Oxfam

“Sam Stephens supported Oxfam GB with the recruitment of the Head of Economic Justice programming. Sam was thorough, professional in approach and lent leadership to a complex recruitment process spending time at the beginning to really understand our needs. The search resulted in a very high calibre short list with all four selected proving to be appointable. Candidates provided unsolicited feedback on their positive experience in their interactions with Sam. I would recommend Macaulay and in particular Sam who went above and beyond in terms of support to unsuccessful candidates during the feedback process and was willing to act as a sounding board post interview to support in the final decision making process.”

VisionFund International

"Ewen McAlpine led the process of my recruitment to the COO role at VisionFund International. Subsequently, I moved from being a candidate to becoming a client as I used Macaulay Search for two difficult Global Director recruitments. In the first search, they brought me 5 appointable candidates. In the second search (which two more expensive head-hunting firms had tried and failed), they brought me 3 appointable candidates. In both cases, we were faced with the wonderful challenge of choosing between strong candidates that brought the skillsets and the fit required. We have made excellent hires thanks to Macaulay Search's dedicated work. I recommend them to you."

- Max Robinson - COO, VisionFund International

Blue Cross

“I have engaged Macaulay Search on several occasions in the past six years to fill Executive and non-Executive positions in a major UK based animal charity.  The team have excelled in each and every case. Assignments have always been preceded with thorough research into the organisation to ensure a sound understanding of the need and our values.  This has been repeated each time to ensure up-to-date knowledge of the charity.  Using a rigorous process, the team demonstrate creative, out of the box thinking and pursue some unlikely leads to ensure a cross section of high quality candidates.  Following one-on-one interviews Macaulay Search have recommended remarkable people with a passion for the role.  The results speak for themselves and I now share responsibility for a charity with a wonderful group of charismatic well qualified individuals who have joined our organisation for the long-term. I have no hesitation in recommending Macaulay Search.”
