I wanted to give you some feedback about the team. Over the past 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’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.

Gerrard White placed the Group Financial Director in our organisation. I found their level of service to be excellent. They were available at any time when I needed to contact them, even late out of office hours. Their detailed briefing and de-briefing of both myself and the candidates before and after the interviews proved invaluable in covering all aspects of any objections that arose. They were beside me every step of the way and, uniquely took the time to understand my business and the culture within our group. They offered a professional and consultative service coupled with a caring attitude. This allowed the recruiting for this critical hire to be a smooth and uncomplicated process.
