Report
I had an absoulte wonderful experience with Chris Sale! He is very knowledgeable and kind and was an enormous help when I started to apply after 4 years for jobs again. He gave me a good overview of where I stand in the market and what my worth is and guided me through the interview process. I highly recommend speaking to Chris. He takes great care of his candidates

Report
I engaged with Chris Sale at Prism to support in my search for a Healthcare / Life Sciences consulting role in the UK. As an applicant from New Zealand, I was struggling to understand the local market and how best to position myself. After an energised first meeting, Chris got back to me within a day with two fantastic opportunities that matched the exact brief I had given him. He approached both on my behalf and, following a series of interviews, I was lucky to secure an excellent position (and two offers), that met everything I was looking for. Chris, and Prism as a whole, was there at every step along the way, offering support, advice and his time wherever he could. The process was painless, stress free and his support is ultimately the reason why I have landed the opportunity i was searching for! I cannot recommend Prism Executive Recruitment highly enough.

Report
My experience of Prism Recruitment runs over quite some years. Their credibility and their reputation for expert knowledge of both the management consulting sector and how to support effective senior appointments is widely recognised. As the MD Chris in particular is highly regarded as a trusted advisor by clients and senior candidates and he operates with a level of candour, integrity and quality of service which is sadly all too rare in the recruitment industry. Very highly recommended.

I used to use Prism years ago when I had my own firm. They had a strong, ethical approach that continues to this day and Prism is now one of only a small number of firms in the industry that I'm happy to recommend. Whilst they operate across all levels, my clients today find them best in their "sweet spot" of Managing Consultant up to Director / Junior Partner.
