Testimonials

I have had a great and long career in Banking and Consultancy and in 2010 I had just completed 5 happy years at KPMG second time around when Lisa Sharpe contacted me regarding some really exciting opportunities that she was working on. The result was I ended up joining RBS in Strategy and am now out in Silicon Valley leading a scouting for innovation pilot.

Lisa is unique in her industry in that she cares about you as a person not just you as a possible fit for a role she might have to try and fill. I would 100% recommend her to any senior executive looking to make an upward move. Lisa is just awesome at opening doors and getting you in the right place – and fast. I was surprised at the speed that this happened – probably a result of her huge network and successful track record.

Call her now – you never know where you might end up – for me it was Barnet to Silicon Valley – via Edinburgh. What a story.

John Stewart

Global Head of Scouting & Research RBS
I have worked with Lisa and her team as both a client and a candidate. Her skills at understanding a brief in terms of what is needed for a role – in terms of qualification but more importantly the ‘secret sauce’ of the type of individual who will really be successful in an organisation – are second to none. She clearly has a great network and was able to source great candidates who have subsequently gone on to have successful careers post-hire.

As a candidate, Lisa worked with me on a challenging brief, taking time to understand my personal drivers and interests and how these complimented my professional experience. Lisa and her team were in constant contact through the recruitment process as a source of support and guidance. I’m delighted with my role having been supported through a mid-career industry change I couldn’t have managed alone.
