TESTIMONIALS & GALLERY

"If you're looking to work with someone who can help you find the best suited position for yourself or if you are looking to recruit financial professionals for your business, Ben is that person.

Ben went above and beyond from the start of our communication. He listened and got to understand the expectations for my next professional move and has connected me with the current employer. Ben has thoroughly explained the employer's business concept and has helped me prepare for the interview that resulted in a job offer. During the whole process and after my placement Ben kept in touch to ensure I was happy with my new position.

I would highly recommend Ben's services to anyone looking for their next career move or anyone looking to recruit the most suited candidate for their business."

"I have known Ben for many years and he always takes the time to listen to clients and candidates needs which makes him excellent at what he does.

He is supremely professional, but also down to earth and approachable.

I have no problem recommending Ben to any industry looking to recruit new staff. "

"In my recent search for a new position, Ben was one of the few recruiters who genuinely tried to fit the right person to the right role. He gave some insightful advice when I was lucky enough to have two high quality offers on the table. Ben is very professional and responsive. Thank you for placing me in a company where I hope to thrive."

"I had consistently seen a job advertised that I knew I’d be perfect for, but I had no luck with 2 different recruitment agencies trying to apply. After almost giving up entirely to find something else, Ben contacted me and after a quick discussion about the particular job, it was clear that Ben was different and understood the troubles that I had been through. Ben fought my corner all the way to the end. Helping me word my profile/CV in order to get myself noticed, communicated with the company on my behalf to ask about any reservations that I could answer in order to get through the door! All the way through the process I knew Ben wanted to help me succeed and I truly believe my relocation would not have been as easy if it wasn’t for his support. So after 7 applications, 2 interviews and backing from a superb recruiter like Ben, I couldn’t be more pleased with my current role! And it’s all thanks to Ben for believing in me! Huge thank you!"

"I have to say if you are looking for a recruiter with a genuine personal touch then Ben is your best bet. His approach to recruitment is a cut above most of his competitors.

"I have known Ben for several years whilst I have been looking for senior accounting positions. He is very knowledgeable about the industry and excellent at matching candidates with the right companies. I would highly recommend Ben and will have no hesitation in using him again."

"I have known Ben for a number of years as an experienced recruiter in the Yorkshire region and met up with him again recently for the first time as a candidate. I was impressed by how Ben listened and quickly grasped what my ideal role would look like. Whilst he suggested that such roles do not come along every day, within a week he had submitted my CV to one company within his network, not against a specific recruitment brief but on the basis that he saw me as a good fit for the business and vice versa. Three weeks and two interviews later, I am in receipt of a job offer and am eagerly anticipating a new challenge. I cannot give enough praise for how Ben sought out this opportunity and managed the process from start to finish and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services."
