Client Testimonials
I have always found De Lacy Executive Recruitment to be dedicated to helping us find new talent to add to our team, taking the extra time to truly understand our business and our values to help us find the right fit. We have made some really fantastic appointments over the years and in what are often really challenging recruitment areas.
Harry and the De Lacy Executive Recruitment team recently assisted us in the recruitment of a Fam Business Manager; the candidates that were presented were all excellent and the co-ordination of the recruiting process was faultless.
I was happy with the level of service provided to me by De Lacy Executive Recruitment. I was provided with a good number of well qualified candidates in a reasonable timeframe. De Lacy were quick to provide a shortlist of suitable candidates, they listened to my feedback and adjusted their search accordingly.
We have partnered with De Lacy Executive for over 11 years and throughout that time they have consistently delivered high-quality candidates across a broad range of positions, including Account Managers, Directors and specialist technical roles.
What sets them apart is the effort they take to understand our business. As a customer and service-focused organisation providing essential services to the dairy and wider agricultural sectors, it is important that any recruitment partner understands both our industry and our culture. De Lacy Exec has taken the time to gain that understanding, which is reflected in the quality and suitability of the candidates they introduce.
Their knowledge of our business, combined with their ability to identify experienced professionals, has made them a trusted and valued recruitment partner for many years.
De Lacy Executive Recruitment are my No.1 recruiter of choice, their service and expertise in the industry has continually impressed me. They are always on hand and committed to our success.
De Lacy Executive Recruitment brought a different perspective to our recruitment process by recognising the strong transferable skills between agriculture and aquaculture. Their agricultural expertise enabled them to access a wider talent pool and generate high-quality candidate enquiries for our marine hatchery, taking much of the recruitment burden away from our team. They were professional, efficient, and easy to work with throughout the process, and I would be happy to work with them again in the future.
De Lacy Executive Recruitment is the cream in recruitment!
We have been very impressed with De Lacy Executive, having never used a recruitment agency before. They took the time to really understand our business and the type of person we were looking for. Chelsea was friendly, professional and efficient throughout, making the whole recruitment process straightforward and easy. Communication was excellent, and we always felt well informed. We would highly recommend Chelsea and De Lacy Executive.
As a recruiter sceptic due to past experiences, De Lacy Executive Recruitment had quite the mountain to climb. However, they took the time to understand us, our business, and exactly who we needed for the role. They actively sought out strong candidates, listened to feedback, and ultimately provided us with a number of excellent options. Given how niche our requirements were, we were genuinely impressed.
