I was very impressed with the way that Taylor Hopkinson went about their business. From the moment that they approached me about the position with their client they provided me with all the information I required to decide if the position was of interest to me. Throughout the subsequent recruitment process they kept me fully informed of developments within the decision making process. I felt that they listened to my contractual requirements and represented them accurately to the company helping to smooth the process for me and made the decision to accept the position an easy one.

Head of Engineering and Environment, Offshore Wind Developer, UK
Just a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate the effort you put in during my recruitment process. My first discussions with the client were in Liverpool at the Renewable UK conference in October last year. I then had further interviews in four European capital cites (London, Madrid, Lisbon and Edinburgh) before finally joining in June of this year. Throughout this process you kept me informed and enthused as the requirements of the position changed and the fact that I stayed with the process through the difficult times at my last company is a tribute to your skills of persuasion and your determination to see the process through. I am grateful for your help as my role is everything I had come to expect.

Although there were two companies involved in the process it worked really well and everyone was kept well informed throughout. Taylor Hopkinson were professional and efficient throughout the process and I have no hesitation in recommending the work they did while recruiting me into the organisation.

You and your team have demonstrated high levels of expertise and emotional intelligence in listening to me and dealing with me as a client.
