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 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
I have worked closely with the HW team for over five years on many difficult search assignments. They are a true business partner, focused on delivering quality outcomes at pace. HW are rigorous in approach, always engaging in direct and constructive dialogue and consistently following through and delivering against commitments. They are willing, capable and energized to take on more complex assignments that often require extensive market research and due diligence, whilst often working through ambiguity on the client side.
Malcolm Armstrong – Global VP P&O Mars Pet Nutrition
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience in partnering with this firm and how they made me feel valued and supported as a candidate in the recruiting process.
Tiana Conley – VP Global Portfolio Strategy, Mars Wrigley
I have worked with HW not only because of their people, search methodology and reach but the two areas where I think they are really different. Firstly, they truly listen. They take the time to understand your business strategy and people requirements and then they forensically select against these. Secondly, they take this strategic understanding and use this to really sell your business, giving access to exceptional candidates. They are thorough, supportive, flexible and overall great value and fun to work with. I would highly recommend and still use them today!
Stuart Price – Chief People Officer, Zenith
I had the pleasure of working with HW Global during the hiring process and they demonstrated extremely high levels of professionalism, always available to provide insights, updates, coaching and feedback. They not only focused on the hard skills and leadership, but also ensure the optimal culture and values fit. One of the rare firms that engages in post hiring follow up calls and mentoring, helping smooth onboarding and integration. Simply HWG act with warmth and care and I strongly recommend them for new career paths, recruitment and hiring service.
Sherif Riad – Global Chief Supply Chain Officer, Krispy Kreme
HW Global are a great talent partner. The team have worked with us on numerous senior executive commercial leadership roles. I have valued their approach to shaping a quality brief that holds the right tension between our needs and the industry realities, leveraging the quality insights they provide and the quality of the search process where they have an impressive reach, high trust with candidates and a philosophy of accountability and working together, to land the right business solution.
