Hi, I'm Jess — a CIPD-qualified Recruitment VA with a background in recruitment, talent acquisition, HR and business support. After eight years in executive search and internal recruitment, I saw first-hand how much time recruiters, founders and hiring managers lose to the recruitment process and the admin that comes with it.
I started Mapped & Managed because I genuinely enjoy the detail and structure required to recruit and run a business well. For the people I work with, time is everything — and spending it on CV formatting, talent mapping or keeping job adverts up to date isn't always where it's best spent.
Whether you're a recruiter wanting to bill more, a business looking to grow your team without agency fees, or a founder who needs a reliable pair of hands behind the scenes, there's a way I can help.
I can support all elements of the recruitment process; writing job descriptions, advertising, updating CRMs, formatting CVs, talent mapping, developing SOPs and lead generation — as well as broader VA support including inbox and calendar management, process building and general business admin.
Pros: I appreciated the stability offered, especially in the current economic climate. The projects were often interesting, allowing me to apply my skills in the geospatial sector. Teamwork is generally strong, and colleagues are supportive, making daily work more enjoyable. It's a reliable employer in the data management space.
Cons: While job security is good, career progression can feel a bit unclear sometimes. There were moments where communication from leadership could have been more transparent regarding company direction. Workload can also get intense during peak project phases, impacting work-life balance momentarily.
Advice to Management: Focus on establishing clearer career ladders for employees and enhancing communication channels from senior leadership. Providing more visibility into future projects and company strategy would be beneficial for morale and planning.
