  • ​“I have had the pleasure of working and forging a healthy working relationship with Adam. I am in a rush for talent, but not for the sake of it, and it's been imperative that the candidates presented are put through a strong three stage due diligence process. Out of the four candidates presented for one role, we had offer letters to three, and one other strong candidate's salary request proved to be a deal breaker. The market Adam operates within is vicious; the war on retention of talent meant candidates rescinded on their words, despite Adam going through a vigorous validation process."

I find him to be friendly, personable and a great communicator and is a pleasure to work with. When recruiting, it is key to me that I work with someone who communicates regularly, understands the role requirements and also the culture of the company, along with the team dynamics. This is exactly my experience of working with Ian as he consistently identifies candidates that meet the criteria. Not only does Ian understand the demands and needs of our company but he has a strong understanding of the Insurance market and the challenges posed in recent times across UK Regions and London market. All of the candidates onboarded through Ian have been retained in permanent roles with a couple being fast tracked into more senior roles which is a testament to the quality overall and the ‘fit’ of the candidates introduced."
