Andrew Hibbard

Hey, I’m Andy, the IT, Infrastructure & leadership guy here at SoCode, and joined the team in mid 2023.

I recruit for someones first job in IT, all around Tech support, up to Directors & CIO’s. I love the team here at Socode, we get on really well, and have great plans to expand the desk (and take over the world)!

I enjoy the commercial side of the business- getting out to meet clients and candidates, enjoying lunch or a coffee, and learning about the person and not just the job title.

​

What lead you to SoCode?

After spending many years in management & sales, the SoCode opportunity came at a different time in my career to most, but the ability to autonomously build a market whilst being in charge of my own destiny was too good to turn down. I’m a typical ‘Yorkshire lad’ who’s changing to Norfolk ways one day at a time.

What do you enjoy about working at SoCode?

Were very lucky having a great team of people here, we back each other, learn from each other and most importantly enjoy each other’s company.

​

What advice would you give someone looking to get into recruitment?

Keep it simple, leave an impression and most important build relationships not just fill jobs

​

What inspires you?

My kids, my dad and the ‘boss’ – Sir Alex Ferguson

​

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a professional Golfer, and even with a full-time job, 2 young kids and a bad back – I CAN STILL MAKE IT.

​

What would we most likely find you doing at the weekends/outside of work? Hobbies and interests.

If I'm not getting out run by my 2 amazing children, I will be focusing on a nice pint of Guinness after a game of golf.
