I worked with Linda for the recruitment of a key senior leadership role within the business. I was delighted with the service that Linda provided right from the outset and the candidate we secured with her help, was a perfect fit for our business. From reviewing and giving feedback on the job description, to writing an advert, screening candidates, providing detailed assessments and interview follow up questions, she took the hard work out of the recruitment process. Not forgetting to mention that this was one of the most cost effective recruitment processes I have ever been part of.

I would highly recommend Linda, who brings a refreshing change to the recruitment process and is great to work with.

Linda has been an NED with Collabed for almost 5 months now, since coming onboard she has shared knowledge of talent acquisition markets, segmentation and drivers. She has also provided knowledge on talent customer base process, priorities, pain points and tech requirements. Linda has also introduced Collabed to significant potential partners and suppliers. To summarise, Linda’s broad knowledge of talent acquisition has already been fundamental to directing the business’s strategy, marketing and tech.

Linda provided an excellent service in helping me find my new Head of Human Resources (Leadership Team member) and operated like an internal HR Director as opposed to a consultant. Linda understood our business and took the time to understand where we were in our HR and workplace culture transformation journey. This was a critical nuance to understand. I did not have the bandwidth so Linda took control of the end to end process details including: JD, candidate spec, sourcing campaign and 1st round interview screening to provide a shortlist with an easy and logical summary for selection. Linda provided a great value add solution service alternative to an agency.
