Client Testimonials

The Carmichael Fisher team  was tasked with searching for a CFO and Chief HR Officer, to complement the senior management team. Both roles were handled professionally and successfully. The organization has consistently applied an organized scientific research methodology to the searches, carrying out thorough testing and ensuring successful conclusions.

 I will not hesitate to mandate Carmichael Fisher again with senior management roles, and those that require proactive headhunting.

Walid Sidani - Chief Executive Officer, ADNIC

We had a difficult role to place and Carmichael Fisher were thorough in their approach and straightforward in their dealings with us.

Sarah Patel - HR Manager, Trevor Main and Associates

The service I received from Grant exceeded all my expectations. He sourced an excellent candidate list which clearly demonstrated that he understood my needs. He kept me informed of progress throughout the process and facilitated the appointment of the best candidate for the role.

Dean Van Straaten - Group GM Risk and Compliance, Tabcorp

Carmichael Fisher took the time to understand our business needs, the level and quality of service was excellent as was the candidate we offered the role to. I would certainly use Carmichael Fisher again.

Rebecca Hunt - Head of Group Risk and Complicance, AGL, Australia

I have been very pleased with the recruiting partnership I have with Carmichael Fisher.  Carmichael Fisher is a true recruiting partner for our business. The consultants are very professional, persistent and efficient.  Omniture is a business which has been experiencing rapid growth and many organisational changes, which demand the talent acquisition function to be extremely agile and responsive.  Carmichael Fisher has greatly impressed us with their quality of service and  their ability in delivering results.

Vivien Li - HR Director, Omniture, Singapore

Carmichael Fisher is a high quality Executive Search firm that stands out for three main reasons. Firstly, its consultants have real interest in their clients.  Justin and the team are well known to Videojet and our parent and they have taken the time to really understand our business and our culture.  Secondly, they have the infrastructure and experience that has enabled us to use them successfully for both national searches in the UK and Germany but also to broaden out some searches across Europe when necessary. FInally, they truly focus on delivering against one of our key measurements,  time to fill. The team is driven not just by quality but also by how quickly that quality can be brought to the table.

...In my experience Carmichael Fisher consultants provide a timely, honest and effective service with a real commitment to delivery and building long term relationships with their clients....

E.D. - Executive Director, Major Construction Company UAE

Gary is one of the few senior executive recruiters in the market space who is really pro-active, committed and driven.  He fully understands his client needs, uses his global network and experience and makes sure he creates the best match between his client and selected candidate.  It's a great pleasure to work together with him!  Highly recommended.

Patrick Driessen - Head of Financial Services, APAC - EDS

I'm happy to say we have been very satisfied with Jan Cheang.  I have dealt with Jan for several years now and found her to be thoroughly professional, trustworthy and suitably discreet.  Turnaround speed and quality of candidates surfaced are other important criteria for us and Jan has not disappointed us - a commendable feat indeed.  Overall, I'm very happy with her service.

Brenda Ng - Human Resources, BNP Paribas,Singapore

Wonderful job here.  You have been really successful in getting through with a very positive picture of the client and the offer itself, despite three parties originating from three different countries. Also, the fact that the client employed a UK-based search firm to hire for CEE underlined the importance of this position and potentially wide scope of competition (candidates).

P.J. - Head of Direct Marketing, Continental European Bank, Eastern Europe

I have always found Belinda to be 100% focused on my needs as a client, taking the time to understand exactly what I was looking for - both in the technical skills and personality of a candidate.  Very rarely do I recommend suppliers I have used to others - but in Belinda's case I have had no hesitation and the feedback I have had from colleagues has been great.

N.P - Human Resources Director, Leading Media Group, Australia

We have worked with Carmichael Fisher Executive Search over the last 12 months to source senior, high calibre executives.

The most crucial element they bring as an Executive Search Consultancy is not only their knowledge and understanding of the market, which is exceptional, but also their ability to quickly understand our business, what we need and how best to deliver the right solution at the most cost effective price.  They work very closely with the business to ensure that they deliver professional and high quality service at all times. Our experience of them is that they are extremely thorough in their research and selection processes, which ensures that short listed candidates truly match the role in terms of fit, knowledge, experience and skills.  In each of the recruitment processses we have had difficulty in selecting the final candidate as the short listed candidates have been of such a high calibre, which of course is very good news for us.

I would also add that the candidates we have appointed have given us very positive feedback in relation to how they feel they have been managed by Carmichael Fisher from a candidate perspective.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Carmichael Fisher  for their level of professionalism and high performance in the recruitment arena - on top of that they are a great bunch of people to work with!

J.D. - Director of Human Resources, Media Company, UK

I have worked with Carmichael Fisher Executive Search and,  in particular,  Paul Twine over the last 12 months  - initially as he moved me into my current role and subsequently he has helped me to build the team.

On both counts Paul Twine and Carmichael Fisher have delivered to the highest standards and met all deadlines and delivery targets.  One of my key values is for suppliers to do what they say they are going to do and Paul and the team have over-delivered on this at every stage.

In addition, I would also add that other businesses I have referred to Carmichael Fisher have given me very positive feedback.  I have no hesitation in recommending Carmichael Fisher for their level of professionalism, hIgh performance and results in search, recruitment and selection.

M.K. - General Manager, Global Investment Bank, UK

Catherine's open and honest nature is both refreshing and reassuring in an industry where integrity is paramount.  Her great knowledge of the business domain and its related requirements is crucial for recruiting in a specialised field such as legal and compliance.  Immaculate professionalism in her approach and always available, I cannot recommend Catherine more highly from both a candidate and client perspective. 

Hannah Deukmejian - Executive, Compliance and Regulatory Risk, Financial Services Group, Australia

I have known Belinda Paris for a number of years now - both as a client and a candidate.  Belinda takes the time to understand the needs of the business and/or the individual and follows through diligently to achieve the best possible outcome for all.  Her interpersonal skills are excellent and she has always been honest and open in her dealings with me in both capacities - client and candidate.

Kylie Smith - FInancial Controller, Leading Media Group

My experience with Carmichael Fisher has been excellent.  We have worked with them on retained searches for hiring very senior level positions in our organisation and their approach to the process is remarkable.

The thorough research of the organisation, keen understanding of the position in hand and deep knowledge of the competitive scenario sets them apart from many other search firms.

With their experience of the GCC, the team is able to reach out to a vast talent pool thus providing many options for sourcing.

Their professionalism in dealing with clients and candidates ensures comfort to both parties making the process enjoyable.

What is also commendable is the team's continued communication  and engagement with us at all times thus keeping the search focused.  The detailed mapping and regular updates provide a wonderful structure to the process.
