Emma Whitting

Originally born on the Devon coast, UK, Emma moved to Melbourne to see more of the world (and more sun!) in early 2020.

Having graduated with a Media degree at university, Emma left her career in retail sales in 2015 to become a Recruitment Consultant for one of the top marketing recruitment agencies in Bristol. Here she was able to combine her love for marketing and customer service.

Many years later, she’s still as passionate as ever and now leads our Marketing and Digital recruitment team at Miller Leith. Emma prides herself on delivering a people-focused approach in her recruitment style and values, which places a heavy emphasis on relationships, honesty and really understanding a company’s brand and culture.

Away from her day job, Emma’s a big fan of all thing’s food-related, is an avid moviegoer and enjoys a good pub quiz with friends.

What is important to you?

Aside from the happiness of those closest to me – I love to travel, discovering new music and a good cup of tea!

What is something quirky about you?

I’m a bit of a geek at heart, and have probably watched the Lord of The Rings trilogy far too many times. My family’s originally from Cornwall, so I love a good Cornish Pasty.

What is it about the recruitment industry that motivates you?

I love working with creative, similar minded people and recruiting for such a diverse range of brands. Being a people person, I also really enjoy the social aspect of helping marketing professionals on a day to day. And the rewarding feeling of partnering a great brand with serious talent!

My teammates would describe me as…

Hard-working, loyal, lots of energy and a little bit of a stereo jacker!
