Above and beyond.…

Alistair went above and beyond to help us find the right person for our firm. Alistair is very professional and was happy to have calls in the evening and worked around my schedule to make the whole recruitment process as painless as possible. Thanks Alistair.

Exceptional service from an Outstanding Recruiter

I cannot speak highly enough about Blackden Consulting and Alistair. From the moment I connected with them it was evident that I was in capable hands. Their professionalism, dedication, genuine concern for my career aspirations truly set them apart.

Their expertise in the industry and their commitment to their clients make them stand out as the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with.

If you are looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares about your success and will go the extra mile to help you achieve it, look no further than Blackden Consulting. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Hi Henry,

Thanks for your review. As you’ll see on our LinkedIn page, we have verified testimonials (Live LinkedIn users, not anonymous) from candidates who have used our service.

Would you be happy to provide more information about ‘Misleading Advertisements’?

We take our candidate experience incredibly importantly and I understand from your previous correspondence that your interview didn’t go as you had expected.

Whilst we do all we can to prepare a candidate for an interview, it’s not unusual for a hiring manager to change the format during the interview, often if they went to challenge a good individual.

I look forward to addressing this 1 star review with you.

Best wishes,
Alistair Marriott

Generous, competent, and friendly

Alistair (one of the founders) is the first recruiter I've worked with. I'd recommend him to any CPA looking for work in Europe. His upbeat, non-intrusive style help put my mind to rest. It's very reassuring knowing that, on any given day, he is working on my behalf behind the scenes. Every week or two, he checks in with new opportunities and follows up on old ones. The opportunities he looks for are based on the candidate's best interests, not his own. During the stressful time of job searching, anyone would be lucky to have someone like Alistair looking out for them.
