Bio
Emma Dark ACIM
I was lucky enough to work closely alongside Ben during my time at Samuel Knight to develop our USA brand within the Renewable Energy sector. Ben supported me on various marketing projects across a range of platforms, sharing his US market knowledge in blogs, video interviews and Q&A's. I will be forever grateful to Ben for the time he dedicated to marketing, he was an absolute pleasure to work with! I hope our paths cross again down the line!

Ben identified me as a great candidate for a job position he was working on with a company. The company wasn't 100% involved in the renewable energy industry therefore I didn't want to go further. However, I had an amazing experience with Ben! I appreciated his high level of communication, motivation, enthusiasm, excellent coordination and ability to provide feedback on time. I hope to collaborate with him again on more relevant job position in the right company that is 100% involved in renewable energy or in sustainable development.

I had the opportunity to partner with Ben Jones while I was seeking an expert to join my HR Team in France. He had been recommended to me by a peer based in Poland. I was absolutely thrilled to work with Ben since the start. The time he dedicates to probe and analyze his customer needs are precious to ensure a spot-on search even when the required expertise area is not the most common on the market. The structured methodology and approach he uses are extremely effective (I received a shortlist of 5 CVs within 2 weeks) and reliable. Ben sticks to his commitment and puts a great energy to progress things at a great pace. In parallel, he stays very open to customer input but is also keen in opening his stakeholders to new perspectives. I heard from the candidates that they also enjoyed the experience thoroughly, Ben quickly managed to develop a trust-based relationship with each of them and accompanied them throughout the process. All in all, it was a delight to work with Ben. This led me to contact him immediately when a new hiring need appeared in my team. I can only strongly recommend working with Ben !
