David L Jones
Partner | Corporate Finance | Healthcare & Life Sciences
Deloitte LLP

 “I first met Philip Seager (Managing Director of Alan Mitchell) in 2000, whilst employed in a corporate development role in the healthcare industry.  He encouraged me to take a broader look at opportunities for career progression including professional services firms and introduced me to Deloitte, whom I subsequently joined as an Assistant Director.
Since joining Deloitte, Philip has been key in the recruitment of a number of high calibre individuals to the Healthcare and Life Sciences team, which has contributed significantly to Deloitte’s success in the sector and my advancement to partner. 
I would gladly recommend Philip to anyone looking to work with a recruitment consultant.”

Simon Raggett, Chief Executive - Strand Partners Limited
 “Alan Mitchell helped us with several Corporate Finance hires during 2006 & 2007 when there were very few high-calibre candidates on the market and a lot of good opportunities for talented Investment Bankers.  The service has been personal, consultative, and friendly, with the team providing constructive analysis of the recruitment market to help us grow our professional team.”

Paul Wedge – Head of ECM, Singer Capital Markets
“We have used Alan Mitchell on a number of occasions in the build up of our equity team. They have provided us with good candidates and sent a good CV for us to evaluate the candidate. There has been follow up to ensure any offer we have made is both understood and reinforced by the job applicant. I have no doubt we will use Alan Mitchell again”

Director Equity Sales at a Corporate Finance and Securities House:
"Alan Mitchell consultants call back when they say they will, chase for interview feedback when they promise to and deliver the feedback in an honest and constructive way. As a headhunter sceptic, I was very impressed by their teamwork and preparation. I feel that I have made some very useful and lasting business contacts with Alan Mitchell staff through the process. Alan Mitchell is unique in that its client base consists of both interviewees and interviewers and its approach in this respect is professional and sophisticated."

Andrew Chubb, Corporate Finance Associate:
"I was very impressed with the service I received from Alan Mitchell, their advisors really listened to what my objectives in making the switch from law to corporate finance were.  They provided useful and independent advice and information based on their sound understanding of the investment banking market.  Their friendly and professional approach, with a firm emphasis on getting the best for both the candidate and the potential employer, was a refreshing change from some other recruitment consultants I dealt with.  I would, and have, recommended them."

Director Corporate Finance House, Covent Garden:
“I have recently recruited an executive level member of staff via Alan Mitchell Financial Recruitment. The project involved placing an advert in the Financial Times. We felt that the project was handled in a professional and efficient manner with detailed information and feedback available at every stage. Our initial meeting was very useful and set the scene for the detailed short list we received including honest and accurate summaries on each candidate. Overall, I felt that using Alan Mitchell Financial Recruitment benefited us in terms of time saving and quality service. We found their approach refreshingly straight forward and flexible.”
     
Managing Director Securities House:
“Sarah Spry was excellent, very professional, reassuring, helpful and proactive. She also invested time and effort to understand what I was looking for and where I might find it. Head and shoulders above most other headhunting firms I have dealt with.” 

Assistant Director Media Corporate Finance House:
"Excellent communication and contacts - a real difference in the market. Best recruitment consultancy I've used in 10 years!"
     
Managing Director Investment Bank:
“Very pleasant and professional approach, excellent team work within Alan Mitchell. Huge value added compared to most head hunters. Consultant really invested time and effort to explore alternatives and find the best options.”
