"Throughout the entire process, I have appreciated the level of understanding and clarity you have communicated regarding the role I applied for. Your knowledge of the company advertising the role was great, and the ability to transmit information on the specific projects and sections of the company I would be working with was very useful. In addition, you were consistent and clear with your communication - both verbal and email. Even though the process was muddled by my personal leave occurring in the middle, you were efficient in forwarding appropriate information and ensuring that I was 'up to the task'. I also greatly appreciate that you saw, from within my somewhat ambiguous CV, that I had the potential and skill set required for the role. Your support and confidence in my ability throughout has been great."

"Jack Whitley managed to find a position for me which matched my criteria very closely. He made a real effort to understand my personality, aspirations and skills. Jack made the whole process extremely painless, from start to finish, always making sure at every stage that everything was going to run smoothly. Not many agents go that far and therefore I would highly recommend working with Jack."

"Alec Laurie is a fine recruiter with a really positive attitude and he has a fantastic career ahead of him. Being more specific, I can think of two things that distinguish him from others. First, there's the way he likes to understand people. He picks up little snippets of information that he uses to build up an accurate idea of his candidates and their personal values. His catchphrase must be "That's twice you've used the word XXXXX in this conversation. Is that important to you?" I am so not surprised to find that he has a degree in psychology. He's truly fascinated by what makes people tick. Second, he has a "refuse to lose" mentality that means he will do absolutely everything he can to ensure that the people he puts forward for jobs end up getting them. After an interview, he'll have post mortem discussions with both the employer and the candidate and identify any good or bad points that have emerged at interview. He will then keep reminding both parties of the good points while looking for ways to allay concerns over the bad points."

"Strategic has helped me through my last career move by negotiating with my new employer and securing a position for me. Strategic showed dedication and professionalism throughout the entire process and went out of their way to make me feel like a valued candidate as opposed to just another CV they were dealing with. I would most definitely recommend Strategic to any Company seeking to recruit staff and to candidates looking for help with their next career move."

"Sophie Johnson of Strategic Exec has been instrumental in placing me in rewarding employment. Recognising that my extensive experience in directing Building Schools for the Future project made me suitable for a number of senior roles, her perceptive analysis of my skills and her careful positioning of my candidacy has put me in a strong position in a number of job applications. She successfully placed me in my current role as Project Director for Thurrock Council. Sophie presents herself clearly and interestingly, communicating well whether face to face, on the telephone or in writing. She is persistent, always polite and concise. I have been pleased to recommend her as an agent to several senior business colleagues.
