The first conversation, done properly.
Karin Wichmann is a Resourcing Consultant at Thatcher Associates, supporting the team across a wide range of roles in the United Kingdom and the Caribbean. She finds, speaks to and looks after the candidates behind our building services trades desk in the UK, and our hotel, hospitality and resort engineering searches across the islands. The roles she is working on are on this page.

Karin Wichmann
Karin brings more than six years of recruitment and headhunting across South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States, in sectors from engineering, mining and logistics to IT, banking and healthcare. She was promoted to team leader at her previous agency, mentoring new consultants, and has worked fully remotely with clients on three continents since 2022. She is known for finding scarce skills, and for keeping candidates well looked after from the first call to their first day.
“The best candidates are rarely the ones applying. They are busy doing the job well. My work is finding them, having a proper first conversation, and making sure nobody is left wondering what happens next.”
