Having attempted to recruit a part-time Membership Officer ourselves and found the junior market incredibly frustrating, we engaged Ellwood Atfield’s Talent Delivery Team and were delighted with the outcome. They efficiently and adeptly identified some great talent, navigating the pitfalls of a competitive and candidate-led market on our behalf. Having made a number of senior hires through EA over the years I wouldn’t hesitate to additionally recommend their capabilities at a more junior level.

We have worked with Barry Hartness, and the team at Ellwood Atfield, on a couple of key roles, most recently on an Internal Communications Manager role. Barry has been quick to understand our brief and requirements and has always put forward high calibre candidates. He has moved the process forward smoothly and efficiently and been very responsive throughout. We would be very happy to recommend Barry and the team and look forward to working with them in the future!

Ellwood Atfield makes recruitment in the comms and public affairs arena easy. As soon as a role became available in my team, we were on the phone to Ellwood Atfield to get the process started. One very good telephone call later, they helped us write the JD, benchmark the salary and developed a plan to work to our timetable. We had a good range of people to interview and recruited someone that is above and beyond our expectations, and all done within the timeline we set. Ellwood Atfield has and always will be our go to recruitment agency for press and public affairs.

When I started in my new role, I knew I needed the expertise of Ellwood Atfield to help me build out my policy, public affairs and media team. Their deep market expertise and consultative approach to recruitment meant I was able to recruit several roles in my team at once at an exceptionally high standard.
