Testimonials

"I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the great success we have had over the past year in filling some key senior vacancies... These vacancies have been very difficult roles to fill due to the specific nature of the industry sector and the technical skills needed to be really effective in ‘solution selling’. I was very pleased with the time and effort you invested ‘up front’ to understand our business and the skills we needed. You also showed great tenacity in teasing out good quality candidates, particularly in view of the no win, no fee commercial arrangements which seem quite unique for the service at this level. We will certainly look to use Lawson Ware again"
Managing Director – Argos for Business

"Many thanks for admirably fulfilling our brief to find us a Business Acquisition Manager.....

This made the whole process very streamlined for us and highly time – efficient. In short, you have made a strong impact an we shall certianly be working with you in the future"

As you are aware we are entering a business critical period in this project and the need to have this role filled was urgent. We were very particular with the type of person required for the role and the candidates you put forward met our criteria both on a skill set level as well as on a Managerial level. We have now successfully recruited for the role, which will assist us in developing the team and progressing the project to meet business expectations. I look forward to working with you in the future."

"A little note to say an enormous thank you for all your support in our quest to find a Client Services Director. As you know, we were a little hesitant in using 'head-hunting' as a method of recruitment when seeking a new CSD; so in a way we took a big leap of faith in appointing Lawson Ware to assist us with this exercise. And we were not disappointed. In fact, we were overwhelmed with the attention, support and sheer tenacity you put into this. Your professional approach was second to none. You really got under the skin of CMW, our culture, our business needs but most importantly the candidates. You consistently fed back so I knew every step of the way where you were at - all culminating in the presentation of some great candidates and ultimately the successful appointment of a stunning CSD. It was an absolute pleasure working with you - thank you. If any of your prospective clients wish to speak with me - I'd be more than happy to recommend Lawson Ware. You hit the spot perfectly."
HR Director, CMW

"You have worked on a number of recruitment projects for me, initially at T-Mobile International whilst I was Senior Director Marketing. You successfully recruited the newly created global end user marketing team in less than 3 months…..you went on to support me in recruiting a strengthened marketing group for Phones 4U…most recently I asked you to recruit a Vice President of Broadband Marketing for Cable & Wireless in the Caribbean; you found us an excellent candidate within weeks. I consider you to be a key member of my recruitment team. In all my time working with you, you have never taken on an assignment that you can’t deliver. Your approach is well planned and organized and requires minimal supervision. I am presented with the best candidates for the role and extremely well briefed beforehand and debriefed post interview. You follow through to offer and after candidates have commenced their role. You show a genuine interest in the needs of both the business and the candidate.”
Executive Vice President, Cable & Wireless Caribbean

“I thought I would drop you a note to acknowledge what a great job you have done in placing our Head of Online Sales. Having worked with you before I knew you understood the online market place but this role I thought we would both find incredibly difficult. By finding numerous potential candidates within 3 weeks of the brief, clearly the challenge wasn’t hard enough. The communication throughout the process was excellent with candidates fully briefed of the role, business and personalities!” Head of E-Commerce, The AA

“You made a significant contribution to the development of my UK consumer marketing team. You quickly understood our requirements, developed plans and actioned them with minimal impact on us. You found us quality candidates when we had struggled to do so directly or through other agencies. When I asked you to look at international role you were competing against established search firms. Your performance surpassed them and we now have a global team of quality consumer orientated marketers. Again you achieved this despite organisational challenges and in a difficult market.”
Marketing Director, T-Mobile

“I first met David and Lawson Ware via a recommendation from an associate and since that point they have helped me to fill a number of vacancies……Recruiting the right people for us can be a challenge at times. David and Amanda succeed however because of their determined approach to accepting assignments that they can deliver. I always receive a speedy and high quality search which often results in us placing a candidate - on the occasions that it proves to be more difficult we work together to identify other parts of the market where the search can be conducted. In addition, it is very refreshing for me to work with a provider who is able to understand clearly our business model and specific job requirements and be able to brief the candidate adequately. Although my relationship with Lawson Ware is just over a year old I have no doubt that they will become a long term part of my resourcing strategy and I would have no hesitation recommending them to you.”
HR Director, LINK Interchange

“I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for helping us to secure two “first rate” senior appointments. As you are aware, from past experience, I was unsure as to whether Lawson Ware would be able to deliver in such a challenging market place and I am pleased to say that, thus far, I have been wrong! You and the team have been professional throughout and demonstrated a real willingness to understand our business and its precise requirements, and perhaps, more importantly kept me informed at all stages of the process. The quality of feedback from yourselves and candidates was excellent and truly aided our decision making processes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lawson Ware and look forward to working with you and the team in the future.  
People Director, Top 5 Integrated Marketing Agency

“I wanted to write to you to acknowledge the work that you had done to secure the new Marketing Director for Travel. When we first met and talked through the brief, this was always going to be a really challenging assignment to get the right blend of experience and people skills to match our requirements. Throughout the process I was always delighted with the calibre of the candidates presented and the information provided…..which ultimately gave me valuable information to attract the right person” Managing Director, Priority Pass

“I have worked with Lawson Ware both from a client and potential candidate perspective over the last few years and I have always found their service to be of a very high standard. They have recruited a number of high calibre senior marketers for me and I have always found the candidates to be an excellent fit for the role and the business, and always very well prepared for interviews. I feel that we have built a solid and long standing personal and business relationship and would be very happy in recommending their services.”
Marketing Director, Sim4Travel

“Lawson Ware makes headhunting a positive experience. They always match roles with suitable candidates, which works well for everyone. They offer a much needed a grown-up approach to recruitment and their confidentiality and professionalism are key to this.”
CEO Mediacells Ltd

“I have worked with many recruitment consultants in my 15 years in Marketing and never have I worked with such a tough task master as Amanda. She interviews you thoroughly probing the occasional casual answer until she gets the real one, listens, understands, discusses and does everything within her power to ensure you are the right person for the job and the job is the right one for you”
Head of Customer Proposition, Online Retail Bank

"Lawson Ware really get under the skin to find out what makes their candidates stand out from the crowd and as a result you feel very secure and confident that they're treating you as an individual and not a number or a sum of money!" They listen and learn as much as possible about you as an individual. They have a genuine passion and understand business and offer support and advice every step of the way. Even after you've taken up a new position, they stay in regular contact to make sure you are happy and successful."
