Our Founder

Cally, Our Founder
  • Cally is a recruitment and talent specialist with a background in full cycle recruitment, leadership advisory, and wellbeing strategy.

    After years of supporting high-performing teams, she saw a clear pattern: people weren’t leaving roles because they lacked ability, but because their environments weren’t built for success.

    Her experience and vision shape everything we do at Balance.

Cally was so good. She is the best among the other recruiters I have seen before. She was so friendly and helpful in arranging the Interviews and in providing feedback. She found me a job at Accurise. Just a perfect job that I was looking for. I already Cally's contact to few of my friends already.

Working with Balance is always an exceptional experience. At HumanOS, we only partner with organisations who share our values, our integrity, and our commitment to meaningful impact, and Balance exemplifies this. They bring a world-class, people-first approach to talent and culture, and their dedication to creating environments where individuals genuinely thrive makes every collaboration seamless and deeply impactful. Together, we’ve supported Balance’s customers and placements through HumanOS coaching, wellbeing, and performance services, ensuring they receive high-quality, personalised support that drives real behavioural change and measurable improvements across wellbeing, engagement, and performance. Most recently, we partnered on an event in Bristol focused on building sustainable high-performance cultures, and once again the alignment between our missions was clear from the outset. When Balance’s strategic expertise meets HumanOS’s evidence-based coaching and behaviour-change methodology, organisations gain a truly future-ready pathway to building resilient, high-performing teams that thrive in the real world.
