Real recommendations, straight from the people who've worked with Clare.

All of these come directly from LinkedIn.

Amy Goudie
Head of Customer Success at essensys

I was fortunate enough to have Clare recommended to me by a colleague when I was looking for a customer success manager to join my team. Clare really took the time to not only understand the requirements of the role, but also more about me and the wider business. Similarly, Clare treated the candidates with the same level of respect, taking the time to understand their goals and values. This all meant that we received high-quality candidates who I knew would be a good fit for our organisation, and in turn, they felt our organisation was the right next step for them. Throughout the process, Clare communicated effectively, was on-hand to help with salary and contract negotiations, leading to a successful hire who was a great asset to our organisation. I look forward to working with Clare again!

Paweł Tomczuk
Founder & CEO at TechTree

Clare was part of TechTree at a very early stage. She was great at dealing with the chaos of a startup and had been delivering great results from Day 1. In particular, she has: — brought clients with whom she had a previous relationship — built process and managed a network of talent partners — brought great energy to the team in the tough days of the pandemic I truly believe Clare is an asset for any organization!

Josh Rivers, PhD
Sr. Strategy Research Leader at Xbox

I was lucky enough to work with Clare while working as a UX Research Lead at Solsten, a SaaS and research services startup, where I managed a fast-growing research team. Working with Clare to help grow the team, I never doubted that she fully understood my needs as a manager, the needs of the company, as well as how to find the right people for the roles we were hiring for. Her attention to detail for each and every headcount set her apart from other recruiting partners and as we worked together over time, her second sense for finding the right fit for roles was a welcome surprise. Clare was always committed to finding the perfect fit for our roles and finding talent that would excel in a startup environment. Her unbelievably expedient response times, attention to detail, and strong empathy set her apart. I would strongly recommend working with her for any of your recruitment or people needs.

Vincent Tamer
AI Enablement Leader & Senior CSM at LinkedIn

I have had the pleasure to work closely with Clare as a candidate as well as a hiring manager. She is extremely personable and gets to know the people she is working with. When she is sourcing candidates she makes sure to understand who the hiring manager is, what the organisation is like, what the day to day is for the specific role, and also who the candidate is that they are looking for. When she is working with individuals she has the ability to get to know them on a personal level and really understand what it is they are looking for in their next opportunity. She is able to represent the candidates well to the organisation and provides very detailed summaries of her initial screening. I can only recommend working with Clare as an agency to source your next great hires. I will continue to bring her on as a recruiter for future hires. The value add is immense.

Jon Seddon
Sr. Manager Solution Consulting EMEA, DACH, ANZ

Clare did a great job finding me candidates in a tough market. I needed software specialists in Germany willing to work at a global level and she found them! It was an ease working with her and in particular, her speedy communication was appreciated. Highly recommend!

Hannah Seddon
Personal Assistant @ Zebra Technologies

I can't thank Clare enough for a seamless, professional and warm recruitment process. I have never experienced such support and communication from a recruiter, nor have I ever gone through such a streamline recruitment phase. It is always challenging when seeking new roles but I was entirely put at ease from the company knowledge, culture and experience Clare provided which gave a great sense of the company before even commencing employment. It has been beyond refreshing to experience a process like Clare had provided with upmost efficiency, no delays or lengthy procedures. I feel my requirements, needs and preferences were really listened to and understood by Clare which allowed her to find me a great role & fit in my future career. I am very grateful for Clare and can't thank her enough for my experience!!!

"Good recruiting creates excellent experiences for your future talent, delivers on your values from day one, and builds teams where everyone genuinely belongs."
