Clare went above and beyond to help me prepare for my interviews for my new role. She made the whole process very easy, was really personable and encouraging throughout and was congratulatory when I got the position. I had a completely different experience with Clare than I had with other recruiters - she was always available when I had questions or wanted to get in touch, and she came across as very honest and supportive. I'd absolutely recommend working with Clare for any job hunting, and would like to give another huge thank you for her help and for introducing me to my new role!

Clare is an absolute superstar! From the outset of my job application process, Clare's warmth, enthusiasm, and approachability shone through. Her unparalleled passion, expertise, and dedication to her work were evident throughout. Her unwavering support and assistance were invaluable every step of the way. Clare's blogs, insights and tips were outstanding and practical, particularly as I prepared for my first interview in nearly a decade! It was evident that she genuinely cared about finding the perfect fit for the role, going above and beyond to provide personalised feedback, guidance and support. I would highly recommend Clare to both job seekers and potential employers. I am immensely grateful for her support and would not hesitate to seek her assistance again in the future.

Assistant Accountant

I have worked with Clare twice and each time she succeeded where other agencies (much larger ones) failed! On the most recent time in December 2023, Clare found me 5 great candidates for 1st interview and I understood why she had put forward each one. She achieves this by listening carefully to what you are after and taking time to understand your organisation culture, the team fit requirements and the technical side. The candidates were spot on and much more suitable than the other agencies selection.  Going forward, Clare will be my first point of call! Thank you.

Financial Director - SME Bournemouth

I would recommend Clare for her work as a search agent for senior finance roles. We recently engaged Clare at Vardey Recruitment and worked together in an exclusive partnership on a role we were struggling to fill for months! The specification was challenging but Clare persevered giving us options till we narrowed down the real spec of the role. Despite set backs with candidates Clare kept at the role giving us further options to be considered. A real success..

I would recommend Clare whether as a candidate or employer. Clare was extremely professional and supportive in securing me a new role, her communication throughout the process was excellent which is really important as a candidate.

We needed to recruit quickly and Clare came to our rescue. We successfully recruited a quality Finance Manager, what’s more, within the first two weeks the role was taken on and fully grasped, now contributing to the continued growth of the company. Clare has since assisted with the recruitment of a Finance Assistant, we’re so pleased with both new members of the team. I’m not sure we could have achieved all of this without Clare’s contributions. Professional, on the ball and effective, thank you Vardey Recruitment!
