"Summit understand that recruitment isn't a one night stand and consequently finding the right candidate requires a lot of forethought, detailed investigation, perception and perserverance; something the team at Summit have in spades. Combined with a very high level of quality service we have been delighted with the suitable fit of the candidates we have found through the Summit team."

"I have known and utilised Andrew Livesey's expertise for 14 years. Krispy Kreme has retained Summit on three occasions for Director level appointments. The calibre of people he was able to short list gave me real choice in determining the right candidate. A firm is only as good as its people and Krispy Kreme’s success since establishing ourselves in the UK in 2003 is testament to their quality. Summit has always quickly gained a clear insight of our business needs from start-up phases through to our current UK wide roll-out stage of development. At each stage a different type of person has been required and they have delivered this person each time - on time. I would not hesitate to partner with Summit again or to recommend them to other firms looking for a professional recruitment company that delivers."

"Summit have identified a number of key individuals for John Laing - this was not an easy task as my division in John Laing was newly formed and had no established track record. Summit worked closely with us to understand the culture of the company and also provided sound advice about securing the identified people."

Candidate Testimonials - 2008 "Having been through the process at Summit, I can honestly say that it comfortably exceeded all of my expectations. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the Assignment Briefing document which highlighted everything that I would want to know about both the company and the role for which I was being considered. The interview itself was far more thorough than any interview I had been involved in before and, while very challenging, was both great fun and thought provoking. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Summit and am looking forward to being on the 'other foot' as a client! I will certainly go back to Summit for hiring members of my own team."

"Having headhunted me for a position earlier in my career and maintained contact, Summit was my first port of call when considering a career move. I was confident that the Consultant I met had a good understanding of my background and aspirations, and that she knew the type of company I would fit into on a personal level. I was also encouraged by the fact that Summit is a retained Search firm and, as such, all correspondence is discreet and in the strictest of confidence. This level of trust was vital at such a critical point in my career and I am delighted with the outcome of Summit's efforts."
