Clair’s testimonials

People Director | Concern Worldwide

“Clair did a super job in securing an excellent new People Director for Concern. The skills and passion required were niche given the very many fragile and conflict affected countries in which Concern works. Clair secured a group of candidates for consideration with great efficiency and provided clear and accurate guidance on the strengths and experience of each one. She was highly responsive and supportive and I am truly grateful for her help.”

David Regan

HR Director | Diploma PLC

“Clair worked with me to secure my current role. I found working with her refreshing as she is well organized and has done immense groundwork with the company prior to meeting me. This helped me get all the relevant information and there were no unanswered questions. The introductory pack she prepared was brilliant, I got everything I needed to understand the company, the role and what would be expected of me. Now starting my new role, I can confirm it again.

I think part of Clair’s success is that she really listens to the company to understand all the nuances that will be required from the candidate. She then takes similar approach with the candidates, asking the right questions to find those who best fit the organization. I find Clair to have a great EQ capacity. For example, she well picked upon some of my insecurities and “what ifs”, and gently encouraged me through the various stages of the process. Just talking to Clair can make you feel great – she is so easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend Clair to anyone seeking high potential talent, it will be well worth your while.”
