methodology

"Ian provided an excellent recruitment service for me at Convergys, supplementing the core skill set of the team through use of his expert industry knowledge and network. His SAP network is second to none and not only did he provide an excellent quality service, he delivered to brief every single time. Ian's main exper-tise is truly understanding the customers’ needs and sourcing good quality resources in line with that ex-pectation. There is not one instance where Ian did not provide the right person, at the right time. He takes time to understand your needs, the business model and the type of person that will support your imple-mentation requirements. He is actively involved in the recruitment process, provides regular feedback on the progress and is quick to close the deal when needed. Although I used Ian mainly as a recruitment service, I would consider him to be a core additional member of the team. He was the person I would look to when trying to assess what type of person I needed for a specific task, and in all instances he had someone already in mind. If you are looking for someone to de-liver you good quality resources for projects, and es-pecially for SAP, then look no further. I will continue to use Ian in all future recruitment needs". Director IT, Convergys

“Ian is an excellent resource professional and partner. We had a very difficult and complex (and high-profile) project in which we needed specific technical support to turn this around. Ian was able to locate the re-sources that were required quickly, effectively and efficiently. The project was saved and much of it due to Ian's work. Ian's consultative selling skills and pro-fessionalism make him someone I would recommend without hesitation."Programme Manager, Informa Media

“During the past couple of years I have had some re-source requirements that have required a pragmatic and open approach. During this time Ian has delivered quality candidates without showering me with CV's. He is excellent in interpreting requirements and hence approaching relevant and credible candidates for roles. He delivers on his commitments. A great part-ner to work with.”IT Director, Unilever PLC

"I have had the pleasure of working with Niki Keeley for the last two and a half years and she has proven to be an efficient recruiter and excellent relationship builder. Niki has successfully supplied us with good quality resources on a number of occasions when we had SAP requirements and her consistently good re-sponsiveness and communication was an outstanding characteristic of her assignment execution. I found her professional and to the point in her approach and regarded her as a valuable member of our extended resourcing team."Consulting Manager, IDS Scheer (UK)
