“Chloe was a pleasure to work with – she took the time to come in, meet with me face to face and to understand what we were looking for. While she bought a number of CVs with her, she realised that a number of them weren’t right and didn’t trouble me with them. Her shortlist was spot on, and either candidate would have been suitable. Our new recuit fits in perfectly with the team and has put us to shame with her knowledge and enthusiasm! Thanks very much – Bruckshaw’s will be my agency of choice going forward”
Marianne Davis, Head of Partnership Finance, St James Place Plc
“Your help, once again, in securing a candidate has been immense. I reiterate comments that I have made in the past insofar that you guys are without doubt the most engaging, the most understanding of my needs and without doubt, simply the best hands down, in terms of any agency relationship I have ever had!”
Paul Adamson – Business Accounting Manager- Ecclesiastical Insurance Group
“I have used Clare to recruit for 3 seperate positions in the last 12 months and have always found her to be exemplary in her approach, very professional, honest and easy to deal with.
On each occasion Clare has taken the time to really understand the specifics of the role, the type of candidate that we were looking for and the relevant skills, experience and personal qualities that would suit. The direct result of this attention to detail is that Clare has always been able to provide CVs for those candidates that are directly suitable for the role.
The quality of the candidates that we have seen has always been high and is indicative of Bruckshaw’s well deserved reputation in the local market.”
Tom Wood – Financial Controller, Masstock Arable UK Ltd
“Kat Paterson-Browne provided an extremely professional and helpful service to us this time. She really listened to what we wanted and gave us some excellent candidates. She was efficient without being pushy, which is a refreshing change from some of the other agencies that contact me!”
Julia Power – Human Resources, Cheltenham College, Recruited a Finance & Payroll Manager – Sept 11
“Earlier this year I was searching for an Assistant Management Accountant for a year long maternity contract. I had interviewed several candidates to no avail and then I enlisted the help of Clare Shearer at Bruckshaw’s.
Clare listened to my requirements and understood exactly what I needed. She immediately furnished me with details of a select number of highly appropriate candidates and assisted with arranging interviews.
I am extremely happy to say that with Clare’s help I found my ideal candidate and he has settled in wonderfully bringing with him knowledge and experience which I have quickly come to rely on.
I shall definitely enlist Clare’s help again when I embark on my next recruitment campaign. I found her to be professional and efficient and am happy to say I am not harassed by her or her team which often is the case with recruitment agencies.”
Laura Bennett, Finance Manager, Ecotricity
“I write to offer my recommendation of Bruckshaws as a specialist recruitment consultancy, and specifically our primary contact, Clare Shearer.
I have been recruiting staff for 15 years across all areas of the UK, I have been genuinely impressed by the quality of support and focussed activity of Clare. The attention to detail and the determination to deliver is second to none, and this is matched by her obvious honesty and integrity.
Clare brings a high level of expertise in specialist Finance recruitment with excellent local candidate knowledge, ably demonstrated by the fact that she has recruited all 5 of my Finance staff from Financial Controller to Accounts Clerk. The reassurance this has given me has allowed me to leave finding candidates to Clare, while I focus on running my business”.
Simon Townsend – Managing Director at Towergate Bakers
“I have worked with Bruckshaws on numerous occasions they always listens to the skill sets required and provides a selection of capable candidates. I find the service to be professional, fast and friendly and have always been very pleased with the candidates placed.”
Belinda Bailiss – Financial Controller at Jockey Club Racecourses
“I have been impressed by the quality and responsiveness of the service provided by the staff at Bruckshaws. On two recent recruitments within a few days a short list of excellent candidates was presented which closely matched the job specification. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
Jonathan Harvey – Finance Director – Ultra Electronics – Electrics
“Bruckshaws were excellent. They understood the urgency, the type of staff we were looking for and acted swiftly keeping us fully informed of progress in arranging for candidates to come in for an interview. I was impressed by all the candidates I interviewed and all the candidates we took on from Bruckshaws stayed the course and have been permanent members of staff. Unfortunately not the case with one of the other recruitment agencies.
I was also pleased with the post recruitment service from Bruckshaws. They made regular contact for progress updates: to check all was going well with candidates and always offered assistance if needed.”
Nigel Hopkins – Cashiers, Customer Monies – Capita Financial Services
“As the leading publisher of local history books in the UK, we needed Bruckshaws to find an accountant who also excelled in written communication.
Not only did they rise to this challenge but their candidate was also the best prepared.
This is the second time in a couple of years that I have used Bruckshaws across two different companies, and I firmly regard them as the best independently owned specialist finance recruitment company in the area.”
Gareth Swain BA (Hons) ACA – Finance Director – The History Press
