CLIENTS & CANDIDATES HAVE THEIR SAY

“Sarah has played a critical role in identifying exceptional talent for my team and is a highly valued sounding board for what is happening in the PR industry. She is a pleasure to work with and someone who truly understands what her clients need and how she can deliver the maximum impact!“

“Other agencies struggled to deliver the calibre of candidates we required for this brief. We met with some impressive candidates from The Works. We are pleased with our choice, The Works not only delivered, they were efficient, delivered on time and easy to work with.“

“Sarah is the best recruitment specialist in her field. She is very professional and goes to great lengths to not only get the best placement for her clients, but to get the absolute best for each individual lucky enough to get on her books. She works hard to understand how you have developed over recent years and what your best next move will be. Sarah gives numerous background briefings, information and support every time you have contact with a potential employer. She is a first class advisor who understand people and gives the best support and encouragement. She gives honest advice and is not in the least self serving. She wants the best outcome for all parties involved - never just a quick deal. I thoroughly recommend Sarah and her amazing team at The Works. Going through a recruitment process can be difficult and daunting. Sarah and her team making it smooth and enjoyable.“

“Sarah and I had worked together for a number of years at a previous role where she helped me hire large numbers of exceptional candidates. So, when an impossible-to-fill role came up, I knew just who to call! We hired Sarah and her team on a retained basis and went through a pretty painless process to find and hire exactly what we were looking for.“

“During the Covid Lockdown working with The Works was a blend of reassuring guidance, helpful feedback and solid timely communication.  I benefitted from their experience, deep understanding of my prospective employer’s needs and their expectations for the future role.

The team were proactively on hand to help me prepare for all the calls. Going through the basics, as well as more technical aspects too. The interviews were managed by the team well and I felt confident ahead and during the call. I was given helpful feedback throughout the whole process, given the situation, it was handled very smoothly and professionally.”

“If I would use one word to describe Sarah, it’s thorough. Nothing is left to chance - candidates will feel like they are properly prepared before any interview stage - Sarah does not hold back in giving feedback on their strengths, and critically, the things they need to work on. I would recommend her without hesitation.”

“Sarah is extremely professional and takes an active and keen interest in her candidates, their skills and what expertise they can bring to the role. She has a thorough understanding of what the role entails and is therefore able to perfectly match the correct candidate.“

“Sarah and her team are great to work with. Unlike many recruiters who simply want to just find a candidate for the role, Sarah goes the extra mile to find the right fit. Work is a huge part of anyone’s life and being in the right or wrong job has a big impact on happiness, so this a much better approach, and means that businesses are much less likely to be recruiting again in the short-term. Also was great at pushing the process along from a HR POV, which often needs a little nudge to get moving.“

In my career I have often been frustrated when working with consultants that did not take the time to properly listen to what I was looking for, or understand my personal attributes / experience. I have worked with Sarah for a number of years now and from the outset she had a very good handle on what I could offer, perhaps better than I myself do. In one particular instance, she convinced me to interview for a role that I was unsure of. Sarah made me see that it would be the right fit for me and I ended up staying in the role for a number of years. I can't recommend working with her enough.

“Sarah helped me find a job in asset management. Sarah is very well connected and extremely experienced. She gave excellent support all the way through the process - from tips on improving CV to advising on every round of interview.“

“When I decided to look for a new opportunity, I made the decision to work solely with The Works, as I wanted to engage with one agency who would work with me to find the right position. Sarah took the time to listen to my background and career goals in order to identify specific opportunities that would be relevant to me. Their professional and tailored approach meant I was confident throughout the process that not only would I find the right opportunity – and I did within a matter of weeks. I would highly recommend The Works to anybody who is looking for a senior position with PR and communications, as they have an enviable contact book and a very strong reputation.“

“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has real knowledge of the marketplace and gave me some really valuable advice and guidance. She really tries to match candidates with jobs that will suit them, which sets her apart, as does her very hands-on and personal approach. I would highly recommend The Works Search on the back of my experience.“

“Sarah and her team at The Works have been invaluable supporters of DRD as we have grown over the past five years. Sarah takes time to understand exactly what our needs are and has helped us find talent at every level of the firm”

“Sarah has not only helped me find a fantastic role but also provided a lot of career advice and guidance. Her passion, honesty and expertise are incredible, and you can truly tell she cares about finding the right opportunity for the candidate, ensuring they are a good match for the role and the company. She is a great advisor and an incredibly professional and experienced recruitment expert. Thank you!”

“For two roles, we only had to meet four people, and hired two of them!”.

“Sarah took the time to understand our business and the profile of the candidate we were looking for. Her experience and industry knowledge meant that she was able to offer insights into the job market and what we could expect from our brief. The shortlist was concise and each of the candidates were a credible fit. Using Sarah for our search meant that our recruitment process was incredibly time-efficient and well managed. We would definitely use The Works Search for future hires.”
