Testimonial

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Management Recruitment Group both as a candidate and as a recruiter to key University posts. As a candidate, when MRG approached me about a role, I was impressed with the way they didn’t just work through a checklist of skills but actively talked to me about career aspirations and what I enjoyed doing. It’s obvious that they go the extra mile to make a good fit between candidates and company culture.

As a recruiter, MRG are more partners than suppliers, working closely with us to understand how roles would help deliver our strategic goals and gently challenging to think differently about the type of candidate and the recruitment approach.

Their tenacity, enthusiasm and clear focus on what’s important to our business drove laser-focused campaigns which directly resulted in a series of great recruitments which continue to add a huge amount of value to our organisation. “
