‘Ian’s understanding of the sustainable finance landscape and the evolving talent market has made him a go-to person for advice. His market knowledge and network are impressive, and his input has helped shape my thinking on several occasions
Ian was a joy to work with. He guided me through a recruitment process late last year, going above and beyond to offer advice on navigating the interview process and how to exit my last company gracefully. His deep knowledge of the sustainability sector was a huge help to me in framing the new role and making sure I was prepared on day 1.
I had the pleasure of working with Ian on a recent recruitment process and was genuinely impressed by his thoughtful advice, professional approach, and deep understanding of the impact investing landscape.
Ian identified the strong fit between my profile and a highly motivating role, providing close guidance throughout the entire recruitment process. He was consistently available to address any questions and ensured that each stage progressed smoothly and transparently. His professionalism and deep understanding of the role, the company, and the industry made a clear difference.
Ian placed me the role of sales director at Threefold Energy, and was instrumental in making the placement happen.
