Testimonials

Neil Holden, CIO at Halfords

Uniting Ambition helped us as we embarked on a large scale transformation project; including a web re-platform, end to end overhaul of our systems, people and processes from internal to customer facing. We partnered with UA to not only help us to deliver transformation by hiring key talent, but also to build our capability in critical areas such as Salesforce utilisation, cloud optimisation, Agile Engineering & delivery in Architecture. We chose UA because they deliver without fail, and crucially for us, they work as true partners with complete transparency and teamwork. They feel like an extension of our HR team and I trust them to represent Halfords. To date they have provided 150 individuals both permanent and contract to support this important Digital Modernisation programme.

Kevin McGinley, Programme Director

I used Uniting Ambition for turning around a specialist Oracle Fusion Cloud Programme, which had extremely challenging timescales. I required a large amount of highly specialist contractors to quickly help meet our objectives. Uniting Ambition clearly understood our resourcing requirements and quickly responded with a high calibre of potential candidates. The candidates added considerable value and I would definitely use the candidates on future programmes. I would highly recommend Uniting Ambition as a preferred recruitment agency. They provided quick response, understood our requirements, had a deep network of suitable and available candidates and also provided great talent insight which really helped us benchmarking day rates and salaries.

Mandy is probably one of the best professionals I’ve worked with in the recruitment field, first as a candidate and now as a recruiter. Mandy’s communication and interpersonal skills mean that she really understands what you need and she always goes the extra mile. I know I can call on Mandy and she will deliver.

10/10 would definitely recommend!

Jose Gaspar, Chief Product Officer BCA

It's rare to find a recruiter who is creative and looks beyond the obvious to spot the best talent. It's also a rare opportunity to write a genuine recommendation on Linkedin. Well, this is one of those.

Mandy recruited me for my latest position and I can’t speak highly enough about her professionalism and commitment. Throughout the entire process Mandy was extremely helpful and I was really impressed by her knowledge of the business and the industry as an overall. She clearly spent a lot of time understanding the ins and outs of the business which ultimately had a huge impact on my final decision.
