James Carter

​“Thanks to MorePeople for their expert help and guidance, as always. We’re very happy with the results of opting for Executive Search for the recruitment of our Nursery Director, Sarah has been tremendous and a credit to the MorePeople team, good work!”

James Carter

Simon Willis

​“I’ve now twice used MorePeople to recruit a Non-Executive Director for the Camgrain board. On both occasions MorePeople were able to source high quality candidates who fitted not only the job specification but also the culture of our business and on both occasions, we have made successful appointments from within their talent pool.

I find MorePeople to be professional, thorough, and easy to work with and would recommend their recruitment services to anyone in the marketplace for a Non-Executive Director.”

Simon Willis

Nick Shorter

​"I just wanted to say how impressed I have been with your team throughout this process! We were on a tight timescale but they managed the process from both ends with a perfect balance of pressure, emotional intelligence, and highly effective communication. All parties knew where we were and what was required of us at every stage of the process, with no time wasting and delivered in a professional and concise way, which is exactly how we like to do business. We are delighted with the result and have an excellent future member of the senior management team, the service was exactly as you said it would be!

Paul Willgoss

"MorePeople were excellent in the way they managed the potentially challenging recruitment of our first CEO. They took a high-level brief and turned around a clear role description which we could all recognise. Their communications were timely and focussed making our part of the process as easy as possible.

As per the brief the very strong list of candidates was really interesting from a wide and varied range of backgrounds and experience. The interview process and appointment was made very straightforward. I've known the MorePeople team for many years and they never fail to just get it and deliver."

Paul Willgoss

“MorePeople gave us complete confidence throughout the process; the calibre of the shortlist, the assessment tools, and the insights we received made the difference.”
