Alison kept in touch with me during the end to end recruitment process, offering help, support and encouragement and I am really delighted to have found the perfect role for me as a result! If you are looking for a recruitment partner I would not hesitate to recommend Alison for either search and selection or recruitment partnership.

I would definitely recommend Meena to any friends or family who are looking to change jobs. She kept in touch regularly and provided me with plenty of advice before interviews.Meena is extremely efficient and supportive. She listened to my views on what kind of role/firm I was looking for.

Even if there was no update, Meena kept in touch to let me know she was chasing for responses.Before starting my new job, Meena kept in contact to make sure the whole onboarding process went smoothly and she checked in even after I started to make sure all was okay.

She is not only professional but very personable and makes what can be a daunting decision much easier.I really don't know how Ashlea has the time to offer such a personalised experience, throughout the process I felt I was the only person she was looking after.

She also kept in touch frequently to update me throughout the whole process. She's an excellent and personable individual who seems to really care about the success of her clients in securing a suitable role and not just placing people into a role without any tailoring of what might be suitable. I'm really grateful for her support and pleased with the level of service provided.”
Rehana Sadiq, Senior Consultant Financial Services -
“Rehana was one of 5 recruiters to try and offer me a job, but was the only one to actually ask me about where I’d like to work and genuinely listened. She used her contacts and experience within the industry to land me the exact job I wanted, with the company I’ve wanted to work for, for a long time - so her results speak for themself. Rehana was a dream to work with from start to finish and if I ever decide to move jobs in the future I will look no further than her.”
Rehana Sadiq, Senior Consultant Financial Services -
“Rehana has made sure I am happy and comfortable, she's been friendly and approachable and has made what would have been very stressful into an easy process where I felt in control throughout. She was quick with getting back to me and never forgot to check in or update me when she said she would. I felt like she genuinely cared and wanted the best for me and I would 100% recommend IDEX and Rehana to anyone who was looking for another opportunity. Rehana took the time to get to know me and play to my strengths in terms of the roles. Honestly, I cannot fault her, she has been fantastic from start to finish.”

"Rhys is highly knowledgeable about the legal industry and goes the extra mile to ensure both the candidate and employer are the right fit. At all stages of the recruitment process, Rhys set himself aside from other recruiters through his great communication skills, connections with firms, and hard work. These qualities are highly appreciated in what can be a stressful time for the candidate. I highly recommend other legal professionals to use Rhys when they want to find a job, either inside or outside of London."
Rhys Elliott, Senior Consultant Legal Private Practice -
"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!"

Rhys Elliott, Senior Consultant Legal Private Practice -
I cannot thank Luqmaan enough for contacting me about the role I am now in and engaging with polite persistence, suggesting that this role was perfect for me. I initially disregarded the suggestion, not being a fan of change or thinking I was the best candidate. However, Luqmaan recommended an off-the-record chat and since then has been in regular contact, with answers to queries and useful advice. Such a great service. Thanks!

She works extremely hard for her candidates and is in constant contact throughout the whole process.Subsequently she has continued to help us with new and vacant positions, counselling on the market and best approach for success.I have no hesitation in recommending Ashlea, whether you are looking for a position, or a business that needs one filled."
Ashlea Walton, Client Director Financial Services -
"I worked with Ashlea when looking for a new position. I found Ashlea to be very proactive and was able to source many opportunities for me, with a variety of different companies.It took a lot of the pain away from looking for a new position, a lot of recruiters will offer you one opportunity and that will be it, whereas with Ashlea, she was able to offer me a variety of different companies and had a point of contact with the majority of the companies I was interested in working for.She is very down to earth, very relaxed and takes a genuine interest in getting to know the candidates. I would strongly recommend anyone to work with Ashlea if they are looking for alternative employment."

