What people are saying


Emma helped me secure my very first job after college; we had many conversations to find out exactly what role and company I would be best suited to.

Emma was on hand for anything I needed - interview tips, advice on business appropriate attire and how to approach different scenarios in the working world.

Thanks to Emma I went into the world of work as a confident, excited and prepared young professional who with a great start to a career in fashion retail.

I trust Emma’s judgement entirely throughout the recruitment process.

She very quickly understood our requirements and the process has always been seamless from start to finish. She is 100% my preferred recruitment agency.

Colville Search was recommended to us by a business associate, to help us fill a role in our HR team and what a positive experience it was. 

We had already had a false start, so efficiency and an immediate solution was key. Luckily, Emma is instantly likeable and easy to work with from the get-go. She understood our brief intuitively and was able to relate to our challenges and make suggestions in the very first conversation.

The next working day I had two excellent candidates in my inbox, with the promise of more if we desired. We didn't need to see anyone else in the end because we struggled to choose between the initial two candidates anyway - we loved them both!

We had the interviews in the coming days and made an offer to the perfect candidate (which was accepted!) by the end of week 1.

Colville Search clearly has an excellent pool of candidates and understands how to spot someone who 'gets it'. Their pricing is reasonable, and their business terms are straightforward. I won't be going anywhere else for future hires into my team. Emma is my go-to now!
