Senior HR Manager, UK HQ of American Technology Company
"Although the total cost of this hire was greater than we originally planned, the resulting savings we hope to achieve from having this new member on our team will likely see us paid back within three months of his hiring.
I would not hesitate to recommend using Specialist Search, and we have already passed several more positions to Jeff and his team to source for us."

"We asked Specialist Search to help us find a highly experienced PFI Commercial and Project Manager. We weren't certain where this candidate would come from, because we had already used several recruitment agencies to find us high calibre candidates from some of our competitors. In fact, we had already offered the post to one of them but withdrew the offer because the references we took were not to our standard.
When I met with Jeff Ziegler, CEO of Specialist Search, he made no promise of finding the ‘perfect’ candidate, or even that he could find what we needed, but he sensed the urgency of our requirement, he took time to understand our business and our processes, and he set out to find us some candidates – possibly from outside our normal channels.
Within two weeks, Jeff produced a short-list of two very diverse individuals, both fitting the profile in terms of experience and personality. We interviewed them both and hired the person we felt was the best candidate for the job. This candidate started in April, and by mid-May had helped us achieve significant cost savings on a critical PFI project in Manchester."
