INTRODUCING...

  • I recruit for both permanent and interim contracts, for major corporations as well as smaller niche brands.
  • Interim Cosmetics Limited was founded in 2002 after a long and enjoyable career in the Sales and Beauty Industry.
  • During my career I progressed from F.M.C.G. at Spillers Pet foods, Gillette and Unilever to luxury consumer goods with Yves Saint Laurent, Coty Prestige, in a variety of Commercial Sales Management capacities.
  • It is this experience, which gives Interim Cosmetics the cutting edge above other recruiters.  I have first hand experience of the skills required for each role, as well as a genuine understanding of the difference in working styles and cultures for each of my valued clients.

I chose to launch a recruiting consultancy because I saw a gap in this sector, and genuinely enjoy mentoring my candidates on work life & career choices, as well as  sharing insights with clients on the latest work styles and industry recruitment trends, on salaries, diversification of job roles etc..

Alli is a brilliant recruiter once she decides to get you a job. She works harder and makes sure that she gets the right job for you. She is very caring and kind.

Jipsi Amin
Account Manager at NAOS (Bioderma - Institut Esthederm - Etat Pur)
Alli came through for me in a time where I was making a career change and struggling to have any recruiter take much time or effort to help me in my search. Corona times have been tough times but it only takes one to recognise your potential and give you a chance. Very appreciative for Alli doing that for me and aligning me with a lovely company and exciting role in the exact area I was after. Great throughout the whole process. A little care goes a long way!
