Testimonials

I met Andrew whilst he was headhunting for a role. Throughout the recruitment process, he was clear, fair and always kept me up to date. He played a pivotal role once it came to the offer stage to really understand my asks, and managed the difficult conversations whilst being fair to my new employer. This was hugely reassuring as I was relocating countries and moving my family. Lastly, when Andrew wasn’t available, there was always a person on hand to help, who had the full handover and was able to pick up where he left off. This is a credit to Andrew and his team.

Chief Digital, Marketing and Transformation Officer

I really appreciated Andrew’s down to earth approach. He was super supportive, kept me regularly informed and was open and honest.  Due to this positive experience, I’ve since enlisted Gleeson Recruitment Group to help me find two new superstars for my marketing team.  I would highly recommend Andrew, whether you’re looking for your next role or on the hunt for some new team members.

Co-founder

We are always impressed with the thorough approach from GRG Executive Search, and Andrew took the time to fully understand the business and the role to create a complete picture of what the business was about, our culture, and what we were looking for. This resulted in finding excellent candidates that matched the brief perfectly.
