Kate Shorthouse is TRC’s squash-loving, animal-adoring workaholic. Currently recovering from wrist and back injuries, she’s counting down the days until she can get back to horse riding—a passion rooted in her upbringing on a stud farm, where she used to compete in equestrian events. At home, her heart belongs to her beloved cat Evie, the most important breathing thing in her life and her constant source of comfort and joy. Career-driven and fiercely loyal, Kate has known Luke and Ash for nine years, worked with them three times, and now plans to stick with TRC for good. With her dedication, unwavering love for Evie, and her furry (and hoofed) friends, Kate is truly one of a kind!

Kate brings a wealth of experience to The Recruitment Crowd as a Principal Recruitment Consultant. With a strong background in recruitment and a passion for connecting talent with opportunity, Kate excels in understanding both client needs and candidate aspirations. She has huge plans in place in alignment with her return to TRC, to build the Sales & Exec Division initially and Perm and the wider business as a whole....exciting few years around the corner for Kate working with TRC.

Her strategic approach, combined with a commitment to building lasting relationships, has enabled her to successfully manage high-profile recruitment projects across various sectors. Kate’s expertise lies in delivering tailored solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations.
