Professional, not pushy and behaving like a top end executive search company rather than a run-of-the-mill recruitment agency. Savant listened to and correctly interpreted the brief, quickly and painlessly identified and closed the process with an excellent candidate, with regular, but not pushy, communications with all parties throughout. I would use Savant again and highly recommend thier services.

I would recommend Savant as we have used them in the past and this was a quick placement. in just two weeks Savant were able to find different (suitable) candidates, set up an interview and finalise everything. They carefully select the most suitable candidates and do not inundate us with too many CVs. Savant is very attentive to their customers' requirements and provide a very one of a kind service, overall they are friendly, professional and personal.

Would definitely use Savant in the future because the service provided was not only professional but personal too and efficient. The temp they provided was productive and efficient and I had no issues with the administrative procedures. I would rate Savant's service high. Perhaps more importantly I liked the fact that the communication was kept to the minimum. No weekly/biweekly checks on the progress of the temp. This can be a nuisance especially during busy periods.

I would use Savants services again as Savant was fast, attentive, and they provided me with a wide range of candidates on a short time scale. I would recommend them as in this recruiting job, time was a real focus as we wanted to employ someone as soon as possible. Thanks to the great work from Savant we were able to get a bunch of candidates sent over, run a series of interviews, and make a job offer all within a fortnight of meeting Savant. Other recruiters I have used have been very salesy...

I would use Savant again as the service I recieved was honest and more personal than other agencies I have used. The best aspect of the service was the attentive approach and the understanding of the practice.

I would use Savant in the future as I found the consultants proactive, they tailored the candidates they submitted to match our size and scale. There is plenty of competition however, the personal relationship is key. With Savant we have this and I would highly recommend their services.

I have worked with my contact at Savant over the past 12 years and he has placed more than 10 audit professionals with me. He fully understands my requirements, is hugely collaborative and presents his candidates extremely well. I would absolutely recommend Savant to my colleagues and contacts as I get a great service and a friendly and personable approach above other recruiters. Savant take the time and effort to build a relationship and to understand the needs and requirements of the...

I would continue to ask Savant for support with recruiting members of the team as they have found good candidates in the past and have shown commitment to understanding both my requirements and a good fit for our company. I would recommend Savant as they have shown commitment to understanding my industry and business and the skills we would need for developing a first rate Audit & Assurance service. Ultimately there were good candidates identified for the roles on offer. On a personal...

I have known Richard for over 15 years and he has placed me at some of my best roles as a candidate, Richard has always really listened and taken onboard what I was looking for finding opportunities that would help me grow and develop.

Richard didn’t disappoint, the attributes I relied on as a candidate Are equally valuable as a client. In a short time frame, with a...

Shirin has worked with me to source two outstanding qualified financial professionals. I am the Recruitment Manager at Robert Dyas, but I also have responsibility for group roles. Shirin worked with me to find a Senior management accountant and a group financial accountant. For one of these roles Shirin worked in competition with another agency, but always ensured she took a full brief, visited our premises to understand the role and then ensured the applicants were fully briefed on the...

Over the past 5 years, I have regularly called upon Savant for assistance with filling roles from junior auditor up to Director of Internal Audit. Their hallmark has always been a deep desire to understand not just the parameters of the role and the required candidate skills required but the culture of the business, the styles of the key stakeholders and what characteristics would be needed for a candidate to thrive and succeed long-term. This has meant that candidates put forward for...

I’ve worked with Paul Clutton for over 10 years in a number of Risk, Audit and Compliance roles who’s been on hand to provide a range of candidates - from senior experienced professionals with relevant experience, right through to entry level graduates looking for their first job in industry. What I like about Paul is he understands that a modern business assurance function needs more from an applicant than just a strong CV. Softer skills such as communication, personal resilience and the...

I have known Malcolm Stokes for many years and he is the first and only person I call when recruiting. He is a perceptive recruiter knowing that you don’t hire paper you hire people and is keen to understand the elements that aren’t on the JD, be that team fit or the fact that I need an Excel guru who is “bombproof” and can hit the ground at a gallop. He has a comprehensive understanding nuances with the accounting world and is comfortable working at all levels. Without fail he provides great...

I chose to become a professional contractor as the flexibility and variety suited my skill set. By contracting, I am able to concentrate on providing a professional service without the hinderances that impede permanent roles, such as office politics, fear of redundancy and trying to prove you are better than your peers. By working in different organisations, I am able to obtain a variety of experiences and apply them to future assignments, enhancing the benefits for both the client and myself....

Paul and the Savant team have taken the time to understand our organisation, our culture and our people. Paul has found a number of great candidates, many of which are now part of my team. Paul takes the time to keep in touch, to ask how people who have joined are adapting to the business and to provider a wider view of what is happening in other sectors. Recruiting for good risk and internal audit professionals can be a challenge, but Paul is one of a small number of my ‘go-to’ people’ as he...

I have found Savant to be a very straightforward and honest recruiter and I appreciate their friendly and upfront approach. They were very responsive throughout the process, coming back quickly on queries and I would happily work with them again in the future.

We have been impressed by the way that Savant have operated in the short time that we have been working with them. From the outset, they spent time to understand our requirements, even travelling to the north to meet us on a face to face basis to ensure that they fully understood our culture and role in detail. The domain that we operate in can be challenging in regards to recruitment but Savant show a great understanding of this market and they continued to search actively for candidates and...
