Katrina Collier, a.k.a. The Searchologist, is the highly sought after Recruitment facilitator, keynote speaker, author of The Robot-Proof Recruiter and The Robot-Recruiter Mastermind & Certification, co-host of The #SocialRecruiting Show, and founder of DisruptHR in the UK. Drawing on her early-career experience as a recruiter, sourcer, and manager, she has helped thousands globally become better TA professionals and grow their careers. Originally from Australia, Katrina now lives in London and brings an energetic, cheeky, and infectious style to the topic of humanizing recruiting.

Her primary cause is Hope for Justice which aims to end human trafficking and modern slavery. Katrina uses every opportunity, including the proceeds from her book to boost their mission. For Katrina, personal values are intermingled with work, and she encourages all those she touches to work and serve with passion and authenticity to make a difference regardless of role or level, but especially for those who are leaders.
