What Our Clients Say About Us
It was a great pleasure working with Ben - I felt he invested time to fully understand what my background was and what I was looking for - something that is important. Knowing my story and goals, Ben provided help in understanding and interpreting the current job market and provided great support through the recruitment process I’ve been through before accepting and starting my new role. I would certainly recommend anyone looking to change jobs (at least in tax) to reach out to Ben

There was a clear process laid out by Adam at the start which was concise and helped us secure the best international talent on the market. Collaborating with a specialist recruiter such as Spencer Riley in the Cold Chain industry meant Adam already understood the nuances of our niche sector and ultimately saved us time by utilising his existing knowledge of our company culture and the various allied markets.”

During the whole process, he was very supportive and always available for questions. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone seeking new career opportunities in the tax industry. Ben, it has been a pleasure working with you. Thanks for all your support”
Rene Goerke

He has shown commitment to understand deeply our requirements and has used his broad market knowledge to help us find the right profiles. Ben has shown that, through his approach, he cares more about building a strong long term business relationship than a quick placement.

From his initial call and throughout each of the interview stages which progressed over a series of months and culminated in an offer being received and accepted, Ben was transparent in his approach, meticulous in his preparation and focused on ensuring that the cultural and professional aspects of the role aligned. I valued his advice throughout the process and look forward to working with him again as we further develop the Japanese practice”.
