Testimonials
We have worked with staff from IBNL in the past and will extend our working relationship with IBNL in the future.
IBNL are a rising star in a diminishing sea of professional consultancies. We have worked for some of their clients as a small IT consultancy and we have presented IBNL to clients of our own. We do not do this lightly as we might run the risk of losing our clients or, worse, find out that trust in the staff of our partner has been unfounded.
This symbiotic relationship has huge benefits for both organisations. We can work on small or larger projects and pick the best candidates available from both companies for each project. In our view IBNL are one of the most professional and responsive organisations that we have ever worked with. We hope that they feel the same way about our company.
Director: Portman Business Sciences Ltd, Reading UK
I have used Darren’s services on numerous occasions giving him highly specialised briefs. He was able to quickly find and screen candidates presenting me with the best candidates on the market thus saving me valuable time. He has repeated this excellent service over a wide range of IT and business line candidates which is why I keep coming back. I would have no hesitation in recommending his firm to any of my peers.
Senior Partner in a tier one Banking Consultancy
I have worked with Darren both as a candidate and as a hiring manager several times in recent years. Each time I am struck by his professionalism and dedication. He knows the market, but this is the least one would expect of a recruitment specialist. What makes working with Darren such a pleasure is that he never gives up, works cheerfully and tirelessly to find the right people and finds a way to ‘make it happen’.
Independent Consultant Programme Manager – Investment Banking
When seeking my first role as a contractor, Darren offered me great comfort, advice, support and information about the employer and what was required to ensure I was in the best position I could be in going into a role. This has continued to be the case with Darren always available ensure my contracts are in order, and on the end of a phone if I had questions or needed advice. I would not hesitate to recommend Darren to any person seeking a professional career in this industry.”
FX Specialist – Tier 1 Investment Bank
Darren is extremely hardworking and professional and always takes a quality approach to finding the right candidate to match to a role. He asks the smart questions and really listens because he wants to know, not just about the skills and experience you are looking for but also what’s the organisation like, what sort of person would be the best fit.
He secured an interim contract for me at Yell plc (now hibu) which lasted more than a year and as a new contractor, he made sure all the administration went smoothly. Several years later when I was a hiring client in the public sector at HM Treasury, Darren provided me with quality candidates for contract and permanent technical as well as management positions which led to the hire of several candidates.
Darren keeps you well informed at all times during the recruitment process and gives honest and fair feedback. If you’re looking to fill a vacancy and you want quality (real) candidates I highly recommend Darren and his consultancy.
Head of Programmes : Government Department
I have worked with Darren for 10 years. The numerous mandates that I have given over this time to Darren were all very specific and niche, Darren took everything on board and understood the requirements, this was evident with the candidates that I interviewed. The roles were all filled with his candidates. I cannot speak more highly of Darren and his consultancy he is a credit to his profession and from a client and candidate perspective his organisation is the one that you need.
Head of E-Business Financial Markets – Tier 1 Investment Bank
Darren placed me back in 2010, and we subsequently developed a very strong working relationship. Darren was not only tenacious in his ability as a recruiter, but also incredibly helpful, and flexible when it came to outside-the-box thinking to solve problems. I would highly recommend his company both as a candidate and as a client.
Head of Recovery and Resolution Planning – Tier 1 Investment bank
IBNL takes its time to get to know you and to understand you, so that they can match you with the ideal job.
The Recruitment industry has turned into a numbers game, where candidates are deemed just candidates, whereas Darren and IBNL sees you as a person looking for the next great move.
