What our clients say

We pride ourselves on providing an exceptional service to our clients. Here’s what they say about us.

Thank you for the diligence and expert service you gave us with regards to finding a replacement for our FD through our retained search. I was never in doubt that we’d find a number of competent operators with a good fit for the agency, and this was proven throughout the process. I feel lucky now for the insight into how recruitment can be done well, and what it takes to feel like you’re finding the right person. David Atkinson Managing Partner, Agency Space
We have worked with Harmonic on two briefs recently and in both instances I was very impressed. They always seem to be on top of the process to make sure things progress efficiently and are always clear and prompt with feedback. Sachin Dosani Group COO, Wonderhood
We have established a trusting relationship with Harmonic and have worked exclusively with them to place strong talent. Francesca Gillard Head of People & Culture, Adstream
Harmonic have worked closely as a retained agent, and throughout the process respond well to feedback and in my opinion stand out in the market. Michael Saunders Group Finance Director, M&C Saatchi
It's been a real pleasure to work with Harmonic to develop our Finance team. Their reactivity and approachability have been the key success in our collaboration so far. Sometimes it felt like we were working for the same company with the same goal: hire the right person. Highly recommended! Romain Moulinas Finance Manager, Captify
We have engaged Harmonic to assist us with two key roles – our Financial Controller and Head of Business Development. For both roles we were very impressed with their client service, industry knowledge, quality of candidates and candidate management. They were great to work with and were responsive, friendly, tenacious and maintained the right balance in terms of forwarding suitable candidates but not flooding us with options. Alison Parsons Talent Development Manager, Hamilton-Brown
