Comments from our Permanent Clients

I would like to express my gratitude to Harris Hill recruitment for the excellent and highly professional service I have received when recruiting for Arthritis Research UK.

I can honestly say that I have never worked with such a professional agency before. My main contact is Johannes Strack and he consistently takes the time to understand the requirements and our organisation before sending across his selected candidate choices. With Johannes’ assistance we have been able to successfully appoint numerous candidates in the London area and the support doesn’t end there as Johannes is regularly in contact to ensure that all is going well, again a quality after service which I have never experienced before.

Harris Hill always spring to mind when I need assistance from an agency and this is a working relationship which I see continuing in the future as we expand our organisation.

Thank you Harris Hill for finally making working with an agency so simple and smooth, definitely 'service with a smile'.

Siobhan has always had a good understanding of our business and has consistently managed to fill difficult roles that we have struggled with in a timely and professional manner.

As an NGO we are naturally very conscious about incurring unnecessary costs, as engaging recruitment agencies to assist with recruitment may appear to be. However, we have, with the excellent assistance of Harris Hill, once again validated that using an agency has proven to be extremely efficient both in terms of rapidity with which we could recruit, as well as the high calibre of candidates presented to us. Our most recent experience with Harris Hill was certainly a challenging placement with a very tight deadline. We had approached a number of agencies just prior to the Christmas closing period and found Shiro's commitment to finding us the right candidates and fast certainly surpassed the service on offer from other agencies by a long way!

Harris Hill are a key Agency on Barnardo's Permanent PSL and Katie Gowers has consistently provided an excellent level of candidate for the roles she has supported our organisation with. She has a sound understanding of our organisation and delivers quality matches whenever support is requested.

I have worked with Harris Hill for several years and they are a permanent fixture on our preferred suppliers list. They always have high quality candidates and their consultants know instinctively what we are looking for in a temp or a permanent role due to their expertise and the time taken to get to know us as a client. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

Rachael is very professional and good to work with. She listened closely to the brief and the first CV that she emailed over proved to be the ideal candidate who was offered and accepted the job. Thanks Rachael, good work!

Harris Hill has provided us with several excellent employees over the last 12 months. Most recently we appointed a Head of Community and Events Fundraising and Senior Community Fundraising Officer through the agency - both have proved to be excellent new members of the team. Katie Gowers, our account manager, has always dealt with our requests in a very professional, helpful and efficient manner and so I would have no hesitation in recommending Harris Hill to others.

Harris Hill provide a professional reliable service and have helped us fill a number of niche roles. They understand our business and our ethos and they always provide an excellent selection of high calibre candidates to choose from. All those who we have appointed from HH have also been excellent fits culturally.

HH are on our preferred suppliers list and I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone.

I have worked with Rachael a number of times over the years when recruiting staff. Most recently she has helped me recruit two members of staff with specialist charity experience. Throughout Rachael has worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to identify just the right people to fill quite difficult roles. She is a great communicator and I felt in control of the process throughout. Her devotion to client services extends post recruitment when I know she keeps in contact with the candidates as well as me to ensure it is all working out well. I have no hesitation in recommending her

My team and I have worked with Harris Hill for over four years, and Samarians even longer as the relationship is one I’m very pleased to have inherited when I joined Samaritans in 2008. The level of service Harris Hill provides us with is excellent; they are by far our favoured recruitment agency and have an excellent understanding of our organisation. They undoubtedly have the highest success rate in placing candidates with us, particularly at a specialist or senior level. Having dealt with many recruitment agencies and recruitment consultants over the years I would personally recommend the services of Anton Packheiser and Alexandra Kurn who are extremely good at what they do and lovely to work with. As a department we get bombarded with calls from recruitment agencies however Harris Hill seem to have a different ethos to all the agencies I’ve worked with in the past, they do not have a high pressure sales approach and are much more consultative which works extremely well.

Harris Hill are always the first recruitment agency we contact when we have a new vacancy and I would highly recommend them.

I have worked with Emma both as a candidate looking for work and as an employer looking to recruit for a position. As a candidate working with Emma was fantastic - she asked the right questions of me and the employer and was able to direct and support me through an intense recruitment process. Her feedback was invaluable and I cannot thank her enough. As an employer looking to recruit for a position Emma was equally supportive, understanding exactly the skills we need to fill the position, providing quality candidates, and ensured a smooth process throughout. I would always recommend working with Emma and feel lucky to have been able to do so myself on several occasions. Most of all I really enjoy and like working with Emma both as a candidate, and a client.

Rachael is very professional and good to work with. She listened closely to the brief and the first CV that she emailed over proved to be the ideal candidate who was offered and accepted the job. Thanks Rachael, good work!

With Emma the recruitment process for my new job was both highly successful but also a pleasure. She really understood the role and was able to support me brilliantly in my preparations for each interview. I found her easy to work, friendly, personable whilst also being very professional. Emma also handled the negotiations when I accepted the job with confidence and diplomacy so that I got the right deal but all on good terms. I have particularly appreciated her positive feedback and continued support since I've secured the position. I would thoroughly recommend Emma as a skilled recruitment agent, and when the need I arises I won't hesitate to contact her when I have to recruit in my new position.
