"The quality of the research and assessment was high throughout. I never felt like I was being 'sold' to, rather that I was being given honest advice from two trusted partners."

Ollie Roberts, BMI Group
CHRO at BMI Group

"Engaging with BIE has been a breath of fresh air. From the initial introduction and throughout the process, I have been very impressed with the passion to really understand our requirements, the ability to translate that to the brief and latterly, the quality of candidates coming through from the search."

Jasmine Hudson, Mitie plc
Group HR Director

“We recently used BIE for the first time for the recruitment of a Global Head of HR and we were extremely impressed with the whole process. From the first meeting with Claire Paramo through to the acceptance of the offer, everyone we dealt with at BIE was impressive and highly professional, all fully understood the brief and then ultimately delivered on it. We would highly recommend.”

Francis Corrigan
CFO, West of England P&I
