"I can’t recommend Guy and Carnegie Consulting enough. Friendly, approachable, and professional; he did everything in his power to make the recruiting process as smooth as possible. Thanks Guy."

"I have known Darren Reuben at Carnegie for over 20 years, I worked with him on a retained search for a senior Finance hire. This process ran incredibly well and I have since used Carnegie to hire two further positions within our business through Guy Steel and John Amey"

"I worked with Richard on a number of occasions on finance and finance related roles. He was attentive, diligent and above all very focussed on our needs. He conducted searches with intelligence, utter integrity and was always professional and constructive. Consultants like him are a rare commodity."

"I found John Amey through a recommendation from a colleague I trust and respect. I am deeply satisfied with his care and professionalism. His relationship-based, high touch approach means less waste in resources and faster time to fill, which benefit all parties involved. I highly recommend engaging John for your recruitment needs."

"Can’t recommend Carnegie highly enough! Clare was so efficient, thanks to her, just a few days after registering with her I started a job, that turned out to be my dream job at my dream company. Thank you again for your support, the recruitment industry needs more like you!"

"Guy was extremely personable and supportive throughout the whole recruitment process. He was able to guide and advise me on key steps in securing a role, and I would definitely recommend Carnegie to peers in searching for new roles"

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"

"Richard is one of the most professional headhunters I have met. He also is extremely competent when it comes to negotiating the terms of an employment contract. If you are a company looking to recruit or a job seeker, I would highly recommend you speak to Richard. You will not be disappointed! He is smart, to the point, and very quick with execution."

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.

“I have worked with Guy for over 10 years as our recruitment partner. He is an exceptionally good consultant, reliable, straightforward and gives you confidence that he will deliver. I can highly recommend Guy as someone that you would want recruiting for your business..”

"We have worked with Carnegie on a number of different assignments, including a number of Equity Research Roles, Sales & Marketing and the Private Client business. Carnegie has consistently provided a very high level of service and has demonstrated a very good understanding of our business and its recruitment needs."

"I have been in touch with Andrew for several years, and he assisted me with placing a good interim senior finance professional at very short notice. Andrew is very professional and well connected."

“Guy is very well connected in the asset management industry, helping him source unique roles. He took the time to really understand my skills, experience, and aspirations. Guy was a pleasure to work with, and made the whole process very straightforward”

"Guy has now successfully recruited 3 analysts into my team. He understands what we need as a business and, more importantly, gets that vital ingredient which is, of course, cultural fit. If you are looking to recruit a good PM team – look no further!"

"Guy’s approach to recruitment is perfect in my view. He goes out of his way to understand not only the company’s requirements in detail, but also those of the candidates, at which point he carefully selects the best candidates for the roles which ensure that everyone is happy. Guy is always the first person I go to when I am looking for someone new in the team."

"I have known and worked with Andrew for some time now and have always found him to be incredibly diligent and meticulous in his approach to business. Always personable and professional; Andrew builds and maintains very strong relationships with individuals, which drives loyalty and new opportunities."

"Richard has been pleasure to work with and has extensive knowledge of the industry. He has always been readily available to discuss any aspects of my career and job progression and provided sound and valuable advice. His job recommendations were always in line with my own requirements. I look forward to working with him further in the future."

"Darren has a thoughtful and constructive approach to each stage of the process. He gave me thorough briefings so I had a full understanding of the organisation."

"I had the opportunity to deal with Andrew as an executive candidate in the context of a cross-border assignment he was managing. I much appreciated Andrew’s availability, openness and care. I would definitely work with him again in either recruiter’s or recruitee’s positions."

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"
