Fiona Joyce

Associate Partner

​Fiona joined Alternatives in 2025 as an Associate Partner, bringing with her, over ten years of recruitment experience. Previously, Fiona led the Office Support recruitment division within another major agency, so joined Alternatives with excellent experience working with candidates of all experience levels (entry level up to senior leadership), working with a "people-first" approach, which ensures the right fit for all sides, every time. Fiona has experience account managing and recruiting for clients ranging from charitable organisations, public bodies, SMEs, membership, training and accreditation bodies, to multinationals and major tech firms. Many of Fiona's contacts have continued to partner with her, as they moved between clients themselves, demonstrating Fiona's dedication to her people and client relationships.

Fiona is also highly focused on all things compliance and GDPR, ensuring that all processes and documentation are always expertly managed and in order, to support all recruitment agreements and campaigns.

As an experienced Temp Controller, Fiona is adept at supplying temporary staff to all clients as needed, often at very short notice. Fiona constantly manages a large roster of live temps and meets all her candidates before they are on site. Fiona has worked on multiple recruitment campaigns in her tenure, which have required supplying a high volume of temporary staff to support large-scale client projects, often turned around in only days. Fiona manages more senior and bespoke temp campaigns also, with great success.

With an excellent reputation across her clients and candidates, Fiona has been known to work with a very high number of referrals and always welcomes introductions through word of mouth.

Fiona completed the Employment Recruitment Federation's Recruitment Excellence Programme in 2015, and was awarded Graduate of the Year. In 2023, Fiona was shortlisted for "ERF Temp Recruiter of the Year", and has also had her recruitment-based writing published in the Sunday Business Post.
