Target Market

Our company has retained Summit on three occasions for director level appointments. The calibre of people they were able to short list gave me real choice in determining the right candidate. A firm is only as good as its people and our company’s success since establishing ourselves in the UK in 2003 is testament to their quality.  Summit has always quickly gained a clear insight of our business needs from start-up phases through to our current UK wide roll-out stage of development. At each stage a different type of person has been required and they have delivered this person each time – on time.  I would not hesitate to partner with Summit again or to recommend them to other firms looking for a professional recruitment company that delivers.

Summit understand that recruitment isn’t a one night stand and consequently finding the right candidate requires a lot of forethought, detailed investigation, perception and perseverance; something the team at Summit have in spades. Combined with a very high level of quality service we have been delighted with the suitable fit of the candidates we have found through the Summit team.

We have managed to secure some extremely talented people using the Executive Search and Advertised Selection Services provided by Summit. Together, we have been successful in identifying and attracting high quality people to join our company.

Summit Search and Selection Ltd were retained by our company to conduct an executive search for a Director of Retail Asset Management. This was a senior role for us and we wanted to appoint a firm that were both well connected and well placed for a search of this type. Summit listened to the brief carefully, advised where applicable, and went away and delivered to the timescales laid out at the start of the assignment. I found the quality of candidates presented to be high and also the ‘range’ of candidates to be good. In terms of the short listed candidates it was clear that Summit knew who the right players were in the market. The process throughout the exercise was well managed. We received weekly updates making the process both seamless and transparent. The assignment was completed on-time and for the agreed ‘fixed fee’. We knew what we would pay, in total, before we started the assignment (even if a higher salary was eventually offered) and again we appreciated this level of transparency. The consultants were also a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to engage Summit again for another senior level executive search in the future.

Summit have identified a number of key individuals for our company – this was not an easy task as my division within the company was newly formed and had no established track record. Summit worked closely with us to understand the culture of the company and also provided sound advice about securing the identified people.
