Candidates
“Stuart is diligent and ensures every detail you’re looking for is covered. He makes any transition easy. Follows up to ensure you are happy and it was everything you were told it would be.”
– Sam Payne
“Stuart has been really helpful in helping me with my latest career move. He was there at every point of the process, ensuring that every aspect of the transition was smooth. He went the extra mile to ensure that he was available for calls and to answer any pressing questions I had. I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking to make a career move.”
– Femi Adeleye
“I made a rather radical decision to leave a role without having a new position in place, obviously this was a huge decision as a father of 3 boys under 12 and with a large mortgage to pay; to say I was nervous was an understatement!
Stuart dropped me a line and supported me in the hunt for a role that would benefit me and my family for my future whilst supporting a business that needed someone with my experience and skillset. The regular check-ins, the detailed descriptions, and the frank and open discussions were just what I needed. I have now joined a business where I consider the Job Description and details to have been accurate from the initial introduction. Thank you, Stuart and Alice.”
“The talent sourced by Talent Motion has added a significant commercial advantage to my business unit at Savills and has enabled us to start and scale a number of strategic revenue streams. Their passive head hunt approach, their understanding of our market, our organisation and their ability to match our very specific requirements to exceptional candidates, sets them apart from any other recruitment organisations I have dealt with.”
