Meet Our Team
Why we are the Experts
Laura is a true professional. She strikes the perfect balance of supporting and challenging you at the same time. Having experienced Executive Search headhunters previously, what really makes Laura stand out is that she genuinely cares for her candidate, the role and the business she is working on behalf on. This seems like a simple point, but her authenticity and passion shines through at every step. I would wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone looking for or being approached by her for a new role.
I used The Candidate because I had struggled via other generalist recruiters. Elliot Jones at The Candidate was absolutely brilliant. This all ended with him finding me the perfect Senior Marketing Manager in the Manchester area.
Blake helped me secure an IT Account Manager role with an extremely quick turnaround. Very quick and efficient and couldn’t have asked for more.
Evie Barker contacted me with an amazing role and was fab throughout the whole process - great communication and answered all of my questions!
I recommend Laura to all of my clients that are seeking to make an executive appointment. Having worked together on a number of projects I am lucky enough to have seen first hand her passion for exceeding client expectations. Laura's commitment to understanding the brief at hand, combined with her pride in the job and desire to win, always results in happy clients; it is common for CEOs and CMOs to call and thank me for making the introduction. Always a pleasure to spend time with, professionally and socially. If you want to hire the right person for your business, make sure you speak to Laura.
Recently had the pleasure working with Chris to secure me an SEO Associate Director role based in Manchester. Communication was really great and definitely recommend him. Thanks Chris!
Impeccable professionalism, her communication was always on point and the tips to cause an impression was of great value. I would like to thank her for the great service and will highly recommend the company.
