Testimonials
Listen to what some of our clients have to say about us.
I’ve known Jonathan for a couple of years now and can honestly say he is 1 of 2 recruiters that I enjoy working with and will trust with my career.
Jonathan recently placed me at a company, which was a lengthy recruitment process throughout a global pandemic, and to say I was impressed is an understatement.
Not only do I recommend Jonathan as a consummate professional on LI, I will actively advise my industry peers to work with him.

I’ve worked with Jonathan for the last three years and have never received anything other than incredible service.
Quick to identify our needs, he was always able to drill into the true nature of our requirements - even when the information that he was given was sketchy at best! He is an absolute pleasure to work with and I look forward to continuing our relationship for many years to come.

Their research into my market, my business and my company's specific capabilities and expertise meant that candidate selection was always accurate and relevant.

Group Sales Director
Packaging Company
Taylor Higson are without doubt one of the best headhunters I have worked with. They understood exactly what we were looking for as a business and were very selective with the candidates they put forward to me. Unlike many recruitment agencies who throw any
number of potentials forward, Taylor Higson listened carefully to what we were looking for as a business and only contacted me with people who fitted the criteria completely. A breath of fresh air. As such I would have no doubts in recommending them to anyone looking to recruit.

Taylor Higson are true experts in their field. They understand the sector they recruit for; understand recruitment; understand their clients. The latter is the most important for me. Taylor Higson made my life a lot better in terms of recruitment, liaising directly with my managers at my request but keeping me informed every step of the way. They went out of their way to visit our offices in Surrey a couple of times whilst being based out of Manchester themselves. They met the team they recruit for and learned as much as they can about me, the Company and the team.
