In a move that reflects a gradual resurgence in the demand for talented HR professionals across all sectors in the UK, Digby Morgan, the UK’s leading specialist HR search and selection consultancy, has made two senior and strategic appointments in its London head office.

Danielle Huber joins Digby Morgan as a consultant in the company’s interim appointments team. Prior to joining Digby Morgan, Danielle spent five years with Hudson’s Executive HR teams in Sydney, Dubai and, latterly, in London. Danielle has worked across a range of industries in all of these regions including financial services, energy and utilities, transport and infrastructure and the public sector.

Commenting on her appointment, Danielle said: "Having spent some years in the HR recruitment sector in Australia, the Middle East and Europe, I’m genuinely excited to be joining what is undoubtedly the market leader in all three of those regions.”

Michael Semark is the second of the new senior appointments and joins Digby Morgan's London office as a senior consultant in the company’s permanent hires team.

Michael has spent nearly 20 years in recruitment with a focus on the HR space over the last ten years. Having enjoyed a successful career with both Michael Page and the Hudson Group, he set up his own practice, People Matter, focussing on HR recruitment and ran this business for five years developing a strong reputation for service orientated HR recruitment.

Digby Morgan’s founder and CEO, John Maxted, is, understandably, delighted with these new senior hires and the prospects for 2010.

“We’ve spent more than two decades growing Digby Morgan into one of the largest specialist consultancies of its kind and I’ve never experienced trading conditions for the recruitment sector as tough as they have been over the course of the last 18 months. However, we’re definitely now seeing a gradual and cautious return of some confidence in the HR recruitment sector and, although we expect it to continue to be a challenging year ahead, we are continuing to invest in our own talent. With that in mind, I’m delighted to welcome these two highly experienced consultants to our ranks and look forward to working with them in 2010 and beyond.”
