The CLS brief to Jefferson Maguire was to identify and present to us an outstanding potential Sales Director with a convincing background in Learning & Development in the UK. Following the brief closely, Jefferson Maguire used their proven search methodology and great network of connections to source and provide us with an excellent candidate who not only has impressive knowledge, experience and skills, but is also a good match to our values and ambitions - she has settled into our organisation easily and quickly, and has been contributing effectively from her first day with us. Jefferson Maguire analysed and understood our needs thoroughly, and provided good advice and constant supportive communication throughout the process - always being helpful and insightful. I recommend their services highly. MARK LATHAM - CEO - CORPORATE LEARNING SOLUTIONS - LONDON
