Client Testimonials

I cannot sing the praises of Amanda highly enough. She is the ultimate professional who closely listens to truly understand her clients brief and identify their real need. She invests herself in ensuring delivery of an outstanding candidate list and over delivers on what she promises. And she does all this with professionalism, charm, dedication and a great sense of humour.
When you need the right solution fast, she cuts through to get you the result you want. Amanda is one of the best recruiters I've worked with.

Roisin Rooney - Global Chief People Officer - DDB Worldwide

I’ve worked with Amanda for the past 15 years. She's an exceptional recruiter and head-hunter. Amanda knows the industry incredibly well and is one of the most connected people I've come across in terms of her bandwidth and candidate pool. She takes time to interrogate the brief and always comes forward with interesting and well thought out candidates.
Amanda has also helped me in my career search, securing my role at Engine and then again recently at Journey HR.
She's also just a fab human being, genuinely caring and down to earth. Great to work with!
I can't recommend her enough.

Jess Anderson - Ramshall - HR Director - JourneyHR

If you're looking for an expert HR/people recruiter that delivers results, hire Amanda, she delivers!

I engaged Amanda's services on the back of a strong recommendation. Recruitment consultants and agencies can be so hit or miss, but I have to say Amanda leads the pack when it comes to service, professionalism and delivering results. From the moment we began working together, I knew I was with one of the best.

Amanda took the time to really understand the business and the role we were looking to fill. As a result, our job application received an overwhelming response from the talent market; some 500 applicants for the role! But what's even more impressive is the fact that Amanda took all the hard work out of finding suitable candidates and from what I have learned from speaking to various candidates during interview, the candidates that she works with are equally full of praise.

At the outset of our engagement on this project I gave Amanda the challenge of giving us a delicious problem; which candidate to pick from a stellar bunch? As has been the case throughout our work, she delivered on that in spades. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Peter Lewis - Global CPO - SuperNova Games

Amanda helped place me in my current role and I can honestly say that the whole experience, end to end, was a breath of fresh air. She takes time to really understand your skills and experience but places equal value on the type of role and organisational culture you are looking for. By doing so, she found the perfect role for me in every respect. Amanda is really professional and extremely genuine. She is passionate about what she does and you feel as if you have known her for years after your very first conversation!
Throughout the whole recruitment process she provided lots of encouragement and support. But it didn’t end when I started in the role. She has kept in touch to see how I have been getting on and is genuinely interested. It was a great candidate experience for me and I would have no hesitation in working with her again either as a recruiter or as a candidate. Thanks Amanda!

Collette Ambrose - Head of HR - the Football Assocaiation

Amanda recently hired an HR business partner for me in New York, and did a fabulous and very meticulous job in finding a candidate who came with all the skills and qualities I'd been hoping for, and more. Amanda provides a very thorough and professional service, she really worked hard to understand the role, our company culture, and was very diligent in screening candidates. She worked really quickly, with an "always on", very agile approach. I would definitely recommend Amanda as a hiring partner.

Heather Saville-Gupta - SVP People & Culture - BritBox International (BBC Studios)

I have worked with Amanda for a number of years and she is always my "go to" person for all HR talent both in the UK and Internationally. She knows the market, understand clients needs and treats candidates with respect and care.
And on top of all of that she is just a joy to work with - honest and pragmatic with a sensible approach to all her work. I just wish more recruiters could be like her.

Candidate testimonials

Amanda is a top notch recruiting professional. I've worked with a lot of recruiters both on the business side as well as the applicant side and she was one of the best I've encountered. She was thoughtful, prompt, patient, kind, and so helpful during each step of the process. She made the candidate experience a very pleasant one.

Yana Ovshey - Senior HR Leader

Amanda is great. She is my go to when I am looking for a new role or when I need insight into the HR market - she has excellent knowledge and understanding of HR and is incredibly well connected. She is always pragmatic and honest, she gives straight forward advice and feedback, and is a pleasure to deal with.

Alice Finney - Head of HR

I have known Amanda for nearly 10 years and she has helped me to recruit HR professionals a number of times. What sets Amanda apart from others is her desire and ability to dig deep to understand not just the role you are hiring for but also your company values, ambitions, culture, environment and team. This means Amanda really does know exactly who you are looking for, meaning she only introduces you to candidates who are an excellent all round fit, making the recruitment process simple, quick and enjoyable. Amanda is clearly an experienced and knowledgeable recruiter who is genuinely keen to help and support in ways that go beyond the immediate hiring need. Trustworthy and great company, I always feel in very capable hands.

Andrew Graham - M&A Integrations Consultant

I've known Amanda in a client capacity for a number of years, during which time she's managed to magic up various, strong candidates (up to and including HRD level), all of whom I'm delighted to say are still at the company they were hired into. I like how Amanda has challenged my thinking in terms of profile I need vs what I think I need, and I'm happy I listened to Amanda in each case.

