  • We turned to Goldhawk when we needed to recruit a new Finance Director. We worked with Marc Pronger who knows our business, culture and values. In addition, they are the leading recruiter in our area and this role is based in Dartford. We worked to put together a sensible job specification, and Marc worked hard to get a shortlist together, and continued to supply candidates as our requirements evolved. Despite it being the doldrums of the summer, Marc helped us find the perfect candidate, staying linked closely through notice periods and on-boarding. I can praise Goldhawk’s focus and commitment to filling the role and honesty through the process. I would strongly recommend Goldhawk. Client 25 – Marc

  • Joe Pawlica has been amazing throughout my application for a new role after redundancy. I was recommended to him by a previous colleague for a role that had been bought to his attention and from that moment on I have been in constant communication with Joe. He has been very professional and kept me up to date via WhatsApp and phone calls which suits me perfectly. He has been very considerate and sent me kind messages to wish me luck and catch up with me to make sure everything has gone smoothly. I can’t thank you enough Joe for all your assistance and support during what can be a difficult time.

    Candidate 6

  • It’s refreshing to work with a Recruitment Consultancy that can provide that highly personalised and consultative approach by quickly gaining a detailed understanding of the business needs and scope of the role as well as having that detailed understanding of their candidates’ aspirations, skills and cultural fit to get the perfect match.

    Client5

  • Goldhawk provide a very professional and efficient service, they really listen to the requirements of their clients and put forward high quality candidates. Goldhawk’s involvement here has made the recruitment process for this particular role quick and hassle free.

    Client4

  • Simon was given a hard brief, from a network of family companies, with all the curious working methods that family companies create for themselves. There was a convoluted history and a complex brief for a critical position. He was asked to not deluge us with candidates but to make a judicious selection based on our brief and his knowledge of us. He did exactly that, and delivered several candidates that were clearly of calibre, on brief and professionally appropriate. In my years of interviewing it’s rare to get one stand out candidate let alone several. I have no idea if our experience was the exception or the norm, but there’s very little I can fault, and believe me, I’ve tried to be critical. It was all a lot easier than it could have been.

    Client3

  • Marc provided a very professional service, attentive to our requirements and presented good candidates fully briefed on our company expectations. I would have no qualms about recommending Goldhawk for accounting candidates, and will certainly be using them again as we continue our expansion.

    Client2

  • I have worked with Goldhawk for a number of years but this was the first time with Daniel. He took the time to come and visit us, understand the business and the type of person we needed. The one candidate who was put forward for interview was the candidate we offered the role to. They were exactly what we were looking for. The process was very smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend Daniel and Goldhawk for any accountancy recruitment.
