A global packaging manufacturer engaged us to recruit a General Manager for one of their key sites in the Essex area. This was a critical hire, bolstering their senior leadership team and playing a pivotal role in driving the organisation’s success.

Given the importance of this appointment, we undertook the project as a retained assignment. This approach enabled us to incorporate the company’s branding into an extensive advertising campaign, which included the creation of a bespoke recruitment video distributed across all online platforms. One challenge was to identify candidates with the appropriate industry expertise, which also led us to explore professionals open to relocation.

We are extremely happy with the service provided by the Extension Recruitment team. Their professional and thorough approach ensured that we found the perfect candidate for this critical role. The team’s commitment to understanding our specific requirements and their innovative recruitment strategies, including the use of a bespoke recruitment video, were particularly impressive. This project has reinforced our confidence in Extension Recruitment’s ability to deliver exceptional results and support our leadership needs. We look forward to continuing our partnership with them in the future.

I am indebted to Elaine and Louise.

Elaine called at a time when I had started to believe age was working against me when it came to job opportunities. She was focused on experience and competence. Having seen my LinkedIn profile.

Her research to this end was second to none. A careful and impressive question set to deeply understand my skills and experience in leadership. Her portrayal of the role was detailed and consistent from start to finish. Elaine had a clear picture of why this could be a good match for me, without over promising. Her personality and attention to detail smoothed the journey both for candidate and employer.

There are few recruiters with her calibre and human qualities.

This successful appointment highlights our commitment to understanding each client’s unique needs and delivering tailored solutions that achieve exceptional results. We take pride in forming enduring partnerships and supporting our clients in building strong, effective leadership teams.
