I have worked with Sarah for over 10 years. She has brought us some outstanding candidates when others have been unable to do so. Even more importantly, she has been honest with both us and the candidates we are talking to. She always gives feedback but, equally, knows that sometimes both sides need a little time and space. I don’t recommend anyone lightly, but I would recommend Sarah without hesitation.
Head of Audit, Top 10 Firm
I have worked with Sarah for a number of years and have always found her to be very highly competent, professional and able to source candidates that I wouldn’t expect her to be able to find.
Managing Partner, Top 20 Firm
Sarah found me a role that was EXACTLY what I was looking for. More than that, she was at my side throughout the process – coaching, challenging and advocating. She’s one of only two recruiters I’ve ever met who made me feel as though my next role was as important to her as it was to me.
