testimonials
Stuart helped navigate us through a challenging recruitment period by listening carefully to our needs and selecting quality candidates which had met our skills and experience requirements. This meant that we were finally able to appoint to positions we were hiring into, placing two excellent candidates who are settling in very well and are totally meeting our expectations.
Through working with Stuart, it’s clear to see that getting the right recruiter really makes all the difference in obtaining quality candidates and success in recruitment.

"As someone who (like most people) despises job interviews, having a recruiter like Vicky in your corner to help you prepare is invaluable. She made me feel like I was good enough for the role, and that gave me a sense of confidence that I lacked in my previous interviews.
I can't commend Vicky enough on her communication and transparency throughout the whole process, and I want to thank her for her support. I know the role of a recruiter is to work for the employer, but I truly believe she also had my best interests at heart, and I'm very grateful for this."

"The longevity of the Health Foundation’s relationship with Vicky at Huntress predates my 6 and a half years here, but the length of this relationship is evidence of the high quality of service that we’ve continually received from Vicky and Huntress over the years. With a quick, responsive and attentive service provision, Vicky’s consistency, reliability and excellent customer service has proven itself time and time again, instilling the team with a confidence that Vicky and Huntress will be there to provide support and assistance during the cyclical periods of staff change and absences that the team has and will experience over the years."

The thing I most value about working with Stuart is his humanity. Some recruitment consultants are bluffing when they say don't worry, we've got your details, we know what you are looking for and we'll be in touch as soon as something comes up.
I trust that Stuart does understand what I need and am looking for, which is a strong suit in recruitment, where consultants typically deal with hundreds of clients in an industry where churn is high.

"I truly appreciated meeting and working with Stuart. Passionate about his work and about people, he is proactive and naturally goes the extra mile, tailoring the vacancies in line with applicant skills and personality. His sharp listening skills and intuition fostered enriching interviews with prospects. They also translated into the perfect match with my current employer, both from a professional and human perspective."

Stuart has provided a first-class service (as do all his team!), getting to know SANE and what we require, providing excellent communication and putting forward senior candidates he has personally spoken to and prepared for the interviews.
Vicky is lovely and really takes time to listen, working very hard to get you the best people at lightning speed. We have recruited some great individuals through Merrifield Consultants - an organisation I will keep on going back to.
Joanna Christophi
Director of Fundraising and Marketing - SANE
We had an agency work a role for us with poor results, another refused because of what we were offering. Merrifield Consultants then took on our role and they came up with 6 excellent candidates in 48 hours and we were blown away. We’ve never experienced recruitment like it!

"Stuart was enormously supportive during the recruitment process for my current role at Street League. He really took the time to get to know me and his understanding of Street League and the role of Head of Major Giving was insightful as I prepared for interviews. I really can't thank Stuart enough for finding me this role, nor can I recommend him enough as an enthusiastic and knowledgeable recruiter."
