Testimonials

“How I can I put in words enough praise to truly reflect on the service received from Darren. From the outset, honest and clear. Balanced and unbiased conversations on my situation. Very personal and understanding. As the job candidate, I felt like the paying client and not a commission win as some agencies can treat individuals. Initially the (dream) role was offered to another, however the feedback Darren passed on from the company was detailed and constructive and well delivered. It was only positive so despite not being successful still great to hear. When that person did not take the role and Darren contacted me again it was again handled brilliantly. However I had been made another competing offer, Darren’s advice and support me making my decision was completely unbiased. I couldn’t recommend Darren enough if you are looking for a new role or a new member of your team. Will be my go to personally and professionally if and when the need arises. Thank you Darren.”

“Chris placed me in my current role, he was very approachable, easy to work with and understood the market. He kept me up to date on the progress of my application and worked to ensure that the job offer and negotiations went smoothly. I would have no hesitation to use him again in the future.”

“I have worked with Chris both as a recruiter and a successful job seeker. Chris has always impressed me with his industry knowledge and his candor. Chris has a friendly, professional and unpressured approach which is refreshing in the ultra-competitive world of recruitment.”

“Chris placed me in a role 10 years ago and was so impressed with his honest and professional approach that when it came to finding new staff I looked no further than picking the phone up to ask Chris if he could assist with my recruitment requirements. Sure enough Chris has provided a number of first class candidates to meet my specific needs which demonstrates he has a good understanding of the AML/Compliance environment to fit the right people to the correct job. I would high recommend Chris and am sure he will make a great success of this new venture.”

He answered all my questions no matter how obvious they might’ve been and was more than happy to get any further details.

"Chris and his team provided a great service. I struggled to find meaningful interviews until I worked with CLARC. His pre-interview updates were paramount to me getting the job. I attribute this to his interpersonal and networking skills as, to my mind, the recruitment arena is built on trust and the ability to work well with and provide services to people."

"I found my current role through Darren at CLARC Recruitment. He was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, giving feedback immediately after the interviews and was always available to answer any questions. Darren appears to have that edge when sending a prospect to an interview, in that the role I applied for was completely compatible to my previous experience. In the past I have attended interviews where my experience was not a great match, but was sent anyway. The processes Darren uses to match applicants with roles appears to work very well. A highly recommended recruiter."

"I have known Chris for a very long time and have always stayed in touch when considering my next career move. When Darren contacted me with the perfect opportunity, it came at exactly the right time for my next career move and I couldn’t be happier. Darren gave me all the information I required and was in touch regularly as the interviews progressed. I always felt like I was guided through the process at each step to ensure that my new firm and I were the right fit. Darren was always an advocate for me for the role and I can’t thank him enough.
