Candidate Testimonials

From some of placements we have made across the Media Agency industry.

“

I've had the pleasure of working with Alex on both sides of the fence, as a candidate & more recently as a hiring manager. He's smart, responsive and proactive, all of which were why I'd reconnected with him in my new role. He'll always be one of the go-to recruiters I'll chat with first.

Alex was an incredible support during my job search, and pushed me to truly consider what was important in my next role before bringing me a variety of fantastic options. Throughout the process, he was always available, supportive and transparent, which put me at ease during the interview process, and really helped me secure the right role and package that is pushing my career forwards. On top of all that, he's a great guy and it's a pleasure every time we catch up. One of the best around!

I spoke to a few recruiters when I first moved back to London and was looking for a role. Alex was hands down the most proactive, professional and, most importantly, FUN person to work with. He was very honest and transparent about the roles and offered me sage advice that put me in great stead. The majority of my team were also recruited by Alex, and I know these sentiments are reflected by them too. I cannot say enough good things about Alex, both personally and professionally - 10/10 would recommend.

Alex found me my current role and he’s been excellent at helping me realise what I wanted out of my next position and aligning it with available roles. Very personable and knows the industry inside out. I can’t recommend Alex enough, he’s great at what he does.
