Testimonials

"Our experience with Faerfield was excellent, end to end. It felt far more personalised with serious market insight and attention to detail than we have had from other agencies of late."

"As an HR professional sitting on the ‘other side’ as a candidate, you arrive with some high expectations. It's fair to say that Faerfield exceeded mine. For me, what set them apart from other experiences was the human face, sense of humour and the brilliant insights and information they gave me, which meant I could just focus on getting the role! Sitting on the other side, that experience is replicated as a customer, which means that I see well prepared candidates who understand what joining Buckinghamshire offers."

Sarah Keyes, HR Director
Buckinghamshire Council

"Faerfield’s approach was nuanced, they were very supportive and had expert knowledge of the local context."

Carolyn Fair, Director of Children’s Services
East Sussex County Council

"The Faerfield team was a great help from start to finish, I very much appreciated their timely communication. They took time out to get to know me which enabled them to provide advice which was of great value to me. Coming from the private sector into Local Authority, they clearly explained the selection process and provided a good insight into the culture at Sheffield City Council."
