“My experience with Charlotte has been truly exceptional. From start to finish, she was consistently supportive, proactive, and genuinely invested in my success. Her positive attitude and approachable nature made the entire process smooth and reassuring. It never felt like just a job to her—she truly had my best interests at heart and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and felt confident every step of the way.”
Charlotte Flaherty, Senior Consulting, Financial Services -
“Thank you for all your help, Louise! Must say I’m very impressed with you and the way you have been so on the ball and efficient. I have registered with a few recruitment services and not one of them got back to me after my initial contact, but you have been amazing!”
Louise Bibb, Regional Manager Financial Services -
“Lynn was amazing and had me set up with interviews within a day or two. I wouldn’t have managed this myself and I am so very grateful for all of her help and support during this process.”
Lynn Wilson, Senior Consultant Financial Services -
"Ashlea spent three years trying to contact me - that is tenacity!! It paid off because when I was ready to leave my job her name was very familiar to me, so I was happy to have a chat. She does her homework and does not try to fit a round circle into a square hole. She actually takes time and care in selecting the right candidates for the roles she has and therefore both parties are happy with the outcome. She was incredibly professional and responsive making sure that the interview and enrolment process was moving forwards quickly. She builds rapport easily and consequently, I find her very easy to talk to. Would highly recommend. Thank you Ashlea - I am happy to be working again!"
Ashlea Walton, Client Director Financial Services -
"I can't thank Alison MacMillan enough for her dedication and professionalism in helping me to secure a fantastic new role with one of the top companies in the UK. Friendly and approachable, she has been extremely supportive throughout the whole journey.She is extremely proactive, knowledgeable, polite, and supportive. She has a genuinely positive, can-do attitude and worked with me to better understand the roles that I was genuinely interested in - rather than blindly sending lists of unsuitable vacancies. Highly recommend."
Alison MacMillan, Executive Director Financial Services -
"I can't thank Alex enough for the support and encouragement he gave me to secure my new job role. He really listened to what I was looking for, matched me with a great opportunity, and coached me throughout the application/interview process. Alex is professional yet approachable and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for work in Financial Services."
Alex Merrick, Business Manager Financial Services -
"Alex invested a great amount of time in getting to know me and helping me find a suitable role.Throughout the process, Alex remained in regular contact, and I valued having somebody I could talk to about the anxieties that you might typically face when considering a big move.Thanks to Alex, I've found the perfect role with an excellent company and look forward to getting my feet firmly under the table."
Alex Merrick, Business Manager Financial Services -
"Louise, and the wider team at IDEX, has and continues to be a great partner for Amber River. Louise has gone to great lengths, building key relationships not only with our Central HR Team but also with each of our individual businesses, providing tailored, knowledgeable guidance and support. I know I don't even need to be involved in conversations between Louise and our hiring managers, I'm confident in both her abilities in recruiting within financial services but also her stakeholder management. We have only had great feedback and praise for Louise and the rest of the Team at IDEX and will continue to partner with them."
Louise Bibb, Regional Manager Financial Services -
"James Salmon was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He took the time to listen thoroughly at the start of the process, advising which potential placements were more likely to meet my requirements. He kept me well informed with any progress and I had excellent pre-interview discussions and advice. James always followed up with me after an interview both before and after speaking to the interviewer. I am incredibly grateful for his service, it has made a daunting process far more manageable, and should I decide to move on in the future he'll be the first person I call!"
James Salmon, Business Manager Financial Services -
"Ashlea helped me to find my current role with Towergate and was a pleasure to deal with throughout the process. She works with candidates to identify the right fit and keeps in touch with regular updates. Her focus is on building relationships rather than just placing a candidate. I would (and have) whole-heartedly recommend partnering with Ashlea."
Ashlea Walton, Client Director Financial Services -
"The whole process was brilliant with a few potential opportunities presented to me. I hadn’t interviewed for 6 years so I felt a bit out of practice but James helped my confidence to not only complete but enjoy the interview process. I received great guidance for the assessment center day on how to and how not to come across and the type of questions I should ask and be asked."
James Salmon, Business Manager Financial Services -
"The experience was very positive, never an easy decision to change roles/firm but, I was able to make informed decisions because of the support Louise showed me throughout, thanks again IDEX!"
Louise Bibb, Regional Manager Financial Services -
"Alex has been fantastic throughout the whole recruitment process. He has supported me at every step and was more than happy to pick up the phone and discuss any questions I had and offer his expertise on numerous occasions. He is a very experienced recruiter and this comes across in his understanding of the industry. His explanation of the role was very accurate and was exactly what I was looking for. He made sure that the role was going to be suitable for me by asking relevant questions and really listening to what was important to me and for my career. I found this a refreshing approach and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend Alex for anyone looking to progress their career in financial services."
Alex Merrick, Business Manager Financial Services -
"Alex approached me about a fantastic opportunity to further my career - I cannot recommend him strongly enough very professional and also personally caring, no hard sell - if he says he’ll call you back, he does! If you’re thinking of changing jobs, you could do a lot worse than speak to Alex."
Alex Merrick, Business Manager Financial Services -
"Working with Alex has made me see the value in working with a recruiter. He not only showed me a great opportunity but also helped me understand more about the role and the company. He clearly knew his client very well and kept me updated regularly on what to expect and next steps throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend working with Alex and definitely worth at least having a conversation with him."
Alex Merrick, Business Manager Financial Services -
"Louise is extremely delivery focussed and committed to delivering a great service. Feedback from the businesses that Louise has worked with has been really positive!Louise has been very good at managing our expectations on the market and the need to focus on our offer – package, hybrid working, commitment to development & growth – and the candidate packs have been well received in the business."
Louise Bibb, Regional Manager Financial Services -
"I would like to thank Louise for the support that she provided to me whilst seeking alternative roles in Financial Services. Louise took time to understand why my previous role had not turned out as expected, what went well and importantly what did not go so well. Time was taken to understand the key elements to any new role, focusing on my main requirements. Time was taken to understand my skills and preferences in identifying roles that would be of interest. Her availability and communication during the process was faultless. Louise knew that it was not just about the salary, but the company, its culture and remuneration was not the main objective. I would have no hesitation in recommending Louise to the many colleagues I have built up during 30 years in financial services."
Louise Bibb, Regional Manager Financial Services -
"Alison kept looking when other recruiters stopped. In this day and age of spam recruitment messages and never ending applications the only person you need is Alison at IDEX. After spending time carefully listening to my requirements and noting down my personal circumstances she endlessly searched and never gave up until she delivered on the job I was looking for. After attempting to use many agencies on LinkedIn I'd all but given up on moving roles until Alison got involved. Now I'm in the job I've been after for years and have no need to speak to recruiters again! I cannot recommend Alison enough."
Alison MacMillan, Executive Director Financial Services -
"I would highly recommend using Alison if you are looking for a new role! She helped me find my current position and couldn’t have been more helpful. We had spoken on the phone and Alison really took the time to listen and hear me out. I felt that Alison took into consideration everything I had said and found me the perfect role. I was given interview techniques and advice and found her services invaluable. Alison checked in with me before my interview and also on my first few weeks in my new role. My current role is exactly what I had been looking for and I am grateful to Alison for finding me this position."
Alison MacMillan, Executive Director Financial Services -
"I dealt with IDEX Consulting when recruiting a new member for our support team. I was really pleased with the help and advice they provided which resulted in us securing a new member of staff. I was particularly pleased, and grateful, that IDEX listened to my requirements and responded with appropriate candidates, this made the process a lot easier. Thanks IDEX, I look forward to working with you again in the future."
