MUSINGS ON REJECTIONS 💭
Date: 24 August 2026About once a week, I set aside time to go through and contact every single unsuccessful applicant. It’s not an activity that is exciting or brings us any revenue, and it isn’t always a quick task, either, but it is important that I do it. Gemma and I both do it, because not replying […]
We’re 15 years old today!
Date: 01 June 2026When Gemma left her corporate recruitment career to set up as an independent in 2011, she knew there had to be a better, fairer, less flingy way to recruit for her clients. It turns out that, 15 years later, she was right. Happy birthday, Horizon 💗
Hiya! It has been a while, hasn’t it?
Date: 03 March 2026We’ve been two very busy recruiters in the last year, but are finally taking some time to get back on the news writing pony.

Date: 13 August 2025Gemma began working with Walsham-Le-Willows-based Gas-elec Group in 2017 and has forged a strong working relationship with the business, and has since placed many candidates with them across multiple departments. The appointment of a new Head of HR, Michael Andrews, a few years ago, only strengthened the rapport, and Gemma was lucky enough to […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HORIZON
Date: 03 June 2024Unlucky for some, the number 13 feels good to us. Saturday 1st June marked 13 years of Horizon Search & Selection; quite the milestone to reach our teenage years as a business and bonkers because both Gemma and I remember the early days so well. It makes us feel quite old. Against the odds, we […]
AI in Recruitment. Revolutionary or Rash?
Date: 08 May 2024Using AI tools in recruitment is a real ‘thing’ at the moment, and we imagine it will be for the foreseeable future. For better or worse, though? Our gut instinct has always been to be wary of blindly using AI hiring tools – but then again, Gemma and I are pretty old school in our […]
