Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Aaeysha.

Founder of Wisteria Talent

I've spent over 15 years in recruitment, backed by eight years of first-hand experience within the motor trade.

I founded Wisteria Talent in 2023 because I wanted to create a recruitment business that felt more personal, one built on genuine relationships, honest communication and a proper understanding of both the role and the people behind it.

Having worked within the automotive sector myself, I understand the pace, pressures and dynamics of dealership life. That experience shapes the way I recruit today: understanding the business behind the vacancy, getting to know the person behind the CV and making introductions that genuinely make sense.

Wisteria Talent is founder-led, which means clients and candidates work directly with me throughout the process, with no unnecessary handovers and no disappearing once an introduction has been made.

My wider recruitment background also means there are times when I support selected clients with staffing needs outside the motor trade.

The story

Why Wisteria Talent was created

Wisteria Talent was founded in 2023 with a simple idea: recruitment should feel more personal.

After more than 15 years in recruitment, alongside eight years of first-hand experience within the motor trade, I wanted to create something that brought both sides together properly. A recruitment business that understood the realities of dealership life, while also keeping in mind that behind every vacancy and every CV is a person making an important decision.

My son’s wellness journey was also a big part of why I took the step to start Wisteria Talent. I needed a way of working that gave me the flexibility to be there for my family, while still continuing the career I had spent years building.

I wanted Wisteria Talent to be built around genuine relationships, honest communication and trust. That means taking the time to understand what a business really needs, getting to know what matters to a candidate and making introductions that genuinely make sense.

For me, recruitment has never just been about filling a vacancy. It is about helping businesses build stronger teams and helping people make career moves they feel good about.

That is still at the heart of Wisteria Talent today.
