Managing Director, IPEX Consulting

“We have partnered with Newsom Consulting to recruit multiple high calibre seniors in line with our ambitious growth plans. Newsom have been conspicuous in the effort they have made to really hear and understand the skills, knowledge, attitudinal attributes and cultural fit we are looking for – as well as the experience and qualifications. The very high conversion rate we have seen to interview and hence to offer and acceptance is a testament to the quality of their search for what we need, to put forward to us only the most prequalified of candidates. This has made this most vital selection process very effective for us as well as minimising time input and distraction from our demanding business focus. We will continue to work with Newsom Consulting in the future.”

I would be happy to work with Jim and Richard again and I would definitely recommend Newsom Consulting for recruiting key leadership roles.”