"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 have worked in partnership with IDEX frequently over the last 15 years and they have always delivered. In a recent recruitment project, Lisa took the time to properly understand the brief both in terms of the skill set required but more importantly understanding the ‘fit’ of the candidates to the organisation and culture that the roles require.She displayed a methodical and organised approach and always kept me appraised of progress; both good and the bad, that helped us adapt to the demands of a very challenging environment, where there is strong competition for great talent. IDEX quickly and efficiently narrow down to a shortlist of suitable candidates, of which I am delighted to say has contributed to the delivery of recruiting a great fit to some highly talented teams over the years. I have always been satisfied with both the process and the end result! Thank you IDEX and long may it continue.”
Lisa Williams, Client Delivery Manager General Insurance -
"I can't thank Alex enough for the support and encouragement he gave me to secure my new job role.

Alex is professional yet approachable and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for work in Financial Services."
Alex Merrick, Business Manager Financial Services -
"Rhys was brilliant. He was efficient and knowledgeable and by far the best Recruiter I have ever encountered. He listened to what I wanted and my experience and secured interviews with firms that fit my wants. He never distributed my CV to thoughtless firms and he seemed to genuinely care for my new role hunting. I couldn’t recommend Rhys more if I tried. I hope I never have to use him again, but if I do, I wouldn’t think twice."
Rhys Elliott, Senior Consultant Legal Private Practice -
"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 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 -
"Earlier this year I had the pleasure of dealing with Allison Marshall from IDEX Consulting with regard to a new opportunity/role.I had previously worked for a specialist insurer for 20 years, so this was always going to be an extraordinarily difficult and somewhat brave move for me.Allison was absolutely fantastic in supporting me throughout the process. I cannot express just how brilliant Alison has been both in presenting the opportunity, supporting me through the recruitment process, and indeed afterward.I am pleased to report I am doing really well in my new job and the opportunity was everything Allison said it would be. I am absolutely confident in the decision made and I would like to express my sincere thanks to Allison and the IDEX team for their professionalism and support throughout."
Allison Marshall, Client Partnership Director General Insurance -
"I have worked with Ian for a good part of 2022 on a collaborative project to recruit high quality candidates for vacancies at NIG. I value the pace at which Ian works, as we both recognise that this is important within the current climate and there is no room for unnecessary delays. Ian is hungry for business, seeks to genuinely understand the role he is looking to place a candidate into, and is honest when he feels someone may not be the right fit. All qualities of a successful recruitment partner. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Ian again on a similar project, or to recommend him to anyone else."
Ian Kennelly, Regional Manager General Insurance -
"Both Jayne and Lisa were fabulous, they were clear and supportive all the way through, and helped me negotiate through a very new experience. I had been in my previous company for 23 years so it was a daunting experience to look elsewhere and take that lunge. Jayne and Lisa were both knowledgeable and really considerate of how I felt through the whole process. Making it simple and as stress free as possible. I couldn't compliment them both anymore and have already recommended them to friends and colleagues as people to go to if they decide to move."
Lisa Williams, Client Delivery Manager General Insurance -
"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 -
"Michelle is my go-to recruiter, she delivers honest and clear advice on candidates. Her approach is one that works for us and I have been lucky to have her recruiting for my team over the past 5 years, she recruits my team and as we grow, she will continue to do so for us and the wider business. She is an absolute star and we have consistently turned down any approaches from other recruiters because her practical, professional, and personal approach is unrivaled. Also, she absolutely makes me laugh!"
Michelle Paish, Business Manager General Insurance -
"Ashlea recently placed me for a role within the Employee Benefits industry and I cannot speak highly enough of how helpful Ashlea has been throughout the process. She really took the time to understand what role would be best for me based on my experience and always acted in my best interests which was a refreshing approach in a competitive industry. From start to finish she checked in with me to keep me updated at all stages and ensured that I was fully prepared for my interview. Certainly the best I have worked with to date and would highly recommend to anyone within the Employee Benefits industry that is looking for a new role."
Ashlea Walton, Client Director Financial Services -

