Testimonials

What people say about us

Just excellent! It feels like a real relationship, not just an agency where I’m asked to fill out timesheets and that’s it. They take the time to understand what I’m looking for and keep in touch throughout the process. It’s refreshing to work with a team that actually cares and stays connected.

Business Analyst

I have worked with Jayne for a number of years and she was the first person I called whilst building the team in a greenfield site. Jayne has been fundamental in building the team, she understands the market and has a great network and is able to understand my needs and provide me with the best options in the market. She has the capability in providing me with the best skill set across the market and capability to hit the ground running.

Chief Procurement Officer

I had a great experience working with Investigo. The support from the team has been really great throughout the whole process and I will definitely stay in contact and reach out when I’m looking for my next move.

Consultant

Working with Investigo was both professional and enjoyable. Their process was really clear and straightforward, they kept me updated every step of the way and made sure I understood what to expect. The consultants were friendly, taking the time to understand what I was looking for and giving great advice tailored to my goals. It didn’t feel rushed or pushy at all, just honest and helpful.

Director

Really impressed with the efficiency of process and quality of candidates that Investigo presented when we had an urgent need for a 6-month FTC backfill position in our prudential regulatory reporting team. Tom drove the process from the outset, understood the experience and skillset we were after, and his communication and engagement throughout the process was excellent.

Finance Director

It was great to feel so well-supported through the process, and I’m genuinely grateful for your professionalism, insight, and care. I’ve had a brilliant experience working with you and look forward to doing so again when I am next available for a new role.

Finance Manager

Rob at Investigo has been integral to helping me fill key roles across my finance team over the last few years. Rob always ensured we met people that were the right fit for our business and kept in constant contact throughout. I will be continuing to use Rob given the excellent level service myself and team have received over the years.

Financial Director

Charlotte has been a key player in finding suitable candidates during a period of instability in the team. She ensured we had a diverse range of candidates who were all the right fit for the company. She is also very pleasant to liaise with and is always readily available for a call or a coffee if needed.

Group Financial Controller

I cannot recommend Simon enough as the best recruiter I have dealt with so far. Simon understands not only business requirements very well but also sees the potential in a candidate. Simon encouraged me to apply for a position which he believed I was a very good fit for. So happy, I have been selected for the position and finally it feels I got the right role in the right company. Simon looked after me before and after the interviews giving me confidence and believing in me. It made the interview process much more relaxed and more enjoyable.

Head of Change - Wealth Manager

Dami is without a doubt the best recruiter I've worked with. He is hard-working, proactive and a refreshingly straight talker. He took a genuine personal interest in the progress of his candidates, which in turn lead to a seamless hiring and onboarding process.

Head of Desk

I would highly recommend Dom. He stands out as a recruiter who truly listens and delivers solutions through thoughtful consultation. After discussing my needs, Dom presented a variety of high-quality candidates who delivered in the specified areas. His market insight and consultative approach ensured a smooth process with clear communication for both myself and the candidates. I've since recommended Dom to other colleagues at the bank and he has successfully placed contractors for them as well.

Head of Front Office Technology

I would highly recommend Will. He has been able to open doors and set-up interviews where others have not. With lots of employers moving to online applications, getting to the interview stage seems harder and harder, so having someone like Will, in your corner, who is willing and able to open doors, makes a huge difference. Employers are still relying on recruitment specialists, despite the online recruitment environment and Will is definitely a top specialist to help one in this tough process.

Head of Market Risk

Out of 5 recruiters I was talking to Chris was the only one to get me the type of job I wanted in the location I wanted. Chris has great knowledge of the market and gives realistic sound advice to guide you in the right direction. Along with his professionalism Chris is great to get along with making the whole process a lot easier.

Head of ML

Kelly’s advice and support are second to none when it comes to understanding not only the role requirements, but crucially the culture and environment of prospective firms. Her engagement, communication and negotiations were exemplary and helped me secure my ideal role. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and her team.

Head of Prudential Reg.

Elizabeth is the best UK head-hunter I ever worked with! She really cares about the clients, willing to dive deep into the business and very good at taking feedbacks! She helped me close a Head of Compliance role within 3 weeks and the candidate fits our requirement perfectly. That's who you'd like to work with! I cannot recommend her enough.

HR Manager, Trading Platform

I’ve worked with Richard Grove and the Investigo team for over five years now both as a recruitment partner when working in-company and, more recently, as an interim professional gaining contracts through Investigo. In both capacities, Richard and his team are unfailingly supportive and go over and above to ensure a great customer and contractor experience.

Interim HR & OD Consultant

I wanted to say a big thank you for your exceptional support throughout my recent recruitment journey. From our first conversation you have been thoughtful and encouraging - and I really appreciated how you kept me in mind after the close call with the other role. Being put forward so quickly for the opportunity and then securing it... it was brilliant!

Interim Strategic Partner

Working with Heather is an absolute pleasure. I was running a high-pressure accelerator project and needed to pull together a credible, high-impact team quickly. Heather listened carefully, grasped the brief intuitively, and helped shape a team deck that reflected exactly what was needed. Her ability to interpret strategic needs and translate them into the right people and materials is rare –and invaluable. She made the process seamless, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again on future projects.

Managing Director

The entire process was handled in an efficient and smooth manner from start to finish. Communication was clear and timely, the team quickly understood my requirements, and they guided me seamlessly through each step. I appreciated how well-organised everything was, which made the whole experience stress-free and professional.

PMO Manager

Glenn recently helped me fill an open position. Throughout the process his communication was consistent and the professionalism he exhibited was second to none.

Senior Engineering Leader

I’d highly recommend Investigo for their exceptional support in securing my new job role. Amelia kept me informed at every stage, ensuring I was always aware of the next steps and what to expect. Her timely communication and clear guidance were invaluable. Additionally, Amelia and Yasmin provided me with great advice and insights into preparing for each stage of the recruitment process, which significantly enhanced my confidence and readiness.

Senior OD Consultant

Chereé is one of the best security recruiters I've worked with. From presenting the contract opportunity to offering the role, she kept me informed and proactive throughout the process. We've built a great professional relationship, and I would highly recommend her for any recruitment needs. I'd gladly work with Chereé again in the future.

Senior Security Architect

Rob was very attentive and understanding of a quick recruitment process and provided good advice in order to help me reach a decision. He also made an effort to meet up in person, which not a lot of recruiters do, would highly recommend Rob.

Technical Accounting Specialist

Working with Investigo has been a fantastic and rewarding experience from start to finish. They took the time to truly understand what my needs were, taking into account my professional background, skill set, and personal aspirations, which was very much reflected in their ability to match me with an organisation that aligns perfectly with my values and career goals.
