In the past year, I have worked closely with Martin Ward Anderson to fill various vacancies within my organisation. As a result of this ongoing relationship Martin Ward Anderson has built up an indepth understanding of our corporate culture; and therefore candidate requirements, and as such has been able to provide us with many suitable candidates along the way. Their thorough pre-screening processes have meant that I’ve been presented with a short list of quality candidates for every vacancy that I’ve briefed into them and we now have some very valuable employees working for us.

"Having been recommended to us by our UK based headquarters, we contacted Martin Ward Anderson in the Netherlands. We had an urgent need for an interim CFO and Martin Ward Anderson helped us out in a professional and pleasant manner. By working quickly and efficiently and using their finance specialist network of candidates, they presented us with four excellent candidates. Subsequently it came down to us choosing a candidate who we felt we clicked with best and we finally chose the one that suited our expectations perfectly. Due to their knowledge of the recruitment process, their finance specialization and above all their pleasant contact, we will definitely be calling on Martin Ward Anderson again in the future."
