HENRY LLOYD

In my role at Digital Garage, I specialise in software engineering recruitment by working with a range of professionals to advance their careers in tech. I use data driven strategies and digital tools to identify top talent and align their unique skills with opportunities that cover various aspects of software development.

My approach is consultative and strategic, offering career guidance that draws on industry insights and market trends. By staying at the forefront of technology and recruitment best practices, I ensure that candidates are well prepared to excel in high growth environments.

Contributing to Digital Garage’s overall success, including recognition in the Deloitte Fast 50, I have a real focus on building long term relationships and delivering personalised advice that empowers professionals to reach their full potential.

Specialising in IT recruitment, I successfully placed candidates across intermediate to senior leadership roles, including lead, management, and head of positions. My experience covered both contract and permanent placements, recruiting for a wide range of IT roles such as developers, engineers, testers, product owners, business analysts, IT managers, security consultants, architects, and analysts.

I built targeted candidate pools through strategic job advertisements, proactive sourcing, and Boolean search techniques. By evaluating applicant credentials, conducting initial interviews, and managing pre-screening assessments, I ensured high quality placements aligned with client needs. I also handled reference checks, employment verifications, and candidate negotiations to facilitate a smooth hiring processes.

With a key focus on relationship building and account management, I worked closely with hiring teams and HR representatives to develop tailored recruitment strategies. I managed applicant tracking systems, optimised candidate pipelines, and maintained clear communication with applicants to improve the overall recruitment experience.

As the first employee at Markham Motors, I played a key role in growing the business from 15 vehicles to over 70 across two locations. Beyond selling cars, I contributed to the dealership’s expansion, helped establish operational processes, and drove customer acquisition efforts.

In sales, I specialised in matching buyers with the right vehicles by understanding their needs, overcoming objections, and guiding them through financing options. I developed a trust based approach, aiming to create a smooth buying experience. My ability to negotiate effectively and offer personalised solutions led to a high percentage of repeat business and referrals.

With a real focus on customer satisfaction, I actively followed up with leads, provided after-sales support, and sourced hard to find vehicles to meet specific requests. Additionally, I worked on pricing strategies and promotional campaigns, ensuring our inventory remained competitive in the market.

I also took ownership of lead generation and outreach, proactively engaging with potential buyers through phone, email, and social media marketing. My efforts contributed to increased dealership visibility and a steady flow of inbound inquiries.
