MEET The AT TALENT TEAM

Adam Holt, Founder

After graduating university, Adam spent two years playing cricket in Australia before beginning his career in IT recruitment. Within just three years, he became the company’s top biller, demonstrating his ability to consistently deliver results. He then progressed into leadership, hiring and developing his own team while sharing first‑hand knowledge from his journey. At AT Talent, Adam guides experienced recruiters towards career growth, with a focus on Rec2Rec placements across the USA, particularly within New York. His proven track record in sales and recruitment makes him a trusted partner for agencies looking to scale, and professionals seeking their next move.

Outside of work, Adam enjoys cricket and golf, and can often be found in the Stretford End at Old Trafford, following his beloved Manchester United.

Chris Sanders, Principal Consultant

Chris brings a unique background to the world of recruitment. After travelling the world playing cricket (and plenty of golf), he transitioned from the sports field to the sales arena. Starting out as a Business Development Manager in IT, Chris later gained valuable delivery experience with leading recruitment firms Pareto and Randstad. As AT Talent’s very first hire, Chris now specialises in placing senior recruitment professionals across London and the  UK. His expertise lies in connecting experienced Recruitment consultants with top agencies. Outside of work, Chris remains passionate about cricket and golf, and you might find him piloting virtual aircraft on Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Lauren Shand, Recruitment Consultant

With experience teaching youth theatre and leading drama workshops in prisons, Lauren brings creativity, empathy, and strong communication skills to her role at AT Talent. Based in Manchester, Lauren is focused on strengthening connections across the UK recruitment industry, helping consultants find the right opportunities and agencies secure top talent. Her enthusiasm for relationship‑driven recruitment makes her a valuable partner for both clients and candidates.Lauren is training for a marathon, often spotted running through Manchester or unwinding in a yoga studio. A self‑confessed foodie, she’s always on the lookout for new restaurant recommendations to explore.

Holly Bryce, Recruitment Consultant

Holly brings a wealth of experience from events, hospitality, and sales to AT Talent. Having successfully run her own events business, worked in membership sales, and managed yacht charters in Ibiza, she has developed strong skills in relationship management and delivering exceptional service. Most recently as a Senior Host at Fenix restaurant in Manchester, she honed her ability to conn people and create memorable experiences. Now, she is excited to apply herself to Rec2Rec recruitment, helping candidates and clients across the UK find the perfect match. Her focus is on building long‑term partnerships and supporting professionals in the sales and recruitment sectors. Holly is passionate about yoga, wellbeing, travel, and music events, and she loves exploring new foodie spots.

David Durant, Senior Consultant

With over a decade of experience, David has successfully recruited both sales professionals and recruiters across the UK and internationally. His career began in Talent Acquisition, where he developed a deep understanding of hiring strategies, before transitioning back into agency recruitment to focus on Rec2Rec placements. At AT Talent, David specialises in connecting experienced recruitment consultants and leaders with high‑growth agencies in Manchester, London, and the US market. His expertise lies in building strong client partnerships and guiding candidates through career‑defining moves in the sales and recruitment sectors. When he’s not helping agencies scale their teams, you’ll likely find David on the Padel court, cheering for Manchester United, or enjoying time with friends over a well‑earned drink.
