Bio
Andrew McKenzie
Chriss, backed by a strong and professional team, has the ability to understand a requirement quickly and comprehensively then rapidly identify and pre-qualify suitable candidates. She makes the effort to understand the client organisation as well as the specifics of the role and as a result has probably the best "CVs presented" to "Offers made" ratio of any recruiter I've worked with.

I have engaged Chriss' company for headhunter/recruitment assignments many times over the years and she has never failed to deliver, irrespective of the timescale or specialist skills/experience I was seeking. I have also recommended her to a number of friends and colleagues all of whom have reported similarly positive results, the most recent just a couple of months ago.

Left in 1984 to start up my own recruitment organisation focussing on a very niche part of the technology market - Voice and Data Networking and recruiting primarily for global financial and oil and energy companies. I have enjoyed the challenges of taking a small start-up business and, with my colleagues, building it over the past three decades into one of Europe's leading cross-sector technology recruitment companies. Together we have developed a range of products and services with one unique theme - people. Church International offers the traditional permanent, contract and interim recruitment services, whilst Talent LifeCycle helps businesses design and run the best talent attraction, development and retention function.
