Katherine took time to understand my business strategy along with the opportunities and challenges of the role, to ensure that the candidates not only had the right level of experience but were also a strong cultural fit.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the New Leaf Search team as a strong and valued business partner."

"I think the level of service provided by Katherine and the team as well as the turnaround times and the appropriateness of the candidates was excellent; especially against the backdrop of the summer holiday period."
Chairman & Managing Director (Aug22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Katherine really understood our requirements and was very helpful through the process, efficient in communication between ourselves and the candidate, without being at all obtrusive to the process."
Head of Asset Management (Aug22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jane provided an excellent level of communication and response throughout. On the rare occasion I wasn't able to reach Jane, calls taken by Jane's colleagues were dealt with swiftly and professionally. She took extra time to understand how the role would fit into the team and understood clearly that a cultural fit for us was as important as the technical skills required. The pool of candidates attained and passed through were excellent. So much so, that we interviewed all of the candidates proposed and took a number through to second interview stage also. Jane was able to confidently and concisely outline where New Leaf Search had recent experience recruiting similar roles for other businesses, which provided additional confidence for our own recruitment drive. She was a fantastic partner to deal with at all times throughout the process and was extremely patient, given our recruitment process took far longer than anticipated, In summary: Jane was very professional throughout the recruitment process and took additional time and care to understand our wider needs, resulting in a broad pool of experienced candidates that not only met our skill requirements but delivered on our wider cultural needs also; thank you Jane for your professional approach."
Head of Asset and Portfolio Management (Jun22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I have utilised New Leaf Search both as a candidate searching for a new role as well as a representative for an employer searching for candidates. In both scenarios I was treated courteously and expeditiously by staff who not only have a great understanding and insight of the industry but also have an amazing pool of employers/candidates. I will most certainly retain their services again in the future whether it is from a candidate or employer perspective."
Head of Group Sales Operations (Jun22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Leaf Search has been a long term partner of X for a number of years. Katherine is very diligent and communicates in a timely manner with detailed information on candidates submitted. We have total faith in NLS to provide us with the correct calibre of candidates now and for the future. They take the time to understand what we are looking for in each role to ensure no time is wasted."
National Sales Manager (May22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We have a great working relationship with the team at New Leaf Search and have always found them to be best in class."
Global HR Director (Apr22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I was impressed with Jane's desire to understand our business need and the role profile in question - so much so we gave exclusive access to the market from the outset. Jane has been a pleasure to work with."
Head of Business Development (Apr22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The overall service levels from the New Leaf Search team are very good, irrespective whether my main point of contact is available. I've worked with Jane for close to 20 years and we have built up a strong working relationship where she where understands the profile, characteristics and values of the people we want in our organisation. This, in my view is invaluable when our daily lives operate at such a fast pace. New Leaf Search have developed a successful business based on their experience and expertise in the asset finance industry, but this is supported by excellent customer service. Dealing with the team is always easy, engaging, and never a chore."
Head of Asset Management (Apr22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Proactively supported me and the business in our search for a new member of the credit team, taking time to understand the quality and experience I was looking for in a candidate. Candidates had varied experience but allowed me to understand the current market conditions in terms of experience versus salary expectations. The consultant kept me updated so as not to miss out on candidates in a highly competitive marketplace. I have already referred New Leaf Search to a colleague of mine who is looking to fill 3 positions."
