TESTIMONIALS

Executive and leadership search specialists

Following strong results across our global group, and after reviewing regional businesses, it was clear that we required a Managing Director to deliver stronger commercial performance in the UK and Europe business. I was referred to Paul and the team at TS Grale, and following an initial exploratory discussion, met with them to discuss the best approach in identifying a high calibre individual. A role profile was defined, a timeline agreed upon and a search conducted and delivered. Overall we were delighted with the service and the strength of the shortlist provided. It was clear that they had fully understood the brief and had assessed the relevant candidates thoroughly. One of our Non-Exec Directors commented, that it was “the best shortlist he had seen”. We are delighted to have secured our new MD and would have no hesitation in recommending Paul and the TS Grale team to others.

I can’t recommend him enough.

He presented a robust approach to identify a great person for our business and delivered exactly as promised. I would have no hesitation recommending Paul and the team at TS Grale to anyone.

Group Operations Director
Electronics Manufacturer

Following unprecedented sales growth it was clear that we required an Operations Director to support our commitment to delivering optimum performance in manufacturing. I had dealt with Jason Saunders in previous roles and encouraged our HRD to meet with him to discuss the best approach in identifying a high calibre individual. Given the specific nature of our requirements, and the need for relocation to Devon, we knew this would be a challenging brief. Over the course of the exercise we met with some excellent candidates. It was clear that Jason understood the specific challenges associated with our business and the personality required.”. We are pleased to have secured our new Operations Director and would have no hesitation in recommending Jason and the TS Grale team to others.

I have used TS Grale to work on a number of assignments for me over the past 5 years. They are without doubt one of the best and most detailed recruiters I have experienced when it comes to finding the right candidate for each available role I have put in front of them.

Head of Manufacturing
Automotive Components Manufacturer

I just wanted to say a personal thank you to Jason for the time you afforded me whilst looking for work. After meeting with you and taking on board your feedback, I left with a greater self-belief in myself, and also a confidence when in a one to one interview situation. It was shortly after this that I found myself in an interview and had the belief that I was the right person for the role, and was able to call upon our meeting and your pointers to good effect. I honestly believe this helped me secure the role I now have as Director for Scotland. I am hoping, in a nice way, that this means I don’t need to call on your services from a personal perspective in the future, but will be more than happy to ensure anyone who is looking for a quality executive recruitment consultant is sent in your direction.
