Robert stands out as more than a typical recruiter. I wholeheartedly recommend Robert for any position that requires careful selection

When Robert first introduced Fitability to me, I initially dismissed it as just another buzzword. However, as we progressed through the recruitment process, my perception changed. Robert proved himself by successfully filling a director-level role for us. He not only delivered on his promises but also took the time to understand not only the necessary skills but also the personality traits essential for success in our busy creative agency. The candidates he presented were well-prepared, and any of them could have excelled in the position. Having options made the final decision challenging but rewarding.

Robert stands out as more than a typical recruiter chasing quick fees. His diligent preselection process ensured that only the most suitable candidates remained on the shortlist. I wholeheartedly recommend Robert for any position that requires careful selection.Furthermore, Robert’s bold claims about his skills are backed up by an unprecedented 100% guarantee. While it usually takes time to truly know someone in a new role, Robert’s assurance makes taking risks easier. The thorough vetting process he undertakes minimises any potential risks associated with filling the position.

I would highly recommend Robert for any recruitment challenge

Robert recently worked with us to secure the placement of a key member of our executive team.

Robert’s ability to quickly grasp the key attributes we were looking for and then research and recommend a shortlist of relevant candidate was highly impressive.

Once we had decided upon our final selection, Robert’s advice was invaluable throughout the interview process and it was obvious that Robert had taken the time to get to know each of the candidates before he shortlisted them to us.

In short I would highly recommend Robert for any recruitment challenge

100% recommend Robert to other companies who need senior hires that are business changing
Recruitment is consistently a challenge. We have had some epic fails along the way and wasted a lot of money. It was important to us that with this hire, we really tailored the approach and did the job properly.One of the biggest challenges is identifying whether candidates who look right on paper would fit within the culture of our team. Robert took that concern away.

We could have immediately hired two out of four shortlisted for the role and the other two were so good we found them other roles in the business.

The process was head and shoulders above any recruitment experience we've been through and the output backs this up.

I will always recommend Robert to other companies looking to hire senior talent
Robert was excellent at interpreting our needs and understanding exactly the type of person we needed to help take the business forward.

He always ensured our best interests were at heart, whilst also challenging us to think differently based on his in-depth briefing sessions.

I will always recommend Robert to other companies looking to hire senior talent and he will be my first call when we next need support too.

I liked your firm/direct approach, providing me with guidance where needed.
Robert goes about recruitment in a very different way to most recruiters. He spends a lot of time understanding the business and its people before looking to match the role to the right candidate.

He certainly took the pain out of the process and made hiring the right person for a senior role in the business very easy.

His firm, direct approach to finding the right individual, combined with the time and effort spent with each potential candidate, made it feel like we were working with an external consultant and not a recruiting agency

I really felt as though you were invested in the success of our agency
You spent a lot of time getting under the skin of the business, and rightly interrogated what we needed.

It was a very transparent process from start to finish
We used YOU search & select for the successful recruitment of our Client Relationship Director. This was a crucial position for us.

Robert took the time to understand not only the role and responsibilities, but also our agency, our culture, and our business priorities.

The initial process allowed us to refine the job description, so Robert had a clear picture of the person we were after.

The candidate selection was simple! Robert got all the CVs, interviewed all the candidates, and put forward the best.

I was impressed by how respectful he was of the agreed salary level - there were no surprises, no last minute negotiations, and no disappointments. It was a very transparent process from start to finish

The process was personal and absolutely hassle-free
We needed to be pushed and challenged in ways we hadn’t initially realised.Robert made sure we didn’t fall into our usual trap and worked with us to identify exactly what was needed.

The process was personal and absolutely hassle-free. We collaborated on the role itself and then were able to sit back while the candidates were presented. Every objective was achieved within the timeline agreed

Working with Robert is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual experience of recruitment agencies.

Working with Robert is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual experience of recruitment agencies.
He really spent the time to understand our company and why the role was needed before initiating the search. He also asked the right questions to understand our core values, which meant the candidates put forward were far more likely to be a match. The candidate filtering and summary documents Robert produces really saves our time and adds value to the process, and we ended up with a great result in terms of the final appointment. Whenever we have openings at the right level, we'll always be picking up the phone to Robert!
