Candidate Testimonials
What Some of our Candidates say about us
"I was placed in my first senior management post by Rundle
Brownswood in 1990. Not only were they very well informed and determined
to get this recruitment right for the client, the consultant was
absolutely firm in his championship of my choice and direction.
After an initial lukewarm meeting with the client Company I was
not keen to pursue the opportunity. Rundle Brownswood understood
and passed on my objections. As a result of their careful, balanced
approach I did take up the post and it proved to be a very successful
move for all parties.
"Although I have not personally used Rundle Brownswood's services
since, I have been very happy to recommend the Company to many
people
who have all been absolutely delighted with the recommendation.
"Always thorough and warm in their communication, providing a
detailed brief and with a full understanding of the business,
the stressful
process of moving to a new Company was much less nerve racking
and more positive as a result of working with Alan Rundle and
his team."
Helen Averill -Cluster HR Manager Marriott

"Alan Rundle has been instrumental in helping me to progress
my career. I first met him when we both worked in the cosmetics
industry. He was with Estee Lauder and I was employed in the Cosmetics
Buying Department of Debenham's Department Stores. It was always
a pleasure to deal with him, and I was delighted when later, in
his new role at Rundle Brownswood, he contacted me about a European
Marketing Management role with Monet Jewellery. Thanks to Alan's
advice and guidance, I was successful in obtaining this position,
which turned out to be a perfect fit for my background and experience,
whilst also giving me a new and interesting challenge in a different
product area. I stayed with the Company for five years and achieved
promotion to European Marketing Director during that time. Several
years later, Alan placed me as Sales and Marketing Manager for Calvin
Klein Cosmetics, which was another excellent career move for me,
and a role I found extremely interesting and rewarding. Unlike many
other recruitment consultants I have dealt with, Alan has kept in
touch on a personal level and has taken a genuine interest in me
and my family. In my business dealings with Alan I have found him
to be professional and personable, always keeping me informed of
progress and providing me with constructive feedback."

"Alan Rundle found me through his extensive networking contacts.
He quickly rang me and fixed up an interview - one of the most thorough
and effective I have had. He really knew what the job, but more
importantly the company ethos, required. As a result my interview
with the company was a chat over coffee and, when I enquired about
the interview, I was told 'Oh if Alan says you are right for the
job that is fine with us, this coffee is just to make sure you are
socially acceptable! When can you start?' Of course what Alan and
I did not know was that I would end up Managing Director and endure
three takeovers over the next six years."
Michelle Stewart
"Professional, intelligent and responsive. Rundle Brownswood
demonstrated great skill in matching me with a suitable employer
at an early stage in my career. From such a successful start, I
have always found that whenever there is an opportunity Rundle Brownswood
points me in the right direction. At the right point in time I will
have no hesitation in recommending them whenever I need to find
the correct resource."
Guy Aubertin
"Alan Rundle is a brilliant recruitment consultant. From the
very beginning when he contacted me about my current job as Press
Officer at Shiseido, I found him to be very informative, efficient
and above helpful in preparing me for my subsequent interviews.
Unlike other experiences I have had with recruitment consultants,
he was interested in finding out about my requirements, interests
and personality and then giving me an honest view on whether the
post at Shiseido was suitable for me. Alan helped to thoroughly
prepare me and this was invaluable. Alan kept me informed on my
progress throughout the interview process with Shiseido and was
available for advice at all times. I thoroughly recommend Rundle
Brownswood."

"I have nothing but praise for the professional manner in
which Humphrey handled the whole process, from start to finish.
By way of background, 11 years ago Humphrey recruited me into Dunhill.
Although we had stayed in touch a bit after he left C&L, I had
lost contact, but Humphrey had been very diligent in tracking me
down. His invitation to consider Chelsea Building Society came out
of the blue and my initial reaction was that I was not over-excited.
He asked me to think on it and in a subsequent conversation persuaded
me that I should give it a try. The interview catching up on my
past experience was very thorough and conducted in a most gentlemanly
manner. It helped me enormously that Humphrey knew a great deal
about his client and the existing directors and, when I eventually
met them, the people fit seemed excellent"
Richard Green
"From a candidate's perspective, I was really pleased to be
contacted by you with an opportunity that was relevant and immediately
sounded exciting. This was quickly followed up with a confidential,
friendly and efficient interview, and then on going helpful communication.
Throughout the recruitment process, you kept me informed of progress
and I received insights from you into the company and encouraging
advice on how to proceed. This proved invaluable and three years
on, it is clear that the information and advice you gave me was
extremely pertinent, high quality and painted an accurate picture
of the company, structure and corporate culture, creating a positive
starting point from which I could build a career in a new role.
When I needed to contact a recruitment specialist to find candidates
for two roles within the Marketing and PR department I found that
once again, you provided an excellent service, particularly in regards
to quality, ease and professionalism. Thank you!"
Emily Muffett Marketing & PR Manager
Shiseido UK Co Ltd
"You were certainly a great help in kick starting my career
a few years sago. Your diligent research and record keeping enabled
you to locate me at a time when I was not particularly looking for
a move. However, as I progressed though your well managed recruitment
process, I arrived at what proved to be the correct decision to
take the job as European Business director at Klopman AG. This gave
the impetus my career needed at the time and I have progressed from
strength to strength since!"
