An absolute joy to work with

Rebecca Russen, Operations Recruitment Specialist, Travis Perkins

The candidates who joined us gave us very favourable feedback on Macildowie in contrast to some of their competitors.

Andy Appleby, Supply Chain Finance Manager EMEA, Avon

Very professional and helpful with a hands-on approach.

Nina Harris, Finance Manager, Omega Red Group Ltd

One of the key differences about my experience with Macildowie was that they offered me help and support before I knew whether my board proposal to recruit would be given the go ahead.

Carol-Ann Martin, HR Manager, Healthnet Homecare

I would fully recommend Macildowie for their bespoke targeted service.  If you have never worked with them before give them a go and let them show you some brilliant candidates.

Ellis Rooney, Site Finance Manager, Pepsico

I would advise anyone recruiting to have the conversation with Macildowie first to see what’s on offer and how they do it differently.
