I’M NOT SAYING I’M THE ORACLE OF LIVE EVENTS AND EXPERIENTIAL RECRUITMENT…
But you’ve never seen us both in the same room.
I’m Robert Kenward, Chief Talent Officer and creator of FitabilityⓇ.
I’ve been working in the Live Events, Brand Experience, and Experiential Marketing space for over two decades. I’ve been a candidate, a client, and a recruiter.
This makes me well acquainted with the challenges you face and enables me to cover the entire talent spectrum above £60k.
I care deeply about my work and I’m generous with my time. Hit me up if you’d like a new perspective on solving classic hiring problems.
Events and Brand Experience people are my people
My career has taken me all over the world and I’ve unearthed many universal truths – like how people like working with people they like. Funny that?
So assuming you’re also a person, my 282 recommendations on LinkedIn give you a clue as to why you’ll enjoy working with me. Through my connections, expertise, and tireless work ethic, you’ll save time and money, and find the talent you deserve.
People-Powered Live Experiences
You deserve better than CV swapping and keyword scanning. Join forces with an industry vet who understands what you actually need to succeed, whether you’re hiring or making your next career move – I’m on your team.
Don’t take my word for it
I have felt prepared and informed ahead of every conversation we’ve had and have really appreciated how much he understands the candidate journey and works to mitigate the parts of the process that might otherwise create uncertainty or anxiety.
He does this by setting expectations correctly, and demonstrating clarity, consistency and empathy throughout all of his interactions with you from the very first email.
He’s thorough yet efficient and highly knowledgeable and insightful about the clients he represents.
Recently, I had the privilege of chatting with him and, boy oh boy, did they go above and beyond to give me some top-notch career advice.
Robert is like Batman, always one step ahead of the game, with a deep understanding of the industry and its trends. His advice was spot-on and tailored to my specific needs.
But what sets Robert apart from other recruiters is their ability to combine professionalism with a playful attitude. They’re like Deadpool, serious when they need to be, but never afraid to crack a joke or two. As you will guess by now, I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a recruiter in the Events industry.
Thank you, good sir, never change!
Look forward to putting Robert’s advice in to practice and will definitely stay in touch.

At every turn, he was always available to speak to about any questions I had, to help put things in perspective, armed with words or encouragement, and guidance notes on how to approach the final face to face interview.
I’ve already started to recommend YOU Search and Select to friends and colleagues who might be thinking of looking for new horizons.
