‘Alex Marshall, Director, CIL UK
“The BLT team understands our marketplace and our business well.
They have taken the time to understand what makes us different, and work hard to find consultants that have the potential we are looking for.
We aren’t a cookie-cutter business, and BLT understands that our culture is an output, not an input. The consultants at BLT are courteous and professional and I certainly feel like a valued client.
‘Alan Holroyd, i2a Consulting
“BLT have proved an insightful, efficient and effective recruitment partner over the last 10 years.
They took time to get to know us and so provide us with candidates who fit our culture really well. ”
‘Anke Mueller, AMR International
“I suspect AMR was not an easy client for BLT. We have quite particular needs, and might have come across as a bit difficult to please.
BLT worked hard to tease out exactly what it was we needed, and the candidates they put forward were spot on.
We hired a number of people as a result and they are thriving.”
‘Claus Werner, Director, Ocean Strategy
“BLT has during the years been of extreme help to our business. From the beginning in 2002, we have had a very good relationship with BLT as they understand our business very well and are very efficient in helping us with our recruitment needs.
Thus, we have benefitted greatly from BLT’s very active position and excellent network among both relatively new and more experienced consultants.
Particularly during the last 3 months where we have scaled up our recruitment efforts, BLT has been second to none in helping us filling several positions with top class candidates.”
