It has been a pleasure to work with Hannah and the Odgers team to secure our new Director of Nursing.

Hannah took time to understand the role, team and organisation to create a targeted and successful campaign. Hannah ensured we had regular updates, detailing the scale of the campaign and interest levels. She shared her expertise on how to run the selection process and supported the final negotiations. 

I would highly recommend Hannah as great recruiter and expert in her field. 

We recently partnered with Sandra Hamovic, and her colleagues Claire and Corinne, at Berwick Partners, for an executive search, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. They took the time to truly understand our organisation, our needs, and the nuances of the role, ensuring a tailored and effective search process, meeting our tight timeline and adapting their schedule to suit.

Their approach was thorough, well-structured, and highly organised, guiding us seamlessly through each stage. The candidates they recommended were well-qualified and carefully selected, reflecting their deep understanding of our requirements. Beyond their expertise, they were personable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Their insight, attention to detail, and commitment to finding the right fit made all the difference.

We would highly recommend them and would not hesitate to work with them again for future executive searches.

We have had a lot of organisational growth in the past few years, and we identified an opportunity to have a Director of HR sitting on our Executive Committee. As this was a brand new post, Basil and the team gave some expert advice on the role. This support with the prep meant that we had a really strong response to the post and Basil helped navigate us through this to get to a great shortlist, all to the agreed deadlines which can be rare in executive search! Basil’s professionalism and diligence resulted in us appointing a really strong candidate who we think will really help shape our organisation going forwards. 

The Berwick team did a great job in sourcing high quality candidates with a different breadth of experience and perspectives, giving us the best possible choice. We were provided with first-class strategic counsel throughout. The account was managed effectively and efficiently with the team being highly responsive. We are delighted with the outcome of the process and want to thank the Berwick team for their outstanding support.  

Sandra brought wise counsel, structure and a great network and connections to her work for Together for Short Lives. She gave us assurance that she had scanned the market and we were presented with some great candidates. She was supported by Claire who made sure that everything was in place in a timely and efficient manner. We were delighted by the service she gave and would recommend her on to others looking for a thorough and thoughtful recruitment partner.

We had a remarkably strong field. I really value the interviews that are carried out by Sandra between long and shortlisting. The advice on these two lists has, in my experience, always been really clear and appropriate. I have worked with Sandra and her team twice now, and they have been excellent on both occasions. I have been happy to recommend them to other organisations.

I have worked with 3 other search firms and would say Berwick Partners were better than all of them. I really could not fault Basil at all. He is the best search consultant that I have worked with in a long time.

Jonathan and the team have supported us on a number of recruits over the years, and more recently for a Site Director Role. I’m impressed with how Jonathan has partnered with our company and gained a great insight into the both the technical and cultural requirements to develop a great candidate shortlist, culminating in our most recent successful recruitment. Great communication with regular updates, the process was smooth and quick, exceeding my expectations. Look forward to working with Jonathan and the team on any future requirements, and would not hesitate in recommending.

We engaged Tom of Berwick Partners to recruit a CEO for the Society. He was proactive and thorough, producing a selection of excellent candidates. All this against the backdrop of a competitive market at that level, and a short timeframe. Tom had the ability to ascertain the requirements of the organisation and make suggestions as to candidates to consider based upon vast experience, which we found invaluable. This led to the appointment of a great candidate during the timeframe, meaning we could progress with our plans for the Society. I would highly recommend Tom 

I could not have been more pleased with the results Jonathan and Berwick Partners delivered for us. We had a need for a specialist in a niche and high demand area. I was impressed how quickly we had a large list of vetted qualified candidates. At the end we were able to be quite selective, focusing on nuances. We loved two of the three finalists so much we ended up hiring two of them. I look forward to working with Jonathan and Berwick on future searches.
