ERG really is a first class executive recruiter….a true business partner who has spent significant time engaging with us to understand our business, our people and what makes us tick. Over several searches the quality of candidates produced has been superb, reflecting not only great technical competence, but also the right “personality” fit for our business. Each project has been managed in an effective, timely and efficient manner….and with consummate professionalism. John really “gets it” first time and simply delivers great results. I have no hesitation in recommending ERG as a business partner.

I have worked with john for and depended on "recruitment partners" for over 20 years,but it would be fair to say that until I started working with John and ERG I didn't fully appreciate how much a true partner could bring to the business. John brings a degree of market intelligence and objectivity, not to mention the production of excellent candidates. I work with him as closely as I work with my senior HR team. All in all a true business advisor and great recruiter.

I have worked with John Lavery now for several years, especially when we have an important mid to high level or strategic appointment to be made, primarily in the Finance area. John has succeeded on each assignment to run the process within a tight lime limit and within budget. John, together with his team in ERG, has provided a real value-for-money solution to our senior management recruitment needs, covering the ground work well for us, delivering good quality candidates and is focused on our needs. John has learned a lot about our business and the input up-front has paid dividends over the years. I would highly recommend ERG is you are looking to build a recruitment partnership that understands your business and delivers, on-budget and on-time.

As a candidate who was successfully identified and introduced by ERG, my experience of the organisation, and of John Lavery who managed my individual case, was one of high professionalism with careful, deliberate process to ensure the candidate and the prospective organisation were well suited and a good fit for each other. Thorough exploration of ones professional background and clear knowledge & insight to the organisation for whom he was representing were key in this regard. I would have no hesitation in recommending ERG as a top quality executive search recruitment provider.

I have worked with ERG on several senior level executive appointments over the last few years and they never fail to achieve great results. The ERG team have really spent time getting to know our business and what really works for us. They have an innate ability to consistently identify, approach and secure the highest quality of candidates time after time. Moreover thebigword enjoys working with ERG as a genuine and caring business partner.

I have recently worked with ERG through their highly professional Career Management Services. I was very impressed by the "personal touch" the business utilises to deliver its first class service offering, and by their pragmatic, down to earth approach. The level of attention, interaction and engagement were exceptional as was the company's knowledge of the executive recruitment marketplace. All in all I felt very comfortable working with ERG as a business partner and would not hesitate to recommend their excellent range of executive services.

Having originally met with ERG as a candidate, I was most impressed by the way they managed my application for a new role. Now as a client, I have worked with ERG on a number of successfully delivered recruitment projects and would not hesitate to recommend their services. The company provides a highly efficient end to end service, sourcing high calibre, well qualified industry experienced candidates, that fit well with the culture of our business. Their client and candidate management capability is first class and they always go that extra mile to ensure we are entirely satisfied.

I have recently completed an excellent Career Management programme with ERG. Having been made redundant, I really needed some sound advice and support from a professional, pragmatic and "real world" outplacement business. ERG was very clear up front this would be a 3-6 month process and, after a number of initial meetings we had a plan. We had regular catch-up sessions to ensure we were doing everything we could and it felt as if we operated as a team. Aside from building confidence, reshaping my CV document and bringing out my full range of skills and expertise, ERG compiled a list of target companies and wrote out to them. This process yielded some opportunities which built confidence going into 2013. In January momentum grew and we were soon looking at 5 credible opportunities. ERG was available whenever I needed, to discuss these and covered everything from researching companies and interpreting correspondence to rehearsing interviews and agreeing contractual terms. I would certainly not have made the right decision without seeking and listening to ERG's very wise counsel. I cannot praise ERG highly enough and would instantly recommend them to anyone in the UK at executive or senior management level who wants to get an edge over other candidates.

A big thank you to all at ERG for identifying me and aligning my experience and expertise to the Chief Operating Officer role at TMP. From start to finish ERG have been outstanding. Always helping, guiding and providing outstanding support. It has been a pleasure and I hope we can work together in the future as the TMP business grows and I need talent. I am truly excited to be starting my new role and I have ERG to thank for this great opportunity.
