Testimonials

          Taylor Hopkinson Associates have given a great contribution to the entrance of EDPR into the UK wind energy market. Their knowledge of the industry at all levels and approach to candidates are at the base of the excellent results achieved.

          I retained Taylor Hopkinson Associates to perform an executive search for a technical wind professional. At the time, demand for this type of candidate was high and the supply of such individuals was scarce. We still received a first class short list in very good time, and we were able to take on an extremely talented technical wind developer who has added real value to the business. The company's ability to deliver where others had failed was mostly due to their extensive network of contacts complimented by first class search and selection processes. I have no hesitation in recommending Taylor Hopkinson Associates.

          Tom is a great guy. During our first meeting, it was clear that he had deep knowledge of the energy sector, including technical appreciation as well as far reaching contacts. Tom has provided me with invaluable career advice as a person, focused appreciation of my requirements as a recruiter and as a result has placed me in a great role and helped me to build a world class team. On the basis of my previous experiences with Tom, I unhesitatingly recommend - definitely use this firm.

          I just wanted to wish Taylor Hopkinson Associates all the best the future from MLS Control. Based on my experiences working with you and the in-depth market knowledge you hold, I have no doubt the company will be a great success and I look forward to doing business with you again soon.

          We have found the candidates you have put forward extremely good so thank you very much for your efforts. I have been very happy with the services you have provided - very professional, prompt and well researched.

          Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited selected Taylor Hopkinson Associates from three recruitment consultancies to manage a national advertising and search campaign to select a Project Manager UK. The decision was based on the company's previous experience managing search campaigns in this sector for high-profile clients, which has enabled them to build a substantial network of mid to senior management contacts. The campaign has resulted in securing an excellent candidate for the project management role and we look forward to securing an additional operations professional in the near future. Throughout the campaign the consultants have been extremely professional and diligent and have gone the extra mile to deliver a first-class service. I look forward to working with Taylor Hopkinson in the future as our business continues to grow.

          I just wanted to say thank you for your ongoing support with recruiting for REpower UK.

          ITI Energy has employed the services of Taylor Hopkinson to search and select candidates for a number of demanding briefs [...] and have received a level of service and commitment above and beyond the norm. Many of the briefs have been highly technical in nature, requiring experts in a number of fields to industrialise and commercialise cutting edge renewable technologies both in the UK and around the world. Often the briefs have been accompanied with tight timescales and deadlines to be adhered to and our contact has always gone the extra mile meet these expectations with a high level of success. In our dealings with Taylor Hopkinson the consultants have always shown themselves to be extremely professional, reliable and dedicated and the feedback we have received from the candidates we have employed is that they have shown the same diligence when dealing with them, ensuring all parties are fully informed and engaged throughout the whole recruitment process.

          Taylor Hopkinson Associates take the time to find out exactly what type of person I have been looking to recruit. Having done this they use expert knowledge of the industry to find suitable candidates. They have constantly delivered high quality candidates that match the brief.

          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.

          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.

          I secured my role through one of Taylor Hopkinson's associate companies. The associate company are specialists in accountancy and finance recruitment and they were selected by Taylor Hopkinson to produce the shortlist for this position as a company immersed in this sector with the right network to deliver against the brief. 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.

          I found that the process was very professional and efficient and I am very appreciative of Taylor Hopkinson's role in it. They successfully organized fairly unusual meetings at short notice and continued to be open as to the status of my application throughout. I found that messages and calls were returned and dealt with promptly. Overall, I found that Taylor Hopkinson Associates played a crucial role in my successful application.

          The speed, with which Taylor Hopkinson Associates responded to my first enquiry about the opportunity, was absolutely first class. The subsequent meeting/interview that I had with them was one of the most thorough interviews I have ever had. They managed to get a really good insight into my experience and knowledge to date, which I believe has been really instrumental in you matching me to the perfect position.

This has been my first ever experience of using an agency and I really don’t think that I will ever do it any other way again. You and your team have demonstrated high levels of expertise and emotional intelligence in listening to me and dealing with me as a client. The subsequent success in the first interview you sent me on is testimony to your professionalism.

Please be assured that I have recommended you to other colleagues as I truly believe that an agency like yours really knows what it takes to get the right people into the right jobs!

