Values & Talent - Your Recruitment Partner
“Value-Led, people-first, recruitment done right.”
At Values & Talent, I do recruitment differently.
With a background in retail operations and Human Resources, I understand the importance of people, performance and building strong teams.
Having experienced the challenges businesses face when recruiting and managing people, I believe successful recruitment starts with understanding both the business and the individual.
I believe true success comes from individuals and organisations sharing a common foundation of values, vision and purpose.
That’s why I look beyond the CV to understand the person and the business beyond the role.
Meet the person behind Values & Talent
Charlotte Brealy | Founder & Director
I started Values & Talent from a genuine passion for people and a strong belief that recruitment should be done differently.
For me, it’s never just about filling a role. It’s about finding someone who truly fits within the organisation, the team and the culture. I look beyond the CV and have meaningful conversations with candidates to understand who they are, what motivates them and how they work.
My career has taken me through retail, HR and now recruitment, giving me a unique perspective on what businesses really need. As a Department Manager in retail, I experienced first-hand the pace, pressure and importance of having the right people in place. I saw how much of a difference the right team can make, not just to performance, but to the overall working environment.
Moving into HR gave me a deeper understanding of people, from employee relations and performance management to the full employee lifecycle. Working within a small business, I had the opportunity to hire individuals who truly aligned with company values, and that’s where my passion for recruitment really grew.
Now, I bring all of that experience together. I focus on more than just skills and experience. I look at mindset, values and long-term fit.
My goal is simple: to connect the right people with the right businesses, in the right way.
