Candidate Testimonials

"I have worked with Toner Graham a number of times over the last few years and have always found that they have listened to my requirements and tried to match them to the vacancies that they have. They take personality into account and ensure that the culture of potential employers matches. They are very enthusiastic about their work and show a personal interest in you as a candidate. I have no hesitation in recommending Toner Graham to future candidates."

"I would thoroughly recommend using Toner Graham when looking for finance-related roles. As a recently qualified ACA I was repeatedly told by other agencies that I would have to take a group reporting/accounting role or internal audit - Toner Graham was the only company that never said this to me, and more importantly didn't pursue these options with me. Instead I received calls about more interesting sounding roles that fitted in with what I wanted to do after qualifying. After Toner Graham ensured that we met in person, there was always a friendly and polite voice on the other end of the phone and very little of the hard sell - you can say no without feeling that you won't hear about any other roles."

"Toner Graham provided me with refreshingly honest and open career guidance and clearly understood my current skill set and future ambitions. This prevented my CV being circulated to only remotely relevant vacancies and ensured I was ultimately placed in a position which suited both the company and myself. I will definitely use Toner Graham in the future whether as a client or as an applicant, their proactive approach was faultless."

"I have worked with Toner Graham on many occasions - both as a candidate and a client. Their consultants have consistently delivered a personal yet professional service that has exceeded my expectations. Their honesty and straight talking coupled with the intuition that comes with experience has delivered great results!"

"Toner Graham differed from other recruitment firms in that they did not suggest jobs that I was qualified for but not necessarily suitable for. They went for the full match - both for the individual and the company. I also didn't go for weeks without hearing from them - they kept in constant contact with me regarding relevant opportunities and the state of the job market. When it came to preparing for interviews I was given some very practical and helpful advice. All of the above led to me being placed in a job that is both rewarding and challenging."

"Toner Graham were the only recruitment firm offering a true consultancy service. They really listened to what I wanted and even challenged my own thoughts and ideas, in order that we were both sure of what I wanted out of my next move and my future career. They also knew far more about their clients and the roles on offer, resulting in very little time wasted discussing roles that would be unsuitable. I got exactly what I was looking for first time around."

"Back in August 2004 I decided it was time to change employer. I spoke to several friends who had recently changed jobs in the accounting sector who recommended several different recruitment consultants they had gone to, including Toner Graham. What stood out to me about Toner Graham over the others was that they took the time to listen to my requirements for my next role, gave guidance about the recruitment market conditions and helped establish what my expectations should be. They only ever contacted me with relevant roles, all of which were with large blue chip organisations. By October 2004 I had accepted a role within a large global organisation after considering several options. Should I wish to change jobs again in the future I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Toner Graham."

"Following qualification with a big four firm, I decided that the time was right for a move into industry. I met a number of recruitment consultants, but right from the start I felt that Toner Graham genuinely listened to my needs and helped me focus on what was really important to me. Following our initial meeting, Toner Graham contacted me with a number of suitable positions and ultimately placed me in the position that I now hold. From our initial meeting through to my acceptance of a position, Toner Graham showed a sincere interest in my requirements and was a valued first point of contact - for me this sets them apart from the competition."

"Toner Graham were recommended to me in 2002 when I was looking for my first move out of practice. I had a detailed discussion with them about what I wanted from the role and where I wanted to be based. This enabled Toner Graham to target appropriate roles for me and I accepted a role, which gave me an opportunity to further develop the skills I had gained in professional practice. When I was looking for my second move in industry, I returned to Toner Graham for assistance. With their increased knowledge of the suitability of various roles and companies for me I secured an ideal job offer within a very short period of time. I have always found the staff at Toner Graham to be both friendly and knowledgeable and would not hesitate to recommend their services."

"Having been represented by a number of leading financial recruitment consultants, Toner Graham were by far the best. Not only did they get the basics right of meeting deadlines, providing feedback and offering advice, they also did what many of their peers failed to do and that was place me in a position that I was suitable for and interested in. They are a must for anyone serious about finding the right job."
