Why Work With Jayne?

Over almost 40 years, Jayne has successfully supported all sizes of business across multiple sectors in identifying and securing senior and executive-level talent. Whether that’s been corporates needing ongoing recruitment or SMEs engaging their first employee – Jayne applies the same guiding principles to them all.

Based in Oxfordshire, Jayne’s focus is not simply on filling vacancies, but on finding people who will genuinely add value and contribute to long-term organisational success. Jayne doesn’t specialise in a particular sector; she specialises in finding the right people for your business.

What sets Jayne apart is her ability to combine extensive industry expertise with a modern, technology-led approach. She uses the latest tools (such as LogicMelon CRM and ATS), including AI and data-driven insights, while maintaining a strong focus on relationships, culture, and understanding the unique needs of each client. And she was the first UK recruiter to become accredited with the profiling tool Talent Dynamics.

Beyond her professional expertise, Jayne is fun and easy to work with, brings warmth and humour to every client and candidate relationship and loves her work. People who work with her say she’s professional, knowledgeable, kind, decent and someone who treats everyone with respect.

What this means for you is a much easier recruitment process and a high success rate of securing the best person for the job, giving you peace of mind and time to focus on what you do best.

Tansy Baxter, Operations Support Manager

Since joining Better People in 2025, Tansy has worked closely alongside Jayne to keep the business running smoothly behind the scenes — from polished documentation and presentations to website updates and newsletters.

She brings a broad background in administrative support and business operations across a range of industries, and has a knack for turning ideas and information into clear, professional materials — whether that’s designing in Canva, managing website content, building presentations, or writing and sending newsletters and email campaigns via Moosend.

Tansy is calm, organised and easy to work with, and takes pride in creating the kind of steady, reliable systems that let Jayne focus on what she does best: finding the right people for the right businesses.

She lives in Aylesbury and was introduced to Jayne through local business networking.
