"Just a quick THANK YOU for helping me find an absolutely fantastic new position in an equally fantastic new company! From your first telephone call to discuss different opportunities, you made me feel confident that you would be able to place me in the right position. You listened to my needs and always offered advice when needed. The interview prep I received from you was so encouraging and positive which definitely made all the difference! I found the whole experience of finding a new position a pleasurable one thanks to you.

Again, thank you for all your motivation and positive feedback. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone looking for a new job!"
Jolene Laureau, Consultant, Maine-Tucker Recruitment

"I was extremely impressed with the recruitment process and the level of service that I received from Jo Palmer and Heywood Associates. Jo found time to work around me and as soon as the registration was complete I had job ideas within a week. Interviews were set up with some of the best recruitment consultancies in London. The process was smooth and I was given plenty of interview preparation. Within a month I had a job offer and had handed in my notice with previous employers. I have now been with Crone Corkill for a month and have received a great standard of aftercare from Jo. Thanks to Jo and Heywood Associates for finding me my perfect role."
Jodi Hogg - Consultant, Leading Secretarial Consultancy

"During my recent career search, I assumed my future employment would be secured by myself and not a 'rec-to-rec' recruiter. Phil Han from Heywood was recommended as a fall-back option to my search.
Throughout our discussions (including Phil travelling to meet me in Clapham!), I found his input to be commercial, insightful and objective. Not only did he place me, he will undoubtably prove a valuable consultant to operate on the 'other side of the desk' on my behalf. Job well done, Heywood!"
Jonathan Jones - Senior Finance C&I Manager, FSS International

"I dealt with a few consultants during my job search but Heywood were the only one that really showed genuine concern for me as a candidate. I was impressed by their knowledge of the market and their extremely professional and honest approach. I was particularly amazed by the fact my Consultant Phil Han managed to arrange five interviews for me within less than two days! I really appreciated their thorough guidance and the consistent communication we've had all along my search. I only wish that the every day dealings with people could be this pleasurable."
Isabelle Cailler - Consultant, Walker Hamill

"We have used Heywood Associates for several years for recruiting
consultants and resourcers. Over the years, their service levels have
been consistently high, providing sound impartial advice during the
recruitment process. They have found us some very good people. They have
been flexible enough to adapt to our changing business needs. Our
current consultant, really is a good recruitment partner. "
Sheldon Paule, Chief Executive, Cameron Kennedy

"Heywood Associates provide a genuinely consultative approach in the recruitment to recruitment arena - their consultants listen to our requirements and deliver to us candidates who have the "right" skill set and who fit culturally. I would have no hesitation in recommending them."
Howard Bentwood - Managing Director, Cedar Recruitment

"I have recently started working with Heywood Associates and would like to say how impressed I have been with their ability to listen to my
requirements and provide a professional and consultative service appropriate to my brief.

I find the current market conditions very challenging, as quality candidates have several options and are aggressively pursued by a variety of firms. Heywood has consistently managed my recruitment process effectively and assisted candidates to make the decision that is best for their development. I recommend Heywood to prospective clients without hesitation."
Richard Pickard - Manager, Witan Jardine

"In such a candidate short market it is essential that we have confidence in our recruitment partners to deliver good quality personnel. Heywood has listened to our needs, taken time to understand our business and has consistently found the right candidates for us. I strongly recommend him as someone who is head and shoulders above their competition!"
Mark Woolford - Senior Manager, Jonathan Wren

"I have found Heywood Associates to be a highly professional organisation that understands my business and have delivered. They have impressed me with their knowledge of my sector and developed a relationship whereby I trust their judgement, which saves me time and allows me to get on with my job."
Julian Lavin - Manager, Jonathan Wren

"I thought Heywood were extremely professional. They listened and briefed me fully
on a range of opportunities. I was impressed with their approach because they
didn't just tell me about companies and opportunities but informed me of
the culture, who headed up the business, their background and Heywood's experience
of recruiting for them. This was also all followed up on email, matching up
with what was said. Heywood didn't push me into considering any companies that I
wasn't interested in. Heywood were successful in putting me in touch with my
current employer and I am thoroughly happy and impressed with the match and
how they conducted feedback and managed the process. I have already
recommended Heywood to a number of friends, colleagues and owners of other
recruitment companies."
Tanya Marais - Consultant , Witan Jardine

"I have used Heywood Associates for the vast majority of my recent recruitment. My account manager at Heywood took time to understand my business, my team and the environment any candidates would be working in. Through the time they spent with me, they have consistently delivered excellent candidates that have resulted in placements of great people into my team."
Andy Hillery, Sales Director, Glotel International

