Testimonials
-
We were thoroughly impressed with Barclay Simpson’s understanding not only of the current requirements of this position but also what the position would look like in 5 years’ time. Equal emphasis was placed on both finding the candidates with the right skillset but also making sure that the candidate’s values and corresponding behaviours, attitudes and aspirations were aligned with our own. We will continue using Barclay Simpson for support in our legal searches.
Chief Legal Officer, Boutique International Investment Bank

We had struggled to fill this role directly at the right level and with the right experience. Barclay Simpson very quickly presented us with two very good candidates that both made it through to final stage interviews. One of them was successfully hired. The eventual hire was completed within a turnaround of four weeks after we had searched directly for a lot longer than that.
Resourcing Manager, FTSE100 Banking Group

The thing that stood out for me was how incredibly thorough Barclay Simpson were in their approach to this requirement – we were highly impressed by the number of candidates supplied and by the breadth and skill level of the candidates they were able to present to us within the agreed timescales. We hired someone who we know is going to build out a best-in-class sanctions function. The business is delighted.
