DeskLodger of the Month - January 2025

We can all be guilty of under-appreciating recruiters, until we suddenly, desperately need them. Well, we appreciate this one every day! This month’s winner of the most-coveted award in business is CPS Group UK’s Liam Williams. Read about how innovation keeps him on his toes, and what motivates him to find the perfect business match.

Why did you choose your role/industry?

I initially fell into recruitment after being made redundant from a sales role. It wasn’t a career path I had planned, but I quickly discovered that I enjoyed connecting people with the right opportunities and helping businesses grow by finding the talent they need. Now, I specialise in EV charging recruitment because it’s an industry that’s not just growing rapidly but also plays a critical role with net-zero targets and green initiatives.

What is the most surprising part of your job?

The most surprising part of my job is how much of an impact recruitment can have beyond simply filling roles. It’s not just about matching candidates to jobs; it’s about helping businesses grow, shaping career paths, and even contributing to larger societal     goals. For example, in EV charging recruitment, I’m constantly amazed by the sheer pace of innovation and how quickly the industry is evolving to meet sustainability goals. Seeing how the roles I help fill play a direct part in building infrastructure for a greener future is incredibly fulfilling. It’s a reminder of how interconnected recruitment is with progress and positive change.

What are your plans for your career path?

My career path is focused on continuing to grow as a specialist in recruitment, particularly within the EV charging and broader     renewables sectors. I aim to develop and lead my own teams, building out a dedicated function that focuses on supporting businesses driving the green transition.

How does DeskLodge help you do your job?

DeskLodge makes my job easier by providing a flexible, productive workspace where I can focus and thrive. The vibrant environment is perfect for both focused work and brainstorming, and I love the sense of community it fosters.

Interacting with Joanna, Hayley, Bella, and Jess is always a highlight of my day - they bring such great energy and support, making DeskLodge not just a workspace, but a genuinely enjoyable place to be. It’s the perfect balance of professionalism and personality, helping me stay motivated and connected.

Are you remote, on-site or hybrid?