"Heywood Associates called me just as I was about to accept a job elsewhere and thank goodness they did! They arranged for us to meet within a few hours of contacting me and organised an interview, with my now employer, for me that day- 5 months later I'm loving my job; am working for a fantastic company and enjoying being very successful. I can't thank Heywood enough."
Emily Walker, Permanent Consultant, Harvey Nash

"I thought the level of service I received from Heywood was of the highest level, and if it had not been for your competence and thoroughness and your relationships with your clients I would not have done half as well in my interviews and as a result not secured the job I wanted and was most suited for. I always mention your name whenever the subject of rec to rec's come up and I would warmly recommend Heywood to anyone looking for a job in recruitment. I especially appreciated your straightforward and honest approach, I am not a big fan of b***s**t and it was very refreshing to have a recruitment consultant who told it like it was. "
Anne McKenna, Contract Consultant, JM Contracts

"I can confirm that I have been dealing with Heywood Associates as a preferred and highly rated rec-to-rec agent for over a year now. Throughout my dealings I have found their service to be extremely professional, prompt, accurate and above all truly consultative.

They shows particular strength and expertise in their overall judgement of client-candidate suitability and never fails to produce apt opportunities, within a set/agreed period of time.

I can honestly say that dealing with Heywood was an absolute pleasure and that he has helped me realise my true potential within the current market. I have no doubt that in the event of moving company I will always contact Heywood first and will be confident that they will do their utmost to find a role to suit my needs. I would happily recommend Heywood's recruitment services to anybody."
Sue James, Senior Development Consultant, Mortimer Spinks

"I have no idea where I would be or what I would be doing right now if it wasn't for the help of a truly superb consultant at Heywood Associates. After an unsuccessful time in recruitment I had decided to change my career path but Heywood was the only one of many rec to rec consultancies that I spoke with, that talked through this decision with me rather than sell me a job I really didn't want. They clearly illustrated that there were jobs out there that had all the elements of my old job that I enjoyed, minus the tasks that led me to leave the industry. Within 2 days I had four interviews lined up - all at companies that suited me and my personality, highlighting the fact that Heywood listen to your needs and wants. Within no time at all, I had two offers on the table for dream jobs and I am now settled into and enjoying the best job in the world! Heywood couldn't have got it more right! If anybody I know ever decides to move on I would not hesitate in pointing them in the direction of Heywood. An excellent service with outstanding results. I thank you all!"
Louise Poynter, International Technical Recruiter, Glotel International

"I would like to thank Heywood Associates for the very professional, thorough and consultative service they offered me. I had heard some terrible things about Rec-to-Rec’s in the past but as I was planning to relocate to London I didn’t think I had any choice but to use one. I approached the process with a good deal of trepidation, but from the first phone they put me at ease. Within 24 hours he had 3 interviews arranged at a time to suit me. The role I wanted was offered to me almost immediately afterwards and they handled the whole process effortlessly. At no point did I think anything would go wrong! Thank you very much and I will have no hesitation in recommending your services in future - and I reckon I owe you a beer."
Louise Weir, Account manager, Elan Computing

David Crawford, Managing Director, Carlisle Staffing Services

"I have recently secured a fantastic role at Crone Corkhill via Heywood Associates. I would like to thank your organization for not only responding to my requirements quickly, but for only approaching me with relevant and viable career options. I dealt with two consultants at your firm. They were both professional, helpful and organized i.e. they e-mailed me through information and called when he promised to, etc… Given my experiences, I would certainly recommend Heywood Associates to any of my ex-colleagues at Reed."
Katy Bartlett, Temps Consultant, Crone Corkhill

"Heywood Associates reacted with an urgency and tailored approach to my requirements that is unparalled within their industry. Within 24 hours of meeting with them I had several interviews confirmed with agencies that matched my profile. I was consulted on every stage of the process and detailed feedback was provided after every interview. They took time to listen to my needs and never once did I feel pushed towards unsuitable roles. Due to their professionalism, broad range of roles and unsurpassed level of candidate service I would have no hesitation in recommending them to my friends and peers."
Rob McCargow, Internal Audit Consultant, Michael Page

Andy Byrne, Director, Hillman Saunders

"We first started working with Heywood after they were recommended to us by a candidate that we met through another source. During the 6 months that they have been supplying us they have taken the time to understand our organisation and the high quality threshold that we set for recruits. Heywood is very active in headhunting potential candidates and they arrive well briefed about JM and nearly always make it through to subsequent interviews. They are very vigilant during the offer stage and helped us get all the people that we have offered. Most importantly Heywood have found 3 excellent people for us who are all doing well."
