From a candidate’s perspective
From the first face-to-face meeting, Ed Hardwick’s professionalism and dedication were clearly visible and he did an impeccable job of representing the client. His communication style and friendliness are instrumental in creating a strong rapport with each candidate. He is in a position where trust and confidentiality is paramount and I never felt the least bit hesitant in speaking with him or sharing my professional details’

From a client’s perspective
‘Ed Hardwick is amongst the best people (pretty much at the top and my team agrees) that I have met from the recruitment industry from across the globe, even as we discovered, for this mandate – extremely professional, responsive to client needs, considerate and overall as somebody most importantly, who can gain the trust of ‘tough’ clients. Nothing matters beyond that and I have no doubt that is the reason he is also successful.’

From a client’s perspective
‘The relationship continued after I joined the firm and during the last two years, he has undertaken a number of key assignments for The Group. Whether I have had to fill a critical role within Saudi Arabia or searching for a unique role within Dubai, he would approach the assignment with drive, determination and commitment.

Ed is one of the most impressive leaders I have had the pleasure of working with during my career, he knows how to get the job done while inspiring the candidates and managing the search process with line managers at every level.

He is one of those rare individuals that understand business, technology and people – he continually focused on delivering results in every search he conducted.’
