I had an amazing experience with Headstar. My recruiter, Ross Wallace, was extremely quick at finding me a place that fit all my criteria at the salary I wanted. He also asked all the right questions before finding me a place to figure out what I wanted out of my future employers and helped me feel fully prepared for my interviews if I could do more stars I would!

I would highly recommend Alex @ Headstar for your recruitment needs. He really understood what we were looking for and kept up to date with the rapidly changing landscape in a fast paced environment. Alex did all the hard work for me and I was presented with a shortlist of high calibre candidates who had been well vetted for capability and cultural fit. The engagement didn't end when the offer had been accepted and he has continued to engage with both myself and the successful candidate through their notice period which has really taken the risk out the hiring process.

Olivia is charming in every way and makes you feel so comfortable in her company.I first got to know Olivia when I received an email asking if I was interested in a role which fitted my CV and profile perfectly.Initially I said 'No' to Olivia as I was in a very well paid contracted job, even though I still needed to travel to get to it.Olivia ran through the details of the JD with me on a Teams Call, and I became very interested.Olivia managed my expectations and those of her Client .....and I am delighted to say that I interviewed for the role and I am due to start my new job next month.If it was not for Olivia representing Headstar so thoroughly and managing her Clients and my expectations so precisely; I may never have taken a very general interest in the Clients Company, and the role any further. Thank goodness I did. You placed me well Olivia and I am grateful.

Absolutely amazing. I can't put to words where i can start thanking Headstar for supporting me in finding the right role for me as a winter graduate of 2023. Rachel deserves a massive thank you for making this easy, whether it was a quick catch up call or a drop of an email, she thrives in every aspect and is a brilliant asset to the Headstar team. I wish her and Headstar good luck to the future and would love to stay in touch as i progress with my new role 🙂

Life is complicated and when we don’t know, we rely on those that do. Headstar have never let us down. They took the time to understand us as a client but also our culture. Recruiting the right skills and experience is important, recruiting the right cultural fit is just as essential.Taking time to listen to the experiences of the business and where it is heading, along with real life case studies of our experiences, focussed the brief. James and Jenny got down to the essential requirements very quickly, then we added the ‘nice to have’.Receiving targeted CVs with a clear supporting synopsis allowed the process to flow quickly. Seamless back office support and engagement from Jordan meant we were never hanging on for candidates or delaying the process.Recruiting senior finance staff is a challenging time, but not so with Headstar. We quickly came to rely on their quality work and effort. Navigating the fine line between job description and business need seems to be effortless for the team at HeadstarJenny and James deliver with patience and empathy exemplify their understanding of the requirements; they got the right fit with the right skills. Would I use them again?, we already are!

I've had a great experience with Headstar! Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a job in finance/accounts. Mohammad Rahman really listened to what his client required and paired me up perfectly with the job I have now. It started off as a temporary job and within two weeks the company took me on board as a permanent member of staff. Thanks Mohammad!!!

Recruitment seems to be a bit like a matchmaking service between the recruiting Company and the Candidate, balancing the needs of both. Responsible to the recruiting Company as a paid service provider, but a duty of care to the individual Candidate as well, to ensure that they are making a career move that is right for them. Work is such a massive part of your life. It fills so much of your time and is central to your financial and mental wellbeing, it is important to get it right. Plus moving jobs is a big deal! You go from being the expert to the newbie, with not just the new role to learn, but new faces – people who need to get used to you too. There is a bit of bravery needed to make such a significant change. Not many people move jobs when they are happy– some do – but often a job move is looking for something better – be it work/life balance, personalities, variation in the day to day activity/conversation or something more significant that is no longer working for you. This whole process becomes so much more enjoyable and fruitful with the right help and representation.I came to Jordan at a time when I was quite unsettled in my career. I’d had years of stability in a role I loved. Varied and exciting work but consistent in all the ways you want an employer to be. A change in ownership and small incremental changes in ethos over a period of time resulted in it no longer being the role for me. I tried a couple of different things after that but they didn’t stick. I knew what I didn’t want but wasn’t overly sure what I did and I was wary of putting my faith in the wrong company again.Jordan worked with me to get to the crux of what I wanted and needed out of my work. He managed to be many things for me throughout the process of acquiring my latest role; a therapist, a life coach, an agent and a recruitment expert too of course. He understood my priorities and championed my worth, successfully matching me with a company and a team who made me feel instantly at home.Thank you Jordan. You are approachable, genuine and fun to work with. You push candidates to be ambitious but always keep that realistic perspective. Keep doing what you do!

In Janaury we came to Headstar for support on recruiting thress new finance staff. Rachel Porteous & Mohammd Rahman came to see us. They wanted to meet the current team and understand the business structure before excuting any recruiting plans. Whithn 2 weeks Mohammd found us 2 great temporary staff, which 1 of them have now been made permanment. Rachel also took on the task of finding 2 more permanment staff, which she did within 6 weeks. Both consultants did a great job, I will contact Headstar again, if I ever need recruitment solutions.

Ross was extremely helpful in assisting me in securing a new job role. Following an initial meeting he understood what I was looking for with regards to a new opportunity and only suggested roles which were a fit with my criteria. He provided relevant information relating to the potential employer ahead of going to the interview and at the same time, throughout the whole recruitment process, he kept me informed. He was also always available at the other end of the phone to be able to discuss the role and answer any questions I had. Overall Ross made the whole recruitment process seamless.
