KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS & CANDIDATES
Kieran Quinn
Cluster General Manager, IHG:
“Working with Emma was a great experience. She really took the time to understand the dynamics of the business and team, as well as the type of person we needed. Her approach was really structured & thought through from both the prospective candidates view point and ours as a client. What is truly a USP is that Emma knows her candidates as a client so this gives her a truly unique insight into how prospective candidates have operated in real business situations. Other recruiters just do not have this truly valuable insight”.
Julie
"Emma is the best recruiter I have ever come across. Even though she is busy with work and family centered, she always seems to have time for you. This goes from helping with content preparation of important interviews to providing the crucial mental support that going for challenging positions sometimes requires. Nothing is too much trouble for Emma and she does not rest until your best self shines through to those you need to impress. Here's to the person that made my incredible progression possible!"
Kimberly Barr
Business Development Manager – Sodexo:
“I contacted Emma after struggling to fill a Business Development Manager position for Scotland. Emma took time to understand the role, the company culture and what exactly we were looking for in a candidate. With Emma’s first-hand experience in the hospitality sector, she was able to use her local knowledge to cherry pick the most talented candidates for this role. What I appreciated most throughout the recruitment journey was Emma’s communication…by telephone! These regular updates kept the process moving along at a productive pace and I was able to recruit a fantastic candidate all within 2 months. I would trust Emma completely to recruit for future roles and would highly recommend ExecMove”.
Nicki Anitelea
Regional Director of Sales (Scotland and NI) – Malmaison and Hotel du Vin:
“After struggling for several months to fill a sales role, I turned to Emma who immediately took the lead and quickly presented candidates based on her impressive knowledge of the Scottish hospitality market.
From the very start it was clear that all communication channels were open to me with regular updates and check-ins, until we had the right candidate, and after!
Emma would be my first go to in a similar situation as she presents the perfect blend of being professional whilst being friendly, warm and personable.
Thank you, Emma!”
Lucy McNicol
Sales Effectiveness Director, Interstate Hotels/Resorts:
“I am happy to recommend ExecMove services. Having struggled to fill a Sales role recently, Emma was instrumental at getting under the skin of the role requirements for the two specific locations and was able to source hand-picked candidates for us to select from.”
Claire Muirson
HR Business Partner, Edinburgh International Conference Centre:
“The EICC recently had the pleasure of working with Emma at ExecMove to assist us in filling two positions within our Sales and Marketing Department, one in the Corporate Team and one in the Associations Team.
​
Emma put in the time and effort to really get to know the culture of our organisation, so that she could understand the key qualities and skills that were important to us in a candidate.
We received a great response from a good range of pre-qualified candidates, despite it being an exceptionally fast paced market. All of the candidates that we took forward to interview were genuinely keen to be part of our organisation.
We were delighted to appoint two of the candidates who started with us in January 2022 and both individuals have been fantastic appointments - fitting in with the team and delivering results for the business within weeks of starting.
I would happily recommend Emma and look forward to working with her again in the future.”.
Chris Wayne-Wills
CEO, Crerar Hotels:
“I have worked with Emma on a number of vacancies and opportunities for recruitment of senior colleagues at Crerar Hotels. I can highly recommend Emma as her attention to detail, as well as the time taken to understand the brief and the profile of candidate required, was outstanding. Emma is thorough and quick to respond and react to our recruitment needs and I will certainly be using ExecMove again in the future.”
