“I worked with Tom on several occasions over a 2-year period working as a Contractor in a few different fixed-term roles. I found him to be very personable, easy to talk with, understanding and empathetic - for me, a recruiter / client relationship works best when the recruiter really understands the client as a person, not just a candidate for a role - and Tom certainly "got" me completely.

Tom would always be the first person to whom I turn if or when I seek to move on from the permanent role in which I've now settled.”

Mark Boulle, Commercial Senior Legal Counsel
"Working with Rory on our Group Company Secretary assignment was a pleasure. With a well-established network and access to a high-quality talent pool, coupled with an incredibly professional yet pragmatic service, we were able to make a great hire."

Chief People Officer at City Football Group
“Although I ultimately secured a role through a different recruiter, Tom really stood out throughout my job search. He was incredibly helpful, took the time to listen carefully to what I was looking for, and provided valuable insights on the market and salary benchmarks. What really set him apart was that he was very personable and I felt that he genuinely cared (something that, in my experience, isn’t all that common in the recruitment world). His communication was excellent, he kept me updated and always responded to my messages promptly, which I really appreciated. I would recommend working with him.”

Olga Shiryaeva, Corporate & Commercial Senior Legal Counsel
"Rory takes the time to get to know his clients, their personality, likes and dislikes so that he can put them forward for roles he knows will be a good fit. You can tell that Rory also builds great connections with his corporate clients as he is able to describe the hiring team and the company values well."
