Testimonials

Churchill Executive Search delivered a comprehensive process for a complex senior hire in a newly created role. Their advice on an alternate process to the norm used by the bank was first rate, tailored to our needs and goals. A wide range of candidates assisted Directors’ thinking on the remit of the role and relevant skills, with them providing quality advice, challenge and observations throughout.

Churchill has successfully supported us here at Bibby Financial Services several times with senior recruitments in various countries. The most recent one being a challenging Country Managing Director position in Hong Kong where HR and the hiring manager were both based elsewhere. They managed the remote search efficiently and managed to present us with really high calibre candidates in a short amount of time and supported the process in an extremely professional yet down to earth and pragmatic manner. We were thoroughly impressed by the quality of service and the shortlisted candidates and will definitely work with them going forward.

I had the pleasure of working with Churchill as a candidate and I was more than satisfied with the quality of the service they delivered. They did a very good job of guiding me through the process and I was very pleased with the level of communication between us, the professionalism they showed and knowledge of the organisation they had. It is clear that Churchill has a passion for placing the right candidate with the right client. I will not hesitate to use them again in the future as I believe their understanding of the client and candidate’s needs is palpable.

As you assume more accountability, you get to interact with recruitment firms on a regular basis. Most often the interaction is as the recruiter but at certain times in a career, you become the candidate. I’ve just made what I hope to be the last move of my career thanks to Churchill. The process took time – because matching candidates and firms should take time – but throughout the process I was struck by how candid they were and how this helped manage my expectations. The key to this was how well he knew the firm and how well he knew the individuals involved in the hiring process. The difference is that Churchill clearly acts as a partner, not just a service provider.

Churchill has been a valuable partner on a senior recent hire. What stands out with them is their deep knowledge of the industry, the market and our geographies. What I have valued is their ability to listen, keep me updated and the insight into the different candidates. The service has been efficient with expectations managed every step of the way. Churchill acts with the highest level of integrity at all times and working with them has been a refreshing experience!

BACB have worked with Churchill over recent years with great success. One stand out recollection is we partnered on a project to source an Office Head for our new Cote d’Ivoire office, and succeeded in finding not just an excellent candidate to fill the role, but also filling the ‘number two’ role at the same time. They provided detailed lists of potential candidates located in different parts of the world including Africa, and conducted telephone and Skype interviews. The candidate reports were thorough and the follow up arrangements for interviews were seamless. We also found the business model cost-effective, and will be using their services for other projects in the future.”
