Recruiting for a Finance Manager “I recently worked with Claire at Benjamin Edwards when we needed to recruit a Finance Manager due to business expansion. We spent time detailing the vacancy and the type of person we were looking for to fit in with the rest of the team, and Claire was quickly able to suggest a number of candidates for consideration. Most of those put forward were a great match for our business, and I was impressed by how well Claire had understood both our requirement and the candidates she was representing. Following further discussions on the suitability and experience of the individuals concerned, we were quickly able to identify a short-list of candidates for interview, all of which were more than capable of successfully undertaking the role we had available. Thanks to Claire’s input in identifying and selecting candidates, we were able to appoint the most suitable person for our specific role. Based on this success, we will definitely use Benjamin Edwards again in the future.”

  Dealing with a new agency whilst going through a pandemic left me apprehensive.  Benjamin Edwards made it easy by delivering a high standard of professionalism and customer service throughout the process.  Claire delivered a number of exceptional quality candidates who had already been vetted for suitability to the role which made our interview process so much easier.

Having never worked with a recruitment agency before I was unsure what to expect.  Benjamin Edwards was recommended to us and Claire was super-efficient and helpful.  The entire process from advert to appointment was handled incredibly well and took the strain from myself with a process that would have been very time consuming.  Communication with the charity and with the candidates could not have been improved upon.   We successfully appointed to the role and have an excellent candidate in post now thanks to Claire and the team.  I have no hesitation in recommending Benjamin Edwards to help with recruitment to your vacancy

Benjamin Edwards Recruitment played a key role in helping me secure my next senior executive position, and the experience stood out for all the right reasons. What impressed me most was their professionalism and consistency, particularly the fact that they didn’t “ghost” me at any stage, something that unfortunately isn’t always a given in this industry. From the outset, I had a genuinely positive candidate experience. Claire and the wider team were approachable, transparent, and clearly invested in understanding my skills, career ambitions, and what I was truly looking for in my next role. It never felt like I was being pushed toward just any opportunity; instead, they focused on finding the right fit. Communication throughout was excellent. I was kept informed at every step, from initial conversations through to interview feedback, which significantly reduced the usual stress and uncertainty that comes with job searching. Claire, in particular, was supportive, honest, and offered insightful advice that reflected both her experience and a genuine commitment to helping me succeed. Overall, I would highly recommend Benjamin Edwards Recruitment to anyone seeking a professional, supportive, and candidate-focused service. They made what can often be a daunting process feel seamless and well-managed. As someone in a leadership position who regularly receives calls from recruiters, I can confidently say I’ve now found my go-to team for future hiring needs. Well done to everyone involved.

I have been very impressed with the service from Benjamin Edwards. It was refreshing to use an agency who really listened to our requirements and then sourced a number of very credible candidates which provided us with some very difficult recruitment decisions – a nice problem to have! Claire has been great to deal with and comes with some very useful local market knowledge which is exactly what we wanted. We will undoubtedly continue to use Benjamin Edwards.

Claire contacted me after finding my CV online and connected me to the perfect internal communications opportunity. Although I was already job hunting myself, Claire had a professional yet personalised approach which outshone the other recruiters I had been in touch with. Claire checked in with me regularly, was awaiting my call straight after interviews and provided very quick feedback. Even after being offered the job, Claire has regularly called to check I am happy with the arrangements, which is very reassuring when you are counting down to your start date. I’m very grateful that Claire found me and would highly recommend giving her a call if you are actively looking or considering a job change.
