Sara Tehrani
Account Director
My background
I joined VMAGROUP in 2013 as a researcher and have progressed to the role of Managing Consultant, leading the UK Permanent Internal Communications team.
Having completed a degree in English and Communications, I have found specialising in a specific area has really supported me in truly understanding our clients and candidates' needs. I pride myself in really understanding the challenges that can come with recruitment, and ensuring our clients and candidates receive an experience befitting of their individual requirements.
In addition to guiding our clients and candidates on developments in the industry, I keep my knowledge up to date through my membership with the Institute of Internal Communications and running a busy events calendar throughout the year. I also sit on the board of CIPR Inside.
My specialisms
Having built up a network of loyal clients and excellent communications professionals, I now work on a wide range of opportunities across a range of sectors, helping clients who are looking for the best senior talent across internal and change communications and for candidates who are looking for their next career challenge.
My recent projects
Some of the roles I have recently filled in the UK include:
Head of Internal Communications and an Insurance Company
Senior Internal Manager at a Retail Company
Internal Communications Manager at a Banking Company
What my clients and candidates have said about me
Candidate
"Sara takes the time to understand candidate’s aspirations and makes the effort to locate the right role in the sea of positions out there. I find Sara really lovely to work with, she is committed to keep the candidate informed throughout the process and has a very positive attitude. A great asset for VMA and for candidates out there looking to make the next step."
- Senior Internal Communications Manager at a Professional Services Company
"Unlike many other recruiters, Sara and VMA as a whole don't place you just to fill a quota; they place you into roles where they see a long term future and that's a win for you and the employer. I would recommended her to anyone and everyone who is looking for a recruiter at the top of their game."
