Testimonials

Chantel successfully placed numerous financial professionals into my team following a fairly significant restructure of the finance function. Chantel was very professional and personable at all times. More importantly, she paid great attention not only to the requirements of the roles but also to the personality traits and competencies we were looking for and as a result only presented candidates that she knew would 'fit' well into the organisation. I would have no hesitation in hiring Chantel again.

I had the privilege and pleasure to work with Chantel on successfully being placed in a C-suite role within a national retail organisation. Chantel is an unexpected breath of fresh air when it comes to getting to know my experience, skills, and leadership style. Chantel asked relevant and specific questions and took the time to listen to my responses. Chantel's interview style is relaxed and genuine, allowing me to be at my most authentic self. Throughout the recruitment process, Chantel kept me updated regularly and gave me ample opportunities to seek further clarifications between interviews. When it was time to make the difficult decision to leave my current organisation, Chantel was there to counsel and support me. Chantel is a role model when it comes to the business of talent search and acquisition.

Having engaged Chantel to assist with a recent permanent CFO mandate, her professional, friendly approach coupled with the ability to grasp our requirements meant we were presented an ideal candidate who has hit the ground running in our organisation. I look forward to working with her again.

I was a candidate helped by Chantel back in 2009 - after leaving Morgan Stanley I was looking for a new I-Banking or M&A role in London. Needless to say - those were very challenging times for the Industry. Chantel was extremely helpful and really dedicated herself to the search. Unlike some of the consultants she never tried to pigeon-hole or push me (usually those days Russian+IBanking meant Moscow-based positions) and really listened to what I was hoping for. Chantel was very reassuring and professional and in the end she was able to find me a perfect project-based position, which allowed me to weather the storm and gain new experience to finally transition to another bulge-bracket after a year of project work. She was also very helpful along the way of that project - helping to set up contractor's scheme, checking the payments etc. I strongly vouch for Chantel's dedication to candidate's needs, her professionalism, creative approach to non-standard recruiting situations and attitude. One of the very best recruiters I ever worked with!

I recently appointed Chantel to work on a permanent CFO requirement – her level of service and expertise were excellent. Chantel is very professional, yet personable; she listened to and evidently understood the requirements, nature, and urgency of the role, and was able to land a suitable candidate in record time. Chantel would regularly touch base throughout the recruitment process and was always transparent regarding potential leads and developments, or otherwise. I have worked with a number of recruiters over the years; Chantel has certainly been one of my most successful and positive engagements. Based on my own experience, I highly recommend Chantel.

Chantel is utterly professional, personable, and delivers results. I've known her for 10 years, and in that time have found her consistently a pleasure to work with.

Chantel has provided a best-in-class professional recruitment service to J Walter Thompson for 7 years. She has taken the time to understand the needs and culture of the business and department and build a long-lasting relationship that is of great benefit to us. She is a real pleasure to work with.

I've worked with Chantel for nearly 10 years in London and she has stood out for me by virtue of the fact that she actually really listens to a client's requirements for the role so that every CV she sends you know is going to be worth considering. In over 20 years of recruiting finance staff I have found Chantel to be almost unique in this regard.
