Client Feedback for Ann Radford
Client: TRG plc
“Ann and the team at Ad Idem have been my go-to recruitment partner over the past seven years and have delivered me a string of amazing candidates that have driven forward my business over that time. The difference for me has been the consistency of the relationships and the desire to find people that not just fit the job spec but will truly thrive in my various teams. This is based on the deep understanding and commitment of them to understanding me personally, my style and the culture of the teams that I am trying to build. I wouldn’t want to do a piece of recruitment without them”.

Client Feedback for Ad Idem
“I worked with Ann, Felix and the team at Ad idem for a period of 5 years in my HR leadership role at two different businesses.
At all times their ability to listen to a senior brief and deliver on that mandate was excellent. They are able to conduct a tailored search of the market place and source strong candidates who both matched the skill set needed as well as the culture fit. Ad Idem care about their clients and candidates and work quickly to deliver whilst not compromising on quality and in depth screening. Their expertise is not limited to finance and transformation roles, they are agile and able to work on other SVP and C-suite level roles. They worked on a complex International brief for me as Global Head of Investor relations and we had every confidence that their C-suite practise would explore the network and deliver the results. They did just this so I would not hesitate in engaging with them again for other senior roles in the future.”

Candidate Feedback
“Do you remember how good it feels when you are taken care of? This is how I felt when I started the collaboration with AD Idem Consulting. I instantly felt that I was taken care of. Hayley is so warm, yet very professional, a very good communicator and you instantly feel connected with her, she is a very good listener and an active person, having the can-do attitude, yet making you feel valued and precious. The whole recruitment process was so smooth yet so quick. How not to cherish such a relationship? Thank you for your entire support and positive energy! It is a great pleasure to collaborate with you and the team”.

I will also be recommending you to any of my colleagues who are looking for new opportunities, you have been amazing!”

Client Feedback for Ann Radford
Client: McNab
“We had an executive level of role to fill and wanted to ensure that our search for the right person was international, not just local. Ann came highly recommended to us and didn’t disappoint. There were some differences between how we were used to operating with recruiters locally and how the UK operates, but Ann was able to listen to our needs and tailor her approach so we could work collaboratively. She was very easy to work with, understood the brief well, and presented some very solid options of people who were culturally aligned to our business. We would use Ann again if we were to recruit internationally”.

Client Feedback for Ad Idem
Client: EQT
“Ad Idem – and specifically Ann and Sam – have been extremely diligent and responsive. Very fast and to the point selection of candidates, diligent reference checks and close support with all logistical issues at hand. I feel that both client as well as candidates were supported very well and kept up to speed regarding all issues along the process. With their support we found very a suitable candidate in a very narrow timeframe”.

Candidate Feedback for Felix Rattray
“My name is Jaclyn Voor, I am an independent consultant serving Private Equity clients. I recently had the pleasure of working with Felix Rattray from Ad Idem Consulting on a US Transaction Carve-Out role. I can confidently say that working with Ad Idem and Felix was one of the best recruiting experiences. With Felix’s help, I landed my first independent contractor role with a global top-tier Private Equity firm.
From our first interaction, Felix was always helpful and professional. Felix’s strong relationship with the Private Equity client proved to be helpful as he was able to set clear expectations on the role and answer all of my questions providing valuable insights and advice. Over the short time of working together, Felix was able to help coach me through the recruiting process and help me negotiate a competitive daily rate.
Overall, I am extremely grateful for Felix’s help and would highly recommend him and Ad Idem Consulting to any of my colleagues that are searching for next Independent Consultant recruiting arrangement. Thank you Felix for your hard work!”
