Great experience overall

I had a great experience with Anson McCade, especially working with Zahan.

He was approachable, always available to take my calls, and provided honest advice throughout the recruitment process. More than a recruiter, he acted as a mentor, helping me think through my options and making sure I was well informed at every stage.

His professionalism, communication, and genuine willingness to help made the whole process much easier. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Zahan and Anson McCade to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly cares about their candidates.

Had very positive experience with this agency, which helped me land a new job at a hedge fund in London as QR. George Eke matched me with the position and did an excellent job to prepare me for all the rounds. Was a great experience to work with him

Very Positive Experience with Anson McCade

Anson McCade has been by far the most helpful recruitment company I have had the pleasure of dealing with. As a candidate for a trading position the firm, more specifically Thomas Horsley, were always prompt with their responses and very keen to answer any question I had.

Great experience

Fionnghuala Mullan reached out to me on LinkedIn about a new role, and kept me completely informed at every stage of the process. Always ready with answers to my questions, or able to quickly get them from the company when needed. Friendly, helpful, and available, without being at all pushy. Perfect recruitment experience!

Overwhelmingly positive

I was reached out to by Jordan Smith for a quant role at a major hedge fund in London, and my experience throughout the process was overwhelmingly positive.

Jordan guided me through every stage with fast, insightful, and genuinely useful advice. Communication was excellent throughout, it was transparent, responsive, and professional.

I couldn’t have asked for better support. Jordan is a great communicator and made the whole process much smoother.

Thanks again for all your help in securing this role.

Conor Liston from Anson McCade was a pleasure to work with throughout my application. He was responsive, friendly, and kept me well informed at every stage. His clear communication and the way he guided the process gave me real confidence in both the role and the company, and played a meaningful part in my decision to accept the offer.

Exceptional Support

I applied for a role which was facilitated with Anson McCade. Fionnghuala my recruiter, she has been amazing through out the application process. Fionnghala gave feedback every step of the way and chased the company where needed. I received a job offer in Newcastle which I've accepted. I would defiantly recommend Anson McCade for your recruitment needs. Thank you so much!

Fab recruiter slow processes

Connor was fab in securing me a role I was interested in and negotiating favorable terms for me, as well as being great with continuing communications.

Separate to the great experience mentioned above, my only reservation is that the agency take 30 days to pay the umbrella after they receive payment resulting in 60+ day payment terms depending on the role and payment process. So it would have been good to have been made aware of this in advance.

Human centered

Throughout the entire process Jared White was always available to support me with any questions and never pressed for me to close-down any other recruitment processes I was doing at the same time.

He ensued I had all the information I needed and left it in my hands to make all decisions without persuasion.

I've never had a more helpful, proactive and thoughtful recruiter as Jared White, showing the true professionalism of Anson McCade in every way he acted.

I had a really positive experience working with Thomas Roscoe. The process moved quickly, and he was always available to answer questions and provide reassurance ahead of interviews, which I really appreciated.
Communication was clear throughout, and the whole process felt smooth and well managed. I’m really pleased with the outcome!

Multiple Operational Failures / Great Recruitment Experience

I'm updating my review because I have no option to reply to your response. (22/06/2026)

You just posted the dates I was paid and when my timesheets were submitted. This, combined with other identifiers like my full name could be seen as a GDPR breach.Speaking of which, HR also sent me personal information of a new employee.
This breach was made by the same employee who previously responded poorly about payments, and it included the new employee's full name, mobile number, personal email address and more.I think this is highly unprofessional and suggest removing your response.

You also flagged the review multiple times and have made more effort to remove a negative review than to listen to feedback and improve.
This is clearly seen in your response where the focus is on covering yourself with policies and an 'appeal to emotion' about your employees' efforts.

I don’t believe my review is false. I’ve not said this was under false pretence, however it is true that the team was unhelpful. It is also true that I am not being paid for work I completed for two months. You mentioned yourself that the timesheet approved on the 1st of one month won’t be paid until the 30th of the following month. This clearly makes it two months. I therefore don’t believe this is misleading. If anything, your statement that it’s a “30 day payment term” is misleading as it’s actually 30 days after the end of the month in which the timesheet was approved, regardless of when in the month it was approved.

First update 08/06/2026
(1/5) I've had to wait 2 months for approved timesheets to be paid. Payments are held for 30 days and only paid at the end of the month. The accounts team refuse to help or even act in with a level of understanding. Claiming the system is fully automated, they refuse to assist in any meaningful way.

Original Review
(5/5) I had the pleasure of Rick Kisslay as my recruiter. He was clear and concise and handled my concerns and queries well. He would go out of his way to retrieve information from the client and ensured my onboarding was smooth even when it wasn't his responsibility.

Reply from Anson McCade Limited

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your response but unfortunately your example is not correct. For example, if you commence work on the 1st April, your monthly timesheet, which is stipulated by and agreed with our client, will need to be approved by our client once the month has ended. If a this is completed and submitted on the 1st of May, we would make payment by the end of May, i.e. within 30 days, as promised in your contract. I.e. even though you worked during April, your work cannot be paid on until the client has approved your work per this period, and payment terms are 30 days. This is all clearly stated in your contract, which you signed, and again in your onboarding documentation, and you have been paid on time every month to date. I’m sorry that you weren’t happy that our accounts department wasn’t able to flex but our systems are indeed highly automated and directly mirrors the arrangement we have in place with our client.


Kind Regards,

Anson McCade

Zahan - Professional, supportive and easy to work with

I had a really positive experience working with Zahan Bomanji at Anson McCade. From the outset, Zahan was very easy to speak to and took the time to genuinely understand what I was looking for, rather than just trying to place me quickly.

What stood out most was how clearly and thoroughly he explained everything. He provided detailed insights into the role, the client and each stage of the process, which made the whole experience feel transparent and well managed.

Communication was excellent throughout, Zahan was always prompt, kept me updated regularly and was proactive in sharing feedback. I never felt like I was chasing for information, which made a big difference.

He was also very supportive in guiding me through the process, offering useful advice which gave me a lot of confidence at each stage.

Overall, a genuinely professional, knowledgeable and thoughtful person who clearly cares about the people he works with. I would highly recommend Zahan to anyone looking for a supportive and reliable recruitment contact.

Highly recommend Anson McCade and Fionnghuala

I had a great experience working with Anson McCade and in particular Fionnghuala Mullan.

From the first time we spoke and throughout the entire process, Fionnghuala was exceptional. I was able to secure my new role as a Principal Consultant in large part thanks to Fionnghuala's continued support and guidance.

Fionnghuala genuinely cares about the people she is working to find roles for and I am incredibly thankful for her guidance and advocacy during my job search.
