Testimonials
The first reason why I like working with HW is because they truly listen, investing enough time upfront on the context of the search before going to the job itself. The second reason is because they “fish in different ponds”, translating in both a rigorous and creative manner the targeted job scope and the potential career paths that could lead into it. Finally HW are a true thought partner and not “yes men” just focused on invoicing the fees, which means they do not hesitate to provide feedback on the search, hereby helping to sharpen it.
Jean Christophe – Flatin Global President, Oatly
We have been proud partners with HW for many years, a mutual relationship based on great delivery and deep trust.
David Haines – Global Talent Director, Mars Inc.
We worked with Louise recently to search for a new Director of Operations. This was our second time working with Louise and she could not have done a better job. From ensuring the brief was absolutely accurate to presenting first class candidates, Louise and her team exhibited a thorough knowledge of our requirements with real insight into the candidates they presented. Thanks to Louise and her team, We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Louise to other organisations in need of high quality recruitment.
Jonathan Kemp – MD at AEV Group
I had the pleasure of working with Louise in a recent search for a senior operations vacancy , and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Louise and her team were knowledgeable about the industry and also genuinely invested in helping candidates find the right job fit for their skills and career aspirations.
Louise took the time to understand our goals and what we needed in candidates for the role. Louise maintained clear and open communication, keeping me informed of every step along the way.
If you’re looking for a recruiter who is professional, insightful, and truly dedicated to helping find the best candidates, I would highly recommend working with Louise.
Stephen Tattersall, COO at Clinisupplies
My experience with HWG has been beyond positive – very clear communication, amazing responsiveness and executional excellence through the process. Great clarity on status and next steps at any time. Couldn’t be happier with the way the communication went even though there was significant ambiguity – have always felt very well informed as to where we are, respected as an individual and most importantly well taken care of.
Eliza Simeonoval – Global VP Supply Chain, Mars Petcare
HW is not just an expert search partner, they are true business partner, bringing market insights and ongoing support following the placement. I have appreciated their trust, agility, and ability to connect to our culture to get the best fit for our organization.
Cheryl DeSantis – Chief People Officer, National Veterinary Associates
HW are first class. We first worked together when they approached me regarding a Programme Director role for a large transformation programme. Throughout the recruitment process the communication was spot on and they were meticulous and personable in their approach, plus their knowledge of the role was refreshing and very helpful. I was successful for the role and one year in it feels like a good fit. We have also since worked together on my team recruitment which has also gone well. I would definitely recommend HW Interim Solutions, and we will hopefully continue to work together in the future.
Interim Transformation Director- N Brown
The Interim Solutions team are a joy to work with. They take the time to truly understand their client’s needs and styles and work just as hard to represent people who would be a great fit. The team are some of the best recruiters I’ve worked with in my career, and I would recommend them to anyone. They will absolutely find the best people for your needs.
Director of Business Transformation- Yorkshire Building Society
I’ve been working with HW for a number of years and find the service and approach second to none. They take time to understand the needs of the client, normally via a series of 1:1 conversations. After they have understood what the client is looking for, HW begins an extensive search, identifying potential candidates. Through the process HW keep in contact with the candidates ensuring they are kept up to date with progress of the role and ensuring they are comfortable with how things are going. This attentiveness isn’t something I’ve seen with others, and I feel this sets HW way above the rest and makes sure the right candidates are found. Even after finding the right candidate, HW checks in regularly with both candidate and client to ensure everything is working. My interactions with the HW team have always been brilliant, and I would highly recommend using them.
Head of Transformation Delivery- Cumberland Building Society
Working as a candidate and, latterly as an associate, with the HW Interim team has been such a refreshingly positive experience. A highly personable, friendly and engaging yet professional approach is beautifully paired with tenacity and advocacy on my behalf. I feel they have taken the time to really get to know me, as a person and as a professional, and they have then been purposeful, pragmatic and persuasive in making the right introductions to the right people at the right time, overlaid with the right market insight, to help me make the right career decisions. A great partnership
