A selection of our clients thoughts on the service we provide.
The Cheltenham Trust
Finance Manager
I have known Clare Shearer professionally for many years and she has consistently provided a high level of service. Shearer Associates is my ‘go to’ recruiter, as I trust them to listen and give helpful and accurate advice. Clare knows the job market and her candidates very well and she always takes time to get to know the company and the role requirements. I have recently worked with Shearer Associates to fill a finance projects manager vacancy at The Cheltenham Trust and both Clare and Harry worked proactively to fill it in a very short time scale. I am happy to recommend Shearer Associates to any employer looking to fill a finance vacancy

I was really pleased with the calibre of candidates we received from Shearer Associates. Clare took time to meet us, understand the business and really think about the right person rather bombarding us with hundreds of applicants. We found the perfect match for our finance team and was super impressed with the communication from Clare and her team

What I love about working with Clare and Shearer Associates is that they have perfected the balance of driving to deliver with the ability to listen and understand to my requirements. Candidates who are put forward are done so with a purpose that meets the specifications set, allowing new recruitment opportunities to be partnership delivering a common goal, rather than a transactional event to tick a box. It is because of their passion for finding perfect candidates, why they are the first number I call

Finance Manager
Clare recently helped me out (again) when I was looking for a Transactional Finance Manager. It was a tricky role to fill as we needed the people management skills and transactional finance experience but an accountancy qualification was not a priority for us. Having already spent some time recruiting with our internal recruiter I reached out to Clare when we were unable to find the right candidate ourselves.
Within a very short time Clare had provided us with a some of great candidates to meet, including one that was a perfect fit, both for the role and the team and company. It always feels to me like Clare tries to get to know all of her candidates and employers in order to better target the combinations.
I have grown and developed my own career under Clare’s guidance, ever since first meeting her when she helped me when I was looking to relocate to the area. She will always be the first recruiter I call as she really cares about getting the right match and making sure her placements work for both parties.
Weird Fish
Financial Accountant
“I have been fortunate enough to have been both placed by Clare as Head of Finance at Weird Fish, and work closely with her to recruit my current team. Clare’s enthusiasm for her work and life makes the sometimes daunting task of recruitment really enjoyable. She understands how a good fit for a team can be just as important as the technical fit for a position. Clare at Shearer Associates is our no.1 go-to for Finance Recruitment”
Diab
Finance Manager
Having been placed by Clare in 2 of my previous roles myself, when I needed to recruit a Finance Manager , I thought of her straight away. Now running her own agency, I found Clare at Shearer Associates. As I remembered, she was warm and friendly when I got in contact. We had a tight deadline to recruit, and Clare presented us with 3 very strong candidates very quickly and all 3 candidates supplied were of high calibre. This gave us the time to interview and offer the role with plenty of time for a handover , and a handover. During the whole processes of this recruitment Shearer Associates, the service was professional, easy and with great communication.

Harry & Clare at Shearer Associates are an absolute pleasure to work with. Helpful, friendly & informative. They make a great duo

I have only recently started working with Shearer Associates but they seem to grasp the brief quickly and have been very proactive in seeking out suitable candidates. They understand the accountancy profession well and they appreciate that a candidate’s soft skills are every bit as important as their technical competence when recruiting for a small team.

The personal touch is back.
I've dealt with other recruitment agents and felt I was just a paycheck for a client that walked into the recruitment agent's door and said I want a job.
Harry proactively searched for the right client but gave me options as well. Harry did not sell to me but listened to what I wanted.
Thank you Harry you are now my preferred choice.

We found Shearer Associates very easy to deal with, but very professional at the same time. Kept us informed at all stages of the recruitment of our new member of staff. If we had any questions they were always quick to respond and resolve any Issues
