Client Testimonials
From our experience of working with The Engagement Effect, it is clear they differentiate from other recruiters. They were entirely committed to the process, created positive experiences for all parties involved and ensured a successful appointment was made within our tight timescales.
They invested time to get to know our business, meet our team, understand our requirements as well as the ethos within the team and the wider organisation.
The Engagement Effect made special efforts to make sure that the job description fully reflected the opportunity and the true nature of the responsibilities. They then made sure the opportunity was marketed appropriately at the right level – not just for the right candidates but pitching it culturally.
The execution of the recruitment process was first class – as was The Engagement Effect’s engagement and communication throughout. They invested time and effort in getting the detail right. The final shortlist was of the highest calibre; it was clear they were fully briefed, and they were all highly engaged in the process. With such a good quality of candidates that reflected our requirements it was hard to make the final decision! The selection and subsequent feedback process was also very professionally executed."
HR Director, Financial Services
Having joined a start-up experiencing significant growth with all challenges of a new company and a lack of HR infrastructure, I urgently needed to recruit some key HR talent for the team. I was especially keen to find a recruitment partner skilled in identifying key HR talent – with whom I could build a trusted partnering relationship.
The Engagement Effect really got to understand our business, and nothing was too much trouble. They were highly responsive and worked at the pace I needed!
They really sought to understand my leadership style and the culture in the business so that he could represent the opportunity to potential talent. When I met with potential candidates, I tested their understanding of the opportunity The Engagement Effect had presented to them – it was spot on every time!
I’d describe my experience working with The Engagement Effect as Fun, fast paced and effective.
I regard them as a partner to our business, they sought to really understand the business and supported the process throughout. They were always very responsive and enthusiastic – this was relayed to candidates and helped engage potential candidates. I’d recommend The Engagement Effect to whoever might be considering partnering with an HR / Talent recruiter, they understand the challenges in HR and have a great network in the market."
HR Director, Life Sciences
The Engagement Effect is very thorough in their style. They ensure they have an excellent understanding of the business, the culture, team, stakeholders and ‘why’ a candidate would ‘fit’ and be ‘passionate’ about working for them.
They take time to get to know all parties. They provide an in-depth candidate profile to the organisation which clearly shows they have taken the time to get to know the candidate and really understand what they are looking for thus ensuring a good match for the organisation.
Organisations are busy and need to know that the recruiter has identified candidates that are a good match. The Engagement Effect does this and if they feel a candidate isn’t quite right, whilst discussing them with the organisation, they might decide not to put them forward unless the organisation is in agreement.
I’d describe The Engagement Effect’s execution of the recruitment process and the quality of communication as excellent – honest and timely throughout. They successfully filled our role within a few days. The candidate shortlist was very accurate and highly engaged. The candidates had a thorough understanding of the role and Company before they were interviewed and were able to draw on this. The shortlist was also ‘short’ – which is a credit to them as far too many recruiters submit candidates in the hope they will ‘stick’."

Candidate Testimonials
I found The Engagement Effect to be incredibly helpful and engaging. They have placed me into a role that was perfect for me. They clearly have a great knowledge and expertise in working with HR professionals, they recognised this would be a great job/person fit and worked hard to make it happen! I would highly recommend their services and would work with them again in a heartbeat."

Working with The Engagement Effect has been refreshing and an absolute pleasure from initial contact, throughout the interview process and the regular check-ins since starting my new role. I’m fairly certain this is not a phrase I have used about job hunting and the recruiter experience previously! I have been placed in a fabulous role and I simply don’t believe I would have had this opportunity without The Engagement Effect’s professional knowledge and support both to myself and my new employer.
I felt that The Engagement Effect had invested time in me to get to know me and fully understood both what I was looking for but also could recognise my experience to date and where the transferable skills might fit in the organisation that I now work for. The role is certainly a step up and had I seen the role advertised I might not have put myself forward—so this is where The Engagement Effect’s expertise has really benefitted both myself and my new employer. They took time to think outside the box and I don’t see that often in recruiting. Similarly, I felt they’d taken just as much time getting to know the client and understand their needs and got a very strong impression that they had done their research fully on both sides in order to make an informed selection of candidates.
The biggest differentiator for me with The Engagement Effect’s approach versus others is that it was targeted and thought through. Too often you are approached through LinkedIn by researchers who have a tick list and who rigidly stick to it, without recognising transferable skills. As a candidate, it feels impersonal and like a checklist, and the impression often given is it is a simple transaction to fill a role. The Engagement Effect’s wealth of experience enabled them to look deeper than a simple LinkedIn profile and CV. We had a number of in-depth conversations prior to being put forward and they never rushed the conversation and were always receptive to questions. This genuinely felt like a two-way process for both myself and the employer. I never felt “sold to” and always felt they had the best interests of both sides. I appreciated the level of detail they provided me on my employer and where I had questions, they reverted with answers.
I would not hesitate to recommend The Engagement Effect."

I’ve worked with many recruiters over the years and working with The Engagement Effect was one of the most positive experiences I’ve had. They clearly understood their client, took the time to understand me, and made sure that I was kept in the loop and engaged at all stages of the process. I was on a long notice period and The Engagement Effect kept in touch throughout selection, during my notice, and even after I’d joined. They are naturally engaging and a pleasure to work with.
I hugely value a candid approach and The Engagement Effect both understood this and operated in this way. I feel they were open and honest about their client, and I feel they were equally honest with them about me. I’m not a fan of being ‘sold to’ and don’t feel this is the way that The Engagement Effect approached this campaign for their client. It felt like they went the extra mile to ensure absolutely the right match of candidate to company – which for this company is key.
I’ve not worked with many recruiters from this side of the fence – I’m usually on the other side! As I say, I dislike hard sell, and whilst The Engagement Effect is clearly extremely experienced and great at what they do, they’re not your typical ‘hard sell’ recruiter – which suits me perfectly!
I would absolutely refer other individuals to The Engagement Effect."

Fantastic experience, from the very first call through to the offer. The turnaround was quick, and the communication and feedback in terms of how the interview went, what the client was looking for, and how to best prepare myself for the interview was all driven fantastically by The Engagement Effect.
I had been in the mix with a few interviews, but with The Engagement Effect I genuinely felt they took the time to understand me, my personality, and what I was looking for in my career.
I would definitely recommend The Engagement Effect—they really know their stuff, and I know the organisation I was hired into will also be using them again if we need to hire. They are a genuine partner, in the sense that they know their clients and you feel that they are taking the time to represent them in the hiring process. With a lot of agencies, you can feel like you're one of several people in a process, but The Engagement Effect’s style is very much dedicated to making you as prepared as possible for the interview and the role expectations, so it’s a great approach."
