“Mattinson Wright is the most effective search firm I have worked with. I have known Sarah Mattinson for over ten years and she always quickly gains an understanding of the key elements of the search and then approaches the task with rigour and a fresh, creative style. They operate in a very crowded market but their key differentiator — what really makes them a cut above the rest — is the outstanding service provided to both client and candidates. I thoroughly recommend them.”
Richard Johnston, CEO, TriStart Ltd
“Sarah Mattinson is a highly efficient, pro-active recruiter who knows her subject and gets great results. She is both personable and efficient and listens carefully to her clients needs. Sarah responds to those needs in a timely manner, keeping both sides fully informed. She worked with me to provide a high-quality shortlist and, ultimately, an excellent candidate who has been hired to the position and is performing well: he is demonstrating that Sarah’s judgement of candidates extends above and beyond the C.V. and simple interview to the more difficult to measure, but much needed qualities in senior level appointments. I have no hesitation recommending her.”
David Phillips, Project Manager, ISIS Innovation Ltd
“Even when given hard to fill recruitment briefs Sarah Mattinson is tenacious and creative in the way that she sources candidates. The candidates that she recommends are always of a high calibre and great matches against the recruitment brief. She has never wasted my time sending over anyone that is not a great candidate and she always has the integrity to say if she doesn’t feel she is best person to source a role. I have no hesitation in recommending her.”
Emma Walters, HR Director, Gilead Sciences
“Sarah did a great job managing the recruitment process when I was brought in to Oxford Personal Genomics — before, during and since. She has a good mix of corporate and start-up understanding.”
Joe Fairley – CEO, Oxford Genomics Company
“I have known Sarah Mattinson for a number of years initially placing me on assignments when working as an independent consultant, then as a colleague and for the last year or so as a service provider for my multi-national company. Our requirements are never straight forward and demand a wide range of experiences in multi-national locations. I have always found her to be the complete professional in her thorough approach with total flexibility and the utmost integrity.”
“I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah and her company to any organization who are looking for international professionals who are willing to work anywhere in the World.”
Mufid Sukkar – Chief Strategy Officer, Nest Group of Companies
“I have had the privilege of working with Mattinson Wright for over one year. We have found them to be professional, resourceful, dynamic, focused, flexible and extremely efficient in dealing with our group HR needs”
Mehran Eftekhar FCA Nest Group of Companies Group Finance Director.
“I have worked with Sarah at Mattinson Wright for a few years now. Her strengths lie in the ability to quickly tune into what is required, genuinely listen — unfortunately a rare skill amongst recruitment consultants and deliver on the brief.”
“I have recommended her company to our clients who also rate her service highly. During difficult search campaigns, it’s important to retain a sense of humour and be “human” and fortunately Sarah has these qualities in spades. A pleasure to work with”
