Meet our Team

Steph Sopjes

RPO Manager

I have worked at Meridian for around five years, starting out as a temp receptionist in our Bristol branch. Prior to this,  I spent the majority of my working career before Meridian in the financial sector for a Large UK bank. My first role was onboarding, where I scheduled and managed new starters and their first 6 months into the company, from there I “fell” into recruitment, where I ran an in-house recruitment and compliance team before becoming a regional recruitment consultant with the responsibility of ensuring the 1000+ headcount requirement. I then took a career break to travel for 3 years and ended up living in New Zealand for a year …..guess what I did for work…Recruitment! I worked with a global company in digital services and printing solutions after I completed their recruitment needs, I also ran backpacker hostels before travelling some more, I mean making my way home to Bristol!

Working in recruitment gives you the freedom to build and realise your own vision for your career….If you have an idea and it’s a good one, Meridian will back you to achieve your goal through their passion and dedication. 

Outside of the busy world of recruitment, I love a cheeky shopping trip ( my obsession with handbags is real), Cocktails with friends and exploring new countries 😊.
