Denholm candidates consistently measure as high potential...
“We have partnered with Denholm for over 15 years and through regular agency reviews they have always remained with us. They work as true partners, understanding our business and our culture. They have evolved with us as our business has changed over the years ensuring that they consistently place the highest quality of candidates with us. When we measure our successful hires through to potential ratings, Denholm candidates are the people who are consistently measuring as “high potential”.
I am sure I could ask one of the Denholm team to share our values and leadership standards with you and they could.”
HR Director, Edrington UK
They continue to challenge themselves to deliver talented people...
"At AG Barr we are very clear about what an individual must have to be successful in our business. The team at 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’d have no hesitation in recommending them for senior Executive Search mandates across the board...
"Their marketing-centric approach to the process of Executive Search which Douglas has applied to the wide-ranging headhunting assignment for an Operations and Supply Chain Director has generated an excellent candidate response.
I’d have no hesitation in recommending them for senior Executive Search mandates across the board."

This was a rare and targeted approach...
"We tried to fill the role directly through an advertising campaign. But this was rare (skillset) and we needed a more targeted approach. We needed someone to embrace the opportunity and apply their experience from other sectors to the arts and have a real understanding for what we do. Denholm undertook a proactive search process, worked tirelessly to ensure the top candidate stayed keen throughout the process and secured an excellent candidate for the role – who (is) having a really positive impact."

I found the behavioural profiles advantageous and insightful...
"Denholm recently undertook a search process for four critical hires in our marketing team where culture fit was key given the entrepreneurial nature of our business and the dynamic between stakeholders and peers. Despite the challenges of lockdown, Denholm took time to get to know our business and the types of candidate who would thrive and be successful. They undertook an extensive search of the UK market and presented strong shortlists across all roles with behavioural profiling for two of the senior hires. I found the behavioural profiles advantageous and insightful to help confirm my findings in initial interviews, which subsequently led to a more detailed 2nd stage where I could use some of the suggested questioning in the behavioural reports. Denholm moved at pace and were fully supportive throughout the process with regular weekly updates and we are delighted with our candidates."

The candidates are the best match to the role that I've seen over the years...
The role is unique and the merging of Virgin Money and Clydesdale Bank organisation make this assignment a tricky one. Denholm spent time understanding the business, my newly forming team and the role and delivered high-quality candidates in a short space of time, which significantly exceeded my expectations. The candidates are the best match to a role that I have seen over the years of working with recruitment consultancies."

Denholm’s digital capability, their long-established network and their overall market insight was essential...
Boe Gin has worked in partnership with Denholm over the past 12 months on three specialist commercial roles; Head of On trade, Head of Off trade and International Sales Manager.
Right from the start, they wanted to understand our business and the challenges and ambitions we have to grow our brand in the UK and globally through exports. I felt Denholm really listened to our needs – which helped them produce three very strong shortlists – allowing us to add some top senior drinks talent to the Boe team.
Denholm’s value-add products, such as BrandBox and McQuaig Psychometric testing – as well as their digital capability (particularly during lockdown), their long-established network of drinks contacts and their overall market insight was essential in identifying the right matches for our business.
As Boe continues to go from strength to strength, we hope to have a long and successful partnership with Denholm. Strongly recommended!
Director, Boe Gin
Candidate feedback
Denholm's expertise and personal approach made me feel like I had come to the right place...
“From the first meeting I had with Denholm I felt that I was in extremely good hands. At the same time, I had met with another recruitment agency to help me with my search but very quickly realised that Denholm’s level of professionalism, expertise and personal approach made me feel like I had come to the right place. Most importantly I felt I could trust the team to do the best for me and go about the process in the right way, I have had the opposite experience with other recruitment agencies in the past!
The process started with a detailed conversation not just to help understand what I was looking for and my past experience but it was one that really helped me clarify what would be the best next step in my career. I was massively impressed by the service I received from Denholm and I will certainly be recommending them to anyone looking to progress their career.”
The best recruiters I have worked with...
“Denholm was fantastic from start to finish in helping me to get a new job. Their communication, helpful tips, passion for what they do, flexibility, and relationship with my new employer were all key to ensuring I had the best help possible in getting through the interview stages. Thank you, you were the best recruiters I have worked with!”
Back to work after living abroad...
“I just wanted to thank you for helping me get back into employment after living abroad. Denholm gave great advice and recommendations and took the time to get to know me and understand the kind of role I was looking for. Denholm helped build my confidence and made the process straightforward and enjoyable!”
Career change outside of my comfort zone...
“I undertook a big career change, one that involved a move to an entirely new industry and a step outside my comfort zone. The support, knowledge and genuine enthusiasm in me, my prospective employer and the marketing industry as a whole filled me with confidence. If we all used Denholm we would save a lot of time the first time round!”
The perfect role, after I moved to the UK...
“Denholm helped me find the perfect role after I moved to the UK. Even while I was still back home I always felt like Denholm was working in the background to uncover opportunities and sell me in to prospective employers. They worked to international hours to learn what I was looking for, stay in touch with me and keep me informed throughout the process.”
