As a general rule, recruitment agencies waste my time. They fail to understand my brief properly, do not take the time to appreciate the culture of my business to any degree of accuracy, and are expensive to boot. Ivy is an exception: I was introduced to her by a friend in the industry and I have had very good experiences thus far. Apart from responding to my briefs and sending me people who accurately react that brief, she’s also astute enough to send me the CVs of candidates who may interest me, even though I may not be looking. In fact, I have just employed someone she sent me even though I didn’t have a slot available, because his credentials were too good to pass up. I have no hesitation in recommending Ivy. She is responsive, intuitively understands my business, and listens to what I want very carefully.
