Chris Wilkinson has a wide-ranging CV from a commercial pilot, to financial sales to setting up his own recruitment company. These achievements are born from a desire to overcome the challenges and difficulties of dyslexia.

Chris Wilkinson  is the founding director of Gifted Recruitment, a recruitment company based in Reading. The company also specialises in helping candidates with dyslexia from CV writing to interview skills, as well as working with the hiring company to advise them on the advantages that people with dyslexia can bring. People with dyslexia are gifted.

The company was set up after Chris Wilkinson was looking for a new career and found that recruitment companies didn’t have the knowledge or expertise to help people with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. Wanting to get away from the pressures of complex report writing at work, Chris embarked on his own adventure to set up a company to help others in his position.
