Mike Seville, Operating VP

"It's really important for us as a business to identify the right person, and we're really pleased with the candidates we've hired with Burns Sheehan. 

My first experience with Burns Sheehan was actually as a candidate looking for a new role, and now as the person who is looking to hire top talent. In both sides of the hiring process they do a great job of knowing the right people, and if you're a candidate, they do a fantastic job of positioning that person for success in the interview."

Nick Read, Head of Product UK&I, CBRE

“Burns Sheehan quickly became our number one technology agency of choice, and so were invited in as an embedded recruitment solution to complete a new Data Science hiring project.

Once the on-site project kicked off, Burns Sheehan worked alongside our recruitment and data teams to help define roles that would add further structure to our growing data team in London. Burns Sheehan delivered a healthy pipeline of CVs across all roles, and really understood our stakeholders’ needs.”

Niamh Keys, Head of People Operations, iwoca

“Candidate experience is incredibly important to us, and my favourite thing about Burns Sheehan is that they put the candidates’ interests above all.

This allows us to trust them to be an extension of our brand. They care about how we’re represented in the market, and always keep me up to date with the latest trends. I really like the consultants as people, too. It’s more than just a service, it’s a partnership.”

Tom Wood, Talent Acquisition Partner, MoneySuperMarket

"It’s the speed, flexibility and reactiveness of the Recruiters and Operations team that makes Burns Sheehan great to work with.

Burns Sheehan have been a really useful and reliable partner for Zego over the years. We've partnered on the recruitment of multiple Software Engineers, often very last minute, and the team have managed to get people on board sometimes within days of our requests. 

The quality is always very high, and we can always rely on a quick response with potential solutions, or several options to explore."

Sean King, VP of Engineering, Zego

“It’s a two-way partnership; they have real accountability and pride in what they do.

Burns Sheehan always want to understand the motivation behind why you want to hire, so they can genuinely link up the right person into that role. There’s a real maturity and depth to our working relationship. There’s lots of communication, as well as sessions to kick off new roles, to make sure we’re all aligned. You feel as though you’re working with people and it’s not a transaction. They really feel a part of us, and we love working with them.”

Tom Townsend, Talent Acquisition Lead, Gousto

"Everything is calm, detail-oriented, and tailored to the fast-paced demands of an early-stage start-up.

Burns Sheehan stands out for their clear communication and focus on providing long-term value. Every engagement demonstrates their intelligence, strong market knowledge, and desire to understand our business.

There’s no ego - they focus on understanding the brief and delivering exactly what’s needed, making them incredibly easy to work with."

Will Wrigley, Lead Talent Partner, Sylvera

"Reliable, proactive, and knowledgeable, they’ve always delivered for us—so much so, I haven’t needed to work with anyone else.

Burns Sheehan’s true ability to consult, clear market knowledge, and understanding of competitors and roles set them apart."

Zara Koch, People Advisor, Funding Circle

“I’ve worked with many recruiters over the years, but Chris and the team at Burns Sheehan have always stood out for their ability to find the right people. 

They do that by really understanding what we do, as well as the culture at Netacea. The candidates we get are always right – and arrive already wanting to work for us because Burns Sheehan do such a good job of selling Netacea to all candidates. Without this, we’d have struggled to scale the top tech talent that we needed, to compete with global tech companies.”

Andy Still, CTO, Netacea

"I truly value the authentic and trustworthy relationship they’ve built with us.

"Burns Sheehan is a trusted partner who consistently delivers to brief and offers valuable market feedback."

Pia Williams, Head of Talent Acquisition, Checkatrade

"I've always found that Burns Sheehan are on point, have relevant data and share market intel in an insightful and easy to digest way. 

As a business undergoing a significant technical transformation that needs current and evolving data, the insights reports are invaluable to making sure we can keep up.... The data isn't just about salary benchmarking, but expectations of the market, common trends and suggestions too. Their 2022 Tech Hiring Report is the best salary survey insights deck I've used this year."

Natalie Harmon-Tatton, HR Manager, GoCity

"Having successfully worked with Burns Sheehan for over 10 years, they have always been my provider of choice as both a candidate & client.

When we started Sproutl and were building out our data function, it made sense to choose them again. Throughout the ongoing partnership, Burns Sheehan have helped us hire some exceptional talent.

They demonstrate great communication throughout the process, a wealth of candidates, good market & technical understanding and a genuine care for getting the job done."

Andy Done, Co-Founder & CTO, Sproutl

"With Burns Sheehan, I always trust that the talent they share with us will be vetted and capable.

Burns Sheehan has supported us as we’ve laid the foundation for our business-critical Product and Engineering teams internationally. They’ve given us confidence in our ability to reach our goals as a technology team. There’s no sales pitch either; they just crack on with it, and they’ve yet to send us a candidate who fell short of the mark.”

Nick Carpenito, Senior Manager International Recruitment, Peloton

“Over the last 10 years, the team at Burns Sheehan have consistently provided our Tech team with a number of excellent, technically astute and culturally sound Engineers.

They really seem to understand the cultural dynamics of the team and the ever-changing technical requirements needed within the team – which is great peace of mind when recruiting for talent in a competitive sector.”

Andrew Tate, Head of Technology Operations, Rightmove

“MOO were working with Burns Sheehan over an 18 month period to help support our internal recruitment function during a period of high growth. 

Working onsite, the two consultants responded to challenging requirements, and delivered exceptional candidates on time and on budget. The experience and network of contacts they brought to the process has been invaluable in meeting the needs of the business as we grow – particularly in regard to technology recruitment.”

Paul Jones, Former People Director, Moo.com

"I've known Nick & the team for several years and worked with them on a variety of roles and multiple companies.

The thing that sets Nick & the team apart from other recruiters is the time they take to know me, and the values I'm trying build in teams. That goes way beyond finding the right skill set or a person with a particular type of experience."

Mike Forman, CTO, Expana
