Testimonials
-
“Ben is a truly exceptional recruiter - genuine, personable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Although I didn’t land the job in the end, I can’t emphasise enough how amazing he is. He’s a tremendous asset to his firm, and if you’re searching for your next opportunity, I highly recommend reaching out to him.”
-
“Ben is an excellent recruiter. I have worked with him when looking for my next opportunity but also when in my role we needed a new staff member. He will identify properly your skill set and make sure that you will be matched to the right opportunity. Ben will be with you through the whole process, supporting and advising on how best to succeed and achieve the role as well as ensuring the organisation is getting the best person on the market under the agreed requirements .”

“Working as an Interim contractor CIO/CTO/IT Director for many years I have worked with a number of recruitment agents. I worked with Ben from McCabe & Barton as they put me forward for an Interim CIO role during 2019. I met Ben in their London offices and went onto secure the role. Ben is a very experienced recruiter, down to earth, easy to get on with and the ability to have open & frank conversations with him. He also puts a lot of importance on really understanding his client companies and their recruitment needs. The company I worked for already had preferred recruiters but I found the quality of candidates inconsistent, as a result of this I went onto use Ben to source candidates for my recruitment needs while interim CIO, he found great candidates, quickly and I hired from them. Highly recommend working with Ben.”
