KIND WORDS ABOUT US

Keeley is very effective with her communication. She checks in regularly about roles, sees if you’re still searching, and tries to help as much as possible. If you’re unsuccessful for a role you’ve interviewed for, she continues to help find new opportunities rather than ending communication. Keeley, and all the consultants I’ve worked with in the past, have been very genuine and do their all to assist with finding new roles.

Jodie was excellent. She was never afraid to run a role past me, just in case I might be interested. Her interview briefings were excellent as was her communication. I felt seen as a whole person. Communication is beyond anything any other agency is providing currently. It would be helpful to get more detailed interview feedback after an interview, but I know this was more to do with the client than Wade Macdonald.

I had the pleasure of working with Phil during my transition from an audit background to my first role Group Reporting role in industry. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Phil had a strong understanding of the job requirements and was more than willing to answer my questions with honesty and transparency.

Phil helped me secure a great role in Group reporting. Compared with other recruiters I've worked with Phil was a step above in his ability help prepare for roles but also his candour in suitability. Since securing me the role I've remained in contact with Phil who has taken a genuine interest in my career, without encouraging unsuitable or untimely further changes. For anyone looking for a new role I would recommend working with Phil

I have worked with Keeley to recruit for my last two organisations and have no hesitation in recommending her. She really listens to our needs and knows what type of personality fits the bill too along with experiences. You don’t get too many of them in recruitment

As a candidate looking for a role, Caterina was second to none. Engaged, supportive and kept me totally informed. Things moved at a pace and she was always available.

The consistency of communication with Keeley, even when there was not a role available based on my expectations, she made sure to keep in touch and eventually she found me the right job, I’m very pleased with the level of care and communication

I have known Chris for a number of years and he has supported me in filling a number of vacancy’s throughout the years. He took the time to understand and get to know the business and was very successful in finding us good candidates. Good reliable, considerate service provided from someone who actually cared about finding the best candidate for the role(s).

Chris provided an extremely professional, positive and informative presentation which enabled individuals to assess their next career move. In what was a difficult situation given redundancy for many, Chris was able to give essential direction, clear advice and offer future support for individuals during these group sessions. A great number of my former colleagues were truly grateful for this tremendous guidance. Much appreciated.

Jodie was nothing short of amazing in my search for my HR role! She stayed in frequent contact with me and was extremely positive and motivational throughout what felt like a never ending process. Jodie continued to provide support and she was always extremely accommodating. I had been searching for a job for months and hit an extremely demotivating time from receiving no after no. Jodie contacted me with roles that really aligned with what I wanted from an employer and what I wanted as a role.

Phil helped me secure a great role in Group reporting. Compared with other recruiters I've worked with Phil was a step above in his ability help prepare for roles but also his candour in suitability. Since securing me the role I've remained in contact with Phil who has taken a genuine interest in my career, without encouraging unsuitable or untimely further changes. For anyone looking for a new role I would recommend working with Phil

I found Nathan to be more than just a contact at a recruitment agency, he took the time to personally get to know me and my career ambitions and found me a role in which he felt my skills and experience would be best suited. Along the entire process Nathan gave me sound advice and always followed up with me, even after I began my role. I found Nathan to have a very professional approach to his work and also a terrific ability to interact with me as an individual catering specifically to what wo

Jodie helped me secure the perfect role. She made the whole process incredibly smooth and pleasant and gave me valuable, helpful feedback at each stage. She's positive, understanding, and attentive. I would highly recommend her!

Professional, honest, and a fantastic communicator, these are but a few of the incredible qualities that Cat has and brings to a recruitment process. She had guided me through the interview stages in a genuine and caring manner and has kept in contact even after I had been placed. I would highly recommend her to anyone who would be looking for their next HR opportunity and/or dream role as Cat really is an expert in her field!

Caterina helped place me in my new role this May and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the outset she has been friendly, straight forward, encouraging and transparent. She gave me solid advice on how to prepare my application and get interview ready which helped me to get the role. Thank you for all your help, Caterina!

