I find Stuart and the FD Recruit team very professional, knowledgeable, personable and open. They understand their client's needs focus on finding the right solutions.
Great role, clear communication
Found a great role and very patient with the onboarding process
Simply one of the best recruiters in the market
Known and worked with FD Recruit over 12 years, always ensure they align client needs with the brief and ensure candidate has full information and spec on the potential opportunity.
Excellent interim provider
I have undertaken numerous interim contracts with FD Recruit across several years enjoying repeat contact with Stuart Clark.
Stuart has always been professional and responsive with good communication maintained at all times. Additionally, he has always taken a pragmatic approach and commercial attitude when called for.
I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart and the wider team at FD Recruit.

FD Recruit have been outstanding from…
FD Recruit have been outstanding from start to finish. They took the time to really understand my background, experience and what I was looking for next in my career. The role they introduced me to was a perfect fit and aligned strongly with my expertise and long-term goals.
Their communication has been consistent, clear and genuinely supportive throughout the process. I felt well represented at every stage, and they acted with professionalism, integrity and a real commitment to finding the right match.
I’m extremely grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to any senior finance professional looking for their next move.

Working with FDRecruit you are not just a name on a CV, but they take the time to properly get to know you in detail, so that you can be well represented to clients,
Highly Recommended Recruitment Consultant
I had a fantastic experience working with Charles throughout the recruitment process. He really took the time to understand what I was looking for, as well as what the company needed. Charles kept me well informed at every stage, and his support was invaluable in helping me secure a great role. Highly recommended!
CFO Recruitment
Ben was very quick to respond and conducted a thorough initial consultation to ensure I was a strong fit for the role he was recruiting for. He was punctual for all meetings and demonstrated solid knowledge of both the client and the position.
Throughout the process, Ben was honest with his feedback and provided valuable support and advise, which ultimately helped me make a successful move.
Professional Financial Recruitment
Christine has found me positions on two ocassions. I have always found her very professional, open and honest. She spent time understanding what I was looking for and then found suitable roles that matched my requirements. I have no hestitation in recommending her and the wider team at FDRecruit
FD Recruit is a high performing organisation.
I found that FD Recruit always matched the clients requirements to the candidates skill set very closely.
Additionally, one of Christine’s greatest strengths has been always keeping me informed of progress during the recruitment and selection process, even if there wasn’t any progress, which is a rare skill in the world of recruitment. I felt well informed at each and every stage.
A Recruiter That Actually Delivers on Its Promises
Christine first contacted me about a fractional CFO role around three years ago. She guided me through every stage of the process and I secured the contract. When I later moved to a part time PAYE role to take advantage of EMIs while still supporting my other clients, she supported that transition too.
Whenever I am looking for additional work, I let the team know and they keep me in mind for roles that genuinely fit. After dealing with many recruiters over the years, FD Recruit is one of the few that delivers on its promises and keeps you updated at every step.
I highly recommend them for anyone looking for senior finance roles and I would not hesitate to use them to help fill positions, knowing candidates will be treated professionally.
Not recommended
I had an appointment made 3 weeks in advance. I spent a lot of time to get myself prepared for the interview. The recruiter started asking me general questions which were ok. It lasted around 4 min. But then in the middle of the interview, he stopped abruptly, thanked me and said goodbye. I was shocked by such an unprofessional approach made by a representative of a recruitment company. I wonder how they deliver their service to their customers! I haven't ever met such a rudeness. Even if I didn't meet their customer requirements, he should not have acted like that and could have told me that and that would be fine. NOT Recommended.
