Bio
Richard Clements
I have worked with Simon now for several months, and found him to be reliable when providing high calibre candidates and a good quality service to myself and our organisation. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other internal recruiters looking for technical staff.
Michael Davis
Simon is what all good recruiters should be. Thorough, reliable and sends a good amount of well qualified, suitable candiates who fit all of our requirements having listened and taken on-board all of our requirements. Simon and his team recently filled one of our most challenging and business critical positions with an excellent candidate and we couldnt be happier. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Simon to future candidates or employers from both a professional and personal standpoint, his pro-active approach makes it easy and his personality makes it fun. We look forward to maintaining a good working relationship.
