​Vallum Associates is excited to announce the joining of Paul Smith as our new Managing Director. With over 15 years of experience in the recruitment industry, Paul’s expertise and goal-oriented mindset position him as an ideal leader to guide our sales team into its next phase of growth and success.

Paul shares his thoughts on joining: " Vallum provides cutting-edge staffing solutions to leading companies worldwide, combining industry expertise with exceptional service to tackle client challenges and deliver real value. The business has seen remarkable growth since its inception, and I’m excited to build on that by targeting 100% growth in 2025. This will involve hiring outstanding talent at all levels, aligning with our customer strategy, and strengthening our presence in key markets. The energy here is incredible, and there’s no better time to be part of Vallum as we #venturefurther”

Paul has consistently demonstrated strong leadership in managing sales teams and achieving significant results. Specialising in global talent challenges, he has shown to provide tailored talent solutions and consulting services that create lasting value for clients.

As Managing Director, Paul will ensure the continued success of outstanding services to clients and partners, while creating an environment of growth and collaboration within the team. He adds, “For me the basics of recruitment will never change, it will always be a people industry. The phrase “people buy from people” couldn’t be more appropriate in the modern world. Despite all the tools and technology available nothing can compare to a face-to-face meeting with a client or candidate to nurture a relationship.”

We warmly welcome Paul Smith to Vallum Associates and look forward to his future achievements.
