I have known Darren and the team at Carnegie for many years now and have worked with them on a couple of fronts. For peers in the industry I also either recommend them to Darren if they are looking for a role personally or within their firm. Darren has been a great sounding board for us when we have been thinking about building the team out. Lastly, Darren is incredibly responsive, understands the candidates/companies needs"

John Hindley at Carnegie placed me into my first private equity accounting role. He could not have been more understanding of what I was looking for. He provided great insight and advice and was very easy to communicate with throughout the process - a very nice guy. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a similar role - thank you John.

Christopher Kirby
Chris is the stand-out recruiter for me both as a potential employer and as a candidate. I have receommended him to a number of colleagues over the years and the introduction has always ended postively. His down to earth and calm manner is a breath of fresh air from the hard sell competition and is proven to be far more successful as well"
