MR Recruiter Hasson Associates Hires Two

UK-based market research staff recruitment specialist Hasson Associates has appointed Stephanie Richards as a Senior Associate and Alex Giurgiu as an Associate.

Central London-based, Hasson Associates was established in January 2008 by former pricejamieson and RPCushing manager Sinead Hasson.

Richards joins with more than eighteen years' research and recruitment experience. Most recently, she worked as a Resourcing Consultant at the London Borough of Camden, before which she ran her own recruitment firm Phoenix Consulting, served as a Media Consultant at Elizabeth Norman Media, and was Research & Strategy Manager at Telegraph Group Ltd. At Hasson Associates, she will recruit for mid- and senior level research, insight and strategy positions at companies ranging from boutique consultancies to international research agencies and global brands.

Giurgiu joins after nearly two years as a Market Research Recruitment Consultant at Sue Hill Recruitment, and having worked as a Social Media Recruitment Researcher at Partnerships in Care. In her new role, which encompasses business development and account management, she will support some of Hasson Associates' key account teams.

Sinead Hasson comments: 'Last year we saw a sharp increase in demand for new research and insight candidates, as brands tried to understand new trends in customer behaviour. In response, we added several new team members. And as this trend shows no signs of abating, we needed to expand both our personnel and our experience base, with precisely the kind of skills that Alex and Stephanie have brought.'
