Headstar recently recruited our new CFO.The team (we worked mostly with James Roach and Jade Goodman) were very good to work with. They really understood our requirements, there was very good communication, they presented a strong list of candidates and they managed the process with the chosen candidate smoothly. Would definitely recommend. JP Lips, CEO DNA Payments

I would highly recommend Alex @ Headstar for your recruitment needs. He really understood what we were looking for and kept up to date with the rapidly changing landscape in a fast paced environment. Alex did all the hard work for me and I was presented with a shortlist of high calibre candidates who had been well vetted for capability and cultural fit. The engagement didn't end when the offer had been accepted and he has continued to engage with both myself and the successful candidate through their notice period which has really taken the risk out the hiring process.
Response from the owner: Thanks Kate! We're glad you are happy with the service Karis provided!

Olivia is charming in every way and makes you feel so comfortable in her company.I first got to know Olivia when I received an email asking if I was interested in a role which fitted my CV and profile perfectly.Initially I said 'No' to Olivia as I was in a very well paid contracted job, even though I still needed to travel to get to it.Olivia ran through the details of the JD with me on a Teams Call, and I became very interested.Olivia managed my expectations and those of her Client .....and I am delighted to say that I interviewed for the role and I am due to start my new job next month.If it was not for Olivia representing Headstar so thoroughly and managing her Clients and my expectations so precisely; I may never have taken a very general interest in the Clients Company, and the role any further. Thank goodness I did. You placed me well Olivia and I am grateful.
Response from the owner: Thank you Carol for your lovely review and good luck in your new role.

Absolutely amazing. I can't put to words where i can start thanking Headstar for supporting me in finding the right role for me as a winter graduate of 2023. Rachel deserves a massive thank you for making this easy, whether it was a quick catch up call or a drop of an email, she thrives in every aspect and is a brilliant asset to the Headstar team. I wish her and Headstar good luck to the future and would love to stay in touch as i progress with my new role 🙂
Response from the owner: Thank you for a great review Adil. Good luck as you progress in your role.

Life is complicated and when we don’t know, we rely on those that do. Headstar have never let us down. They took the time to understand us as a client but also our culture. Recruiting the right skills and experience is important, recruiting the right cultural fit is just as essential.Taking time to listen to the experiences of the business and where it is heading, along with real life case studies of our experiences, focussed the brief. James and Jenny got down to the essential requirements very quickly, then we added the ‘nice to have’.Receiving targeted CVs with a clear supporting synopsis allowed the process to flow quickly. Seamless back office support and engagement from Jordan meant we were never hanging on for candidates or delaying the process.Recruiting senior finance staff is a challenging time, but not so with Headstar. We quickly came to rely on their quality work and effort. Navigating the fine line between job description and business need seems to be effortless for the team at HeadstarJenny and James deliver with patience and empathy exemplify their understanding of the requirements; they got the right fit with the right skills. Would I use them again?, we already are!
Response from the owner: Thank you Duncan! What a lovely review.
