"I run the Property Recruitment team for PSD in London and have used Perriam & Everett to recruit consultants for the past few years.  The service provided has been excellent.  This is down to the fact that they have taken the time to understand our business and culture and used this information to provide the right people.  They have a good gut-feel as to the type of individual that would do well with us.  Throughout the process they provide targeted, prepared and keen candidates and their ratio of success is generally very good.  Also they are honest and approachable with integrity.  I never feel that we are being played off against other companies like some recruiters.  They also provide us with a basket of cakes when someone joins which is much appreciated by certain team members!"

Marcus Fry, Managing Consultant, Property Division, PSD Group

"Eames Consulting is a market-leading provider of recruitment and search solutions to the Financial and Professional Services sectors. We work with FTSE 100 and 250 entities to address their human capital requirements and offer contingency, search and consultancy services. One of our main differentiators is the quality of our people. We employ highly capable and experienced consultants and managers all of whom have developed a superior network and expertise in their chosen market, supported by our comprehensive training and development programmes. We take care to employ dynamic, delivery-orientated individuals who share our focus and values. Perriam and Everett have worked with us since the start of the business in 2002 to recruit recruitment staff at all levels for us, from Practice Head to Graduate Trainee. They recently sourced a key industry figure as an Advisor to our Board. They have gone to great lengths to understand what we need and I value their consultative approach and market knowledge. "
Matthew Eames, Managing Director, Eames Consulting Ltd

"Perriam and Everett have consistently supplied me with properly qualified and briefed Recruitment Consultants. They take the trouble to thoroughly understand our business needs and the type of people we recruit. For this reason they have been the single largest R2R supplier to my division. All their placements have become valuable team members and, in his first year, one of them has become a top performer within the whole Michael Page Group. Perriam and Everett's service is honest, no-nonsense and professional. I am more than happy to recommend them."
Steve Rutherford, Director, Michael Page Group plc

"Good Morning Ladies
Just a quick note to let you know that everything is fine for my start tomorrow morning.I would like to thank you for all your help over the last few months. You did a great job and I am extremely grateful."
Mark Soden, Partner Global Telecoms and Technology, Boyden Global Executive Search

"From 1997-2000 I was a senior researcher supervising a team of three at F. Neumann International Executive Search in Moscow. Specializing in MCG, financial services and banking I developed a strong network of contacts within the corporate community in Central and Eastern Europe. I then moved to the UK, and after taking a break to start a family I wanted to get back in to a career as challenging and rewarding as the one I had left behind. I met with Perriam and Everett and was advised on how best to present myself to the UK market. Consequently, they introduced me to a boutique executive search firm in London to head up their research. I am thrilled to be back in the thick of my chosen profession and am walking testament to the good advice available daily and guidance available from the consultants at Perriam and Everett!"
Elena Greaves, Researcher, Chatworth Rowe

"I started the Anthony Gregg Partnership in 2003 with the aim of distilling 14 years' knowledge of UK and international recruitment into one uniquely effective search and selection service. Founded on reputations and networks gained at the top end of international recruitment, we have gone on to break new ground as a provider of intelligent, apt and ethical services with the penetrative reach that the Tier One firms can't match.  Perriam and Everett have been critical in helping us build our own teams and giving us advice on our employer branding, in the way we advise our clients.  I highly recommend them to consultants looking for an informed perspective of the executive search industry."

"I have joined Heidrick and Struggles as Co-Head of the Financial Services practice in London. Previously I was at Whitney Group LLC for seven productive and fulfilling years, most recently as Managing Director and Head of Europe. Heidrick and Struggles' global business model allows me to execute European and Worldwide searches more efficiently and effectively. I had arrived at a point where I wanted to spend more time with clients and executing searches rather than dealing with the day-to-day operational management of a search business. Given the high quality of the infrastructure at Heidrick and Struggles, I now have more time to personally provide advice to clients rather than becoming distracted by running my own business. I have been in the recruitment industry since 1995 when Zena Everett spotted my potential and placed me at Harvey Nash. Whilst I was there I built the business development team for the Financial Services Practice. I'm grateful to Perriam and Everett for helping me enter this industry and placing me into an organisation which trained me well in the rigours of search and business development."
Simon Hall, Partner, Heidrick and Struggles

"For my money, Zena Everett was the the top speaker at EREC 2007. She obviously knows the industry inside out, is totally on the ball and gave delegates an insight into the Executive Recruitment process that is all too rare - an honest and very useful one!"

"I have known and worked with Zena Everett, of Perriam and Everett, for ten of the twenty years in which I have worked in the recruitment industry. During that time I have used Zena's services on a number of occasions both as a client and a candidate. She has always demonstrated an excellent understanding of the market place, discretion and judgement. Additionally, Zena has worked extensively to produce independent research and information which is relevant to the recruitment sector, and her business is a shining example of ethical, professional recruitment within the recruitment industry. She is a frequent contributor to industry forums and a strong advocate of recruitment as a career."
