found a real passion for the industry. She is NVQ Level 3 qualified in recruitment and loves chatting with passionate industry professionals.

Sarah is also on the YPHA committee, a group to unite the under 35's in Horticulture. The committee focus on providing networking opportunities, furthering education and getting more young people into the industry by showcasing the great opportunities there are!

Role at MorePeople

Sarah joined MorePeople in 2019 and now manages the Horticulture and Agriculture team for all roles within that space from growers, breeders, trial officers, farmers and agronomists from graduate level to director level. A keen advocate for getting young people into the industry, you’ll see Sarah at many trade shows across the year and taking part in panel talks and university speeches.

An interesting fact about Sarah...

Sarah has raised over £3,000 for a small NGO and spent two months volunteering with them in Ghana. On her first trip she witnessed a village with no electricity in their homes have their first street light turned on and villagers of all ages dancing underneath it! She has recently seen some of the children she taught at summer school finish secondary school and go down the university route

    ​For me and the team at Biobest UK, we really appreciate the down-to-earth approach. Whether that’s general communication or confirming job specifications. We are the specialists in Bugs and IPM, MorePeople are the specialists in People and Jobs! They know their sphere and Sarah has, taken to the time to understand our business, our needs, our ethos, and the candidate’s selection reflects this. This means we can as a business concentrate on what we do best. That’s why we work with Sarah and the team at MorePeople.

    I am incredibly grateful for the support that Sarah provided during my post-graduate search for employment within the horticulture industry. From the very beginning, Sarah was not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally friendly and approachable, maintaining regular contact and providing frequent updates on available opportunities. After taking the time to understand my personal career goals and finding the perfect role for me, Sarah was then able to provide invaluable guidance regarding the interview process helping me to secure the role. Sarah's dedication and positive attitude made the entire process much more manageable, and her encouragement was a constant source of motivation. Thank you, Sarah!

    "​Sarah is simply a saint! I left a well-paid job to go to work for a company closer to home, They promised me my dream role. The job for life I had been waiting for. To find out after passing my probation I was let go with no explanation on the spot. I reached out to Sarah and she made it her mission to help me. Within a day I had four jobs sent to me in my local area but being 38 years of age I was still looking for a job for life. Two weeks later, Sarah found me a position, not just a job for life but a role I couldn’t even dream about being in, at a company who is a highly rated employer. Sarah is extremely professional, hard working and friendly and always keeping you in the loop. She called last week with the offer. Her work improved our financial position and allowed us to go on holiday for the first time in years. I owe Sarah the world! She is a true asset to MorePeople, thank you again."

    ​I just wanted to say how impressed I have been with your team throughout this process. We were on a tight timescale but they managed the process from both ends with a perfect balance of pressure, emotional intelligence, and highly effective communication. All parties knew where we were and what was required of us at every stage of the process, with no time wasting and delivered in a professional and concise way, which is exactly how we like to do business. We are delighted with the result and have an excellent future member of the senior management team, the service was exactly as you said it would be!

    ​​I worked with Sarah for the first time on what was a tricky enough brief. It has been a long time since I collaborated with a recruiter that really understood the brief, quickly created a shortlist of high calibre candidates that were all on spec, and led to an offer being made in less than six weeks start to finish. A truly outstanding result from an exceptional recruitment professional.
