Consistently working with, and placing candidates in the following technology verticals:

Over a few months, we have been on a heavy recruitment drive in our Policy Fraud Teams looking to fill 14 positions. We are almost at the end now but throughout this arduous process you have consistently been on hand providing help, advice, and assistance at all times. You have been excellent at communicating through the various stages, always swift to respond to emails, cajole when necessary and challenge when appropriate. I wanted to let you know that I feel you are an absolute credit to your team.

I had a very good experience with Steve Wright at Gerrard White. The Entire process was very smooth and Steve can understand client requirements thoroughly. He is very knowledgeable about shortlisting the right CVs first time.

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.
