Stephen rapidly provided a range of great candidates for a senior sales role utilising-DNAs platform so succinct first interviews were provided. These could be viewed, discussed internally and re-reviewed prior to shortlisting for final interviews. The main challenge was the selection decisions as all the professionals proposed were excellent.

Ali and his team at DNA took great care and support throughout the entire process. A great head hunter with both a strategic and human connection with businesses and their talents. Lots of fun as well!

I've just had the pleasure of working with DNA and securing a new and exciting job. From the first conversation until the job offer both Ali and Leatitia were professional and insightful offering good advice and keeping me updated at every step. The biggest difference I found working with DNA was their ability to help me see the opportunity from a perspective that I could have missed out on if I'd gone for this on my own. This perspective changed my approach and brought a higher level of appreciation not just for the opportunity but also for the understanding DNA had of the company and its future goals. I'm very excited about this next stage of my career and am very grateful for the work DNA has done behind the scenes to assist me in getting the job.

DNA Recruit was an absolute lifesaver. After six months of searching and attending interviews that didn't yield any results, they helped me secure a job. The team, especially Leatitia, displayed a high level of professionalism and guided me through each round of interviews to help me find a career-defining role. Their transparency, inspiration, and promptness throughout the process were commendable. Despite having worked with numerous recruiters during my 16 years in digital marketing, I can confidently say that this was the best team I've encountered. And, I must mention, the delightful gift hamper I received upon landing the job was the sweetest cherry on top of the cake.

Ali, Leatitia and Varun at DNA are brilliant. I have varied experience with recruiters over the years, as a client and candidate, and I have to say that DNA has been the best. As the successful candidate for this mega role, I can’t thank them enough for the crucial role they’ve played in making it happen. From Varun bringing the role to my attention in the first place to Ali and Leatitia helping negotiate complicated, yet fabulous terms, they have been warm, understanding and diligent throughout. If I was the client this is exactly how I would want my recruitment partner to support the delivery of my growth strategy. In my new role, as the client, I will be using DNA to do just that.