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 -
“A few months ago, we recognised the need for a Marine business development manager for the USA, recruiting and retaining producers for our business, and we set Drew the task of finding the right individual.In no time at all, Drew presented us with 7 high quality candidates, all of whom would have done justice to the role.During the process, it became clear that the position was really a 2 person role and Drew quickly adapted to the new circumstances. This did mean that one of the positions would not be quite as attractive to the candidates, but Drew quickly understood what needed to be done and in no time we had interviewed and recruited the people we needed.Drew’s work didn’t stop there, however. With all offers of employment come questions, obstacles and, inevitably with this calibre of candidate, counter offers and alternative persuasions. Drew dealt with all this for us and has now delivered 2 high quality individuals who will be committed to our business.We can’t speak highly enough of Drew.”
Drew Crawford, Business Director Marine/Transportation -
"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 -
"Meena has recently assisted me in finding my current role. Her knowledge and professionalism are exceptional, not to mention her invaluable support and sound advice in every stage of the process. I cannot recommend Meena enough."
Meena Bahanda, Business Director and Head of Legal recruitment for Scotland -
"The process was very easy and 'pain free.' From our initial conversation, my needs were understood and the job I have now is so much better than I thought I could be in. I would like to thank you for helping me and finding me a role that has made my work life balance easier."
Connie Nimmo, Consultant Legal Private Practice -
"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 -
"Meena helped place me in my current role in 2021. The service she provided was professional and personal from start to finish. I felt that she really understood what I was looking for. The after care service was also appreciated; we're still in touch and I was so grateful for her support while I was starting in the new role. I would recommend her without a doubt."

"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 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."
Adam Burns, Client Director General Insurance -
"It has been an absolute pleasure working with Matt. From the outset, he listened attentively to my personal and professional goals and took the time to understand what I was looking to achieve in my career, my timescales and the type of company I wanted to be a part of. I was extremely conscious of maintaining confidentiality and Matt understood my concerns and was supportive, which was very important to me. He remained on hand throughout the entire process and I felt he not only had my best interests at play but gave me fantastic, impartial advice. His employee – employer matchmaking expertise is second to none and this has been evident with feedback internally. I wouldn’t work with anybody else. I am very thankful I chose Matt with my career move and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."
Matt Green, CEO IDEX -
"Well first and foremost, for me, was the ease and simplicity of the whole recruitment process. To which I would again take this opportunity to thank you for. From initial direct approach and to the job offer, you have provided invaluable help & support, even when I thought I had messed up the second interview. I am struggling to find any areas that could have been improved upon. I even appreciate the joke when you called with the job offer and I’m glad that you felt we had built up a relationship where you felt comfortable in pulling my leg (it would probably be something I would have done as well)."
Alex Callinan, Managing Consultant General Insurance -
"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 -
"I have worked with Ian for a number of years now and he is my ‘go to’ person for recruitments needs from junior, entry-level, right through to leadership roles. 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."
Ian Kennelly, Regional Manager General Insurance -
"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 -
"Whilst working with Alex, she has shown professionalism as well as a passion for not only SJL’s needs but also for the candidate’s best interests.

It has been a pleasure to work with IDEX and Alex and I look forward to continuing to work together in future. "

She fully understood and appreciated what I wanted in my career and acted in my best interests at all times. I would thoroughly recommend Emma to anyone looking change roles."
Emma Delli-Bovi, Business Director Legal Private Practice -
"Since her initial contact with us last year, Emma has very quickly become one of our top recruitment partners on the PSL by consistently providing us with top quality matches, across all of our departments. She has taken the time to get to know each of our areas and as a result is able to work with very little instruction and think outside the box when need be. She is just the right balance of friendly and professional. Truly a pleasure to work with."
Emma Delli-Bovi, Business Director Legal Private Practice -
"Emma helped to guide me through a relocation to a new city. She had a number of contacts which opened up some unadvertised roles for me to apply for. She really listened to and provided advice on my concerns, and was never pushy which I really appreciated. She had a friendly and positive approach which also took a lot of the stress out of the process!"

