“I have worked with Elaine for over a year now and during that time, she has quickly become my recruiter of choice. Elaine rapidly understand our business and our talent needs, always sending candidates that were the right fit for the job roles both in terms of work experience, skills and cultural fit. I have always been very happy to interview any potential candidates as I know that they will hit the mark which is really important when juggling a very busy diary! Elaine gives a good overview of the candidate in advance along with their expectations. Follow up is always thorough but never pushy. I would highly recommend Elaine to any business for their recruitment needs and also for other people related services such as mentoring, talent management and market research.”
Kate Regan, Chief Marketing Officer at The Delta Group

“Elaine approached me about a potential job and we hit it off straight away. She always kept me informed throughout the hiring process, and provided reassurance and honest feedback. She knows the industry well and is passionate about matching candidates with the right role. She provides a personal yet professional service and I would have no reservations in using Elaine for my future recruitment requirements.”
Rebecca Rain, Account Manager at VCG Kestrel
“I immediately call Elaine when I need new or replacement talent in my team. She is very simply honest, trustworthy, reliable and clearly an authentic expert; which in itself is refreshing. More importantly, she understands the full spectrum of agency roles and the combination of technical and communication skills required; plus the personality traits and attitude that candidates need to thrive in a market leader like TAG Worldwide.”
Cheryl Andrews, Group Account Director at TAG Worldwide
“Elaine is a very lovely bubbly person, who will always put you first. She is an amazing organiser & one of the most hardworking people I know. Nothing is too much for her. She can take any assignment and find the perfect fit between candidate and organisation”.
Jo Barry, Account Manager at Magnet Harlequin
“I have worked with Elaine on only one occasion, but I remember it well. Although she was obviously paid by the client, not me, I really felt like she was on my side – acting as an ‘agent’ for me! She took the time to understand what I am capable of, what I aspire to be and what makes me tick.
She put me forward for one position; but it was a perfect fit and consequently I got the job. I have worked with a few recruitment companies, but TM really stood apart and I would not hesitate in contacting Elaine again in the future. I found Elaine extremely personable and easy to work with and I was confident she would only put me forward for the right roles.”
Mary Fitzgerald, Group Marketing Manager at Broadway Education
“I have known Elaine for over 20 years, as a colleague, candidate and a recruiter. In that time she has always been totally professional and reliable. As a candidate, she has helped me in giving coaching for interviews and key competency questions and as a recruiter, she has a thorough understanding of the process. She is well respected in the industry and I have no hesitation in recommending her.”
Karen Foulser, Freelance Senior Account Manager
“Elaine, as well as being an absolute pleasure to work with, has outstanding industry knowledge and connections. She always take the stress out of the recruitment process and her warm and professional manner puts candidates and clients alike at ease.”
Roz Bacon, Account Director at Interbrand
Elaine worked for me over a period of 10 years during a period of rapid growth for my business.
As part of her job she acted in a variety of roles, ranging from account manager to our film studio clients, through to HR manager in charge of recruitment. She has a great eye for detail, and required very little supervision. She has a natural diplomacy and awareness of situations, and could always be relied upon to say and do the right thing, even in the most difficult of circumstances. She also has an excellent sense of humor which was appreciated by clients and colleagues alike, and somehow managed to remain cheerful and positive even with a very excessive workload.
As such, I would thoroughly recommend her for any assignment that requires hands-on knowledge of the market place, and also understanding and diplomacy with people generally.
Simon Clark, President at The Sherlock Group
