You actively listened to my requirements as a candidate and helped build my confidence as I was nervous entering this process. From a candidate's perspective, you communicated much better than other agencies I was working with. I appreciated the understanding and consideration of role placement, and you didn’t waste time with mismatched interviews.
Waddington Brown are the only organisation in the area that I would go to for recruitment, consultancy or investigation work. They are proactive and knowledgeable. Terms are clear from the offset and always honoured. If everyone recruited through you and candidates only went through you, then recruitment would be so much better!
[Waddington Brown] helped secure a role for me that I had previously discounted.
Natalie has been absolutely amazing - a joy to work with, extremely professional and incredibly competent; she got a really great [mediation] outcome with the process for us, and whilst it is early days, she achieved what many of us felt may not be possible.
Waddington Brown has been pivotal to supporting our workplace culture transformation. The coaching, learning and development, and leadership programme have consistently provided meaningful and demonstrable support for our organisation. The team are friendly, professional and fair in their advice. We are very pleased with the support that we continue to receive from Waddington Brown.

Thanks to you, Eithne, and the team for an impeccable service which has supported and guided us to this wonderful conclusion.
Nina provided invaluable support through all stages of the recruitment process. Her guidance enabled me to better understand the needs of the business ahead of my interview, which ultimately helped me to secure the role. Throughout the whole recruitment and onboarding period, Nina was a positive and reassuring professional, whose knowledge of internal communications was incredibly insightful.
I really appreciate all the support that we have had from WB in respect of the investigations that have taken place recently, and I must say that the quality of the investigations carried out by the varied associates has to date, been very high and helped us immensely.
