What our clients say
I have had the pleasure of working with Craig both as a candidate and as a client and I would highly recommend him.
Craig is highly professional, he is knowledgeable about the sector and about the region’s tech industry. He can build good relationships with those he works with to truly understand people’s needs and ensure an all-around fit for candidates and employers
Ross
Head of Technology
“I have started working with Craig while recruiting for my team on recommendation from my General Manager who has utilised Craig’s recruitment skills for the past 6 years. I heard good things about Craig and he didn’t disappoint. Throughout the process, he sourced and sent only suitable applicants and was in constant contact with honest updates. In my experience promising and delivering are rare attributes of a recruiter but not for Craig, he did exactly what he said we would and didn’t comprise on service or the calibre of candidates”
Karl
Sales Manager
“Highly recommend Craig for any recruitment needs, great communication throughout and just an all round easy, friendly service!”
Adam
Company Director
A true ‘people person’, I’ve worked with Carl for over five years. Carl is an outstanding networker and relationship builder, with a natural flair for communication. Reliable and focused, he always does what he says he’ll do. He’s a joy to work with. Whether you’re a client or colleague, I’d certainly recommend him in a professional capacity.
David
Business Development Director
I have worked alongside Carl for the past 6 years as an Account Director, and I was always impressed with how he dealt with his clients, with the relationships he built and the professionalism he showed. His ability to think around problems through innovation is a skill.
Carl has a great sense of humour and is very quick witted. I will miss not having him in our team, as he could make you laugh even on the most stressful of days.
Adelle
Account Director
Carl has a unique blend of sharp commercial acumen and a personality that is engaging and compelling. He gets real results through people that want to work with him. Carl consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic and a dedication to his client’s success.
He is highly respected by colleagues, employees, suppliers, and customers alike!
Aside from all of this he’s a top man who is so much fun to be around – keep being you, Carl!
Rich
Global Head of Media
I have had the pleasure of working with Carl between 2022 and 2024 as a key client. Carl was our account director and he is an extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and detail oriented professional. Furthermore, he is a great person to work with and definitely an asset to any organisation. I would like to give him my warmest recommendation.
