Success Stories

I have worked with Dan over quite a number of years, both as a candidate and also when recruiting myself. I have always found him to be very open, honest and easy to deal with. He offers candidates good insights as he really gets to know his clients and works to match people to the role and culture of a business.

He is also one of the few who gets and gives feedback to candidates which is also important. Hence, I would highly recommend working with Dan, whether you are looking for staff or looking for a new role yourself.

I would highly recommend working with Daniel.

The whole recruiting process was made very clear and Daniel was attentive and supporting throughout the hiring process.

The role I was recommended for was a clear fit to my skill set and the communication from him on behalf of the employer was clear and honest. Daniel also followed up a number of times following the confirmed offer to ensure my onboarding plan was in place and on track.

A very positive and professional approach.

I have worked with Dan over several years now. The biggest compliment I would give him is that he understands my requirements and therefore always presents me with relevant candidates. Consequently we have worked on several successful hires together. I look forward to continue working with Dan in the future

“Organised, responsive, knowledgeable and supportive”
Unlike several major recruitment business players – Umami and Daniel have certainly raised the bar when it comes to supporting candidates through a recruitment process. From the initial conversation outlining the role, company and culture, through interview process prep and feedback, and finally to the contract negotiation and ultimately 2weeks in “check-in”, it has been engaging, open, honest and enjoyable relationship. Never did I feel ignored, or lacking in knowledge of what lay ahead throughout the process and for that a big thumbs up to Daniel and Umami. A highly recommended, professional, focused business with a little cool and groovy modern thrown in.

Dan was absolutely amazing when helping me get my current role, he is really helpful and genuinely does care. Dan kept me updated throughout every stage of the recruitment process and was on hand to answer any of my questions, no matter how big or small. Very friendly and super professional. Thanks to Dan I now have my dream job.

Dan was fantastic from start to finish in helping me find my current job. He has a genuine passion for people’s desires/needs and takes great time in ensuring the right job is found. His personable and intellectual skills don’t go amiss and I am very grateful for his help and support. Many thanks Dan.

I cannot recommend working with Dan enough, after a couple of phone calls he had lined me up an interview with my current employer, he spent time walking through what i should look out for in the interview and shared his knowledge of the company aswell. He called before and after the interview to give me confidence and ensure me everything was good. After starting the job he still calls to see how things are going. A gentleman and a scholar in my opinion. It has been a pleasure to work with you ?

Luke Miles
Head of Business Development at OpalBond
 

Looking for the right job is always pretty tough but finding someone who took the time to really understand your needs and what you are looking for is even tougher. Dan would only contact when he truly believed the role would suit you and the company and in todays recruitment world that feels very rare. Thank you Dan for your support, good banter and really understanding what I was looking for 🙂
