11. TRUSTED PARTNER
11
Throughout our experience with Henderson Scott, we
have found them to be highly professional and have
a great understanding of our recruitment needs. Their
high levels of integrity and efficiency have resulted
in many effective and successful placements of the
openings in our organisation.
I would highly recommend Henderson Scott to
anyone who needs recruitment and talent
acquisition services.
Asia-Pacific Managing Director
Managed Hosting & Cloud Client
Working with the team at Henderson Scott has been
an absolute pleasure. They are a breath of fresh air,
providing a fantastic service and always going the
extra mile to get the job done.
I look forward to continuing to work with them in the
future and would recommend their services to
anyone.
HR Manager
International Digital Agency
Henderson Scott provides our company with a high
level of service and remains one of our key partners
for sourcing quality staff. We require specialised skills
to support our business and they have been able to
support us on specific technologies as well as more
general.
We have chosen to work with Henderson Scott not
only because of their reliable ability to source the
people we need, but because they have strong
service values and have consistently demonstrated
good business and recruitment practice.
HR Operations Manager
Leading Managed Technology Client
Henderson Scott has worked with our group for a
period of eight years and was promoted to first tier
supplier status in 2005. I have personally worked
with Henderson Scott for more than three years and
during that time, and indeed throughout my HR
career, I have yet to find an agency that I can praise
more highly.
The greatest strength of Henderson Scott is their
ability to be a real partner to a business as opposed
to a mere common-all-garden recruitment supplier.
Their knowledge and interest in our business and the
marketplace is paramount to their success, which is
borne out by the accuracy of their CVs and their
interview to placement ratio. Their service is
courteous and efficient but most importantly
knowledgeable.
I have no hesitation in recommending Henderson
Scott and am confident that as our business grows
and evolves, Henderson Scott will continue to be a
valued partner to us.
Lead HR Business Partner
Global Leading Stock Exchange
The most important thing about Henderson Scott’s
ERP team is their integrity. They will always offer
honest, objective advice about any requirement or
business issue. This coupled with their rapid
response time makes them a highly effective and
reliable team to work with.
EMEA Talent Acquisition Manager
Global IT Outsourcing Company
I have been working with Henderson Scott for the
past four years. Throughout that time, I have found
them to be incredibly efficient, utterly dependable
and able to deliver astonishing results time and time
again. Over the years, I have presented Henderson
Scott with many different recruitment challenges, each
one more complex than the last. In every case, they
have risen to the challenge admirably.
As a case in point, having been let down by an
out-sourcing provider, I recently had to in-source a
contact centre in very short timescales. Naturally, my
first phone call was to Henderson Scott. I explained
that I needed to recruit a full team of multi-lingual
technical staff, in just five days. Other companies
would have laughed and said it wasn’t possible,
however, Henderson Scott immediately took on the
challenge with gusto. Against all odds, they
successfully recruited the team with all required
technical and language skill-sets, and a day early.
Henderson Scott are consummate professionals. They
take time out to gather all the requirements and to
fully understand my needs (often understanding them
better than I do) and then attack them with drive and
enthusiasm. I would never consider using an alternate
supplier and would not hesitate to recommend them
to anyone who wants a job well done.
Director of Customer Support
Leading Managed Technology Client
Mark and the team at Henderson Scott have worked
with us for the last eight years. During this time they
have grown with our business. They have helped
recruit the breadth and depth of talent needed to take
our EMEA business from a small hosting and network
company to a market leader in delivering IT
infrastructure services for businesses and the
government.
“Building a talented team in EMEA is vital to our ability
to succeed globally. We provide a high level of service
to our customers not just because of the infrastructure
we manage and deploy but because of the people we
recruit. Our employees help us to retain our
leadership position across the world.
“Henderson Scott contributes to our success because
they listen to us and in turn, we listen to them.
Building relationships and trust is key to their culture.
They also respond quickly to our needs and are
passionate about selling our company. We do not
view them as an agency but as our chosen
recruitment partner.
HR Director
Leading Managed Hosting and Cloud Client
Henderson Scott has given my company
uncompromisingly good service and has delivered
exceptional results which have enabled the business
to maintain a rapid rate of growth.
Henderson Scott really understands our offering and
has used this knowledge to deliver some outstanding
people. Through their placements we have now been
able to add to our London office as well as appointing
two senior staff to head up our new EMEA operation.
Managing Director
High Growth Cloud Software Provider
Henderson Scott is integral to our operation and
consistently sources the best candidates, in budget
and ahead of deadline.
Moreover Grant and his team are honest, personable
and hardworking, always offering first class advice and
support.
