What People Say About Us

Ben Chesser

CEO, Coniq
"Hadie and her team have been a trusted Talent partner for Coniq for a number of years and for good reason. In the past 2 years they have helped us build out our sales team in Europe and the US and also brought in a Head of Talent Acquisition. They always bring their effervescent personalities to the table and understand very well how to manage a scale-up hiring process. They come 100% recommended."

Prezzee Inc

"What an exceptional, talented, creative, and resourceful team! Not only that they have helped us recruit two very senior executives in the UK, but also did a phenomenal job in the US. Took them only a couple of weeks to find us a Country Head in the UK."

Tom Redpath

Buying Director, Buyagift
"The GCR Team has been extremely helpful in finding us a candidate for a critical business role. We're very picky but they took time to really understand our business and our requirements before presenting candidates which made our lives easier as her qualification process was spot on. Having a good understanding of our market means they are able to network with people who are familiar with what we do which is a huge asset and ensures that candidates that are presented are relevant."

Robert Ordever

MD at O.C Tanner
“We have worked with GCR and Trifecta on a number of very key positions. They understood our needs, and perhaps more importantly, our culture. As such a people focused business, we recruit for the long-term, so finding recruitment partners we can trust is paramount. I would highly recommend their services.”
