Artemis Clarke Reviews 22

We recently partnered with Artemis Clarke to recruit a new Fractional Finance Director for our business. We found them to be very efficient and flexible and the candidates they presented were highly qualified, experienced and vetted to ensure they matched our strategic requirements. Throughout the interview process, the team were extremely responsive and took great care to stay close to both us and the candidates and the hiring process was very smooth. We have no hesitation in recommending Kate and Rob for high-level finance recruitment and will certainly use their services again.

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to everyone else at Artemis Clarke for their proactive support throughout the last few months. I think this sets you apart from almost everyone else in your industry- one that seems to have little or no empathy for what candidates have to go through and it is to your eternal credit.

Artemis Clarke provided 1st class service supporting our small charity appoint a Finance Manager. They shared advice freely, with no hassle and facilitated candidate testing so smoothly with a short turnaround. The test was such a helpful part of the process and the candidates fed back that they enjoyed it!

Artemis Clarke were very professional and easy to deal with; in particular the video interviews were useful and helped to shorten our recruitment process overall. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again for specialist senior financial roles.

Artemis Clarke are accountants by training so know what questions to ask and do a thorough set of tests to ensure only quality candidates are presented.

Their service was absolutely flawless, from the assessment process all the way through to post hire check-ins. Their candidate screening freed up so much time for our company and ensured that only the right fits were progressed to interview. As they are accountants themselves, they knew the right questions to ask and provided us with videos of first stage interviews that they held for us. We would definitely work with them again.

Directly and indirectly, we have used Artemis to assist with recruiting and found their approach to be excellent in style and substance. From the screening of potential candidates and the aptitude testing, to proactive liaison with both parties and making sure a deal is done on mutually acceptable terms. The relevant candidates are all still in post several years later.

My favourite thing about Kate and her team at Artemis Clarke is their strong sense of morals. It comes through in everything they do — from their rigorous assessment processes, which ensure they’re truly filtering for the best talent, to the level of care they take in understanding the needs of businesses and their owners.

This is a business built on a deep understanding of people. They get skillsets, motivations and, last but not least, finance — not from theory, but from first-hand experience.

From the moment you engage with them, it’s clear they’re genuinely invested in the people they work with and committed to building relationships that last — not simply completing a placement.

Scale-ups don't have spare cash to lose, so spend it with a proven agency that I can genuinely say has your best interests at heart. Highly recommended.

Kate recruited me to a permanent senior finance role after a relocation and without her I can honestly say that I wouldn’t have found the role.
She had an innate understanding of what was required for the business and could see it was a great match to what I was looking for.
The initial positioning of the job would not have attracted me, but I spent 3 happy years in a great role as a result of her insight!

Kate and the team at Artemis Clarke did a super job of matching me to permanent FD position that was ideal for me, bringing together a number of areas of my interest and expertise into one neat role.

Kate and the team helped us find our new Group Finance Director in a difficult market with a limited talent pool.

What was really helpful was the ability to shortlist individuals by screening their video interviews where the team at Artemis Clarke asked all the questions to help us decide who to take forward.
The pragmatic advice and guidance from Kate and the team was very helpful, what was great was that the team were objective in their advice which helped the decision makers.

We have now found, through Artemis Clarke, our Group FD who has proven to be invaluable.

Kate and team at Artemis Clarke met every requirement for the recruitment of a new company Finance Director.
A bespoke recruitment campaign was applied following Kate gaining a clear understanding of our company and needs, with a number of suitable candidates put forward to us for our interview in a short time frame.
The upfront CV, summary information (including aptitude test), and the video introduction for the candidates, were all extremely valuable to enable our shortlisting of potential candidates for the role.
Highly recommended A***

In all my interactions with Artemis Clarke I found them to be both very professional but also most approachable. They had a clear understanding of the role and the type of person their client was seeking and were able to articulate that to me. The fact that Kate is a Chartered Accountant with considerable experience in Commerce and Industry also make the interactions much easier as she has a deep understanding of the functions of a Finance department in a business.

Great working with Kate and team at Artemis Clarke as a Fractional FD. Always looking to support with opportunities and a really friendly, open and honest environment.

Kate has restored my faith in recruitment consultants. This is how it should be done. She spent time shortlisting and finding four good candidates for our company bookkeeper role. She prepared tests and devised a second interview process that blended with our existing practice. She took part in all the interviews and took an active interest in making sure we selected the right one - but in truth we could have taken any of them and made it work. Would definitely recommend and would use Artemis Clarke again.

Kate helped us when we hired a finance manager, and again when seeking a reference. She was professional, courteous and totally on the ball. Highly commended.

Couldn't recommend Kate and her team highly enough. There's an integrity that is certainly missing with some other agencies. Great effort is made to match the right candidate to the right job.

I have been working as a Fractional Finance Director through Artemis Clarke for over six years now. They have successfully matched me with three growing SMEs in that time. What really makes Artemis Clarke stand out is their rigorous assessment process for candidates and the care and attention taken to match candidates with a business. Highly recommended to any FFD looking for a role and to any business owners thinking of taking the step of bringing senior finance skills into their team.

I’ve used Artemis Clarke as both a candidate and an employer. As a candidate they gave me sound advice and great support helping me to get the role that was right for me. As an employer I’ve found their interview videos to be of real benefit when selecting candidates suitable for the role as they help show a candidates personality and it’s been great to be able to use their attention to detail tests when recruiting for transactional roles

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kate and her team for nearly 2 years now.

I work as a freelance FD and Kate found the perfect opportunity for me. Candidates are thoroughly vetted to ensure they are competent and a good match. The process means that Artemis Clarke know their FDs very well and can consider who will be a good match for clients. The opportunity Kate found for me was a brilliant match and I am still working with the company 2 years on.
