Bio
Erica Teichert
I've had the privilege of working with Ben as a potential hire and am now working with him as a hiring manager. Ben cares deeply about ensuring the right person is placed in the right position. As a candidate, he checked in with me after interviews and set up follow-up calls when I wanted more information before moving forward. He set clear expectations for the interview, offer and hiring processes, and hiring managers told me they were regularly impressed with his candidates. He helped me feel secure in knowing whether my skills matched up with the media organization's needs. And I couldn't be happier in the job I found through him. I'm looking forward to working with him as one of those hiring managers now, and know he will help make my team even stronger.

Ben guided me through a complex recruitment process, eventually placing me at a role within an organisation to which I was ideally suited. Ben has been instrumental in my career development, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly to fellow financial journalists exploring potential next steps in their career. In addition, Ben has maintained contact to ensure career satisfaction and personal development. Ben facilitated my transition from trade journalism to an established news and intelligence provider, which has undoubtedly elevated both my professional profile.

Maintaining and furthering relationships between donors and the foundation. I worked in a team that consistently maintained a 60% giving rate, and as an individual, I was able to maintain a giving rate above 85%. Over £2.5million was raised over the course of the campaign, for which I was directly responsible for over £200,000 from telephone sales alone. This was the highest amount raised, at the highest giving percentage achieved by any fundraising co-ordinator at the Foundation.
