“Reliable, honest and skilled, three qualities that you hope your recruiter possesses, but rarely does. However, in the case of One Search, all of these qualities were evident from the outset. In what can be a stressful process Henry made it easy, seamless if you will, providing the correct level of engagement, guidance and judgement. It is not often that I would recommend a recruiter, but in the case of Henry and One Search, I absolutely do.”

Sarah Ubsdell

“I have worked with the One Search team for many years with them identifying a number of excellent associates and associate directors for my own team. Recently I found myself on the other side when I was approached by them about a specific senior position that fitted perfectly with my own skills and ambitions. Throughout my own interview process One Search managed this delicate situation with a high degree of confidentially and discretion, as well as proactively pushing the interview process through to its successful conclusion. This hands-on and bespoke commitment to each and every process sets them apart from their competitors.”

I have found them to be a pleasure to work with and, whichever side of the recruiting process I’ve been on, they have taken the time to understand what I am after from either a new role or recruit. As candidate, I received lots of useful advice and encouragement, and as a recruiter, I have received a strong range of candidates accompanied with honest feedback and appraisals, all of which has helped make the process as streamlined as possible.”

Lisa Shaw
Managing Director, Infrastructure Debt

“We selected One Search to help us build out our London office on the basis of their market knowledge and professionalism, and they did not disappoint.

Alex Yew
Head of Project Finance
John Laing Plc

“I am very pleased with the quality of the seven hires I’ve made through One Search. It is patently clear after the fact that they are quite talented and motivated professionals and fit in perfectly with my requirements. But what is equally pleasing is that I get the impression that quite a few of the candidates that were presented were of similar quality. I feel that I’ve got the best people for my requirements and I’m certain I’ll be returning to the pot when the time comes again.”

Dexter Maitland
Head of Energy Structured Finance (EMEA)
Mizuho

“We have experience in working with a number of recruiters, but none of the others comes close to the quality of One Search, whose team not only has exceptional knowledge of the market, but also a highly professional and efficient style. When launching a recruitment process, we consistently find that the One Search team takes time to understand our exact requirements and then proposes a highly targeted selection of suitable candidates. This is clearly much more satisfactory than the indiscriminate “CV bombing” that we regularly get from other firms. As a result, our “hit rate” with One Search is much higher than with any other firm.”

Jeremy Bayfield
Head of European Specialised Finance
Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank

“Finding a good headhunter is very difficult. We have been very pleased with the work from One Search. They quickly got to grips with our expectations and provided us with a number of strong candidates, two of whom have joined our team.”
