Candidate Testimonials

Alex M.
Key Account Manager

"I was introduced to Ciara when exploring a new opportunity after 15 years in the same role. Although I was still employed, I felt nervous about considering a move. Ciara immediately put me at ease. She was empathetic, professional and incredibly easy to speak with.

Her understanding of the business she was representing was thorough and impressive. She took time not only to assess whether I was right for the organisation, but whether the organisation was right for me. That level of care gave me real confidence in making the decision.

Throughout the process, Ciara was supportive, communicative and consistently professional. I could not have asked for more. Thanks to her guidance, I successfully secured my new role.

I cannot recommend Ciara highly enough. She is an asset to any organisation and a true professional in every sense."

Diane G.
Senior Business Development Manager

"I contacted Ciara regarding a role I had seen advertised. She responded promptly and took time to discuss the opportunity in depth, ensuring it aligned with my experience and aspirations.

Ciara had a clear understanding of her client’s requirements and provided thoughtful guidance throughout the process. I felt fully informed at every stage, and the experience felt like a genuine partnership rather than a transaction.

Her support did not end once I secured the role. She continued to check in and ensure the transition was progressing well. Because of her professionalism and attention to detail, I have confidently recommended Ciara to colleagues and business connections."

Bryn S.
Global Commercial Director

"I was not actively seeking a new role when Ciara approached me. What stood out immediately was her honesty and authenticity. There was no pressure, no exaggerated promises, simply a thoughtful and detailed discussion about an opportunity she believed would align well for both parties.

Ciara had complete clarity on her client’s brief and remained focused on ensuring the right fit. She guided me carefully through the process, setting clear expectations and maintaining excellent communication throughout.

The role proved to be exactly as described and a significant positive step in my career. Having worked with many recruitment professionals over the years, I can confidently say Ciara stands out for her integrity, professionalism and commitment.

I have been a customer and client of various recruitment professionals in my long career, but I can safely say Ciara is the most professional in all ways. Some would say I am only writing this because I got the role. I beg to differ I am writing this because I would have known everything was done to support my case and that if not successful it was because on that occasion i was just not the best candidate. 
Even this morning on day one Ciara was the first to congratulate me. 
Ciara thank you for your energy and commitment and I would recommend you in a heartbeat”
