Paul’s testimonials:

“On top of being a nice guy, Paul is a great recruiter – and I can completely understand why he is now an account director. He took the time to chat with me and really understand what I needed out of my next role, as well as what skills and experience I really had (not just estimated that I had). Having had my fingers burned in a self-sourced project, he really put me at ease and helped me take the next step, by putting me in touch with a fabulous team, where I am now employed! Presuming that Paul does the same for potential employers, then I can safely say he is one of the best recruiters I have been lucky enough to meet.”

Nathalie Dalton-King

“Paul provided an excellent and tenacious service in securing a position for me with a well-known ILT and e-learning provider. Paul provided regular contact throughout the recruitment/engagement process. He also conveyed all information available to him in a timely manner, and discussed matters openly and frankly. Having secured the position, Paul has kept in regular contact with me to ensure all is well. Paul is, in my experience, one of those rare practitioners within the recruitment profession, he does exactly what he says he will do. I commend Paul to you in the highest possible terms.”
