"Sadie has a specific set of priorities when it comes to the hiring process. She focuses on finding candidates who possess relevant experience, exceptional communication skills, and a demonstrated history of success.

By implementing these strategies, Sadie has refined her ability to identify the ideal candidates for the job."
Richard L. Robertson Jr.

"Sadie reached out to me about a position that she thought I would be well-suited for. Turns out she found a perfect match for my skills and expertise at the type of company I wanted to join. She communicated frequently and let me know each phase as it was reached, and what to expect. I believe she balanced being an advocate for the company and for myself (the prospective employee) well. She is a highly professional and kind individual and I couldn't recommend her more."

"Adam is a highly recommended recruiter. I have been able to deal with him while looking for my new challenge and am happy to trust him now to strengthen our team. He is proactive, has a wide network and is able to catch exactly what is required to connect the right candidate to his future employer."
Manuel Boerwanger
Project Manager at Sottas SA
"Adam acted on my behalf in negotiating my position with DMC Walling. All through he acted with total professionalism whilst not being officious. He managed me and DMC and brought us together, fulfilling both our expectations. He understood the requirements of DMC whilst exploring my potential and ended up matching us up perfectly. I can honestly say it was a pleasure dealing with Adam, being one of the very few recruitment agents that were there for both sides rather than just trawling for CVs, which most agents seem to do nowadays."
It must be said that there are good recruitment agents out there and Adam is one!
James Powell
Facade Designer/Design Manager at DMC Walling
"I would recommend Adam for helping me find a new role. Adam has great communication skills and was always in touch throughout the process."

The initial contact was handled professionally, and communication was consistent, transparent, and proactive throughout the process. I appreciated the constant updates and feedback after each call with Staticus. The entire hiring process duration was just right—not too long or short. Lengthy procedures can demotivate, while shorter ones can induce anxiety. Overall, the recruitment process gave me a very positive impression of Spencer Riley, and I would surely recommend them to other job seekers.

Staticus – Head of Procurement & Supply Chain
We have worked in partnership with Spencer Riley on Business Development hires for new business ventures, Engineering hires for our core business, and Director level hires on difficult-to-fill positions. Their tenacity in ensuring that they provide an exhaustive search, means we can be confident we have secured the very best candidate for our company.

There was a clear process laid out by Adam at the start which was concise and helped us secure the best international talent on the market. Collaborating with a specialist recruiter such as Spencer Riley in the Cold Chain industry meant Adam already understood the nuances of our niche sector and ultimately saved us time by utilising his existing knowledge of our company culture and the various allied markets.”
