I've used Elkie to recruit Pick / ARev / OI people for over 20 years, which in itself should be recommendation enough. In my view, she is the only person to go to when recruiting people with these specialist development skills. She looks after both the employer and the employee, and is honest enough to say 'no' when she thinks a seemingly good candidate won't fit into the organisation. If you're not sure, she'll go out of her way to find an acceptable way forward for both parties.   If you're looking for people with Pick, Revelation or Open Insight development skills, she's it - don't bother with anyone else!"    

Rob England, MD - Healthy Software Ltd

 

"Elkie has the personality, knowledge, and communication skills that make her a real powerhouse in the IT Recruitment world. Her connections and knowledge of the needs of her clients benefit all concerned. I highly recommend Elkie."

Mike Ruane, Owner - Revelation Software

 

"Elkie is the best placed person in the UK to provide suitable Pick / U2 / Reality / mvbase, and so on contract and permanent staff. Always reliable, always delivering on time, I have placed several projects in Elkies hands over the years, and every time she has delivered the exact requirements on time and to budget. Thoroughly recommend Elkie's company Prospectus if you are looking for rdbms people."
Merry Player, client at various sites

 

"Elkie's knows her marketplace inside out and has one of the most extensive networks of multivalue specialists in the world. She is always a pleasure to do business with and has strong professional and personal integrity. She genuinely seeks to provide a win win solution for both halves of the recruitment equation."

Andrew McAuley, Managing Director - Sprezzatura Ltd (hired Elkie as a Recruiter in 1996, and hired Elkie more than once)

 

"Elkie is one of the hardest-working people in the Pick space. A tireless bundle of enthusiasm and good-humour, Elkie personifies the small-business entrepreneurial spirit endemic to the community. She's extremely generous with her talent and energy, deservedly earning the respect of her colleagues with her integrity and work ethic."

Jonathan Sisk, Vice President of Education - Raining Data

 

"My first contact with Elkie was when she acted as a recruiter to find me a position. Having received excellent service from Elkie it was natural that I should then use Elkie to help me find staff for a new IT function within the company I worked for. During a period when the skills I was looking for in my staff were in short supply Elkie came up with innovative ideas for recruiting staff, including open evenings and even travelling to Australia to recruit staff from there. On moving to another company I continued to use Elkie to find staff for the next ten years, until I left the IT industry. I have nothing but praise for the way Elkie works and for her enthusiasm, skill and knowledge. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Elkie and have every confidence in the work that she performs."

Keith Neary

 

"Elkie is extremely trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. Within the recruitment sector, there are fewer people who know our marketplace better. If you are looking for someone with MultiValue skills, then Elkie MUST be one of your first people to call."

Martyn Phillips, Business Development Manager -  Revelation Software Ltd

 

"The thing about Elkie is that you can trust her and that is a big thing to say about a recruitment consultant. She makes every effort to get results and people we have seen through her (and employed) all say that she was one of the few people that actually got in touch with them personally and helped them in their career progression. Use her!"

Stuart Shepherd, Director - APT Solutions Ltd

 

  

 

Testimonials from - candidates

 

"In the current economic climate, it seems that agencies are swamped with applicants and rarely take the time to respond to applications. Not only did Prospectus respond, but through understanding my strengths and requirements, I was interviewed for 2 positions and got through to a second interview. For a personal and professional service, I thoroughly recommend Prospectus."
Simon F.,

 

"I really appreciate the approach you take to recruitment compared to the rather faceless and impersonal large outfits, where it sometimes seems like dog eat dog !, and I can say that now from both sides of the fence."

Ian Sanderson, Client & Candidate

 

"I have known Elkie, and Prospectus, for longer than I care to remember. She is one of those rarest of rare breeds - a recruiting/contract agent who actually cares more about the well-being of the candidates she supplies than she does about the bottom line, and who will take a stand on welfare rather than caving in for the commission. Some may consider it foolhardy, but I prefer to look upon it as a sign of her concrete integrity - I have known her to tell a would-be employer to take a hike over matters of principle. Having dealt with Elkie from both sides of the fence - as both employer and contractor or permanent candidate, I know first hand how thoroughly diligent she is in and matching the right people with the right vacancies. She knows her field intimately. As is the nature of the job, she will enquire subtly after information, but unlike some she will not press in the face of reticence. A better recruiter you could not find. I only regret that my current career has taken me out of her agency fold. I do not hesitate to recommend her without reservation."

Gulraj Rijhwani, Candidate

 

"Elkie has the respect not just of me, for whom she has consistently worked hard to provide worthwhile career and employment opportunities. But also the former IT director at Generali who wished all recruiters could be as efficient and provide as good a service as Elkie."

John Godfrey, Candidate (hired Elkie as a Recruiter in 1995 , and hired Elkie more than once)
