Commercial Candidates Testimonials

The commercial team at CD sales Recruitment have excelled in the provision of sales people to Experian Hitwise to such an extent that they are now the first and only call we make with our new business and account management requirements.  The service is second to none and having interviewed 8 candidates to date over the past 4 years, we have subsequently hired 6 new business people who have all excelled in their roles.  The time saved by having an agency understand your business and requirements when it comes to skill set and personality, CD are head and shoulders above the rest.

 

Jason Harcombe – Business Development Manager – Experian Hitwise

 

 

Dear Nick, Mark and Steve,

 

Well what else is left to say but, a massive thank-you to all three of you. Many agencies contact candidates and offer a variety of different jobs say all the right things that a candidate wants' to hear but when it comes to it they tend to fail on the promises they have made.

 

From the initial phone call by Mark and having dealt with CD my previous career I knew what Mark said was for real, having all 3 off you giving me advice and tips was great especially as I was on the other side of the table being interviewed and not hiring was an experience in it's self especially when I have not had much experience due to my track record with staying with companies.

 

I look forward to receiving all the information from SKY so that I can read through and understand the full package and benefits etc.

 

Once again thanks for all your help and support.......

 

Have a great day 

 

 

 

 

I have been working with one of your consultants, Marc Gourley, over

the last month or so. From the moment I met Marc I felt he started to

understand my requirements as a job seeker. He was extremely engaging

and asked me all the questions which seemed to matter to me and of

course to him in trying to find a good fit. I felt the companies he

put me in front of very much reflected our conversations and his need

find on what my specific requirements were in a role.

 

He always followed up every conversation with a summary of agenda by

email. Every interview I went to, I felt I was perfectly prepared for

and educated on the company and market.

 

First and foremost he is extremely likeable and this is then

reinforced by a great sense of professionalism and energy. You really

feel he is working with you as a consultant should. Unfortunately,

this is not always the case and serves as a great credit to Marc and

I'm sure his career in the future. Initially, I was working with 7

different consultants and I very quickly realised that I could achieve

just as much by working with Marc.

 

Unfortunately, I was offered a fantastic position by a contact which I

had already established before I met Marc for a role in Singapore.

This offer would have been impossible to beat and was certainly no

reflection on Marc's efforts and continued tenacity and

professionalism. I think he is a first rate consultant and heads above

any other I have worked with on the consultancy landscape. Had I not

been offered this position in Singapore, I'm sure that Mark would have

placed me.

 

For any future job seeking efforts, you can rest assured that Mark

and CD Sales Recruitment will be my first and hopefully only port of call.

 

I have been very glad to write this testimonial and can say that it is

the first I have ever written after 12 years working as a salesman and

dealing with many recruitment consultants across numerous countries.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank CD Sales Recruitment and wish Marc

all the best in the future.

 

Best Regards,

 

Hugo Jefferson

 

 

"Jason Harcombe successfully helped me finding appropriate roles in London on two occasions. First he placed me as Head of Business Development at Experian's trend research company. One year later he managed to place me again as an Account Director where I will be promoted to Solutions Development Director effective from January 2008.

From all recruitment agents I dealt with Jason was the only one who offered a professional assessment of my skills and career objectives, combined with a perfect follow through in offering opportunities, arranging interviews and closing the deal from both sides.

He would not push me into roles that are not suitable for me and he wouldn't recommend me to anyone just for the sake of it.

Long story short, if I wanted to develop my career with a new company (but I don't) I wouldn't bother to contact various agents, I would go straight back to Jason, he would make it happen again.

I can strongly recommend Jason as a recruitment agent to candidates as well as companies."

"I wanted to drop you a quick e-mail to say a big thank you, to you and Matt Fox for assisting me with my recent appointment at Reevoo.
 
I found the initial meeting with yourselves and all the on-going advice you gave me, extremely valuable. Matt listened to all of my requirements and approached me with many suitable live vacancies, refining his search for a suitable position as we went though the process. From our initial contact, through to receiving an exciting job offer was unbelievably fast. Further to this, it's in a position I want, with the salary I want, in location I want and with a company where the atmosphere and ethos is exactly what I was looking for!
 
I wouldn't have believed all this would be completed in less than 3 weeks.
 
Matt (who stayed in touch with me daily) is a credit to CD Sales Recruitment.
 
Please ensure that you pass on my thanks to Matt (as well as Sam and Simon who I also briefly dealt with) for everyone's excellent service. I will certainly refer friends, colleagues and any future requirements I may have to you."
 
Best regards

"  From day one when you contacted me I have been impressed with the professionalism, pro-activeness and also the friendliness of CD.  I was given feedback after every interview as soon as possible, whether good or bad.  I was put forward for jobs that I was actually interested in and didn't feel awkward saying that I wasn't interested in certain positions.  Your professionalism and attitude has really helped me, especially in building my confidence before interviews, and your advice in helping me to prepare was invaluable."

