Testimonials
" I just wanted to say thank you for how much you helped me to get my job with the Football Club.
From the first time we spoke, you have been incredibly helpful, open, and honest, guiding me through the decision of making the huge leap from 20 years in public sector to a very different environment of a football club. The decision was a big one for me and my family and this was at the forefront of your mind the entire time, ensuring I was comfortable with progressing, even being concerned about how our dog would cope! This was really helpful as it made me really think about all aspects of taking the job. After my first interview at the Club, it was so helpful to have you at the end of the phone to talk through how it went and how I was feeling (it went great and I was feeling on top of the world!).Between my second interview and job offer, there was a lengthy delay during which you remained in touch with me on a daily basis, reassuring me. The day you called to offer me the job was fantastic. You were genuinely thrilled for me which was so lovely.
Since starting in the role you have kept in regular touch with me which is great because as my role is in HR, you provide that sounding board for me to talk through any issues or concerns which I wouldn’t otherwise have. I really appreciate the time you have taken to make sure I am ok, right from the start of this process and I would highly recommend your services.

"We have used Suraan Stephens Consulting twice in the last year in order to carry out a search and selection exercise for two members of staff. Both times she has worked closely with us to not only find the right fit professionally but also met the brief for the engineering capabilities in our niche market.
Having worked with other external recruiters previously, and have had some bad experiences, where I felt the recruiters were just putting bums on seats and had not really carried out the required background or technical checks, Sheena is a breath of fresh air. She was very thorough at scoping out the correct shortlist of candidates, who not only met the technical capabilities but also fit our company culture. I couldn’t be happier with the two members of staff that I have recruited through her, and will definitely use again."

" Sheena was brilliant to work with through the entire recruitment process for my current role. She takes a great deal of care in ensuring that candidates and employers align in terms of personality, working culture and expectations for the role. This meant that the process felt incredibly smooth and well-coordinated. Her regular communication is also a step above anything I have experience as a candidate. Since taking up my new position, we have used Sheena to recruit a wide range of roles within HR, media and operations and the process is equally positive”

"I would like to thank Suraan Stephens for helping me recruit a Qualified Surveyor after a couple of years trial and error. Sheena made the process so simple from start to finish managing the whole recruitment process. I loved the personal service where we were able to discuss our values and where we're heading. From this discussion, Sheena was able to craft an advert that attracted the right people for the company. I have no hesitation in recommending Sheena to anyone that wants to recruit staff that fits with the culture of your company."

" Throughout the course of interview rounds - from the initial screen until the penultimate discussions, I was impressed by the candidate-centred approach taken by those in charge. Everything from the original advert, through to discussions with Sheena and Marcus felt open, transparent and genuine, which was instrumental in making me feel at ease and perform as I wanted to throughout. The conversations had portrayed a humanistic work environment, that added to the incentive to be successful in my application”

"I was kept informed about all updates regarding my application and was provided with feedback quickly following interviews. Sheena was friendly, helpful and insightful. I felt I was in safe hands and trusted Sheena and the employer throughout the process. One of the best interview processes I have been through.

"Sheena is amazing. At the height of the pandemic she worked tirelessly to place me in a consultancy role with one of her clients and I'm still with them today. She has been extremely supportive throughout and there has not been a month without a pleasurable catch up call to see if I'm ok. I would highly recommend her services (with a smile). A very positive and energetic person"

"Sheena is a very professional and attentive recruiter. About a year ago she successfully recruited me for my current role, which I'm still very happy with. During the recruitment process, she was encouraging and she answered all of my questions. Even after I got the job she still periodically contacted me to ensure that I was satisfied with the position. I highly recommend her and I'd gladly collaborate with her again."

"Having worked with Sheena in my previous role, she was my first point of call when we were struggling to fill a position. She did a tremendous job previously, so we knew she would be up to the challenge. She distinguishes herself from other recruiters by being genuinely passionate, caring and professional. She took the time to understand the needs of our organization and what we were looking for in terms of candidates and future employees.
​
Having worked within the Architectural and Built Environment sectors, she has a detailed understanding of the market and was able to provide our managers with advice every step of the way throughout the recruitment process.
​
Sheena is extremely personable and attentive. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a Recruiting Business partner, particularly if they are struggling to find the right candidates. She has a proven track record of delivering results. After all you don’t last in such a competitive industry for almost 2 decades if you don’t delight your clients. We now exclusive use Sheena for all of our recruitment needs as she is a delight to work with."