          When I recently started looking for a new job in the renewables industry I decided that the best way to do so would be through a recruitment agency. Of all those I encountered Taylor Hopkinson were the best by far. Taylor Hopkinson really make the effort to match your skill sets and ambitions to suitable vacancies. Unlike some other agencies, with Taylor Hopkinson you really feel like a person rather than just another CV in a pile. My contact was attentive throughout the process, taking the time to talk through interviews and ensuring the companies gave quick feedback on those interviews. The whole process was incredibly efficient and within a few weeks I had one job offer and one pending. I would certainly recommend Taylor Hopkinson to anyone looking for a new job in renewables and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future. In particular I would like to thank my contact for all his efforts to find me the right role in what can be a tough industry to get started in.

          Tom is an excellent recruiter, he is approachable and really understands his clients needs and aspirations. I have had nothing but excellent service and results from him and highly recommend him to both employees and employers. I have not met anyone in this industry who is more dedicated and accommodating. Tom has relationships at every level and he really knows his apples..!

          I contacted Taylor Hopkinson Associates during my last post when I decided that I was looking for a new challenge. I was looking to stay within the renewables industry and I was aware that they were specialists in this area. Jeff provided excellent support and took on board all my requirements, listening to what I was and was not looking for. Consultants had very good knowledge of the industry and I was in my new position within a very short space of time after initial contact to Taylor Hopkinson, with very little effort from myself.

          After leaving my old position, Taylor Hopkinson worked very closely with me to find my current placement. I found them to be very proactive and we maintained a strong dialogue throughout the process and I was impressed with their enthusiasm and resourcefulness. Now, when I seek to recruit others, Taylor Hopkinson Associates are the first point of contact.

          Taylor Hopkinson have gained an excellent reputation as recruiter in the Renewables Industry. In particular they understand the requirements of the hirer / employer and the potential of candidates seeking a career in the industry.

          Taylor Hopkinson Associates have a great knowledge of the industry and a gift of their skills for listening and understanding the requirements of both parties in order to marry prospective companies and clients. He stood head and shoulders above other recruiters as he listened to my needs and took time to understand my career direction before even suggesting a potential job for me. The time that he invested to seek the right position, made for me, what felt like a stressful life changing decision (in moving jobs,) a much easier transition

          Taylor Hopkinson Associates have a rare combination of skills for a recruitment consultancy in this industry - expert knowledge of the market, an excellent understanding of the requirements of both candidates and clients and a reliable and consistent approach to their advice.

          Dear Taylor Hopkinson Associates, I'd like to thank you sincerely, not just for helping me to find the right move, but also the way you did it. I know your real client is always the hiring company, but from day one you took a real interest in where my interests lay and what I wanted to achieve – to the point that you could generally anticipate my reaction to opportunities you found. This was in sharp contrast to many others I spoke to who simply wanted a copy of my CV to share with their clients. Your follow-up and checking in with me (even after I'd started the new role) was first class, and while I'm sure I won't be needing your services again in the short term I will know who to call first when the time comes. Thanks!

          I really wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the hard work you undertook to secure me a fulltime position with XXX.
In the past I had a number of disappointing experiences with other recruitment consultants who did not understand the renewable energy field or my qualifications and skills. I was impressed by your knowledge of the industry and its players, and your commitment to finding me a position was outstanding. The service and support you gave me throughout the process, from the initial prompt phone call through to quickly setting up interviews and taking me out for lunch to celebrate my new job, was fabulous.
Your approach and commitment to your job is to be commended. I found you to be extremely professional and very personable. The position I now have is in a great firm with lovely people and a job I really love.
I have been sending colleagues your way (as you well know) who have also been impressed by your efforts. Thanks again so much for all your hard work, it has been greatly appreciated. If I am ever looking for staff in the future, I will definitely come to you. Please feel free to use this testimonial as I have no hesitations in recommending you as a recruitment consultancy.

          I would like to recommend Tom and the team from Taylor Hopkinson Associates for their support and professionalism during a recent search to secure me in a post with my new employer.

Throughout the team's dealing with me, I was treated to a sustained professional and courteous service; specifically in communicating with me and tailoring my experience to meet the needs of my new employer. Tom pro-actively managed me through the process of initial selection as a candidate, resume production, interview preparation and managing receipt and acceptance of a job offer. Throughout the process Tom formed a strong line of communication with me and handled my interest with discretion. It was also obvious from my dealings with Tom that he had a good understanding of the organisation who was seeking candidates. The outcome of this process was a job opportunity that has provided me with a fresh and interesting challenge with a package that has met my expectations.

Up until my dealing with Taylor Hopkinson Associates, my personal experience of recruitment consultants was less than complementary and I viewed any dealing with their services with some suspicion. My inter-action with Tom and his team has restored my confidence in dealing with specialist recruiters and I would recommend Taylor Hopkinson to any potential candidate as a strong recruiter within the renewables industry.
