Celebrating Dale Owen’s Incredible First Year at We Do Group

Insights

Let’s take a moment to give Dale Owen some well-deserved recognition for an absolutely amazing first year at We Do Group! Apologies in advance, Dale—I know you’ll hate this attention, but you’ve more than earned it.

Since joining us, Dale has been nothing short of instrumental in shaping our journey. They say that your first few hires are critical to setting the tone, culture, and ethos of a company. Without a doubt, Dale has done just that (not that we’re surprised—we knew he would).

If you know Dale, you’ll understand exactly why he’s such a standout. He’s one of the most humble, intelligent, and down-to-earth recruiters working in the South of England. It’s this unique blend of qualities that makes him so enjoyable to work with, both for his colleagues and his clients.

What I love most about recruitment is that true success comes from being authentic. Dale lives and breathes this ethos—he listens more than he talks, and he really takes the time to understand his candidates. That’s why he excels, and it’s why people keep coming back to him.

In just the last 12 months, Dale has achieved his best-ever quarter, followed by his best-ever month in recruitment. This is incredible in any context, but especially for someone in their first year at a start-up—and let’s not forget his already impressive career achievements before joining us!

So if you don’t already know Dale, and you enjoy working with calm, bright, and humble people, he’s definitely the recruiter for you.

Dale, keep being the legend you are—a consummate podcast host, a sporting MVP, and an all-around superstar! Here’s to even bigger successes in the years to come.
