Testimonials

"Mark's input has ranged from the entirely practical to the strategic and political. On the practical side, Mark has helped with such issues as putting job specifications together and coaching SETsquared companies on how to interview candidates. On the strategic side Mark has given guidance on the make-up of company boards and found very able and well-connected NEDs and advisory board members. Mark has also introduced a number of very capable mentors to SETsquared.
 
Mark has a profound understanding of high-growth companies and is able to contribute significantly to getting the people side right in the context of fast-moving markets and high technology products and services."

David Bream, SETsquared Centre Director, Southampton University

"Abacus Billing have been working with Objective PS since early 2002.  Right from the beginning Objective demonstrated a different and refreshing approach to recruitment.  The staff at Objective spent time actually understanding not just our recruitment needs, but also our company culture, way of working and organisational dynamics.  From this base Objective have continued to successfully deliver on some very challenging assignments to the extent that they now handle virtually all of our recruitment needs.  Over the last three financial years we have recorded nearly 50% growth year-on-year and doubled our staffing; Objective have been a contributing factor in this growth ."

Karl Wills, CEO. Abacus Billing      

"I have known Mark for over thirteen years and always found him to be an expert in his profession.  He has a keen ability of getting to know the company, culture and the overall business, which is beneficial when recruiting “the best and the brightest”.  Mark worked very well with the decision makers and was quick to know their needs relative to candidate profiles.  In addition, Mark has the ability to move quickly and has the adaptability to assist the company in getting closure with employment offers and following up with the candidate once they are on board to ensure they are getting up to speed quickly.  Mark is truly an outstanding professional recruiter who will always rise to the top in the recruiting effort."

"Objective PS take the time to understand the detailed requirements of a role and is very effective at pre-screening applicants. As a result, I have found that the quality of CVs I receive is far better than other recruitment firms. This has saved me time, as I have been able to interview only candidates who can do the job.

I have worked with Mark since 1996 when I was MD of Cambridge Technology Partners and have also used Mark in my current role at Sybase."

Max Dobres, MD Cambridge Technology Partners, VP EMEA Services, Sybase.
