I would have no hesitation in recommending Eton Bridge. From the get-go, they make it clear and easy (evidenced by their transparent terms and frankness in the time it can take to look for unicorns). They are relationship builders above fee earners. They get PE, can sell it and will challenge you in a super supportive and helpful way. I really liked working with them and we hired a great candidate through them.

Working on an appointment of a Chief People Officer, they took the time to understand our business, and what I was looking for – getting under the surface of the brief. Working in partnership together meant the search was successful in a relatively short timeframe.
