We selected Matchsticks after been given a referral and after careful evaluation of several recruitment firms. During our major growth period 2003–2005, Emma has been managing Advent’s recruitment both in the UK and Europe.
Emma’s key strengths are:
· Identifying and screening candidates.
· Efficiently driving the recruitment campaign forward to a close.
· Promoting the company to key candidates.
· highly proactive approach
The key benefits of using Matchsticks for me have been that I could focus on my job even during extensive recruitment, and obviously, successful hires were critical to achieve my business goals.
Alf Bringaker - Marketing Director EMEA, Advent Europe
What I am most grateful for, above and beyond completing the hire, is to have found a hiring partner who listens, learns, adapts and executes. Your understanding of stated objectives, and your research into our needs and wants, both as a business and as a team of personalities, place you above anyone I have worked with from your industry in 10 years.
Alex Gibbons - Regional Sales Manager Northern Europe, Akamai Technologies
I have been extremely impressed with Matchsticks’ quality approach to recruitment. It is refreshing to work with an organization that is totally committed to understanding what our organization needs. We have also been very pleased with Matchsticks involvement and contribution to other key areas such as recruitment processes, behavioural profiling and sales coaching. Matchsticks are now a key partner for us in this space.
Simon Grosse - Sales Manager, Camwood Ltd
I would like to congratulate you on breaking away from the recruitment practices candidates often face. My experience working with you has demonstrated your ability to not only match candidates to the business requirements identified by your clients, but to match candidate personal satisfaction goals with both the position and your client’s organisational culture.
As a candidate, I grew to appreciate the effort and time you devoted to understanding my personal desires as well as your client’s requirements. Although I didn’t agree totally with the results of the behavioural profiling, after reviewing those results with my wife she thought they were spot on! As a result of your efforts I find myself in a Directors position that is challenging, rewarding and fun and will look to working with you for future recruitment needs for our company.
