Testimonials

Jo Newton

I joined CareSuper a few months ago and my initial contact was with Alisha. One of the things l appreciated most about the interview process was the level of communication Alisha provided. Alisha’s warm manner ensured my application process was positive, not the nerve wracking experience that applying for positions can be. I was provided with all the information l needed prior to commencing at CareSuper so the onboarding experience was a smooth one. The care shown by Alisha is an excellent reflection of the culture at CareSuper.

Niharika Puri-Bayliss

Alisha was amazing through the recruitment process. She embodied the values of the company: she was genuine, personable and highly knowledgable about the process. She was also really proactive and went out of her way (even on her day off!) to ensure I was comfortable and understood all of the steps involved in the recruitment process. I would highly recommend Alisha as a Talent Partner and would love to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Kalpna S.

Alisha was absolutely amazing throughout the recruitment process and a great pleasure to deal with. She was genuinely passionate, caring and professional, demonstrating a high level of integrity. Alisha was helpful and reachable and was always there for questions/updates responding quickly to my questions and clarifications. Even when I ended up declining the role, Alisha’s professionalism and friendly demeanour did not change despite the high level of effort she had expended to convince me to accept the role. Alisha, you are brilliant at what you do and one of the best, if not the best, Talent Recruiters I have dealt with! You have made the recruitment process fantastic, so much so that I would hope we cross paths again in the future as I would enjoy going through the experience again.

Alisha provided exceptional, friendly service and support throughout the recruitment process and gave me every confidence that my needs were being looked after. She kept me regularly updated and informed, which I greatly appreciated.

Mark Fradkin

Alisha worked for me at Marshall McAdam for approx. 2 years, and during that time was an absolutely fantastic person to have in the team, and the company as a whole. Not only for her infectious personality, but her commitment, drive, market knowledge and ability to relate to advisors within the financial planning network she operated within.

Renato Manias

I was fortunate to have been found by Alisha at a time when I was transitioning from university to employment. Alisha was key to my success at getting my current job as a Financial Analyst and I am enjoying every minute of it. Her support, care, and expertise was crucial in helping me to pass every step of the interviewing process. A big thank you!

Alisha has over 10 + years experience working in the recruitment field. Over this period Alisha has experience working across both the temporary and permanent recruitment space. More recently she has moved into a specialist role recruiting in a wide range of arenas specializing in senior appointments to the corporate sector. Alisha builds rapport quickly and has a very good understanding of the necessary balance between skill set and cultural balance in locating the right candidate for the role. She is a highly skilled consultant, who can quickly identify key criteria matching skills, strengths and opportunities.

Pauline Chidgey

Alisha worked with my team in Harrow building a hugely successful business in the 4 years that we worked together. Alisha is one of the most dedicated, talented genuine people that I have had the pleasure of working with. Alisha always goes that extra mile to ensure that the client and candidate are both kept fully informed, updated and her service to them was trully first class. Alisha was a pleasure to have in the team professional but with a great sense of humour. Essential requirements for being successful in this industry. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alisha and if she were still in the UK I would create a position for her and know that she would deliver superb results.

Agnes V.

I first met Alisha Hook when I applied for a senior finance position in mid-2011. Alisha is a professional and thorough recruiter who took the time to understand my employment history, strengths and career aspirations in determining my suitability for the position and her client's requirements. I found Alisha to be open, honest and warm in her approach which is both refreshing and encouraging. She kept me informed during the recruitment process and ensured that I was provided with sufficient information about the organisation and position that I was applying for. I now continue to have a professional relationship with Alisha as her client and she keeps me up to date with recruitment and salary trends and the employment market. I have drawn on her knowledge and expertise when conducting salary reviews for my finance team. I look forward to continuing to work with Alisha for all my recruitment needs.

David Shepherd

I have had the pleasure of knowing Alisha for five years; of which 12 months were spent working alongside her and witnessing first hand her proficiency as a recruitment consultant. Alisha is extremely professional and competent in all her dealings and quickly builds repour and trust with her clients. Alisha goes out of her way to gain a thorough understand of not just the role specifications but also the type/cultural fit and motivations of the ideal candidate - which she then expertly sources using many years of recruitment experience. In my time working with Alisha all she received was positive feedback from both clients and candidates and I have no hesitation in recommending her.
