Two kinds of scalable solutions, for one-off hires and superstar teams

"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

"They genuinely care about finding the right opportunity for both the candidate and the client.

I've worked with Burns Sheehan both as a candidate and a client over the years. Their attention to detail and willingness to listen to feedback stood out both when I was looking for a new opportunity but also when building the data team at Graze.

It has been great working with Burns Sheehan, who were always great at finding good candidates in a very short period of time. They will certainly be an asset to anyone that works with them."

Antonio Nicolae, Head of Data, Graze

“When I started at Beauty Pie we were building a tech team from scratch. We began using Burns Sheehan to help us scale up our tech, engineering and data teams.

A lot of the other agencies we’ve previously worked with are all about closing the deal regardless. With Burns Sheehan though, if a candidate isn’t right, they won’t be afraid to tell us that. As well as being really knowledgeable, everyone at Burns Sheehan has been a pleasure to work with. We always know what’s happening, and they’re always available to get hold of, even if that’s out of hours.”

Sophie Garrard, Recruitment Partner, Beauty Pie

"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

“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 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

"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

"Burns Sheehan help us a lot in the tech space – and when we’re making external hires, they’re my ‘go to’ every time.”

Everyone at Burns Sheehan is great. They really take into consideration what an employer goes through, and they’ve hired a lot of our team.

They give time to listen to your needs, build good relationships and don’t hound you all the time. They seem to really care about finding you the best people, and only send you a few of the right people, rather than lots of candidates.

Kirsty Cameron, Head of Talent Aquisition, Doctor Care Anywhere

“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

“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

"Their attention to detail helped build a trustworthy and dependable relationship.

I worked alongside Burns Sheehan whilst scaling Wayflyer’s Data and Analytics teams. Together, we identified and secured top-tier candidates for their dream roles and facilitated a functional and lean recruitment process. 

Alongside their team being super curious and a delight to work with, we had a successful partnership that is a testament to their hard work & dedication!"

Cassie Groves, Senior Internal Data Talent Partner, Wayflyer

"My favourite thing about working with the team at Burns Sheehan is the consistent level of quality they produce.

In the years we have worked together we’ve built up a good level of trust. This really shows in their commitment in contributing to our growth plans by providing great people and excellent service.

The team have helped us hire for niche skill sets and we now have people in the team with diverse experience which not only broadens our offering, but allows us to build capabilities around their expertise and further develop their careers."

Stephanie Yacoubian, Talent Acquisition Lead, BJSS
