Systems Support Manager, Provider of On-Demand Information Services

"Recruitment is not a destination. It is a journey. One for which you need a partner, who'll make it worth while, be there for you, guide you to the right destination and share your satisfaction in reaching it.

And along that road build your trust, give you faith and encouragement, acquire the right understanding of where you want to go and recommend the best route to guide you getting there . and make it fun and exciting to see a challenging situation as a land of opportunity.

In my dictionary all of this stands for Lyall Associates - the professional people who would go the extra mile for their candidates and customers alike.

My recruitment for F5 was done by Lyall Associates at a time when the recruitment market was quite challenging and a foreigner like myself was considered by default " high risk, too much hard work

They saw beyond the geography and did not choose to go with the predictable " sure choice " many other companies in the space would go for. They put their professional capability and personal characteristics judgement to ensure the match between me as a candidate and my current employer is beneficial to both parties and makes sense for the long run.

The results after 1.5 year in the role are: Overachievement, Promotion to an Inside Sales Manager role, Circle of Excellence recognition. Lyall Associates helped me get there. They created the environment for me to be in the place I want to be, with the people I want to work with, in the company that is going places.

The future: Whatever it may bring I know that I can trust Lyall Associates as first port of call to help me bring more " best fit " people on board with F5 and ultimately achieve even more success for the benefit of the company."

Chris Andrews, Inside Sales Manager, F5 Networks

"Lyall Associates are one of the most professional recruitment consultants I have come across in a long time. They worked on my behalf at all stages of the recruitment process and always kept me informed of progress. I would certainly use them again in future."