"I was exceptionally fortunate to have Jonathan as my recruiter in my recent experience relocating back to the Middle East. Jonathan was professional and most importantly very responsive. He kept me informed of developments regarding applications and interviews as soon as they occurred. This meant updating me via text, phone call or email nearly every day. Jonathan took the time to understand my career objectives, the type of firm I wanted to work for, the work I was keen to continue doing and the location I wanted to live in. By taking the time to understand my objectives Jonathan put me forward for positions that were most suitable. It was clear that Jonathan had existing relationships with Partners in high calibre firms and understood their needs as well. Jonathan therefore was uniquely aware of positions and opportunities. Jonathan was supportive and encouraging during the interview process and subsequent negotiations. I am now happy in my new position which I feel is a good fit for me both personally and professionally. I can highly recommend Jonathan to both clients and candidates as a leader in the region for recruitment."
Jonathan Turner, Executive Director Legal Private Practice -
"Jonathan has assisted us with the selection of candidates for a number of our more challenging roles and I have always found him to be highly customer centric. He is very diligent in his approach and is able to provide us with high calibre candidates quickly which helps us minimise the downtime we experience as a result of any turnover or growth. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan to others who require quality recruitment support."
Jonathan Turner, Executive Director Legal Private Practice -
"Jonathan is a consummate professional. He knows the Middle East market inside out and everybody involved in it. Jonathan's client care skills are second to none. He always made himself available for a conversation and happy to offer independent advice and tips about living in Dubai despite it not having any direct benefit to himself. Jonathan will be the first person I get in touch with should I look for a new challenge and he is my recommendation to anyone else looking for the next step up in their career."

"From start to finish my experience of working with Emma was first class. She was given a difficult task, that many other recruitment consultants couldn’t help with, but by using her excellent recruitment skills and by paying attention to detail she found the right candidate to match the profile I was looking for. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone."
Emma Delli-Bovi, Business Director Legal Private Practice -
"I contacted Jack to look at opportunities with local firms and he was fantastic exceptional from start to finish. He was proactive which is often not found with my recruitment agencies who just try and fill a job. Jack engaged me with several firms and kept close contact throughout. The icing on the cake was a good luck message on the day of my first new position. I'd highly recommend Jack to anyone seeking opportunities and also for any companies looking for suitable candidates. A little gem!”

"I have been dealing with IDEX for the last few years and they are one of the best recruitment consultancies I have ever dealt with. In what is a very competitive and cut throat industry, IDEX's professionalism shines through. My consultant immediately understands what type of staff I require, and only sends me CVs for people who can fit the role. Allied to this, they work hard to keep me informed of progress and are very personable to deal with."

From first contact until they successfully placed me into my new role, they constantly supported me in my application and provided me insightful and genuine feedback. They went above and beyond my expectations and what I have previously experienced from other recruiters and ensured that I was prepared for interviews and provided an approachable but professional service. The service is highly recommended to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares about your application.”

"I’ve known Alex for a number of years and have always found her professional and knowledgeable. She has a huge amount of expertise in the local insurance market and, less commonly, in my specific area of business too. I’ve not known her to push opportunities for the sake of it and, as a case in point, the role she brought to me was ideal and something of genuine interest. I have now been in my current job 3 months and am thoroughly enjoying it – many thanks to Alex and IDEX. I now wouldn’t consider dealing with another recruitment firm and I would highly recommend Alex to all candidates.”
Alex Callinan, Managing Consultant General Insurance -

"David and his team at IDEX have been instrumental in assisting our growth here at REG over the past 6-12 months. When I joined the business our recruitment strategy was rather archaic and costly, having discussed with David our plans I am pleased to say that he and his team not only delivered on all of our assignments at the highest level, but also in a cost efficient way where we received excellent service and market leading, diverse candidates across all hires. I could not recommend IDEX enough as a Business Partner, after all a business needs to have talent attraction at the core of their strategy"
