“Kirsty reached out to me and ultimately helped me land the CFO role at a rapidly growing manufacturing company. From day one, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She stayed in very regular contact, gave me detailed background on all the people I would be interviewing with and helped me prepare for the interviews. I had a great job already while I was being interviewed and had also just been offered a CFO position at another company. Kirsty gave me what I felt was a balanced perspective and helped me make a decision as to which offer I should accept. She never once pressured me to take the role to which she would be given a commission. She consistently took the "long" view and focused on what was right for me, which, in turn, would be the right choice for her client. I have had a lot of recruiters reach out to me over the years. Kirsty is in a league of her own. I HIGHLY recommend her.”
