I have had the absolute pleasure of being recruited into a professional services firm by Ella Tasker in April 2022. The organisation I joined was my first in-house recruitment role, having worked with recruitment agencies for 20 years.
Ella was very knowledgeable about the firm I joined and had a very strong grasp on our company’s culture and values. In fact, Ella perfectly matched my own personal values to the business I joined. She was very professional throughout the whole recruitment journey and provided strong and invaluable insights during the whole interview process.
Most notably to Ellas credit, I found her to be very easy to talk to throughout the interview journey. As an experience recruiter myself, I have taken many calls over the years from pushy recruitment to recruitment consultants, who try to deploy hard-lines sales approaches to influence your thinking and push their own agendas. Ella approach is much more considered, and she listens to what you say, instead of trying to influence you. She considers what is important to you personally, as well as what you need to know about her client. I have always found Ella’s approach to be genuine, honest, and consultative. On the other side of the coin, Ella knows when to challenge, to ensure she is also delivering a quality service to her client.
I would not hesitate to recommend Ella to any person who is looking for a new job, within her area of expertise.
I think it’s also important to add that I would highly recommend Ella for an employer who is looking to recruit. A recruitment consultant is the earliest experience of a candidates journey with a new potential employer. Ella represented her client excellently and she was very well informed with any question that I put to her. Equally, I recall from my earliest conversations with Ella that she challenged me with strong and constructive questions, to ensure I was a good fit for her client. This was from an experienced/technical level, but also as a cultural fit.
I have been very impressed with Ella about how she represents her client and how she challenges a potential candidate to ensure their suitability for a role, but then also how she supports the candidate throughout the interview journey.
Ella’s candidate aftercare has also been amazing, as she has stayed in contact long after any rebate period will have expired. I feel a genuine sense of pride in her work.
To note, I am not the only successful hire Ella has had with our firm