"Jason,

I spoke to Steve yesterday, really to let him know that he should be proud of you as you have been 100% professional and supportive in ensuring that I have all the right tools to hand to ensure that I am able to give the job interviews my best shot.

The questions I took along on your recommendation showed planning and a desire to truly understand your clients business.  In the words of Gaby he was "blown away" by the interview and preparation - which both you and I know was only possible from 5pm the previous day!!! (Due to the quick turnaround of the interview and meetings I was committed to attending).

Jason it is rare that I feel pro actively compelled to write a letter of thanks but on this occasion you really deserve it.  I know this is the first time I have looked for a new job in 10 years but should I look again you will most certainly be my recruitment contact.  

Thanks again,"

"  We have had dealings for the last 10 years & have always found your approach to be very professional. Having dealt with CD as both a client & a candidate, I would always recommend your services. Indeed it is my intention to continue this relationship in my new position!  As you know I have been in my present company for 10 years & knew that it would have to be something special to tempt me away. I have to say that Robin, did a "great sales job" not only in selling the organisation to me in the first instance, but in keeping up the communication with good honest feed back."

"I wanted to convey my sincere thanks to you Steve following the great service that I received. Your colleague Ben gave me a first class service which resulted in me finding me my perfect job! I will have no hesitation in passing on both CD's and Ben Smith's name to my friends and colleagues should they be looking for a sales position and would like to wish you both a great 2005!"

J.M

 

"Once again you came up trumps! Thanks Steve for all your help I trust I will not need your services again and look forward to building a long term career opportunity.I plan to pass your name onto a colleague of mine and will ask her to call you shortly. I will be looking to recruit in my new post soon and plan to use CD then so will be in touch soon."

"Thanks Ben for all your help,my new role at MWB is FANTASTIC and I'm well on my way to that first commission cheque. Please pass on my best to Steve and thank him again for all his help."

"Thanks guy's for all your help I really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put in over the weeks of being registered. I am now very happy in my sales career and that's down to you both. Travelex have given me some great training and I now look forward to getting in front of my clients and putting into practice. I 'm sure that I will be passing your door soon and will buy you that drink I promised."

"I'm so excited and relieved, being out of work was driving me mad! You gave me the added confidence that I needed and I'm very grateful for all you input. I am very confident that now 2 months in to my new job that I'll be here for a very long time, I have no plans or intentions on visiting you again in the near future! You really made the difference and I wish you all the very best."

M.B

"Having been a client of CD Sales for a number of years, I recently decided to move into a new company. The service I received from Ben, Steve & Simon was superb, they were all 100% professional from start to end. They found 2 suitable Sales Management opportunities within a few days of initial contact and interview, of which I was offered 1, which I accepted. In fact the 1st interview was Monday, 2nd Interview Wednesday with the formal offer being made (and accepted) today - Friday! Now that was fast work!Needless to say I shall be using CD Sales to recruit staff as my new team grows."

"I just wanted to thank your company for placing me with a fantastic company and only after 3 weeks of initially meeting with yourselves. I have been so impressed with the service, contact and support that I have received from Sean, he has been nothing but committed and dedicated to finding me the right position. "

"I would just like to take this opportunity to highlight how pleased I am with the performance of one of your consultants Ben Smith. Ben and myself have been working on a joint campaign to secure the correct role for myself in the future.I must say how delighted I have been with his focus, understanding, and drive in obtaining/placing me in a role with one of your largest clients Orion. I believe Ben was new to the company/industry some six months ago, so I must say how well your training programme operates in conjunction with the outstanding individual - Ben. I also expect you as an organisation would operate some form of ongoing appraisal programmes, so I would like my views to be passed on at the next of these to Ben. Please note I would have no hesitation of recommending your organisation or Ben Smith as a key contact point to any prospective client or candidate."

"I have really been impressed by the service provided by CD Sales Recruitment and would definitely recommend you to others. You blow the competition away! I have been impressed with your professionalism and drive."

E.M

 

"I am writing this testimonial due to the hard work and thought put into the placement of myself in my current position. I have been working for Boyne Publicity for 6 weeks and through the experience and expertise of yourself on behalf of CD Sales Recruitment, I have found the ideal position within my field. The process in which you have adapted for questioning, not only myself but my employer, has made a perfect match for both concerned! The opportunity given to me by this position, has totally changed my perception of Recruitment Agencies and I would highly recommend CD Sales Recruitment because of this."

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Laura and Steve at CD recruitment for all their hard work and consistency in finding the perfect role for myself at Comtrex. I was very impressed with my initial interview at the Cheam office, Laura asked specific question to find out exactly what I was looking for and what would suit my next career move. I personally would recommend any candidates in the market place to contact CD Recruitment as they are all dedicated and professional in their approach to finding the right career for each and every individual."
