Client Testimonials

The recruitment process can be a very time consuming, especially if the agency does not have the focus on delivering high calibre candidates at short notice and with the skill set we look for. Freshfield Services (Daniel) were able to provide me with that high calibre individual very promptly and without me having to spend time going through numerous CV’s. My first call when recruiting next will be Daniel at Freshfield Services. — Steve Prior

Daniel at Freshfield Services understands the SI and Outsourcing market and this makes it far simpler to find the high standard of individual we require. Recruiting the right individual can sometimes take a while but whilst using Daniel and Freshfield Services it was easy as they understand the business and importantly the culture. Any ICT organisation that is looking to hire a senior individual should consider using Freshfield Services. — Mike Hoare

Working with Andy has been a rewarding experience.

Melvin has recently supported me with the identification and recruitment of three top individuals. Melvin has been great to work with, diligent committed and totally focused on delivering the right result. — Tony Cooper

Melvin is a great person to have on your team whether you are hiring, looking for a new move or something a bit more creative to build out teams.

In summary a person I would happily work with again and recommend to collegues and clients. A great guy. — Fazul Ali

I have worked with Freshfield Services on a number of assignments over the last two years, in particular in establishing the Major Deal Team for Siemens IT Solutions and Services. Melvin and his team outperformed against expectation and against the targets we set. They have delivered excellent candidates in Sales, Pursuit, Programme, Transition and other roles. I am happy to make this endorsement several months after the last candidate started with us, and we are now enjoying the fruits of our labours. — Ian Taylor

Candidate Testimonials

Most of us find it difficult to locate a Recruiter that can look beyond our last role and explore future posibilities based on our previous experiences. Daniel has this skill. Personable, with an expert knowledge of the industry Daniel has proved to be true to his word in identifying a company that is an ideal match for my requirements, without the need for compromise. I would recommend Daniel to anyone looking to explore new opportunities in a challenging market. — Ian Campbell

Daniel is a highly professional and exceptional recruiter. He is one of the most focused and successful consultants I know.

Andy was recommended to me by a senior VP from IBM Global Services who was a colleague. I was immediately impressed by Andy because he wanted to meet and also checked out my provenance with former clients and colleagues following our meeting before speaking with potential firms. Andy has a great network at very senior level. When I spoke to the CEOs and Partners of firms he was working with the thing that came across was that Andy has actually met with them face to face before I had been interviewed – they were hugely impressed by his engagement with their firm and that he was truly part of the process and not just the messenger. My particular challenge has been moving a small team of experts in the financial services / tech space who have a real vision of changing the marketplace – Andy spent time listening and understanding our vision, challenging us and engaging with us before suggesting options and introductions. Andy brings vigour and enthusiasm together with deep subject matter knowledge of both management consulting and financial services in a way that few but the really senior head hunters bring. I know from my network of senior colleagues who have or are engaged in either searches or are themselves searching that Andy and his firm are absolutely at the top of this list of firms to work with and speak to in terms of quality, talent and ethics and would unreservedly commend Andy and Freshfield amongst the premier tier of headhunting and talent recruitment firms. Also as a person he’s a really good chap who is both hugely bright and very honest. — David Von Ackerman

Julian is one of the best recruiters I have come across. He is extremely focussed and diligent for the clients he represents, and is one of a select few recruiters who maintain a very proactive and effective communication channel with candidates. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julian and Freshfield Services to anyone seeking their next career move. — Sukhvinder Dhat

I can’t speak highly enough of Doug and the team at Freshfield. They differ from the normal mould of high-end recruiters in that they have a small, select group of Top Tier companies for whom they recruit and they all have ‘real’ long term and succesful relationships within these companies.

Having spent a couple of hours in their office, we whiteboarded my skill-set, track record and what the short-medium-long term looked like and agreed what the right role would look like. The chaps spent the next hour putting names on the board and trying to find the company which fitted not just the easy things around Job Title, Salary etc but really importantly looked at the right type of culture for me, what the leadership team’s style was like, the shape of the team currently in place.

This resulted in 1 very specific target company and an smooth interview process where both I and my new employers had common ground – we’d met through Freshfield who I was pleased to hear “means we know you’re one of the good guys”. Love the new job, importantly love the company I work for and couldn’t recommend Freshfield highly enough. — Dave Tilbury

Lee approached me regarding a hybrid role at a time when I was tentatively looking for a new position. After a thorough discussion about what I was looking for, he mentioned an opportunity to me. A few interviews later I was delighted to be offered the position. Lee is a great person to deal with, not only does he take the time to understand you on a personal level but also understands his area of recruitment extremely well. These qualities enable Lee to find vacancies that match your requirements exactly. Lee’s honest approach and subject matter expertise enable him to be at the top of his game. I would highly recommend Lee and would always contact him for any future recruitment requirements. — Caroline Wake
