I have been working with Rory on a number of critical roles for the bank over the past year. He is definitely one of the stronger consultants I have worked with and has consistently delivered high quality candidates with very strong fit for the roles in question. I would recommend Rory as a resourcing partner on that basis.

I have worked with Rory on a number of roles at Acenden. I have always found him to be professional, have a clear understanding of the key requirements and hold strong industry knowledge within banking and asset management. On that basis I would have no hesitation in recommending Rory for any mid to senior level appointments.

Jonathan has successfully placed several candidates within my team, and other teams within the bank. In the past, it has been difficult to get candidates with the relevant skill-set and experience, but Jonathan consistently hits the mark. Furthermore, he ensures each candidate who arrives for interview has been briefed fully on the role and our products – its a refreshing change.

A key plus for me in dealing with Jonathan was that he had a really good understanding of the industry he was recruiting into and was able to discuss the role I was considering in quite a bit of detail which was very important to me. Jonathan always made time to go through any questions I had and in general I felt he went above and beyond what was required which I believe sets him out as one of the best recruiters I have come across.
