I was introduced to Harmonic Group by a mutual acquaintance. I met with Harmonic to brief them on what was required- they listened and then went about their work in providing suitable candidates to fulfil the role. The candidates put forward to me were all employable and all could do the job. I was in the very fortunate position that 2 of the 6 candidates were exceptional and I have since chosen one and that person chosen is proving to be a real addition to the business. Harmonic were very professional and provided candidates that I could not have got access to. I am very pleased with the result Harmonic achieved and with the excellent Group Financial Director I now have.

I highly recommend Harmonic for their exceptional work recruiting our Head of Finance. Their proactive approach, thorough understanding of our company, and clear communication ensured a smooth process. Our new hire has seamlessly integrated and exceeded our expectations thanks to Harmonic's efforts. They also did a great job supporting the process, with their professionalism and dedication being invaluable, and I am confident they will deliver excellent results to all their clients.

I have worked with Harmonic for 7 years to support our recruitment at TFP during a period of very significant growth for our business. We worked with Harmonic on a retained basis to find our current Finance Director and were extremely happy with the result and the service they provided. They have delivered consistently excellent results for us after that on a diverse range of roles covering Finance, Operations Support, Bid Management, ERP/Finance Systems experts and also Project Management.
