Daniel Crawley is a Strategic Talent Acquisition Lead with a decade of experience architecting high-impact recruitment functions and scalable talent systems across public, higher education, consulting, and technology sectors. He blends hands-on sourcing expertise with delivery-led strategy, having built and led in-house teams that delivered hundreds to thousands of hires while introducing ATS and AI-driven hiring workflows. Daniel has a strong track record in transformation programmes—overhauling systems like iTrent, driving significant cost and time-to-hire improvements, and embedding data-led, inclusive hiring practices. He moves comfortably between agency and in-house environments, founding Ravenwood Recruitment to deliver transparent, long-term talent partnerships while also leading enterprise TA teams at organisations such as UCL and Informa. Notably, he pairs deep technical recruiting experience (from cloud and SRE roles to data and AI hires) with practical experimentation in AI-powered sourcing to improve diversity and decision-making. Based in Reading, he combines philosophical curiosity with a practitioner’s focus on measurable outcomes and scalable recruitment design.
