I have been working very closely with Anthony at every level (selection, interviews, contracting, invoicing, service management...). His work result, managerial skills and dedication were continuously outstanding. I was amazed by his ability to think out of the box and to provide solutions to complex issues. No doubt Anthony is an excellent professional and a clear added value to any organisation. I highly recommend him.

I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Gerrard White from both ‘sides of the fence’. As a candidate in the market they were very focused on understanding my needs and ambitions. I’ve had dealings with many agencies & agents over 12 years and they genuinely care about finding the right role for those they form relationships with - and they are relationships, not sales pitches. They are not a volume player, but attentive and ensure they understand every detail of the requirements. Combined with getting to know the employer and candidates they have a natural ability to find not just technically strong, capable people on the market but create the interpersonal link and the right cultural fit to a team making the whole experience a genuinely pleasurable and easy one. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We always use Cam for our recruitment needs at all levels. As a smaller firm, she understands our specific requirements as well the type of candidate who will “fit” with us. We very often have a very difficult decision to make between the excellent calibre of candidate and in the past have created roles for those people to fill. Cam is hugely efficient and helpful and takes away the stress of recruitment for us.
