It’s not often you think of recruitment agencies as a trusted partner. Working with Church I have built up a trusted and valued relationship that leads to exceptional responsiveness and valued contributions.   Church break the mould with their direct and hassle-free approach. They simply understand the needs of the client and execute this within the market place. I would and have recommended Church to various other peers as well as people searching for positions.

Having worked closely with Church International; in particular Adrian Horwood and his team over the last 14 months, I would have no hesitation in recommending their service.  Always very responsive and they strive to provide quality candidates

Insurance & Pensions

I have worked with Church International for many years mostly as a hiring technical manager in organisations such as Reuters, UBS and now at Directline Group.  Over this time our relationship has matured into an very effective collaboration.   Whether I am a recruiter or a candidate Church International always provides a professional service, tailored to my sometimes quite specific business requirements.  As a recruiter I can confidently say that the CV / Interview ratio with Church International is consistently amongst the best I have experienced.  Brian Fitzgerald and his team have good relationships with the candidates they are representing and only promote people that they believe to be a good cultural fit within the target organisation.    My experience as a candidate is that Church International ensure briefing packs are of high quality and aligned to the target organisation.  They maintain contact with both candidate and recruiter during the length of the engagement to maximise the effectiveness and value to their customers.

Accounting & Legal

I have been working with Church for over two years and in that time they have placed several high calibre candidates (IT Project Managers and BAs) with us, while providing an excellent fast and flexible service.  Our Account Manager, Adrian (supported by an equally helpful and efficient team) has been my main contact during this time and I have always found he has understood my requirements, the company and industry well and above all, has been extremely transparent and responsive with all our dealings. He has always been able to come up with a selection of well-considered and suitable candidates, even when given very short notice or with a challenging client brief. I've always found working with Church reliable and hassle free, and would recommend them to anyone who has any recruitment needs.

Patrick Randell | Implementation Manager at Ashurst LLP

Since being on site with PwC and working with Church International, they have been not only able to supply superior candidates within the marketplace but also go above and beyond in providing both current and accurate forecasted market trends to enable our business to continue to grow and develop by introducing a strong and flexible workforce. When I engage with the team at Church international I know I will have access to resources that no other agent can provide due to the longstanding professional relationship they have with all of their candidates. This makes Church International a superior recruitment agency that are not only reliable but also overachievers.

I have been working with Church International recently and have been impressed by the quality of their service, The Account Manager, Phil Jennings, has been particularly responsive and attentive.  He is not just interested in a quick fix but he cares about brand management by ensuring a quality service is delivered to both candidates and clients alike.

Benoit Margueritte | Talent Acquisition Consultant at Carlson Wagonlit Travel

What I so like about dealing with Church International is that, in addition to understanding the role, they also take the time to understand the culture of the business to try and ensure that anyone they put forward will not just be suitable and capable, but will ‘fit’. They sent 5 CVs, we interviewed 3, employed one! Why make it difficult?

I have engaged Chriss' company for headhunter/recruitment assignments many times over the years and she has never failed to deliver, irrespective of the timescale or specialist skills/experience I was seeking. 

I have also recommended her to a number of friends and colleagues all of whom have reported similarly positive results, the most recent just a couple of months ago.
