What our clients say about us …

 

Kilpatrick International came highly recommended to us and we weren't disappointed.  They were responsive and took the time to carefully determine our needs.  This was reflected in the high calibre of candidates they presented to us for consideration.  Thanks to their experience and dedication to our search, we were able to effectively fill our position more quickly than we had expected.  I can confidently recommend Kilpatrick and would not hesitate to utilize them in the future.

Lyndon L. Davis, SPHR
Vice President of Human Resources - Data Systems International

Kilpatrick have been a preferred supplier of executive search to Arup since 1999.

Since then they have carried out over thirty assignments for Directors, Leaders and Specialists in all the engineering disciplines across the UK and in Europe.

We have what we regard as a unique culture at Arup and Robert has shown that he understands our particular requirements. He has a good knowledge of our sector, and is supported by a capable research team. Robert is tenacious in fulfilling challenging projects for key specialists, achieving high quality results. He maintains regular, informal contact to keep up to date with our recruitment plans.

Head of Resourcing - Arup

 

Our decision to utilise Kilpatrick came about when we needed a search consultancy with the right market knowledge, European exposure and skills to conduct two highly confidential searches to find new Country Managing Directors for our growing businesses in Germany and the Netherlands. Bob Thorpe our consultant demonstrated a very good grasp of our business and our needs and we found the in depth and thorough service provided by him to be timely, fully effective and completely in line with our expectations. He kept us closely advised of progress and the quality of candidates found and finally short listed for our consideration was very high. Both appointments were filled to our complete satisfaction. We are happy to recommend Bob's services and will plan to use him again in the future.

Jane Marshall
Director, HR Operations CIME - Iron Mountain Europe

 

Our first experience of Kilpatrick was in 2001 when Robert supported our drive to improve manufacturing performance through the appointment of an Operations Director. Robert’s broad experience, wide network and experienced judgment, supported by the strong research capability of his team enabled us to make a timely and effective appointment.

The success of this appointment has led to several further assignments as a partner in our recruitment activities and I have no hesitation in recommending Robert’s services.
