Recently got a great new role through Anson.

Harry R was incredibly informative and helpful during the whole process and was always available to pick up the phone if I had any questions or concerns.

Would highly recommend giving him a call if you’re thinking of looking for a new move!

Very professional and helpful head hunter

Will Cristobal accompanied me during the whole process with a hedge fund for a Quant researcher position. He was extremely responsive and ensured a consistant communication between the company and I, always keeping me updated. He gave me precious insights and tips to prepare the interviews. Will is very professional and helpful.

Great communication

Very good communication from Samuel Cooper the whole way through the process. At times the process was moving slowly or not much at all but still received timely updates which was very much appreciated and something I have found rare. Daniel Morrison helped make the offer stage smooth and helped with any questions I had. All in all great experience and would be very happy to work with Anson McCade in the future!

Immense Gratitude for Bradley Collings’s Exceptional Support

I recently had the opportunity to work with Bradley Collings during the recruitment process for my current position, and I am beyond grateful for his outstanding assistance. Bradley’s expertise and dedication were evident from the start, and his support was instrumental in navigating the swift and intensive process.

Bradley’s attention to detail, rapid updates, and persistence were particularly remarkable. He was not just a recruiter; he was a true ally, ensuring I was fully prepared and informed at every stage. His commitment to providing daily morning updates kept me confidently in the loop, especially impressive given the fast-paced nature of this process. We moved through four interviews in less than seven days, culminating in a job offer by Friday—a testament to Bradley’s effective coordination and support.

I am incredibly thankful to Bradley for his pivotal role in this successful job search. His efforts have not only helped me secure an excellent position but also made the entire journey a positive and reassuring experience. Thank you, Bradley, for your exceptional dedication and support.

Wate of Time

What a waste of time Anson McCade is.

Got a message on LinkedIn about a role that sounded interesting. Messaged back and arranged a call.
A different guy called me as the other guy was apparently on another call. Discussed the role which I was interested in. Sent him over my CV. He came back and said he needed more work. Again, went back and changed a few things.
This is where it went wrong. Trying to call Anson McCade is painful. Get through to reception answer all the questions to get told the team go out for coffee at the time. I question the whole company and she replies ‘yes’. She tells me someone will get in contact with me. Never happens…
Next day phone again and my recruiter is busy and will call you back. Again nothing…
After week and half and the guy says he has news about the role and I say I am not interested anymore. What a waste of time on both parts.
Makes Anson McCade fall in the trap of other recruiters with standard stereo types just chasing the money.

I will never use Anson McCade going forward.

Anson McCade - Recruitment

Ben Rose from Anson McCade was fantastic in sourcing a new opportunity for me. Unlike some other recruitment agency’s, he was very respectful in terms of communication and knowing I’d respond outside my busy schedule. Ben gave frequent updates in terms of the progression, especially around a busy holiday period and was able to negotiate an increased compensation package on my behalf which was great.

Would highly recommend anyone looking for a new role to reach out to Anson McCade and in particular, Ben Rose.

Best Experience I've Ever Had with a Recruiter

My experience with Anson McCade has been effective, valuable, and pleasant. I was first contacted by a recruiter called Mark McLaughlin and he reached out to me regarding a Business Analyst position in the Tech industry.

At first I was a bit skeptical, as I had been contacted by a few recruiters recently who were either not very responsible and attentive or who contacted me for jobs that had nothing to do with my experience or career goals, which I added as part of my CV and profile description. However, from the very first call, Mark was very polite, straight to the point, and you could tell he actually took the time to understand my experience and career goals in order to find a suitable opportunity for me.

Once I decided to pursue the opportunity that Mark mentioned to me on our first call, I was very happy with all of the help and support I received from him throughout the application process. In every stage of the way, Mark made sure I had all the information I needed to be fully prepared for my interviews and assessments and even shared any feedback received by the interviewers.

Today, I'm happy to say that I have a new job thanks to the opportunity that Mark brought to the table that day and I couldn't be more thankful for all his help and support and for going the extra mile to ensure that I found the right job, that aligned with my goals and aspirations.

Definitely recommend Anson MacCade for anyone searching for their next professional challenge.
