“I trust Emma’s judgement entirely throughout the recruitment process.
She very quickly understood our requirements and the process has always been seamless from start to finish. She is 100% my preferred recruitment agency.”
Quintessentially — Lucy Telling, Head of Private Servicing
“Colville Search was recommended to us by a business associate, to help us fill a role in our HR team and what a positive experience it was.
We had already had a false start, so efficiency and an immediate solution was key. Luckily, Emma is instantly likeable and easy to work with from the get-go. She understood our brief intuitively and was able to relate to our challenges and make suggestions in the very first conversation.
The next working day I had two excellent candidates in my inbox, with the promise of more if we desired. We didn't need to see anyone else in the end because we struggled to choose between the initial two candidates anyway - we loved them both!
We had the interviews in the coming days and made an offer to the perfect candidate (which was accepted!) by the end of week 1.
Colville Search clearly has an excellent pool of candidates and understands how to spot someone who 'gets it'. Their pricing is reasonable, and their business terms are straightforward. I won't be going anywhere else for future hires into my team. Emma is my go-to now!”
Aream & Co -Eve Dusek, Business Manager
