“George - or EJ - had an in depth knowledge and strong contacts in my sector. They took a focused approach to my search identifying and analysing all opportunities before advising fully on the most suitable for my experience and personality. They recognised that personality fit was as important to a candidate and an employer as experience and knowledge and were looking for a long term fit rather than a quick fix.
Throughout the process they remained motivated and dynamic - driving the search and continuing to actively follow up all opportunities even when there were already attractive offers on the table. Every opportunity was explored - at no point was I pressurised or encouraged to compromise or accept an offer where there were doubts.
Throughout the search I felt that EJ were strongly representing my interests providing mentoring and strategy advice as well as opening doors. I liked their frank and straightforward, no bull business like approach and felt at all times that I was given a highly personalised and tailored service.” Corporate partner at a mid-town firm
