EM Consulting

“We have been consistently delighted with the professionalism of the service and the calibre of the candidates supplied by EM. 

They have now supported several campaigns and we have never failed to appoint.  The decision to appoint EM was one of the best decisions we have made.”

Robert Garner, Company Director - Avail Consulting

 

“EM is excellent at sourcing candidates who closely match our requirements. They take the time up-front to understand your needs and as a firm they are responsive and professional.

We have recruited several candidates over the last 18 months or so, and all have turned out fantastically.”

Alastair Rimmer, Partner in Transaction Services - PricewaterhouseCoopers

“I just want to commend the work that EM Consulting has done over the last 18 months on securing my new position as a Director at KPMG in Sydney. 

What turned into an off the cuff enquiry about positions in Australia 18 months ago, has now materialised in a move from London for me and my family to start a new life in Australia, down to no small part by your consultants tenacity, persistence and professionalism. 

If and when I return to London I'll definitely look him up and take him for a drink.  In the meantime can I just say I've really enjoyed, and hope to continue the relation with EM Consulting in the future.”

Nathan Birch, Director - KPMG, Sydney

"I had registered with several consultants but none worked as hard for me as EM did. My consultant possesses an intimate knowledge of the industry, is voracious in hunting constructive feedback, and ensured that I remained focused on the interview process.

Most impressive however was the way she sold me to the industry as a non-traditional hire, as someone in-between experienced and inexperienced - not an easy task but managed perfectly. Top marks!"

Tim Part, Associate Consultant - OC&C

“The whole process of finding a new job was made painless by the fact that EM have a very strong relationship with all the top companies in the industry, and are therefore able to apply to those firms on my behalf - meaning I didn't have to spend my own time firing off applications and being another number on a CV.

My consultant was really great. We developed a really strong relationship in which she went beyond the call of duty by researching companies and priming me for interviews. She became a trusted adviser to me and a personal friend. I couldn't recommend her and EM Consulting high enough.”

Ed Massey, Consultant - Cognosis

“I had been looking to move out of my current company for a number of months and your consultant helped me achieve this. He believed I had the right profile for the specific role he proposed, and that strengthened my self confidence.

Throughout the recruitment process he promptly supplied very useful information about the role I was going for and helped with the logistics, this greatly helped my preparation.  I would strongly recommend EM Consulting to those seeking a reliable and professional recruitment service.”

Federica Boiani, Senior Consultant - Deloitte

Commerce and Industry

“Throughout the recruitment process I was very impressed with the consultant I dealt with. My change of roles was complicated by the fact the position I applied for was overseas.

The EM consultant ensured I was suitably prepared prior to interviews including checking the necessary travel arrangements were in place.

Subsequent to interviews the consultant provided helpful advice on the timescales of how the process was likely to evolve.

I was particularly grateful for the consultant's hard work after the position had been offered in ascertaining various pieces of information in relation to both the position itself and relocation issues.”
 Mark Harty, Finance Manager - Trafigura, Lucerne

“I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism that EM Finance displayed during our recent partnering experience.  

It was a very difficult and challenging market but our consultant’s dedication and clear understanding of our business needs resulted in them delivering us a selection of high quality candidates, one of which was successful.

 I look forward to partnering with EM Finance on future roles and I feel confident in recommending their services.” 

Dallas Mann, Human Resources Manager - Associated British Foods plc

"I've worked with EM for the last 3-4 years and found them to be extremely professional with a real desire to understand my business and its culture, resulting in them putting some great quality candidates in front of me."

Head of Business Development, Asda

"EM Finance was able to find me a number of experienced candidates who were a good match. They were professional throughout and due to their efforts we were able to secure the right candidate with the minimum of fuss. I would certainly use them again"

Head of Internal Audit, FTSE 250 Construction Company

"When starting a new TV production company it was vital we hired the right staff from the very start.  EM found us our perfect candidate very quickly... if only all TV production was that easy!”

MD / Head of Production, Whizz Kid Entertainment

"I'm delighted with the professional services provided by EM during the entire process of my hiring to Rio Tinto. When I got EM's first phone call I was in Singapore and had plans to take some time off from work. EM's enthusiasm about the role was one of the key elements in persuading me this job could be a step forward on my professional career. My consultant was key during the entire process, explaining the role and helping in the negotiations around my contract.  After 7 months working for Rio Tinto in London I can only thank EM Finance for putting me forward for this job.  Well done!”

Communications & External Relations Executive, Rio Tinto plc

I would just like to say that I thought the advice and service offered by my consultant at EM in helping me find a new job was fantastic.  He always called before an interview to make sure I was prepared and immediately afterwards so I could give him instant feedback. The fact that I did not seem keen on the job when I saw the initial job spec makes me laugh as the team and company are so nice here at Property Finder and I am so pleased I went for it.  If it was not for the EM consultant's gentle shove in the right direction and good persuasion I would not be in a job that actually makes me happy. Looking for a new job is never easy and it was made much simpler by his professionalism.  I also felt that this did not stop the day I got offered the job as it can do with so many recruitment consultants.  The muffins were a lovely surprise! Kind regards and all the best, 

Assistant Financial Controller, Propertyfinder

“Being an experienced finance professional I have dealt with numerous recruitment consultants, both large and small, over the last few years, in the role of both candidate and client. My experience with EM has been like a breath of fresh air. I felt there was genuine interest in what I wanted to do, rather than being pushed in to whatever roles were available. Overall I've been very impressed and what is normally a stressful experience has been remarkably straightforward.”

Senior Financial Accountant, Kesa

"I was very pleased with EM. They handled the assignment in a very professional and friendly manner on a one-to-one basis. Their insight and knowledge of the client company was highly relevant and extremely useful at both interview stage and in the decision to accept the job offer. Importantly, their impartiality and mediation of issues and concerns from both parties was critical in the successful outcome."

Head of Planning, Asda

 

“Over the last few months I have been pursuing new opportunities in the retail market and EM has been an integral part in getting me the right position. What was refreshing about EM was its real honesty in matching the right candidate for the right business. Often with recruitment consultants you feel you are just a commodity that they are trying to sell, and at no point have I felt like that with EM. Thanks to EM, I have now realised a superb new opportunity.  I would recommend EM as a consultant in the future as I believe their focussed approach on both client and candidate ensure right person, right role.” 

Area Manager, Boots
