The very highest quality Sales and Sales Management people are of critical importance to our business. I have known Derek for a number of years and used his services at previous organisations as well as Formscape Software Ltd. FieldSearch has helped me recruit senior management and several top performing sales people over recent years and I would not hesitate in recommending them. They understand our requirements and deliver quality candidates.
Colin Brookes, Executive Director, Vice President Global Sales
We have used Derek Field as our recruitment partner and preferred supplier for the past seven years. We have found him to be reliable and professional in all dealings with us. Our primary requirement has been in the search/selection and headhunting of experienced senior software solutions sales professionals and pre-sales consultants. Derek has been successful in delivering against our defined and precise requirements and we continue to use him for all our recruitment activities and the occasional special assignment.
Carol Holden, Head of Human Resources
I have known Derek for over 10 years and during that time have used his services as a recruiter on a number of occasions and twice as a head hunter. Each time I have found him to be extremely professional and effective and have never been disappointed with the people he has managed to find for some challenging roles. I would thoroughly recommend Derek and would not hesitate to use his services again.
Colin Brookes, Senior Vice President (Asia/Pac)
Whether we have a requirement to recruit either contract or permanent staff FieldSearch respond in a timely and professional manner, preparing detailed specifications and carrying out a thorough search often assisting us with first and second interviews and referencing. I have no hesitation in recommending Derek Field for all permanent and contract resourcing requirements.
B P Torbett, Special Projects Director
I have worked with Derek on and off for several years now and will continue to work with him when the opportunity presents itself. Derek is easy to work with, adds enormous value and above all can be relied upon to get the job done. He is a person of high integrity and genuine business values. A good person to know.
Nick Ayton, Senior VP Global Sales
Staffing a new Contact Centre from scratch is a daunting task, add to that the need for a Finance Director, IT Director, Team Leaders and MI Analysts and it becomes very clear a solid, reliable recruitment partner is needed.
FieldSearch stepped up to the plate, sourced candidates, ran assessment centres for us and recruited the entire team within our timescales and budget – well done!
Paul Hackney, MD
The team at FieldSearch responded brilliantly to our requirement to recruit Administration and Personal Assistant staff, they took time to fully understand our detailed needs, translated those into professional Job Descriptions and presented a shortlist of very suitable candidates, they helped us hire some great people for our business.
Rachel Winsor
My business was looking for a Business Development Manager during a period of restructure. We needed someone able to interpret our requirements accurately, provide input and feedback into our needs, and then undertake a discreet but professional search of the marketplace.
Derek Field of FieldSearch has excellently fulfilled that brief. He quickly identified what we needed and his counsel was incisive and valuable. He then found an excellent shortlist of candidates. It was very clear that his process in distilling down to a shortlist is thorough and exhaustive as the candidates Derek presented were excellent. All the candidates commented on his thoroughness and professionalism.
Derek’s efforts allowed us to see a shortlist of interviewees armed with a clear picture and assessment, and to see a spectrum of candidates that spanned our brief. Any difficulties we had were due to the excellence of the candidates offered.
We have been able to appoint a key team player confidently and with as many boxes ticked for us as possible.
I would not hesitate in recommending FieldSearch to anyone looking for a professional, thorough and experienced recruiter.
John Line, Managing Director
The difference between an average recruiter and an exceptional recruiter is in the attention to detail. Bucking the un-professional trend of just using job boards and firing off CV's, Derek @ FieldSearch takes the time to fully understand his clients brief......Business and marketplace; Products and services; Value proposition and USP's; Culture and preferred candidate profile. He searches, screens and interviews thoroughly; probing candidates for key skills, personal qualities and experience and will only present the very best available talent. I would thoroughly recommend Derek if you have key Sales, Pre-sales and Project Management positions to fill.
Karen Davis, VP, Computer Associates Inc
Derek is one of the most accomplished recruitment consultants I have come across. His experience and handling of assignments is done with the utmost professionalism and above all he gets results for both his clients and his candidates. I can wholly endorse him for the future.
Penny Barnes, Senior Partner, Invicta Partnership
Derek delivers an exceptional, professional headhunting and executive search service. He adds significant value to a business by paying attention to detail in order to fully understand the client’s needs; he assists the client in understanding what they really want from the role; he sources and vets the best available candidates; and he ensures that only the very best suited candidates are placed in front of the client. I highly recommend Derek’s services as he has consistently delighted my clients and others I have referred him to.
