Sam's commitment, drive, and high integrity to succeed are infectious and stand him apart from the majority of other recruitment consultants. Working with Sam is truly enjoyable. His consultative approach to our needs ensures that he delivers consistently.

Robert Lienhard, Talent Attraction Leader

I had a great experience as a candidate working with Thomas recently exploring senior/exec opportunities in the Fashion & Retail domain, covering Europe. He is very collaborative, developing the right fit for both candidate and the employer keeping the both parties he is represented well informed and setting clear expectations. I happily recommend Thomas to any prospective organisations looking to fill any gaps in their resourcing needs.

John Fox, Technology Leader

I had the pleasure of working with Thomas during my recent career transition, and I can confidently say that their support was exceptional. From our first conversation, Thomas demonstrated a deep understanding of the industry and a genuine interest in aligning opportunities with my professional goals. I highly recommend Thomas to any professional seeking a strategic and trustworthy partner in their career journey.

André Wiegers, SAP Project Manager

Anthony is one of the rare breed of recruiters who actually cares greatly about your organisation and the results you are striving for. An all round good bloke who you can trust to call a spade a spade. Highly recommended.

Dave Hughes, Shared Services Director

People like Anthony are rare to find in the recruitment industry. He’s extremely professional and proactive, consistently delivering great candidates time and time again. On top of that he’s a truly lovely guy and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I wouldn't hesitate in dealing with Anthony again in the future.

James Roberts, Chief Technology Officer

Apart from an extremely good and extensive 'black book' of SAP / non SAP contacts which produce high quality candidates, Anthony genuinely understands the brief. He ensures that you only receive CVs from qualified candidates and I’ve never interviewed one of Anthony's candidates that couldn’t have done the job.

David Evans, SAP Programme Manager

Anthony is an outstanding agent. He takes the time and trouble to ensure the role and circumstances are right for you. His professional manner throughout the process is a breath of fresh air. Cannot recommend Anthony and Harrington Boyd highly enough.