I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Jodie, who helped me secure a fantastic role in HR. The journey from being a candidate to finally landing the role was nothing less than a great experience, and it was mainly due to Jodie's professional acumen and personal charm. What made Jodie stand out was her positivity. It's easy to get overwhelmed in the job search process, especially when you're trying to step into a field as demanding as HR. But Jodie's positivity was infectious.

​​​​​​​I have known Rob since past 13 years. He always comes across as a true professional who treats his clients and candidates with respect. He always goes that extra mile to help candidates find good roles. He is open and honest when discussing roles. I strongly recommend Rob to candidates looking for a good role and to companies looking for a top recruiter.

I highly recommend Lucy-Emma at Wade MacDonald. As my recruiter, she helped me land a fantastic contract role in just 6 days. Lucy-Emma took the time to understand my skills and career goals, providing excellent support and communication throughout the process. I’m thrilled with my new role, and I truly appreciate her dedication. If you’re seeking a recruiter who genuinely cares, look no further!

My experience of working with Nathan was exceptional. From initial contact until he successfully placed me into my current role, he not only took the time to understand my requirements but he also went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for interviews and provided a professional service. I would highly recommend Nathan.

Lucy - Emma, thank you for looking after me all this time! It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with you! I know that you have 100 other people to look after, but you always made me feel special and well looked after! Thank you so much. You are simply fabulous and I would recommend you to anyone

Caterina knew me for many years, so she fully understood the brief, how important it was, how difficult it would be to find a suitable candidate and she did it! Caterina is great, thank you for managing to find my replacement, so I can happily retire now!

Zoe was my go-to person during a temp role I had between 2020 -2022. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me through any issues/concerns I experienced with the role, and was the greatest listener whilst dealing with the trials and tribulations of the dreaded covid! 🥰 Zoe is one in a million to have on your team!

Miles has a great work ethic and is one of the most proactive, dedicated and professional recruiters I have had the pleasure to work with. He is forward thinking and very creative when faced with a challenging situation. He has excellent relationships with his clients and candidates. I have worked with Miles at more than one organisation; I would be delighted to have the opportunity to work with him again. A true professional !! and a pleasure to call a friend and a peer!

Chris has an extremely high knowledge of the local market, always gives honest advice and along with that approaches his job not just professionally but with unique humour!

This was our first role with Wade Macdonald and Keeley. I would come back and use the service again, as the team were consultative, helpful and not overpowering with their contact. We need consultants like Keeley, who know when / when not to make contact. We got the role filled, thanks for your help

​​​​​I worked with Rob on several occasions to fulfil positions within my teams and being a candidate placed by him. I've always felt in both scenarios Rob's extremely honest and acts with total integrity. His been a true business partner when helping me to recruit, a great communicator and really goes above and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Rob to my network.

Rob was wonderful to work with, always available to help and extremely honest. Very relatable on all levels and also highly knowledgeable. A true expert in his field.

I have been delighted with the service given not just by Gareth, but by Miles and Phil along the way. Wade Macdonald should be proud of the consultants they have and will continue to be my go to both as a candidate and client.

Keeley is an absolute superstar and a real asset to your team. She is always upfront and honest and tells it as it is without the salesy talk and she has been a real asset assisting me recruit.

I have known Chris for a good few years now and have found him to be a forthright and good advice person. He has presented at a couple of CICM events that I have attended. He keeps his audience engaged with his good humour, excellent interaction and well received subject matter.

Zoe Jones is an absolute star. Times are tricky at the moment, and any opportunity would be welcomed, but she went the extra mile and ensured I was happy at every stage of the process. She's on the ball.

I have dealt with many recruitment consultants previously when looking for my next step but Nathan was by far the best to work with and understood exactly the kind of role I was looking for and put my interests first which was a refreshing change.

Miles is one of what seems to be a rare breed of recruitment consultants - he actually calls you back when you call and he proactively calls you too! This trait is severely missing in other agents and companies that I won't list here.

Lucy-Emma is one of the best recruiters I know and as an experienced recruiter that speaks volumes!

From the first call she made me feel at ease, and as others have stated does genuinely care about ensuring the role is right for both parties.