Head of Credit (Mar22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Very quick to respond to my initial enquiries. I dealt with Katherine who was friendly and professional and provided good communication throughout the process. They know the sector extremely well and this showed in the calibre of candidates that were proposed to our business. I felt the whole process worked very well, so would not suggest any changes... very satisfied"
Head of Collections (Feb22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your website is head and shoulders above the asset finance / leasing recruitment competition and it's one of the reasons I contacted you to assist with my vacancy."
Head of Collections (Jan22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Neel was always very responsive. He went into a lot of detail about the company, the requirements of the position and the company plans; providing regular update calls with suggestions for changing the search. He knew the industry well and provided good advice and he filled a senior role (Sales Director) ahead of the planned schedule. The preparation work in understanding the business and the role requirements was extensive. The advice received was excellent and collaborative."
Chief Operating Officer (Nov21)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Leaf Search took the time to understand the business culture and requirements from a candidate perspective. Katherine knew the business well enough to provide one suitable CV, which turned out to be our preferred candidate. After interviewing alongside others from other sources, this was clearly the stand out CV."
Relationship Director (Jul21)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jane takes the time to truly understand my requirements & then only sends me suitable candidates which closely match those, thereby providing a genuinely first rate recruitment service"
Managing Director (Jun21)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jane provided an excellent service. We were looking for a very niche candidate in a niche market and Jane has fulfilled both of those briefs. Jane has a great knowledge of the market; thinks outside of the usual candidates for us and has twice found an excellent candidate. She has a good understanding of what we do and is always very responsive. Very grateful and look forward to working with you again."
Commercial Director (Mar21)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We had to quickly fill a specialist role and were not confident we could find someone with all the relevant skills and experience we needed. Jane at New Leaf Search came up with a few excellent candidates and we were able to secure someone very quickly and within the required deadline. We will certainly be using New Leaf Search again..."
Head of Receivables & Block
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Candidates are presented with accuracy, honesty and information broader than just the requirements to perform the role. Vacant job opportunities are approached with the intent to understand not only the skills required, but the team fit and the career journey. Market insight is always offered and discretion is guaranteed. Jane and Katherine genuinely care about making a placement that feels right for the candidate and right for the company. That is why we enjoy partnering with them".
Head of HR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This has been a remarkably efficient recruitment experience, given it related to a very specialist requirement. New Leaf Search managed to land the ideal candidate first time. That candidate has smoothly progressed to acceptance of a contract of employment, despite needing to navigate the challenges of recruiting in a Covid-19 business environment."
Sales Director
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Katherine is always a joy to deal with! She also takes the time to get to know the vacancy and even helps with providing market salary info. Thanks for your help"
Senior Talent Acquisition Partner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Leaf Search understand our company culture and our business needs which means they recommend candidates suitable for the roles that we are recruiting for and save us time and effort. In addition, they never 'push' unsuitable candidates which is a real bugbear of mine"
Sales Director
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Service for me is very important. Katherine's attention to my business and the needs of my team / new hires is exemplary... Regular reviews are productive, the outcomes are always effective... Quality of CVs is always high... Industry-leading... NLS has proven, time and time again, to be an essential part of my recruitment strategy.

