Some of the positive things clients and candidates say about us. A lot of our business comes from personal referrals, although we also have excellent examples of clients who have selected us without prior experience of our work. All of our clients have positive things to say and a very high number of candidates at all stages in the process have complimented our care and responsiveness. | |

"I have appointed two senior managers thanks to the efforts and experience of Riches Consulting, and on both occasions the recruitment process was handled very professionally, working closely to the brief. The final assessments of each candidate were accurate, precise and very revealing. As importantly, these assessments also included comments on how well the individuals would adapt to the culture of the business and fit in with the rest of the team. Consequently, both individuals made their mark and the Director of Sales has secured significant new opportunities for the business." | |

"Riches Consulting successfully met all of our requirements throughout the assignment in terms of professionalism, reliability, meeting deadlines and achieving our objectives. Their service is excellent." "We selected Riches Consulting from a competitive tender to help us recruit our next Chief Executive. The assignment was well planned and researched, professionally conducted and included expert evaluation of candidates' key competencies for the post. It ran very smoothly indeed through to a successful conclusion and I have no hesitation in recommending Riches Consulting for their total commitment to producing the right result." |

"I have worked with Riches Consulting for some years now and have always found their understanding of our business to be unrivalled. They invest a lot of time with us gaining an insight into our culture, and as a result have filled some key executive positions." "Janice is a thoroughly professional individual with a passion for meeting client and candidate needs to ensure the right match and not simply filling a role for the sake of completing an assignment." | |

"Responsive, timely and accurate Resourcing." "Riches Consulting is very professional and extremely effective in ensuring that the job is completed. They work to strict deadlines, managing us if necessary to achieve this, and are good at ensuring that the brief we put together is realised." "Riches Consulting take the time and trouble to really understand what our business is about and the challenges we face thereby providing informed expert advice to both us and prospective candidates." |

"Janice's approach is to fully understand her corporate clients' needs and provide a closely tailored service. She is professionally diligent in dealing with both the recruiting organisation and the candidates, taking care to ensure the matches she makes are appropriate for both parties. I would particularly recommend her to anyone looking for senior level management candidates in the IT sector." | |

"I have worked with many recruitment consultants over the past twenty years. The majority have done a reasonable job, I guess. Some have done less than that: I think I could have spent my money better elsewhere. A select few have done an excellent job - they are the ones I would use again. Riches Consulting are definitely one of the select few." "Riches Consulting has an excellent understanding of our business, culture and specific requirements. They carried out the assignment in a very professional manner and we ended up with an excellent short list from which we filled the position of Chief Financial Officer" |

"I have found the service so far to have been excellent. Everything has happened on schedule, as promised and the response to our advert seems to have been at the top end of expectation. I have found Janice's grasp of what we require to be impressive, she has taken the brief, developed it and sold it to the candidates in a way that we could never have done on our own. I have felt the approach to have been 100% professional and imagine particularly useful to a company like us which has no formal HR function and no one trained in recruitment. The advice just received on conducting the interviews I am sure will assist us in getting a more complete picture of the candidates than otherwise. I also have the impression that the candidates will have felt professionally dealt with. I should say that I am generally highly critical, not easily impressed and it is rare for me to have no reservations!" |

Case Studies Working in partnership A large, multi-faceted FTSE50 Plc asked us for a proposal when they were having problems attracting the quality of people necessary for a number of posts. We developed a positive but challenging working relationship and recommended a way forward. The Human Resources Business Partner for two divisions said: "The quality of your work is very good and the quality of the five people recently appointed has gone down very well across the business. I really believe that you can help our company to improve the quality of its people, which is of paramount importance in the strategic HR agenda." The best people have a positive impact on profitability A regional builders merchants chain was a client for more than six years. They sold their business to Travis Perkins, who cited the quality of their managers as one of the main reasons for buying the business at the price paid. The Managing Director of the regional chain said: "We have worked with Riches Consulting since we decided to professionalise our recruitment function, as the calibre of candidates is crucial to ensure our continued success. We expanded by acquisition and most of our recruitment was for people with profit responsibility for one of our sizeable branch businesses. We found our faith in Riches Consulting's personal service to be well placed and liked the fact that they worked exclusively for us. We made many successful appointments from both internal and external candidates that had a positive impact on profitability." Retention, development and recruitment of quality people The Chairman of a technology business that used us for recruitment and management development summed up the advantages of dealing with our boutique operation: "They more than punch their weight in comparison with the large consultancies, through their access to comprehensive and up-to-date market information, and through the sound, sensible advice they give. At the same time, we experience the advantages of dealing with a small entity, as they carry out their work with enthusiasm, and with genuine concern for our people." He invited us in through a competitive tender to assist in stabilising the high turnover of quality staff. A review of the HR issues and practical advice to resolve the problem led to a successful outcome. Riches Consulting has since helped the business to move forward through significant change, working with the management team and head hunting a new Chief Executive. Getting the brief right and keeping people informed The Personnel Director, Services of a global publisher said the following when we took over a troubled assignment from another consultancy: "Riches Consulting provided comprehensive support in the recruitment for a Head of our IT department. This had been a difficult role to fill and internal stakeholders were naturally sensitive throughout the recruitment process. Janice Riches responded wonderfully with regular updates, enabling me to keep everyone fully informed right through to our successful appointment." Helping the client to determine the role A leading logistics plc, who were already a client, felt that they needed to hire some senior professional marketing expertise to enhance their communication to all stakeholders. Riches Consulting was asked in at an early stage to discuss the role, advise on the range of responsibilities and comment on likely candidates with appropriate experience and commensurate salary levels. A confidential search assignment reached a swift conclusion, to the client's satisfaction, prompting the Chief Executive to say: "Riches Consulting are the most professional recruitment consultancy that I have ever worked with." |
