I was kept up to date throughout the process and could contact him with any queries I had. He secured me my current role and I couldn’t be happier."

  Financial Accountant, International Insurance Business

• "Tristan helped me in my job search following maternity leave. By far the best recruiter I have dealt with, in terms of knowledge and understanding as to the type of role that I was looking for, but also the level of service and commitment to helping me find the right job. Great person to work with."

  Management Accountant, Manufacturing Business

• "Tristan has to be one of the best recruiters in the industry. He was charming, professional and easy to talk to. He focused on finding a role that really suited me and what I wanted from my career. After our initial conversation, he had arranged an interview for my perfect role within two weeks. He not only offered fantastic interview advice, but also helpful information about the company I was applying for. Contact was fantastic, and I felt like I was kept in the loop during the entire process. Receiving the email to say I was offered the job was amazing - Tristan made it seem effortless. I highly recommend Tristan’s expertise for anyone seeking a role in finance!"

  Audit Senior, Independent Chartered Accountancy Practice

• "Tristan assisted me with my job search over the 2020 covid lockdown period, when I returned from a stint of travelling and hit the job market at a challenging time. During my search I spoke to countless other recruiters, most of whom were unable to provide any meaningful assistance, however Tristan stood out as one of the few recruiters who really put himself out to try and find me a suitable role. Whilst other recruiters were struggling to find even one suitable role, Tristan was one of the minority who regularly rang me to pitch potential opportunities, despite the weak job market at the time. He provided me with invaluable advice which ultimately was instrumental in helping me to decide what my next career steps should be. I would highly recommend Tristan to anyone looking for a role in accountancy practice in Kent - from my experience, he is unquestionably one of the best in this field."

  Financial Accountant- FTSE All-Share Organisation

• "I recently graduated from university and therefore was on the hunt for a job, preferably in accounting. I never thought I’d end up in the perfect role so quickly, especially given the current circumstances, and it’s thanks to Tristan that I did. Tristan‘s a highly dedicated individual who will do anything to try and help you get what you’re looking for. He genuinely cared about getting me the job I wanted - he’d always let me know what was happening and would often ring me to ask how things are going in terms of how interviews went or preparation for new ones and how I am generally. Whenever I had questions, he’d always know the answers too, which helped a lot during the process. He’s such an easy person to talk to and will listen to all your needs, without hesitation. I’d highly recommend Tristan to anyone."

  Audit Manager, Top 20 firm of Accountants

• "I have known Tristan over a number of years while working in practice. He has maintained good contact throughout my time at * and following our merger with *. We have a good working relationship built on mutual understanding. Tristan can be relied on to listen to what we want and respond accordingly; he is also very quick to market exceptional candidates as 'on spec' CVs and this has certainly worked out to our advantage on more than one occasion. Tristan takes away a lot of the hard work in recruitment and helps make it a much smoother process than it can otherwise be!"

  HR Director, Top 10 firm of Accountants

• “Tristan is one of the most able recruiters I have worked with, he became our 'go to' consultant due to his professionalism and his knowledge of his market. He works very well with senior stakeholders and will always give an honest judgement on a role, if the request is unrealistic he will give solid market advice and if he calls to say he has a good candidate he can be relied upon to be right, highly recommended.”

  "I know Tristan from my time at *. Always a pleasure to work with when undertaking a recruitment process for us. Takes the time to fully understand requirements. Keen to build relationships by meeting you (rather than do everything by phone). Pro-active, enthusiastic, personable, professional and honest."
