Report
I've have been a candidate as well as using Collingwood for recruiting several key positions in our organisation and have always been impressed with their professionalism and ability to track down quality applicants. We have now begun to also make use of the executive coaching arm of the business and it is already paying dividends. Doug and his team remain professional at all times whilst still retaining a friendly and relaxed manner. Would recommend without hesitation. Gray Richmond, MD Maped Helix.

I have worked with Doug and the team at Collingwood over several years, both as a hiring manager and as a candidate. On both sides of the recruitment process what stands out is the effort that the Collingwood team put in to understand the business and its culture, find high quality candidates suited to the role, understand their aspirations and work to achieve a strong match. Their approach extends through all aspects of the recruitment process, from role definition through onboarding and during the initial employment period, and has achieved great results.

I've used the services of Collingwood on several occasions over a period of more than 10 years and have found in every case them to be exemplary in all aspects. Their attention to finding the right fit in search and selection is excellent as is their expertise in the provision of development tools in team development. I would have no hesitation in recommending them both professionally and personally

We have used Collingwood twice so far and both times have proved successful in identifying a quality recruitment for the role we were looking to fill; a Sales & Marketing Director and a Production Manager. I have no hesitation in recommending Collingwood and would use again.

Report
I have worked with Collingwood for many years, both as a candidate and as a hiring employer. Doug and his team are very professional and competent with both sides of the recruitment process. As a candidate, Collingwood spent a lot of time explaining the prospective employer's culture to me so that we could both assess the fit. As a hiring employer, they ensured that the detailed requirements were captured up-front to thoroughly qualify a short-list of candidates. In both cases, they always communicated openly and in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Collingwood (again) to anyone looking for a recruitment firm with a personal feel.

'We have used Collingwood on a number of occasions over the years and have always been impressed with their understanding of our business and our needs. The outcome of that understanding is high quality candidates and ultimately, some excellent, long-term, employees. I can fully recommend them and would not hesitate to use them in the future' CEO Presspart Manufacturing Ltd
