See some of our reviews from our wonderful clients and candidates!

 

We have worked with Hayley on multiple hires over a number of years. Her deep understanding of our requirements and ability to match us to suitable candidates has always resulted in a successful experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Hayley for this reason.

In-House (Global Healthcare), South East England

Hayley and Chloe were fabulous. I have used a variety of recruitment professionals over 25 years and they are by far and away the best. It was a long journey from first deciding to make a change to being offered a role.

Hayley took a lot of time to understand me and my aspirations. She was flexible as to her thinking when I decided to change legal disciplines. Without her I don’t think I would have been able to make the move that I really wanted to do.

Hayley also took time to understand my now employer’s needs and help me show how I could match those needs. Hayley went to great lengths to help me see a role with this firm and enabled me to take it. Thank you very much for all that you have done for me!

Senior Associate Solicitor (Ecclesiastical Property), London

Hayley has always been our go-to recruiter when we have vacancies to fill. Her clear, concise and honest communication makes the whole recruitment process much easier compared to other agents who tell you what they think you want to hear. I have also experienced Harvey John as a candidate myself; it is nice to know their professionalism extends to their candidates as well as clients. I look forward to continuing to work with Hayley in the future and would highly recommend Harvey John.

I had a really great experience with Hayley and the wider Harvey John team. Hayley listened to my criteria for a move and thought carefully about what roles might be appropriate before making suggestions or talking them through.

She kept in touch over a number of years, and when I was ready, she moved swiftly to get my CV to a target role. I felt well prepared for the interview and well supported by Harvey John. Would heartily recommend them to any professional considering a move, particularly within the South.
