Seeing is believing
I would like to say how grateful I am to both Ed and Steph for their assistance and support during my recent recruitment process. The initial information pack about the role was detailed and clear. The preparation session that Steph offered provided me with some incredibly useful information on how the interview would be conducted so that I was better equipped and knew what to expect on the day itself. Since receiving an offer, Ed has been attentive and promptly followed up on any queries I had, ensuring clear communication throughout and has subsequently been able to help in negotiating an offer that was amenable to all parties. I am very grateful for all the support I have been offered throughout the whole recruitment process.

I want to show a deep appreciation for the way you supported me during the interview process with RBKC. Not only your swift response to my email communications during the process and the guidance on the expectations and preparation for the interview, but also, progressive guidance and words of encouragement and advice you gave me to prepare well and remain positive during the interview journey, I want to say thank you Ed. Once again, I want to express my appreciation for your level of professionalism towards the support you offered to me during the RBKC employment process. Based on this fantastic experience, I want to draw a conclusion that Allen Lane is a good recruitment company that any new employee would love to associate with.

I have known Beth and Allen Lane for over ten years since I started out as an interim. She is perfectly suited to the role of a recruitment consultant. First and foremost she is a connector and knows everyone in the sector. She is also hard working and focused which makes her well placed to respond to urgent recruitment needs. She is also hugely experienced. For this reason I have successfully turned to her to recruit senior roles and benefited from her wisdom of the market as I have rebuilt finance teams. I have also been on the other side of the table and she has picked me out for roles that have been well suited to my skills.

Outstanding recruitment agency! A big thank you to Iain Slinn who was very meticulous and made the whole process from initial call till the last interview seamless. I highly recommend Allen Lane for their excellent recruitment services.

Beth is brilliant at really getting to know candidates, their capabilities, motivations and potential. She also digs beneath the job description to understand what an organisation really wants from the role. That’s why, for over a decade, I’ve trusted her to bring the right two together both as a client and as a candidate.
Natasha Houseman
Beth is simply brilliant. Brilliant at building and maintaining trust and long-term relationships and brilliant at really understanding what her clients and candidates are looking for. I can highly recommend her.
