What people say

"Kate is an outstanding expert senior recruiter. I partnered with her closely on several occasions to build out my team, going deep to really understand our strategic vision, operational demands and dynamics of what I wanted to achieve. Kate gets the job done and to a consistently high standard, balancing pace with high diligence for detail and thoughtfulness for an exceptional candidate experience as if she was part of the business herself."

"Kate is experienced, talented and so much fun to work with. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kate since 2013. I’ve been a candidate twice with Kate and a client - I’d work with her again in a heartbeat. She gives 150%, isn’t afraid of a challenge, thinks creatively, always responsive and builds genuine connections with people. Kate is a real gem."
Chloe Palmer 
ex-VP of People at leading VC Fund Accel Partners, ex-Global People Director at Tech Travel brand Secret Escapes
"Kate is currently working on a variety of profiles across Tech, Product, Design and HR from entry level to senior lead. Kate is adept at really understanding the needs of the business from both a technical and a soft skills perspective. I've been super impressed with Kate's ability to source top talent in a very tight timeline, the candidates are well prepared and have a great understanding of our needs and business. I love working with Kate and would highly recommend her."

"I have known Kate for a number of years and cannot recommend her and her work highly enough. Kate has strong market knowledge in financial services and has placed me in roles at the Bank of England and Berenberg Investment Bank. Kate takes the time to get to know you as a candidate, understand your drivers, motivations and values. She works in true partnership with you and is communicative and supportive at every point. I was lucky enough to work with Kate on the client side during my time in financial services. She was a brilliantly collaborative and valued partner who was able to provide market insight and expertise, really understand the brief and values of the organisation and subsequently place skilled and talented candidates with us. Efficient, hard working and knowledgeable, Kate was every bit the expert professional whilst bringing energy, enthusiasm and being a joy to work with."

“I have worked with Kate for many years on both the candidate / client side and she is my ‘go-to’ Recruiter. Kate is used to tackling a tricky brief and I have partnered with her on a diverse range of roles across multiple geographies. This has recently included sourcing for top Sales profiles across Europe and the US. Kate is able to cover lots of ground quickly and she is very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her!”
Adele Andersson
VP of People at MedTech brand Antidote
"I have worked with Kate for a number of years both as a candidate and as a client. I find her style really refreshing – very open, pragmatic and honest. She knows her market and gets to know you – really focussing on ‘fit’ rather than flogging irrelevant CVs to meet a KPI target. For me this adds enormous value!"
Alexandra Thompson
Global HR Director at BioTech brand Volition
"Kate is one of the most dedicated, professional and enthusiastic Recruitment Consultants that I have worked with. She shows her candidates and clients a commitment that I have not seen matched by anyone else. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a new position or to a company trying to fill a tricky assignment."
Bashir Bedri
Senior Global Resource Manager at Law Firm Allen & Overy
"I started working with Kate about 4 years ago when she supported me with some HRBP assignments and we have continued to work together ever since. She is my ‘go to’ HR search partner. Not only is she extremely well versed on the HR function, market and trends, she is a consummate professional, honest and so easy to work with. But my number one reason for recommending Kate is she NEVER gives up! Over the years she’s supported me on really tough assignments a lot of suppliers would have walked away from. Kate never gave up, gave me constant support and went beyond the extra mile to find and match that right candidate! I hope to be working together well into the future!"

“I’ve worked with Kate for many years now and have come to value her expertise, guidance and care. Kate works tirelessly to ensure great synergy between her candidates and clients. As such, Kate is a trusted partner to many and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. ”
Laura Salvidge
Head of Talent Acquisition at global areospace, defense & security brand Northrop Grumman
"I met Kate originally back in 2015 when I was looking for an HR Business Partner role in London. I'd met with a few consultants and was starting to feel a little disillusioned: many felt almost mechanical, and I didn't feel that any of them were truly engaged in helping me on my search. Kate was fantastic to work with from the start: she guided me through the different options available, and helped me to decide (and articulate!) exactly what it was that I was after. Things moved very quickly when I started speaking with Kate. She put me forward for a few roles that fit the bill and took time to help me prepare for the interviews, always making sure to follow up shortly afterwards. I felt I could be completely frank regarding my likes and dislikes, and when it came to progressing on an offer, I really felt that she had my corner. Kate kept in contact after placing me, checking in a couple of months after I'd started to see how I was getting on. Now that I'm starting to consider my options again, speaking to Kate is a no-brainer. She's brilliant fun to work with, and more importantly has been able to find me some great opportunities.”
Natalie Lovett
Organisational Development Lead at leading AI brand Google Deepmind
"Kate helped me find my role at BCG and I found working with her not only painless and smooth, but also a complete pleasure. She was superbly informed about her client, and extremely knowledgeable and thorough about the process which lay ahead for me. I felt well prepared for every stage of my interview. Kate works with maturity, personality, warmth, and without the need for jargon or pretense. At no point whilst engaging with her did I feel she needed to make a "deal" nor did I feel pressured into anything which wasn't suitable for me. I had my needs, she listened and understood my needs, and she was able to present a suitable option and provide all the information I needed regarding this option. I highly recommend Kate, she's an excellent recruiter with an in-depth knowledge of the HR market."
