Client Testimonials

  • 15 Years of Trust!

    I have developed a trusted relationship with Kate for the past 15 years, which has been built on her credibility and expertise in the HR search space.  True partners who really invest time in getting to know my business not only when I have a search need but in our regular dialogue, so when it comes to a search requirement they are highly proactive and put pace into the process.  Getting into the specific requirements on a brief, helping me to develop and shape it based on their market and network insights, is the key differentiator for me when I am looking for a search partner.

  • Exceptional Results as Always!

    I’ve worked with Kate on a number of recruitment projects across different businesses, and each time she has delivered exceptional results. What I value most is the way she takes the time to really understand the culture and needs of the organisation, then translates that into a carefully thought-through shortlist of high-quality candidates. Kate combines deep market knowledge with a straightforward, professional approach that makes the whole process feel seamless. She’s also brilliant at striking the right balance between being supportive and challenging when needed, which gives me real confidence in the decisions we make together. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kate to any business looking to secure outstanding HR talent.

  • I Enjoy Working With Kate!

    I have worked with Kate from a personal career perspective and we have also worked together recruiting talent for my HR Teams for over 20 years. The service Kate provides is unique, she takes the time to get to know you professionally and personally so can she ensure that she is putting you forward for roles which perfectly match both your and the organisation’s  expectations. As part of the recruitment process Kate spends time with the organisation to understand the strategy, challenges and cultural environment which all helps her ensure the candidate is the right fit. I found Kate’s support and approach so valuable when I was working with her to fill senior HR Roles. She isn’t afraid to challenge and does this in a very supportive way to ensure there is a successful outcome for all. Her support does not end when she places a candidate  in a role, she keeps in touch with the candidate  and the organisation to ensure that the successful candidate  is settling in well into the role and the organisation. Kate has an honest and open approach with high integrity, she will not place a candidate in a role if she does not feel it is right for the organisation or the person, it is a very personal service you get from Kate, its not a numbers game! She has built a strong and wide network of organisations and candidates over the years and has a vast amount of experience of  the HR Industry as a whole. I really enjoy working with Kate, I love her style and approach – we’ve got so many great success stories !!
