I felt that you gave me as much information as was possible to give at all times about where we were in the process, next stages, expectations and even to a degree the level of competition. It was very helpful that you knew the firm in its players extremely well and that made a significant difference in the level of confidence in the interviews. You also always made me feel as if I were your only client, while also being honest about the other candidates that you had put forward. I am sure it is not an easy balance to keep but you manage it with style and apparent ease. I am impressed that the attention to detail and friendly and professional attitude was not limited to the senior consultants, but was present in all your staff who came in contact with me. Thank you for helping at every stage and making sure that any possible need was attended to straight away. To the point of looking up parking for me for when I start my new job.” |

| Harry contacted me in relation to the position of HR Privacy Manager at Barclays. I have always found Harry to be friendly yet professional. What has impressed me most about Harry, during this experience, is his efficiency and his drive to deliver. At each stage of
the recruitment process, he promptly sought feedback from both parties and ensured that I was always aware of Barclays' perception of me at that stage. Unlike other companies I have dealt with, Harry contacted me when he said he would and was available for discussion during some of the more stressful stages of this experience.

| “Ogilvie Search recently helped me recruit for a very niche role within my Privacy & Data Protection Team. I needed someone who focused on privacy issues relating to HR data. I appreciated that Ogilvie Search spent time with me understanding the role and my needs and then took considerable lengths to search for and assess suitable candidates and did not waste my time by sending through lots of irrelevant CVs. The candidates they presented to me were exactly what I was looking for. Ogilvie Search kept both me and the candidates well informed at all stages throughout the recruitment process and the candidates were always well briefed before attending interviews. They were instrumental in helping persuade the successful candidate to join us. They were professional, enthusiastic and very helpful throughout the process.” |
