Elliot Marsh level and quality of service...
We utilised the services of Elliot Marsh to undertake an executive search for a Sales Director Designate. We recognised the need to strenghten the management and directional skillls within our sales team. We needed a right hand person (number 2) for our Sales Director with particularly strong leadership and team building skills.
Elliot Marsh were one of three companies we spoke to regarding our assignment. During our initial meeting with Elliot Marsh we were impressed by the work they had already undertaken prior to being assigned. They came armed with a Project Folder succinctly outlining the requirements we had expressed verbally. They had also gleaned a good understanding of our company structure, background and ethos from research undertaken.
Once assigned the remit they quickly provided details of candidates they felt matched our criteria plus other candidates to headhunt. Once agreed they outlined a timetable for the project to enable us to diarise and set aside sufficient time for interviewing and to keep the project on track. Elliot Marsh carried out personality profile assessments on suitable candidates and narrowed the selection down to three who most closley matched our role and skills requirements.
We were impressed by both the quality of candidates put forward for interviewing and their understanding, via Elliot Marsh of our role, requirements, culture and ethos. Once selected Elliot Marsh also assisted in negotiating the final package.
The candidate we employed demonstrated all the qualitities and skills we were looking for and has recently been promoted to Sales Director.
Elliot Marsh's terms and conditions were very clear from the outset, unlike many of their counterparts and they handled the assignment in a confidential, professional and timely manner. I would not hesitate to utilise their services again.
Head of Human Resources – Jane Stock
Having worked with Elliot Marsh for in excess of 5 years I have found them to be consistent, highly committed, professional and motivated recruitment company. Rhys and his team are always focussed on understanding the specific role requirements and providing quality candidates rather than the volume approach adopted by some recruitment consultancies. I have no hesitation in recommending Elliot Marsh as a well aligned strategic recruiter that delivers value for money and robust candidates time after time.
Head of Sales - Project Development – Ashley Malin
"I have been a customer of Elliot Marsh and Rhys Jones for probably ten years, while working for two different organisations. Rhys has excellent industry knowledge as a start point and is always able to provide good initial advice before recruitment activity is commenced. Once an exercise is underway I always feel that a lot of effort is being made to understand our role and then find suitable candidates. Rhys does not bombard me with CVs that are nowhere near the specification. Candidate reports are detailed and Rhys will always provide a balanced view as opposed to trying to 'sell' me a candidate."
Group Human Resources Director – David Evans
"Romec has employed several search consultants in recent years as the company has made the journey from public ownership to successful private FM services provider, but only recently came across Elliot Marsh by chance. That encounter, however, was to radically alter our perception of search consultants as we experienced, for the first time, an organisation that took the time to understand our business and therefore put our needs into relevant context. The speed of response, regular progress reporting and personalised service has been second to none, and they have successfully filled two senior posts with high calibre appointees in an impressively short timescale. So professional and complete has been the service they provide, that Elliot Marsh has truly earned preferred supplier status for our future recruitment needs."
HR & Organisational Development Director – Dave Bowen
"
Since forming the business in 2003 we have been successful in building the workforce of over 100 from personal contacts and industry knowledge. However the decision was made at the beginning of 2009 to move to the next phase of growth we should explore the use of a professional recruiter. Elliot Marsh have been known to me for a number of years as the best known recruiter in the Building and Energy Controls market.
After a series of meetings with my Co-Directors and Myself, Elliot Marsh gave us sufficient confidence to retain them to search on a particularly difficult to fill Regional Managers role. With excellent communication throughout the process we interviewed a shortlist of 3 candidates who met the profile. Although all showing qualities one applicant stood out that we felt met the skills and experience required, but also fitted our business culture.
6 months on the appointed individual is performing well. With the first search proving a success we had the confidence to instruct Elliot Marsh again on another challenging appointment.
I have no hesitation in recommending Elliot Marsh as an expert recruiter in the controls industry that identifies the best staff, whilst being a pleasure to work with.
In the event of a requirement to seek any further reference or clarify any point please do not hesitate to contact the writer directly.

"I am writing to say how pleased I was with the recent successful search assignment for a Business Development Manager - Large Drives.
"After spending a couple of months interviewing candidates from a number of agencies, we did not feel comfortable making an appointment. As a solution you proposed an industry search to find a selection of suitably qualified candidates."
"After a three week period you presented us with a thorough report detailing all people contacted and a shortlist of five candidates who met the specification from which we subsequently appointed."
"I would like to make particular reference to the report you produced. The report detailed who you had spoken with, where they worked and had comments attributed to each person. We found this information invaluable as not only did it give us confidence we were selecting the very best person in the country for the job, it also highlighted how we were viewed as employers from within specific organisations."
I would have no hesitation in using you again on similar assignments and recommending you as search specialists for the automation and drives industry."
