Testimonials - just some of the comments we have received

“I have used Debi for two senior searches over the last year and have just engaged her for a third, without hesitation. She just does that little bit more than your average search firm – she gets to know not just the role, but also the personalities and the culture of our business, and the result is that have I never seen a CV or an individual who wouldn’t fit into the firm.  It saves me time and she gets results and I would have no reservation in recommending her.” CFO / Partner Private Equity

"The level of Bateman Reeves knowledge and experience enables both the client and candidate to be well matched. A full understanding of what we were searching for was demonstrated in terms of cultural fit (which was vital to the team) along with calibre and experience. A first class and enjoyable service!” Director Funds Marketing

"During my recent search I found BR to be very proactive thorough and helpful. Debi went to a lot of trouble to understand both the requirements of the job and the culture of the firm. She met and pre screened the candidates before presenting them to me. Once the preferred candidate was identified, she worked hard at closing the arrangements and keeping the person enthusiastic until they joined. I was equally impressed that Debi checked after the joining date that both parties were happy and that things were working. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bateman Reeves" RF Director of Ratings

"I found Bateman Reeves to be extremely professional from the moment that they contacted me about the position that I eventually took! I found them totally trustworthy and confidential and they did not waste any time in advising me on my CV and meeting with me. The care was second to none and obvious understanding of the recruitment process was honest and consultative and ensured that I had a full understanding of the company and also the background of the people with whom I was meeting. The post interview discussions were thought provoking and extremely beneficial. After securing me a brilliant offer I was looked after before and after I started and would recommend Bateman Reeves to any future candidates." FC Private Equity

"Sharp, creative, honest, direct and focused. These are words that describe my experience of Bateman Reeves. The initial approach made was refreshing and stood out as unique and full of energy. Debi’s enthusiasm and unfailing good sense of humour, I have no doubt, has a lot to do with securing the best candidates out there. She was a pleasure to work with and we will call her first next time". CIO Asset Management

 “After limited success through my conventional routes, to find two “difficult to find” senior management positions in Central London I was very pleased with the quality of the candidates put forward and within a month we had closed on a first-class candidate for one of the positions and were in advanced discussion with highly suitable candidates for the other role.  They understood our needs and were meticulous in their screening of potential candidate.  This gave me the confidence to recently commission them for a third, much more technical role and they are finding their way around the industry with apparent ease and talking to some very interesting candidates” International HR Director Global EPC Contractor

“ A number of points could be made that would reflect our satisfaction at your services.  However, what impressed me most was your continual management of our expectations of both the client and the candidate from the first approach through until after the appointment.   The recruitment process for senior level appointments is fraught with complications changing expectations of both candidate and client and often worse changing timelines.  You managed well and with the required discretion. You have provided clear added value in finding and helping secure high calibre individuals who fit our requirements. Thank you for all your help and we look forward to working with you in the future” VP of Finance Global EPC Company.
