“I first encountered Reed Finance’s Executive Search team when we were in the process of recruiting two chartered accountants. They took the time to speak to me to find out exactly what our requirements were, which actually happened to change during the process. Reed Finance’s Executive Search team was able to provide me with a good list of prospective candidates which is a lot more than I could say for some of the other agencies.”

“Early in 2007, a recruitment need was highlighted within my organisation for a high calibre finance professional to help drive the strategic acquisition and commercial activity of the company. As Eaga plc is on a long term growth path, this role was seen as pivotal in making the strategic intent a reality. Having worked with Reed Finance for quite some time, I knew that I could trust the judgement of their Executive Search team to recommend candidates that would not only fit the role but more importantly fit the organisation too. Eaga plc prides itself on “recruiting on attitude” first. With the effort that they took to get to know the organisation and me personally, they already understood what type of person would work well within the team.

The quality of short listed candidates that the Executive Search team put forward was impressive. They had taken the time to properly select candidates before putting them forward for first interview stage, which allowed a decision to be made after just one interview, saving both me and my fellow board colleague valuable time and effort.

The chosen candidate has proven to be a fabulous asset to the organisation. I have been delighted by the service and outcome provided by Reed Finance Executive Search team. I would certainly not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to others in the future.”

“Reed Finance’s Executive Search team made sure they understood what we wanted in our new Director of Finance & Operations position and then quickly set about putting in front of us a range of high-quality candidates carefully selected to meet the requirements of the role. We were particularly delighted with the pro-active and can-do approach that they demonstrated throughout the process and would unhesitatingly recommend them to companies seeking senior-level financial professionals.”

“I would like to thank Reed Finance’s Executive Search team for all the hard work that you put into filling our Director of Accounting and Finance position. The C.V.'s you presented were top quality and you were consistently responsive to our needs and understood the organisations priorities in the qualities we sought in the candidates.”

“I found Reed Finance’s Executive Search team to be helpful and approachable. What was most appreciated was that they listened to my needs and wishes rather than fostering on me roles that I was not interested in. They took the time to explore my wishes asking relevant insightful questions to ensure that I had considered all possible avenues.

I know that they undertook an extensive proactive marketing campaign about me, given that I was looking for a very specific part time role rather than wait for such a role to turn up, which was unlikely. They also assisted me greatly with helpful feedback about tailoring my CV to the latest best practice.

I would unreservedly recommend Reed Finance’s Executive Search team to any colleague or company that I know is looking to recruit a senior finance professional.”
