Testimonials

I have worked closely with Adway for nearly 10 years to fill a wide range of permanent and contract roles for a highly specialised technical Modelling team. Adway have been able to build this strong working relationship by establishing trust both in terms of their delivery and also in how they go about their business with the following areas key to this:

• Attention to detail and needs – always take the time at the start of an engagement to understand the requirements for the individual role and what I am looking for. This means they rarely promote candidates that are not appropriate for consideration which has built my confidence in using them over the years.

• Honesty – if market conditions are such that there are a lack of suitable candidates around they will be completely up-front about this and not try and promote or reach for other candidates.

• End to End Management – Adway’s work goes beyond candidate identification and interview set-up. They show great care and attention to candidates during the offer process and in the run up to them starting which makes the on-boarding process much more successful.

I have worked with Justine/Adway Associates for over 20 years and value her integrity, trustworthiness and knowledge and so wholeheartedly recommend her. She has a great understanding of the skillsets and experience that are required of people working across the various risk disciplines and so always puts forward strong and credible candidates that fit within agreed budgets.

I have worked with Adway as both a hiring manager and a candidate and it has been a pleasure throughout. Justine and her team consistently hit the mark when it comes to proposing candidates. Hiring for a specialist area such as Risk, it can be a challenge for recruiters to interpret the needs of the client, but Adway have the knowledge and the experience to be able to interpret complex requirements and deliver high quality candidates. From the candidate side it's clear that they take the time to understand the strengths and goals of their candidates, leading to a really positive experience and increasing the likelihood of a good offer.
