What I do

About Me

As an ambitious and career-driven recruitment consultant holding a CertRP certification, I bring a unique blend of skills with a foundation in software development. Known for my organizational prowess and reliability, I excel in managing multiple priorities with an unwaveringly positive attitude. I am deeply committed to team success, readily taking on additional responsibilities and proactively learning new skills on my own initiative to enhance my contribution to the team.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working within the Additive Manufacturing and Robotics industries across the UK, Europe, and US. I'm adept at sourcing and profiling candidates, building strong relationships with clients, and have a proven track record in conducting and coordinating successful video interviews. My skills in networking and communication have allowed me to excel in this field and make a positive impact in the industry.

Second Class Graduate

Throughout my studies at the University of Central Lancashire, I actively sought out opportunities to develop my leadership skills by participating in a program based in Cyprus. My dedication and hard work paid off as I received the highest marks for my project in the challenging Games Concepts module. I graduated with a 2nd class honors degree in Computer Games Development, a testament to my dedication and passion for the field.


Microsoft Accreditation

During my tenure at Microsoft, I was actively involved in the promotion of the 'Surface' range of devices and had the privilege of taking part in the launch of the widely popular Windows 10 operating system in July 2015. This opportunity required me to participate in an intensive training course at Microsoft's headquarters, which ultimately resulted in my accreditation.




LG Sales Executive

I was honored to work for LG Electronics for 5 years, where I put in a great effort to achieve and exceed sales targets. I am proud to have been the top salesman in the north region for LG's premium OLED TV's during the peak Christmas period 2 years running.


Singer/Rapper

I've always been passionate about music and began my journey by learning the Violin in primary school, then progressing to the keyboard in high school, and later teaching myself to play the Ukulele during my university studies. My degree served as a foundation and allowed me to continue pursuing my passion by writing, singing and producing music in my spare time.

BBStudio

I continue to pursue my passion for music by creating a home studio where I can record and produce my own compositions. Shortly after setting up this workspace, I established 'BBStudio', a business venture that rents out my equipment to local content creators at competitive rates.

Throughout the process, I was consistently impressed by Zak's knowledge on the development process, clear communication and his strong collaborative spirit. Specifically, Zak demonstrated his knowledge of the recruitment industry by outlining the specific niche in which Kensington Additive is recruiting talents. His ability to adapt to ideas and suggestions proved invaluable in the positive outcome for the project. These qualities, coupled with his positive personality traits, created a smooth and productive collaboration. Overall, I highly recommend Zak as recruitment consultant to anyone seeking a new job in the additive manufacturing industry. His collaborative spirit, clear communication, and strong understanding of the recruitment landscape make him an outstanding consultant.”

“Zak helped me a lot during my job search by suggesting a very interesting job position to me and guiding me through the company's recruitment process. I was approached by Zak when I was looking for a new job as a software developer. He suggested a very interesting job position that greatly matched my profile. Since it is quite common in my field to be approached by recruiters, I really appreciate being notified of an offer that actually aligns very well with my interests. Zak guided me through the recruitment process, and being able to discuss with an ally is very helpful in that sort of situation. I was given helpful pointers and tips, and had the opportunity to share updates and unpack things with him regularly via email or on the phone. Overall, I really appreciated the help and care, and I wish all head hunters were like this. Thank you for your help Zak.”

“Zak is exceptional at what he does! while we worked together we never missed any details in the interview process, we always kept in touch through emails, phone calls, left messages, our communication was direct and honest, Zak was always an advocate and negotiator, so that the (us) both parties came to a final agreement.”

 — Ivethe, Manufacturing Engineer | Candidate

“Zak and I connected while I was in the middle of a job hunt, and it was a blast from start to finish. He listened intently as I spoke about my previous job experience and future career goals, and quickly paired me with an engineering position I was very interested in. Although I ended up accepting an offer with a different firm, Zak made the process a breeze: vouched to the employers on my behalf, set up an interview time and date, and briefed me on the company and how I should prepare for the interview, not to mention he was extremely personable and cordial the whole time! Even if it is many years down the road, if my employment situation was to change and I am in need of a recruiter, Zak will definitely be one of the first people I reach out to. Keep up the great work!”

 — Kostadin, Embedded Systems Engineer | Candidate

“Throughout our collaboration, Zak demonstrated exceptional professionalism and proficiency in understanding our company's needs and the nuances of our industry. His interactions were fast and seamless, providing timely responses and assistance whenever required. Zak displayed a keen ability to identify highly qualified candidates swiftly, showcasing a deep understanding of our requirements. In fact, his efforts were so effective that we found ourselves presented with not one, but two exceptionally promising candidates.

Overall, an excellent experience with Zak and Kensington Additive: would fully recommend to anyone looking to pursue a new role or career within the Additive Manufacturing space - even outside of their own country.”

 — Leila, Sales Manager at 3D Spark | Candidate

“I had the pleasure of being recruited by Zak and I really appreciated his work. He found the perfect project and company for me when it wasn't easy, especially because of my location.
I worked as a consultant for a few years and have been in contact with many recruiters and HR managers and Zak may be the best I've met. He gets the job done, he has exceeded all my expectations, he is kind, he is available, he really cares about the person he is interviewing, he does his best to make sure everyone is satisfied, he tries to get feedback and he also provides honest feedback. I don't have any words to say how happy I am with the project he recruited me for.

As a recruiter, I would call his work perfect, but as a person, his kindness, honesty, and thoroughness are the reasons I have no doubt that he is the best recruiter I have ever met.
He is committed to getting the best for everyone he works with and it shows in his demeanor.”
