What they say about us

Hannah Baker - Director

Precision and Quality

Andrew is a great recruiter and was very valuable in my search for an accountant. He knew exactly the type of person I was looking for and offered good quality candidates. I would definitely recommend using him for any recruitment needs and I will certainly use him again when I am looking to fill another role.

Head of GM Recruitment - Goldman Sachs

Understands the market and delivers!

Andrew and the team supported on a couple of key front office hires when other agencies had failed to deliver. They took the time to fully understand our complex requirements and consistently delivered exceptional candidates across the project. We will look to use them again on future projects.

Frances O'Reilly - Director - CME Group

Delivers!

Andrew helped me successfully recruit for the most difficult to fill roles. looking for niche financial technology engineers was a challenge and Andrew delivered where others had not. His knowledge of the job market and his intuitive understanding of the appetite of candidates in the tech sector enabled us to build our teams to the profile we needed. I would highly recommend Andrew for any recruitment position.

Expertise in Accountancy Recruitment Shines

Andrew Murphy helped me get my current role as partner of an accountancy practice. Andrew is very knowledgeable about what you are looking for in a role and gives detailed feedback both sides. A lot of recruitment agents don’t tend to understand fully what is involved in different sorts of accountancy roles. Andrew however really understands what is involved in specific accountancy roles and how to match the candidate to the role most suited for their needs and the accountancy practice’s needs.

Helen James - Director - J2 Research

Above and Beyond

Andrew worked with J2 Research as a consultant on a specific project. Andrew delivered exactly what we wanted and worked tirelessly to achieve it. Andrew was an absolute pleasure to deal with, he sought to fully understand the project and our requirements, gave regularly updates and went above and beyond the scope. I would highly recommend him
