We are very clear about what an individual must have to be successful in our business. Denholm have become firm recruitment partners by doing two things brilliantly. They engage with us in a consistent and appropriate manner, focusing on what's required and being genuinely interested in our business. And they continue to challenge themselves to deliver talented people, this determination to meet our needs has made a real difference to the quality of our team.

I cannot recommend Fiona highly enough. From the very beginning of the recruitment process, she was fantastic, keeping me fully up to date at every stage, always encouraging, supportive, and genuinely invested in finding the right role for me. The position she placed me in was perfect: highly specific, local, and well suited to my abilities, with clear room for growth. Since joining the business, I have actually been promoted to Finance Director, which speaks volumes about how well matched the role was, and Fiona played a crucial part in making that happen. Even after placement, Fiona has remained in regular contact, checking in to see how things are going and continuing to offer her support. She even took the time to visit us during our Open Day, which really demonstrates her commitment to building lasting relationships, not just filling roles. Fiona is professional, personable, and incredibly dedicated. She has been instrumental in my career progression, and I am truly grateful for her support throughout and beyond the recruitment process.

Marisa took a highly personal approach, investing significant time in understanding our business, our values, and the specific requirements of the role. This was a critical hire for us and a newly created position within the management team, and we felt that Denholm truly understood the brief. The candidates presented consistently brought the right balance of skills, experience, and personal fit.

Marisa guided us throughout the hiring process, helping us maintain the right balance of requirements for a role within the constantly evolving marketing environment. The varied skill sets and perspectives of the candidates she introduced prompted valuable discussions about what our team really needed, allowing us to carefully consider how best to strengthen it and ultimately find the right fit for the business.

Her expertise was particularly valuable in an area that was less familiar to us, given the ongoing shift from traditional to digital marketing. By taking the time to understand our strategy and aligning candidates’ skills and experience with our objectives, Marisa gave us confidence throughout the process and helped us make the right appointment.

We had not used a recruitment agency before and were delighted by the service provided by Libby and Douglas. They identified suitable candidates quickly and were very efficient in arranging interviews and providing anything else we requested. The whole process was smooth and easy, so I did not have to spend unnecessary time on recruitment, and we now have an excellent new team member.
