Darren Sartain
An experienced hospitality recruiter with 5 years experience of high volume and fast paced recruitment within the industry. After joining a national recruitment agency and studying for a diploma in recruitment, I ran a busy desk across Norfolk , Suffolk and Cambridge, recruiting for large local establishments and smaller boutique businesses in the region. In 2021, I joined Parkdean Resorts as a Talent partner to recruit on the East Coast.
I spend my workdays working from my home in Norwich, or across one of our parks in the region.