Director
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Leaf Search has great connections in the asset finance industry and really understand the various roles we're recruiting for. The communication has been excellent throughout and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. Overall - excellent!!"
Head of Asset Finance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"As always; competent, honest and very timely... guidance given in the past and present has always been relevant and spot-on... Having used NLS as someone looking for a position and as someone looking to fill a position, I can testify to their professionalism, knowledge of market and efforts undertaken to understand the requirements and suitability of both the candidate and the hiring company. I can fully recommend NLS to job seekers and employers alike."

Internal Recruiter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Leaf Search provided an outstanding service for our international recruitment. When we hit a potential roadblock they went the extra mile to resolve the problem very professionally and we successfully landed our candidate. They took the time to engage with us thoroughly before we started and the manner and frequency in which they kept us informed and updated throughout the process is one of the things that sets them apart from the rest of the recruitment market. A pleasure to do business with."
Vendor Relationship Director

HR Manager
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Everything worked really well. We were frequently updated and any further information we required was provided. It was a pleasure dealing with Jane at New Leaf Search.

Head of Vendor Sales

"Engagement was prompt, efficient, professional and always with a smile .... A clear understanding was sought from the outset of the search... CVs were excellent, candidates very suitable for the vacant roles... Always prompt and delivered as per arrangements made. NLS always provide the level of service and professionalism I expect from an organisation that represents the name, spirit and culture of my company. Service is first class and attention to detail is second to none - excellent work, well done and THANK YOU!"
Director
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"... good candidates introduced and followed up during the on-boarding process. Looking forward to meeting over the next few weeks to further understand how we can partner well together."
Recruitment Business Partner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Keep doing what you're doing; no changes required. Unfortunately, the recruitment sector is saturated with agencies and hence there is some frustration as a growing company with too many calls coming in from all sorts of people. New Leaf Search have grasped that I am directing all enquiries through our HR director whereas many other agencies think side-stepping into the line managers will help the cause....it will not. Well played NLS."
CEO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In the grand pantheon of leasing recruitment companies you rank very highly and I would suggest you continue to do what you do and leverage the relationships you obviously have in the sector as you currently do."
Head Of Sales
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Leaf Search once more delivered at the highest standards to fill our open hiring needs. They, and especially Jane, fully understand our hiring needs and, most importantly, delivers on those specific needs. I cannot think of any enhancements to their current services since our needs were met and in full."
Senior Director, Operations, EMEA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We worked closely with Katherine and the team to identify the right candidate for an important role in Germany. She delivered a very high quality of service, she is very customer-oriented, the candidates she proposed were of high quality - I would use NLS again and can recommend to others to work with them."
Head of Sales Finance, Germany
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In summary, I found the entire recruitment process through New Leaf Search to be seamless - extremely professional, prompt & thoroughly reliable. They took time to understand my needs in detail (beyond the scope of a job specification) and followed up with me on an ongoing basis throughout the process. They secured a 100% placement rate with me on the vacancies I had available and I am certain that if further senior vacancies were to arise within my team, New Leaf Search would, without doubt, be the first call I would make!"
European Programmes Manager Originations

European Credit and Risk Director
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We have known New Leaf Search since its inception and have been extremely pleased with the very high standard of professional service received. It was so refreshing to talk to people who understood our requirements and who made sure the candidates introduced to us were not only highly skilled and experienced people in the areas specified but whose personalities would match those of our existing staff.

"There are several things that have impressed me about New Leaf Search; consistently high service levels, understanding how our organisation operates and of course, delivering results – with successful assignments completed in France and Germany. It’s a breath of fresh air to deal with an agency that takes the fundamentals of client service and operational excellence so seriously and I applaud them for obtaining ISO 9001 accreditation."

"In my dealings with New Leaf Search, I have always found them to be a most helpful and trustworthy company to work with. Their understanding and professional knowledge of the finance industry is to be complimented and the company has very high standards which have always been maintained in my dealings with them. In my role, both personally, and as a Credit Manager with my last two companies, I have always used New Leaf Search to fulfil my own career aspirations and also to fill any vacant positions, knowing that I will receive the highest recruitment standards and be provided with top-quality candidates that have specifically been chosen to satisfy roles I have advertised."
Credit Manager, UK and Ireland
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Prior to dealing with New Leaf Search Limited my opinion of recruitment agents was that the best was similar to a sleepy civil servant & the worst were on a par with Estate Agents! New Leaf Search has mastered the art of being sales-focused but without feeling the need to cross over the line. Having recently successfully filled two positions for us, I have no hesitation in recommending their services."
Regional Financing Manager
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"…since its formation, I have regularly instructed New Leaf Search to find candidates for our business. The consultancy is highly professional and responsive to our needs in finding quality candidates. Consequently, New Leaf Search has a deep understanding of our business needs."
Managing Director
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Leaf Search worked with us in sourcing a complete team to launch a brand new finance and leasing business. Right from the start, it was obvious that we had struck gold. They not only understood the sector very well but were adaptable and flexible enough to react very quickly to the inevitable challenges that one always encounters in building any new team. It was a real pleasure to work with them."
