Testimonials

Care South works closely with Hilary. In recent times her expertise and advice in the sector and in particular where we have had demanding positions to fill of delicate situations to handle discreetly, has been invaluable. Together, we managed to fill the available positions with exceptional candidates on every assignment.

I asked Hilary to support us to recruit two key senior nursing positions. We had previously tried our own recruitment campaigns and other agencies, but with no success. Hilary was consumately professional. She took time to visit us and the services we were recruiting for. By understanding our specific requirements, Hilary had real clarity of the profile of the candidates we were looking for. Throughout the recruitment process, I was kept fully informed of progress. The nature of the roles and skill set required made them very challenging to fill, but we were delighted with the shortlisted candidates, all of whom we could have appointed. The successful candidates are ideal and I am very grateful for Hilary’s professionalism and tenacity in finding them for us. I would thoroughly recommend Hilary’s expertise, diligence, stakeholder engagement and value for money to support with key hires for which finding the right candidates is so important.

The largest asset our charity owns is a care homes business, whose profits are used to support the charity’s ability to fulfil its purpose.  Hilary ran a critical (and highly successful) search for a new CEO for the care home business – our most important recruitment activity for years. Not only was the process of going through the search and interview genuinely seamless and also totally confidential, but Hilary went far beyond the standard brief.
By really understanding the culture of the group, the successful candidate was not only professionally outstanding but also a remarkable fit for the wider organisation. Hilary invests in understanding the heart and soul of a business and as a result finds those who have the genuine character to match the CV.

Hilary Shenton delivers the highest quality service and she is fully committed to the client and the agreed process. We were always confident that she would do what she said she would do.

The candidates we were presented with were from the top shelf for the position we were looking for. She clearly understood our needs and then was spot on with the candidates.

We were presented only with really relevant candidates, which saved us a lot of time. And from the moment she started looking for people until the position was filled took only a few weeks.

High quality services do not always come cheap. However, given the high rate of success and the speed of the process, I would argue that you get more value for your money by using people like Hilary Shenton. We never worried, we always knew she deliver – and on the budget agreed upon in advance.

It was a success working with Hilary. The candidate has now been working for us for some months, and he is already delivering first class results – exceeding expectations! And it is comfortable and exciting to work with Hilary as well. Hope to do more work together in the future!
