“I was involved in the recruitment of Finance Manager for a sister company and needed the help of a specialist finance recruiter so approached Tracy at Bayman Atkinson Smythe as Tracy had helped me with recruitment in the past.  Tracy came out to meet me at the premises as she said it would help her gauge the environment and culture of the company and better understand the requirements of the role. Tracy ran through her perception of what was needed with me, which was spot on. Tracy got to work and put forward a select small number of applicants. All applicants were perfect in terms of experience, and we made the decision to offer one of them the role. The candidate accepted and we are confident that they will be a perfect fit for the business and will become a valued and long-standing member of the management team just like their predecessor.  I have to say the process of recruitment using the services of Bayman Atkinson Smythe was first-class, and their communication was outstanding throughout the process. Big thank you to Tracy and the team, it goes without saying that we will be in touch again for the next finance team hire”.

“I have known Claire for many many years.  Too many to count, to be honest.  Claire has assisted me personally in my very early career to find suitable positions.  As I climbed the ladder, I used Claire’s previous employers to assist with recruitment.  I think that it’s the individual rather than the company that you choose and so as Claire moved and now set up in her new partnership I clearly moved with her.  I had never worked with Tracy before so it was nice to have the introduction whilst they were working on our recent Head of Finance recruitment.  It’s so important that the recruiter understands our business and my teams to know that the candidate they put forward is one that will fit. The candidate appointed has been fantastic and shows the calibre of individuals on your books." - Finance Director

“We needed an extra Finance person after a recent business expansion, we had already worked with Sarah Costin on many occasions so I already knew she would do a great job. I contacted her and she came to see me the next day. Sarah took time to understand our business, the team, and the requirements of the new role.  She managed to find the right candidate quickly which is just amazing in the current job market.  I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to Sarah and her team. The candidate is just the right person in every aspect of our business, she has quickly settled into the role and is doing very well. I would definitely recommend BAS Recruitment and Sarah in particular, and I will look forward to working with them again”.

“In the last couple of years, whilst working with BAS Recruitment for interim and permanent vacancies, they have taken time to understand our organisation and what we are looking for.  It feels like a personal service, which makes such a difference.  They also have an understanding of the budget pressures which our sector faces.  We appreciate your honesty regarding the market and in managing our expectations, whilst at the same time ensuring that only candidates who meet the key “musts” of the brief are put forward for us to consider.  In particular, the most recent appointments you have helped us with are going really well (Bank & Control Manager, Interim Finance Assistant and Interim Accounting Manager).  Thank you so much again”.
