If one of us succeeds, we all succeed and then we celebrate!
Dene
1. What’s your job title? My job title is Graduate/Associate Recruitment Consultant – also known as the Quiz Master. I joined IntaPeople following university and entered recruitment from scratch, with no prior experience. I have learnt everything I know in recruitment through IntaPeople’s training program and the mentorship of senior members of the team
2. Are you a sports fan? Who are your favourite teams? I am an English Manchester United fan, so I am pretty used to being hated by most sports fans haha. My favourites from other sports include Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Israel Adesanya, Michael Bisping, Ben Stokes, Judd Trump, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Max Verstappen, Usain Bolt, Phil Taylor, Johnny Wilkinson. Absolute GOATs
3. What’s your favourite movie? I am a Star Wars geek – if someone had a gun to my head, I would pick Revenge of the Sith. However, I like all of them; apart from the sequels – I push them to the back of my brain and forget they ever existed lol
4. Who do you look up to within the company? At IntaPeople, I look up to Arran, because he started in the same position as me and has earned his position in the company. This shows me the opportunity to progress and be successful at IntaPeople
5. If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be? I would not change anything about my life. As long as I’m alive, happy days. “If you’re always happy at the present moment, you’re always going to be happy” – Dene Field-Dawson, 2022
6. What’s the one thing that has surprised you about joining IntaPeople? The people and management. I was surprised by how positive the team is and how helpful everyone is. I was expecting a more ‘serious’ (for lack of a better word) working environment, with an angry, stressed boss breathing down my throat. But, at IntaPeople, everyone helps each other and the team is always smiling

5. Do you have any phobias? Everyone seems to think that it’s just a fear of holes, but it’s bumpy textures for me. Gives me a tight chest and makes my skin crawl
6. Why did you choose IntaPeople to start your career in recruitment? Because a wonderful woman named Donáh reached out to me whilst I was in an awful job, desperate for a career change for the sake of my mental health. I’ve always wanted to get into recruitment, and it couldn’t really have come at a better time for me. I didn’t actively seek out IntaPeople, but I’m glad I chose to begin my career with them as I’ve never enjoyed a job so much as this
