Testimonials
"I traditionally left agency relationships with the Talent Acquisition teams to develop. I had heard a lot about Richard and hired a number of highly talented people from him in a temporary and permanent capacity with Vertex Associates. Whatever the requirement, he always delivered in a timely manner, and he secured one of my most memorable and successful senior finance hires.
Due to some changes in the business I broke the tradition of not meeting agencies and had a first hand experience of meeting Richard, and am still in contact with him today. He’s a personable and likeable individual, and it was good to meet the person behind many successful placements within my finance team.
I would highly recommend Richard and Vertex’s services to anyone looking to hire the very best people into their finance team. When I need to add depth and quality to my next team, Richard and Vertex will be the business partner I will be reaching out to."
CFO – Global Media Business
I have personally worked with Vinesh for the last couple of years and have been very impressed by his approach and the calibre of staff that he has found for our business in a variety of positions.
Vertex Associates are responsive, very personable, and clearly care about the level of service which they are providing. Most importantly they are always honest and transparent which I value highly.
Frequently we have had an urgent business need to recruit temporary workers with specific experience very swiftly and Vertex Associates have never let us down; their speed of response and dedication to helping us to resolve the internal challenges we have faced by providing us with some excellent temporary staff has been really appreciated.
Vertex Associates have taken the time to really get to know our business and the type of skill set and personality we look for. They have also demonstrated that they have a very good understanding of the roles we are looking to recruit and this level of attention to detail makes them stand out from other recruiters I’ve worked with. The candidates that I have interviewed from Vertex Associates are always well prepared and of a high calibre which has also impressed me. Recruitment is a time- consuming task, but I feel Vertex’s approach have ensured that any requirements I have are managed effectively and their speed of response doesn’t then compromise the quality of candidate that he presents.
Vertex Associates always go the extra mile to ensure they are providing the best level of service that they can to, and I would be very happy to recommend Vertex to others looking to hire staff.
HR Director – Leading UK Not for Profit Organisation
I was first introduced to Richard and the team at Vertex in January 2021, when I joined the Talent Acquisition team.
Richard quickly built up a great rapport with the team and myself, and has successfully placed 13 people during that time, at anything from entry level, mid-senior up to Director and Board Level. Across various areas of Finance including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Client Finance, Financial planning & analysis, and Finance Leads
The team are slick, professional and always have a handful of top-spec candidates over to us in a matter of days, if not hours.
Feedback and Candidate management on their side is always excellent and Richard will always come back to us with the candidates feedback within a few hours of the interviews.
No role is too tough (and we've had a few!) and no request is too outrageous, there's always a big yes to my silly demands and ever changing requests and requirements.
To put it shortly, they know what they're doing, and I wouldn't go to anyone else for my Finance recruitment!!
Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist – Global Advertising Agency
I have worked with Dalton on a number of occasions over the last few years, for a variety of roles, from Purchase Ledger Clerks to Qualified Accountants.
Dalton has always taken time to understand the business and dynamics of the team in order to pass me the most suitable candidates; I particularly appreciate his response to feedback that I have given and that he takes my comments on board for future appointments. As a result Dalton is the first person I turn to when recruiting!
Financial Controller – Leading UK Events Business
I have recently had the pleasure of working with Vinesh and Jemma at Vertex Associates, who have helped me obtain a wonderful new job.
I would highly recommend Vertex Associates, the staff are friendly, extremely helpful, patient and always ready to answer any questions or concerns you may have. If they are unable to answer your call, they will always return your call later in the day. The level of customer service they provide is exceptional.
They prep you well before an interview and put you at ease.
Vertex Associates will see you through the whole job process and help answer any questions along the way. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a job to get in contact with Vertex.
Commissions and Territory Analyst – Global B2B Media Business
Having worked with Richard for over 4 years now, I can honestly say that I don't know a finance recruiter better than him. He has been so much more than a recruitment agency and at times has without doubt been an extension of my team (or in some cases, the most important part!)
He approaches everything with high energy and a no-nonsense attitude - communication is second to none and his high degree of emotional intelligence and sourcing capability make sure that whenever he is tasked with filling a role for me, it happens quickly and we find the right person first time, every time.
I don't work with anyone else, because Richard makes sure that I don't need to and what more could I ask for!
Talent Acquisition Director – Global Travel Business
Jemma is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with; always accessible and communication was consistent from her throughout the recruitment process. All candidates supplied were perfect matches against our job spec and Jemma made the whole process seamless.
I would highly recommend both Jemma and Vertex Associates to anyone as their representation of our business, as well as their candidates, was best in class.
