Suraj Chauhan

Senior Business Development Lead

I started out my recruitment journey as a 360-recruitment consultant working within UK engineering and manufacturing, and I moved to QCS Staffing to further progress my knowledge and develop my skills. One of the reasons I joined QCS Staffing was down to their values of which they are so passionate, especially the “one team” ethos which every single member of the team works by.

Outside of QCS Staffing, I like to be social, whether that is meeting up with friends for drinks, dinner or playing golf. If I’m not out and about then I’m likely to be watching spurs, catching on films/Netflix (Big Marvel fan) or having a cheeky game on the Xbox. I also love travelling the world and exploring new countries, so far, my top 3 holiday destinations have been Thailand, New York and Mykonos.
