Client Testimonials Salt Recruitment UK

Dave Baker has been instrumental in the growth of our company from day one - a partner we can trust. He has always provided a personable and flexible service approach which has made him our go to for any technical resources.

An impressive agency- Duncan Doak is extremely knowledgeable and highly adept at understanding the alignment of candidate skills with suitable positions.

Salt are one of the best in the UK. I think its important that when you appoint an search firm, they know the market but also they care about candidate experience - Salt do both and more. I cannot recommend Salt esp Duncan enough.

On Air engaged Salt on a variety of commercial and technical roles. Together with Charlie Curlewis and their wider team we have been able to fill those roles with exceptional talent that was bringing value from day 1.

Honestly cannot recommend Salt and Tara enough and will continue to work with them throughout my career - in fact, I refuse to work with any other agencies because Salt has raised the bar so high, that every other experience with other recruitment consultants always leaves me disappointed.

Lizzie from Salt is amazing. They helped us with a senior hire and was able to nail the brief, provide constant market updates and insight and worked on our brief with absolute tenacity.

Have used the team at salt across multiple employers. They always seek to understand the brief, find the right candidates and provide open and honest feedback / advice / dialogue. It’s a very tough market as I write this and they still connect to create content, understand context and provide support for employers and candidates.
