Bio
Lesley D.
Simon recently recruited me into my current role, which is a promotion from my previous one. I enjoyed working with Simon immensely, he is a very experienced and knowledgeable recruitment professional in this particular area, he helped with my salary expectations and was also very patient and kind through the recruitment process itself, which can sometimes be exacting with public organisations. Simon would definitely be the best choice of consultant for your next planned career move, I highly recommend him

I have had the privilege to work with Simon as both a job seeker and as a hirer and it has been great working with him from both perspectives. His attention to detail, he's understanding of the requirements and his genuine passion for matching the right candidates with the right positions makes the process easier. He provides timely feedback and constantly follows up beyond the hiring stage - demonstrating his commitment to his clients. I strongly recommend Simon.
