“Searchlight has consulted with Fremantle for over 12 years and has successfully supported us with many key hires. They are exceptionally well networked across the market, and they build and maintain strong relationships with candidates. They manage our expectations, are upfront and honest and are intellectually bright around the key attributes of roles. ”

“We’ve known and worked with Searchlight for a long time; they are the only recruitment company we’ve used over the last 20 years. When we last expanded the team and needed to do three quick hires, they helped us enormously and found excellent candidates, with whom we are very happy, and who have added greatly to our team”.
