What our clients think about us…

• It was a pleasure doing business with court & spark! Having briefed the team to provide good quality candidates that had been properly screened, that’s exactly what they delivered! I was extremely pleased with the calibre of candidates put forward & even those that were not successful were well worth seeing. In particular, Andrea treated all of the candidates professionally & did a great job keeping in touch with them until they started with us. We will be opening a number of new stores next year and will definitely be using court & spark to fill our Management vacancies in 2009!

  Yvonne McQueen, UK Retail Director, Kathmandu

• court & spark - what a force to be reckoned with! It´s a real change to deal with a dynamic, visionary and commercial recruitment company that works hard to understand the core brand values.

  Sian Hession, Retail Consultant, Fenn Wright Manson and Mosaic Fashions. 2008

• "The new role of Operations Manager required operational excellence, coupled with finacial and commercial acumen; it was vital that the agency clearly understood the need to balance a specific skill set with the ability to manage upwards. We chose court & spark, because Claire and Pauline are both seasoned retail operators who quickly picked up on what we were trying to achieve, and this in turn enabled them to find the perfect candidate for this key position."

  Jo McWilliams, Retail Operations Director, New Look, 2008.

• court & spark managed the recruitment process brilliantly, giving me detailed information relevant to the role, and ensuring that I was fully briefed at each stage. The communications were consistent and clear and they were always available to talk out of office hours, and at the weekends.

• We gave court & spark an assignment to recruit for a Regional Manager for Ireland. We knew this would be a challenge, given the specialist nature of our business, the calibre of individual we required and the complexity of recruiting in that marketplace. court & spark approached the assignment with real vigour and tenacity, maintaining high levels of communication throughout and adapting their approach to meet our specific needs. I really appreciated the no nonsense approach, only sending a handful of CV´s that would meet our exacting requirements. We have now found the right candidate thanks to court & spark.

  James Hutton, Retail HR Manager, Waterstone´s

• court & spark understood exactly what we were looking for and when we met their first candidate we knew they had got it right!

  Farima Nezhadpournia, Retail Director, Whistles, 2008.

• the thing that impressed me most about court & spark was their sheer professionalism. For various reasons I didn´t manage to meet Claire or Pauline during the interview process but I feel as though they are friends now! Their communication was second to none and I felt valued; not like a number, which is how most recruitment agencies make you feel! I also had real confidence in their ability to be discreet, which is incredibly important when you are going through the recruitment process with another employer.
