  • ​“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.”

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.”

Alison asked me a range of questions to get to know me, my strengths and my ambitions and then very quickly managed to short list a range of roles that all very much fit the profile I was looking for. 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.

  • "​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!"

I initially disregarded the suggestion, not being a fan of change or thinking I was the best candidate.

During each step of the process, I was kept well informed about the structure of the interviews, how I had come across, and more importantly, I had no doubt in my mind that I had someone fighting my corner at every opportunity. She understands the market, and took the time to discuss my needs while presenting opportunities that aligned with me.

Natasha was extremely helpful throughout the process and maintained regular contact with me, as well as the hiring company, to make sure everything was going smoothly.Starting a new job can be very stressful, but it was the opposite for me in this case - that was definitely due to Natasha's efforts and encouragement.

  • ​“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.”

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."

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 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."

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."

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.

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."

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.

Allied to this, they work hard to keep me informed of progress and are very personable to deal with."

  • ​"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.”

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"
