We are a dynamic and entrepreneurial furniture business. Cultural fit is imperative. We were seeking both a Finance Manager and Finance Assistant to augment our existing team. As a result of tight time pressures we put the positions out to a number of agencies. Cork Griffiths found both candidates with minimum fuss. The end result was impressive, but for me the knowledge and understanding of the candidates was critical in achieving this - Luke Jones, Group Finance Director, Halo Group Paula Eccleston heads up the finance and accounting function for Marsh Finance. She commented on how pleased she was with the service she received from Cork Griffiths, saying it was Cork Griffiths actually The service was excellent – a thorough process with daily updates on candidates and meeting times. The choice of candidates was more than satisfactory – it is difficult to find a manager with experience in our industry that hasn’t been lured away to an off-shore plant. Andrew is definitely what we need here in terms of approach, skill set and attitude towards his role. We will definitely use Cork Griffiths again - Rick Shonfeld, Commercial Director, Tibard Ltd Over the past 5 years, we have used Cork Griffiths to source both a Finance Director and a Financial Controller. In both instances, we have been very pleased with the results – both candidates were sourced within the remit, with minimum fuss. The interview process was well organised and the resulting candidates have added value to our business - Jon Minshaw, Managing Director, Demon Tweeks I am pleased to say that all five of the candidates you provided were superior in terms of preparation, understanding and background than the three sourced by the national agency. I believe your success was down to clearly understanding our requirements, both at a basic and strategic level. Your contact with the candidates clearly added value, in that all of them were enthused and positive and showed a thorough understanding of our requirements. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cork Griffiths to other companies. - Dylan Thwaites, Managing Director, Latitude Ltd The service was excellent, very professional with a personal touch. They understood our needs very well – time was spent before the process started (search and advertising) to fully understand the person and the role requirements. Spot on in terms of meeting our objectives. They worked well to reduce the number of candidates I had to see and in the end I had a very good choice of candidates, with a good role and person fit. - Mark Molnar, Managing Director, VMI Wheelwash looked for a small focused company to recruit a general manager. We found the personal approach throughout the process refreshing. The candidate provided was on brief and the interview and shortlist process well organized. The result was a candidate who is a good fit for the company and the success of this exercise has given us the confidence to use Cork Griffiths on a broader basis. - John Walters, Entrepreneur, Wheelwash Ltd Cork Griffiths understood our needs. Our objectives were met and we recruited an excellent candidate.We would use Cork Griffiths again. - Lesley Fraser, HR Manager, Kuit Steinart Levy Paul Griffiths at Cork griffiths was instrumental in introducing me to Footie Chick.

I am very pleased to be working at Lankhorst and the first few months have been very enjoyable. - Carl North, UK Sales Manager, Lankhorst Recycling When I first contacted Cork Griffiths, they responded positively to my requirements, they stood out from the rest and it didn't feel I was dealing with the usual run of the mill recruitment company.
