About Gillian M.
Current position
I’m an experienced Talent Acquisition Partner with a passion for connecting great people with meaningful opportunities.
At First Bus, I lead end-to-end recruitment for a diverse range of roles across key business functions – from front-line operations to corporate teams in HR, Finance, Marketing, and IT.
With a strong understanding of workforce needs and business goals, I work closely with hiring managers to attract, engage, and hire the best talent to help drive our business forward. Whether it's supporting internal mobility or bringing in fresh external talent, I’m committed to delivering a seamless and positive hiring experience for both candidates and stakeholders.
First Bus plays a vital role in keeping communities moving, and I’m proud to contribute by helping to build teams that are passionate, innovative, and ready to shape the future of transport.
Main motivation
I genuinely enjoy working at First Bus – The working environment is both positive and welcoming. It's a supportive environment where you're encouraged to grow, your contributions are recognised, and there's plenty of opportunity to progress your career. The company truly values its people and invests in their development, which makes it a great place to thrive both personally and professionally.
Top advice
Don’t worry if you don’t have it all figured out right away. Focus on gaining experience, being open to learning, and building good habits like reliability, communication, and a positive attitude.
Every role is a chance to develop your skills and learn more about what you enjoy (and what you don’t).
Everyone starts somewhere, and careers are rarely straight lines. Stay curious, stay professional, and trust that your efforts will open the right doors in time.
Greatest achievement
One of the highlights of my career was during my time at Golden Charter, where I was solely responsible for managing all recruitment activities across the business. My work was recognised at the S1 Job Awards, where I received a commendation in 2014 for Best In-House Recruitment Team (under 1,000) – and then went on to win the award in 2015 for Best In-House Recruitment Team (under 500).
