"As a Head of Talent Acquisition, one of the important things I do is developing and cultivating relationships with great recruitment agencies. Although my focus is always direct sourcing, it’s a blended model that works best, but finding ethical and delivery focused agencies who are a great representative for your employed brand, and always deliver, is hard as they are very rare. When it comes to Gavin and the team, you have an individual and team that personifies those qualities, and unsurprisingly, he has shown that same excellent service and delivery since I joined Aston Martin last year. Gavin and the team are one of the best I’ve ever worked with in my entire career, hence why I re-use them everywhere I work."

"The ALF team recently helped us to fill a niche role. From the start they took the time to really understand the vacancy and the experience we were looking for. As a result, we saw some exceptional candidates who were a great fit for the role and our business. Gavin (Reynolds) was fantastic to deal with. He kept me up to date on candidates and managed the whole recruitment process seamlessly. We secured our preferred hire and I look forward to them building a successful career with us."

"Recruiting first class employees is always a challenge for any business. Over the past 12 months, ALF Recruit played a central role in the appointment of 4 key positions as part the growth strategy for HY Education and HY Solicitors. ALF took the time to really get to know our businesses and the profile of individuals we were looking for. From there, ALF Recruit managed the process seamlessly, presenting high quality candidates that we were looking for. This was particularly impressive given that there were challenging market conditions. With ALF, the level of customer service we received was excellent, and there was an obvious sense of pride in their work. Six months on, the four candidates we employed are each making an impact on our business and proving to be a huge success. We highly recommend the team at ALF to any business looking for high quality candidates”

"Gavin is one of the most reliable, professional and ethical executive search people I've ever worked with in my long career. As I'm about to close another search it's only right I pay tribute to the work he does. I've known and worked with Gavin since 2016, and that period has allowed me to rate the work they do in my current role and at a previous company. Over that nine year period, he has been my go-to person if I've needed external search expertise with niche financial services positions. I always get several things - speed of response, a quality shortlist and great candidate management. He achieves something I always need, the ability to often offer more than one candidate without feeling short-changed with either choice. Any FS company in the North West struggling to find a search consultant to fill difficult roles should contact ALF; they set an incredibly high benchmark."

“We have a long standing business relationship dating back to 2007 and have benefited from a consistent point of contact and a consultant that knows our business in depth and the type of candidate that we look for, Gavin has made a number of key appointments on our behalf including at Senior Management level and a number of candidates who have gone on to be promoted within our organisation. I would not hesitate to recommend the high standard recruitment services of ALF”