Latterly, Amanda has been great counsel to me personally in my own job search, coaching me through critical decisions on how I want to position myself, personal brand, sector focus and getting me to think about setting myself apart from similarly experienced candidates in a highly competitive market. I would certainly use Amanda in future companies to outsource career readiness coaching to, as I believe it's where her passion and skillset truly lies.

James Howarth - Global Transformation & Change leader

Amanda is a knowledgeable expert and overall lovely and sincere person. I have worked closely with her when she was recruiting for a position that she put me forward for. During the recruitment campaign she was so supportive and involved in my preparation. She really helped me see the value that I bring and built my confidence. Since then, we have become well acquainted and keep in touch with life and career updates. She has even given me a bit of career coaching just out of the kindness of her heart for other roles I have applied for that she wasn’t even recruiting for, just because she wanted to help me land my dream role. She is such a genuine and hardworking person. She knows her stuff and I recommend her with everything I’ve got!

Hannah Kageson-Loe - ER Professional

I’ve known Amanda over the years, and she is a breath of fresh air. She takes time to understand you as a person and by doing this has developed a great instinct for placing you in a role and environment in which you can thrive. Amanda placed me in my current role and the experience was seamless with regular communication and checking-in throughout, which has continued. Whether you are a candidate looking for a new role or a business looking for a recruiter, I couldn’t recommend Amanda highly enough.

Joyce Idoniboye - Chief People Officer

Amanda was great in helping me find my new role with a Media Company! She was very communicative during the whole interview process and really assessed to make sure it was the right fit for both me and the company. I would definitely work with Amanda in finding your next opportunity!

Mitra Shalfaroosh - People & Culture Partner

Without doubt, Amanda is the best recruiter I have worked with. From the first interaction when I applied to one of her roles, through to completing my first week in that role, Amanda found that wonderful balance of personable and interested, while being professional and thorough.

Sometimes there is a stronger emphasis on the client needs, but my own experience with her was as important throughout. Having been offered the role was the icing on the cake, but regardless of that result, it was a really great end to end experience - thank you Amanda!

Phoebe Lajtha - Head of People

I have known Amanda for many years now, and more recently reconnecting with her has been a breath of fresh air. Not only does she have an amazing network of clients, she also takes time to understand you as a candidate. Taking considered approach to understand your personal goals, desired work culture and working style. With that being said, Amanda isn't a recruiter just putting people into roles to tick a box, she works hard to make sure she finds the right place and role for you and also ensure it is a great fit for the employers she works closely with. It has been a pleasure working with her and a dream to have her place me at some amazing opportunities you just won't find elsewhere. I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough, and if I am ever on the market for roles again, I can't imagine myself working with any other recruiter.

Eunice Aneno - People Operations Lead

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Amanda as a candidate in these strange a troubling times. Her guidance and communication were top notch! Her support was key to me being successful in securing my most recent role.

Ben Hall-Roberts - Global HR Operations Director

Amanda is without a doubt a professional, profound and a hands-on recruiter. Amanda was very quick to recognise my skills and experience and indeed the type of role I was looking for. She never failed to communicate with me and not only to discuss opportunities, but just to check in. I am super grateful for finding Amanda in a very crowed market, she invested a lot of time in me as I know she would have done with her other candidates, and best of all, she’s an absolute lovely person, brilliant personality, full of great energy and praise.

Amanda made me feel just as important to her, as her client. She is a real diamond! She has outstanding marketing knowledge and really gave me so much confidence. Thank you Amanda for being an utterly brilliant recruiter and making my candidate experience an enjoyable one!

Holly Holman - HR Director

Amanda is one of those rare people who start off as a professional contact but quickly becomes a trusted friend. She is what I would describe as a force of nature. Over 15 years Amanda has helped me as a candidate and as a provider. The best thing is that she always cares about getting you the right candidate when you are looking for somebody, and getting you a great company when you are personally searching for your next role. She always spares her time for you whether you are up or down. And you always get the sense that she just enjoys helping and making a difference. So if you just want another role filled without any smiles, extra support, coaching or real advice, then don't contact Amanda. If you would like to fill that vacancy with exactly the right candidate and genuinely enjoy every conversation, then please drop her a message.

Ed Sutton - Senior Global HR Business Partner

It's usually a different experience when the client becomes the candidate, thankfully not this time. I have been fortunate to work with Amanda over a number of years and I have always chosen to work with her as I felt she treated the candidates we met the same way we, as a company, would want them to be treated.
I found myself looking for a role, post maternity leave and anxious about what was out there for me and if I would find the right next move. I felt like I was pestering her at times as I was anxious and admittedly not the most patient person, but not at any point did she ever make me feel like I was a burden. I have never felt so supported and guided through a process, knowing that she listened to me to ensure I found the right role. It just confirms my thoughts that Amanda really does treat candidates and clients so well. She is honest, supportive and genuine and I feel fortunate to have worked with her as she has found me the perfect next role.
Thank you!!
