Luke Alexander
Education Client Director
In work
I joined Instinct in 2012 after Graduating from The University of Worcester with a Degree in Sport and Exercise Science. Over the last 11 years my position has evolved somewhat, but I am currently responsible for recruiting within Instinct’s Education division. Working directly with clients to truly understand their needs, and deliver high quality resource.
Out of work
As a Father of two, I often enjoy coming to work for some much needed R&R! When not ferrying the kids to and from after school clubs I can be found; on the Golf Course, watching my beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers or spending time with the better half! If I can squeeze in a Ski trip once a year also, then I’m a happy man.

Instinct has been able to provide us with talented individuals who have been instrumental in enabling us to move forward with our programme development. Without them I do not believe we would be where we are now!. I would highly recommend Luke and Instinct to provide the candidates that you need, the turn around times from request to hire is simply amazing
We wanted to hire some flexible resource, Digital Learning Designers and Developers, to support our internal team with some project work. As Instinct were already a supplier to the Crown Commercial Service Framework, they were already fully vetted and ready for us to use. We did speak to a few other agencies but the fact that they were on the framework was the deciding factor. Since our initial project, we’ve used Instinct again on multiple occasions. They take the time to understand our project and need and then can suggest solutions. Usually we can have a shortlist of suitable Digital Learning contractors within 2-3 days of us discussing the brief. We’ve also hired A Learning Consultant, LMS Platform Specialist, LMS Admins, Graphic Designers and Video Editors on this model. It’s a ready-made pool of flexible resource which we can tap into on demand.
All candidates have been excellent, they have all the skills and experience we were looking for, they’re curious, make suggestions and really get stuck in. In comparison to people we previously hired direct, the quality it like night and day between the two. Because we had used Instinct for previous recruitment and seen the calibre of candidates you were able to provide. Also, I had worked with you in a candidate capacity and knew what the candidate experience was like working with Instinct. Finally, my poor experience working with other recruitment agencies, a lot of which have been unreliable. In terms of quality and communication Instinct have stood out. The main thing is communication and being kept informed throughout the process.
