Working with the team at bpesearch was an excellent experience. They take an extremely hands on approach to placing candidates – in my case they not only found me a great role and prepared me thoroughly throughout the selection procedure, but gave me real honesty and clarity around every aspect of the job and team I would be joining. That warts-and-all approach was essential in letting me make the right decision – and it gave me real confidence in making that leap. bpesearch is now the first call I make when I want to find a new challenge – and also when I need to strengthen my own senior leadership team.
