Senior Appointments

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It has been a pleasure working with Stuart as a candidate and as a client. He took the time to thoroughly understand my skills, experiences, and career aspirations, ensuring a perfect match with the job opportunity. Also, Stuart has a positive attitude and enthusiasm, and he was incredibly diligent in keeping me informed and prepared at every stage, from the initial conversation to the final interview, and that makes him stand out as an outstanding hard-working professional. When recruiting for my team, he is someone who understands the challenges, dynamics, and culture to seek out the very best people for the team. I highly recommend Stuart to anyone seeking a diligent, positive, and professional charity recruiter."
