“I am pleased to share my experience working with Richard Van Ark in our recent search for a Manager Insights & Analytics. Having worked with Richard previously, I knew his deep understanding of the candidate market and specific hard and soft skills required to be a great leader in this space were going to be a distinct advantage. Richard focussed on ensuring that every candidate presented was not only technically proficient but also a great fit for our organisation.
The two shortlisted candidates he presented made it very difficult for us to make a choice, which is a great position to be in and exceeded our expectations. Richard facilitated a fast and seamless interview process and followed up regularly post-hire to ensure everything was progressing smoothly. Thanks to Richard’s expertise and commitment, we were able to make a timely hire that has already made a significant impact on our team. I highly recommend Richard to any organization looking to fill critical technical roles with top-tier talent and I look forward to working with him again.”

“In early 2024, our Commercial team used the expertise of Graham from Quinn Allen in our search to recruit a new Commercial Analyst role. The challenge we set for Graham was to find someone who had quite advanced analytical skills and experience in utilising SQL and Power BI. The aim was for this role to help our team create deeper insights for the business from the extensive and complex large data sets that exist within our energy retail business.
Graham differentiated himself by deeply listening upfront and getting the heart of the type of candidate we were after. He remained steadfast in only providing a tailored shortlist of quality candidates that had the demonstrated experience we were after, both within and outside of the Energy industry. Graham’s balanced approach and advice helped our decision making on the person who went on to become an excellent addition to our team.”

“Rachel was referred to me by a colleague as we were seeking a finance manager for our recruitment business. We are a small, close knit team and this role was pivotal to our success as a business.
As an experienced recruiter myself, I understand the challenges of sourcing great talent from both a skill and cultural perspective. Dealing with Rachel was refreshing – she was professional, thorough and communicative across the entire recruitment process.
Taking the time to understand our business and the role, all the candidates she presented were selected for interview. Of course, it wouldn’t be recruitment without a few unforeseen obstacles, but Rachel overcame these with ease, delivering us an exceptional candidate, a Finance Manager who has literally changed our lives for the better! My team and I are so grateful to Rachel and I could not recommend her highly enough.”
