I briefly chatted with Martin via LinkedIn while I was at my previous company. I wasn’t ready to make a move at the time, so I asked him to keep me updated if anything interesting came up. He came back to me with a really interesting role and the timing was right, so I had an hour on Zoom with both Martin and Jeremy to go through the detail. I

I applied for the role, via LinkedIn, and had an initial call from Penny to chat through the role and my experience which was really good. I then met Martin, and we went into the role in more detail. This was my first experience of working with Mallory Partners and they were clearly equally interested in my leadership potential as much as my professional achievements – and I really appreciated

Mallory Partners had contacted me via LinkedIn a couple of years previously about the same role, but the timing wasn’t right. When Lauren contacted me again, it piqued my interest and so I had an initial virtual meeting with Lauren and then a follow up with Lauren and Martin. What struck me in those early calls was their approach – we didn’t really talk about the role at all, it

I had never heard of Mallory Partners before they approached me via LinkedIn. I didn‘t respond to the first approach, but Lauren’s second message piqued my interest as I’d recently decided I was ready to make a move. “After an initial fact-finding call with Lauren, which was very useful, I dealt exclusively with Martin and he was really good. He called before every interview and gave me feedback on where

I’d never heard of Mallory Partners before and had no intention of moving jobs when John approached me about the role at the University of Warwick. I really wasn’t looking; I was happy – in fact, I was about to move closer to work. I took John’s call, but made it clear from the outset that I wasn’t interested and agreed to receive the job description really just to see

This was my first experience with Mallory Partners. They approached me via LinkedIn, and I had an initial conversation with Lauren about the nature of the role, and whether there might be alignment with my experience and aspirations. I then had a follow up call with both Lauren and Martin. Both sessions were very helpful, in the second call we went into much more detail about organisational culture, something that

I first came across Mallory Partners in 2019, following a recommendation from a friend who knew I was looking for a head-hunters that specialised in private equity roles. It was a great experience – they had a role that exactly matched my expectations – but in the end my career moved in a different direction. “At the beginning of this year, I got in touch with them and, yet again,

This was my first time engaging with Mallory Partners as a client, although they placed me into Rephine a few years ago and were super to deal with: responsible, easy, and knowledgeable. For me, they were the logical choice to help appoint Rephine’s new Chief Growth Officer. “The role profile evolved during the early stages of the search, and Jeremy was an important part of this evolution. His searching questions

Having placed me in an interim position pre-COVID, I had been impressed with their rigorous matching process to ensure the fit was right – and the support and preparation I received. This was my first opportunity to engage them as a client and I did so based on that previous experience. “We had an initial call about the job description; to discuss not only the expectations we had in terms

I was really impressed from the outset. I had recently left my previous role and was given Martin’s details by a colleague, so put a call in. He called me straight back and, even though it was at that stage only a speculative contact, we had an in-depth discussion. “After about a week, Martin came back and introduced me to his business partner, Jeremy, who had an opportunity that they

In the past six months, Mallory Partners have handled the search for two key c-suite roles for Optimised – Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. While the parameters for the CFO role were pretty tight, we were looking for something particular in our new COO and so the brief was less well defined. It took some back and forth to refine the brief and it wasn’t really until we

I am based on the south coast and had not heard of Mallory Partners before I was approached about the role. I had spoken with quite a lot of recruiters at that point, but what was different about the approach Mallory Partners took was their genuine interest in me – it wasn’t just about matching a CV to a job. I had an initial call with Lauren and Martin; they

This was my first experience working with Mallory Partners. They approached me via LinkedIn, and initially, I didn’t pay much attention as I often get bombarded with such approaches. However, John’s follow-up was truly professional and thoughtful, making it clear that this was a genuine opportunity and not just a sales pitch. He provided me with an excellent insight into the nature of the opportunity, the firm, and how I

I was recommended to Mallory Partners through a mutual acquaintance. I had an initial exploratory call with them, and it was really thorough – much less transactional than others I’d had. They wanted to find out what made me tick, what lay behind my CV and what I was looking to achieve. I appreciated that they’d invested the time in getting to know me even though there was no job

About 18 months ago Mallory Partners contacted me about a really interesting role with the University of Warwick but, once we’d talked through my experience and aspirations, we concluded that it wasn’t quite the right role for me. However, almost a year later, Martin got in touch again about another role with Warwick Manufacturing Group that was the perfect fit – and what impressed me most was that he’d retained

This was the first time I had worked with Mallory Partners. I hadn’t come across them before but was contacted as part of the UA92 process through LinkedIn. From the outset, they were very proactive, and it was well organised. I thought the briefing pack was better quality than many others I’ve seen, and the initial screening was good – with the inclusion of value-based questions that I felt were

Although I first met Mallory Partners a decade ago, this was my first time actually pursuing a role through them. Martin had called me every so often across the intervening years, to stay connected, but I was still impressed how much detail both he and Jeremy remembered about my role and experience when we discussed this opportunity. The first meeting with them was quite a long one; we discussed the

I first came across Mallory Partners six or seven years ago, when I met with Jeremy to talk about a couple of contract roles. They stayed in touch throughout the intervening years and, when the time was right for me to move on, I contacted Jeremy to tell him I was on the market, but that I had a pretty specific set of requirements. His colleague Ed reached out to

I first spoke to Mallory Partners in June 2021. I had a very idiosyncratic set of requirements as I was looking for a Chief Financial Officer role, in a private equity-backed, medical/pharma ‘contract manufacturing’ space, and I spotted an opportunity on LinkedIn which captured everything I was seeking. I spoke with Martin and met with Ed before they introduced me to Chiltern Capital. The process was mostly virtual, as we

When Mallory Partners approached me, it was a bit of a bolt from the blue. I was looking, but not intensively and, while I would normally have been drawn more towards corporate opportunities, having had an initial conversation with John I was really attracted by the variety of this role and could see there were synergies. He sold it extremely well. My second meeting was more in-depth; looking at the

My brother recommended Mallory Partners as he has used them for many years. They were completely honest, from the outset, that they had no prior experience in the architectural sector. However, they were extremely good at listening and working out how they could use their skills and network to help me find the right person. I wanted a particular kind of candidate, with a particular set of experiences – somebody

I approached Mallory Partners via LinkedIn regarding the CITO role at Warwick University. “After a quick call to establish the basics, and email follow up, I had an initial meeting with John and Martin. They were professional, friendly, and open – and considering it was via Teams it felt very relaxed. However, what really struck me was the thoroughness of their questions. I found the meeting challenging and helpful in

I was originally approached via LinkedIn for the Chief Operating Officer’s role. I spoke to both Martin and Ed and had a really good feeling from them straightaway; I always think you can tell a lot about a recruitment firm by the calibre of the questions they ask you, it’s a good indication of their effectiveness and their understanding of their clients. “What I also liked was that they were

I contacted Mallory Partners via LinkedIn when I saw the role and had an initial call with John. He helped to contextualise the role for me and we explored what the University were looking for which, together with a very high-end brochure, was extremely helpful. I was in the US at the time and they were very flexible in making arrangements for the first interview, which was with both John

Mallory Partners approached me on a recommendation from my previous CEO. Initially, I wasn’t sure if it would progress, as I did not have experience of leading a private equity transaction that the employer wanted – but Mallory Partners worked hard with them to explore what they were seeking to achieve, how my experience might prove valuable and kept the conversation going. Ultimately, It was a very straightforward process. I
