“Mandy, I have known for over 10 years both in a client and candidate capacity. In that time, she has acquired senior talent for me across two different organisations and within multiple functional areas. In my view, she spends considerable time with her clients, to really get under the skin of the requirements and person specification. She brings an uncanny knack for matching candidates both in terms of cultural fit but also improving the level talent in all the organisations I’ve worked for, as well as a strong commercial bias and insight. What’s also important for me as a client, is Mandy’s unfailing attention to detail, pace and follow through. She keeps me posted always on progress and roadblocks. I unhesitatingly recommend her as a great business partner.”
— Victoria Stuart – HR Director, UK & Ireland BAXI

“I’m really pleased we chose Mandy Turpin at Teare Executive Search for this executive search assignment. A very wide ranging and thorough search provided us with a good mix of candidates to interview at shortlist, and Mandy’s passion for our business ensured those we met were suitably motivated to talk to us. Most importantly, Mandy got to know our chosen candidate well, and was thus able to ensure the offer process went smoothly, whilst providing a regular touch point during the long notice period. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and we have secured a top-class individual for our senior team. I would highly recommend Teare Executive Search and Mandy for their professional approach, their tenacious headhunting activity, and the ability to promote us successfully to potential candidates.”
— Adam Turk – Chief Executive Officer, Siderise Group Limited

“As CEO, I worked with Mandy over a few years to bring high performing board talent into the UK business. Mandy supported over 20 senior appointments across a wide range of functions to include operations, HR, sales, technology, marketing, and product. Mandy had a deep understanding of our culture, from an operational and fit perspective to working in partnership developing the job requirements and candidate brief. Mandy consistently developed a short list of quality candidates and keeping us informed of the process along the way. The candidates we interviewed spoke highly about their recruitment experience. Mandy was a great strategic partner to the business.”
— Michel Buxton, ex-President of International, Cox Automotive

“Mandy acts as a true talent partner in the search process maintaining confidentiality and challenging appropriately. She genuinely works hard to understand the brief so that she successfully represents the business and the potential opportunity in an honest, constructive, and transparent way; she always drives a search with real pace and enthusiasm. When proposing candidates Mandy doesn’t just ‘sell’ them to you; her honesty and constructive approach mean that you get a very balanced view of an individual and I think this leads to a more successful process for everyone involved.”
— Sally Cabrini, ex-Director of Transformation, IT & People, Interserve

“I have known Mandy professionally for nearly 10 years.
During that time, I have worked with her both in terms of executive search assignments as a client and as a candidate from a personal point of view. I have always found Mandy to have excellent business acumen which enables her to understand the business of a client very accurately and therefore translate that into the needs of the business in terms of a candidate search. Mandy has a very honest, open approach so that you are always fully aware of any challenges that may occur during the search process. Another key strength of Mandy is her interpersonal skills, she has high EQ and therefore she can determine the right fit for an organization in terms of a candidate and also vice versa. Mandy’s strong communication skills means that she has a very broad and deep network of candidates across several business sectors. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mandy to you, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her in the past.”
— Clare Roberts, HR Director, Asia Pacific (Southco Ltd)

Mandy takes the time to really understand the brief and provides useful insights and appropriate challenge.

Having been a contractor on and off over the last 17 years, I’ve had a diverse variety of experiences with recruitment firms during that time. I can honestly say that the whole end-to-end experience I’ve had with Mandy and her team has been of the highest quality. From the very start, it was obvious that Mandy had taken the time and effort to align my skills and background with the requirements of the client and throughout the process, I was kept informed of progress and received complete and meaningful feedback - a rare experience in the world of recruitment firms. My experience with the Teare Executive Search team has been extraordinary and if it wasn’t for the fact that I am exceptionally happy in my new role, I’d be looking forward to my next experience of using their services!

Candidates

 
Working with Mandy and the team has been an absolute pleasure. I was a candidate identified during the early stages of a placement at a Global organisation and throughout the whole process, the team were thorough and personable. It was very clear from first contact that Mandy knew the company profile, needs and culture well and was able to steer me accordingly. The quality, attentiveness and contact were excellent. I felt prepared at each stage of the process with feedback clear, concise and transparent. The pre-interview preparation and screening alone was as good as I have known. Not afraid to challenge thinking or ask difficult questions, the team strike the perfect balance in representing their client but finding the right fit with candidates. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience of working with the team - Teare Executive Search are exceptional as an organisation. Highly recommended!
— Gavin Rees, Chief Operating Officer, Siderise Insulation Limited

“I have worked with Mandy as a candidate twice over the past 6 years when she placed me as the Sales Director with De’Longhi Group and latterly Group Commercial Director for Baxi UK. In my experience Mandy develops an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the client’s culture and the key skill sets and behaviours required to succeed within the organisation. As a candidate you want to know if the role is the correct fit for you and potential challenges you might face, or skill sets that need developing. I have found Mandy professional and refreshingly honest in her approach when placing me in the last two positions. She invests a large amount of time pre-interview understanding drivers, motivations and skill set to ensure both candidate and client end up with the correct result.”
— Nick Wilson, UK Managing Director, Rockwool Limited

“As a candidate I found Mandy personable and honest. I always felt like she had my best interests at heart; making the right match for me was of paramount importance to her. Mandy put me at ease from the first time we spoke and throughout the recruitment process I was never unsure of where we were up to or of what was happening. As an experience it was exemplary and has continued to be the benchmark for other recruiters I have encountered since. I have remained in contact with Mandy ever since and looked to work with her where circumstances allowed; I value her amazing knowledge of the market as well as her integrity in providing reliable counsel to me.”
— Carolyn Hobdey, ex HR Director, Serverfield and IPL

“I have known Mandy for several years now and she is my “go-to” person whenever I’m in the market for a new role. Mandy placed me in my last role which really helped to broaden out my experience and has now been instrumental helping me secure my next role. Mandy takes time to understand you as a candidate, not just your skills and experience but also what drives and motivates you so she can ensure the right fit for a potential business. She’s not afraid to challenge your thinking but
understands the importance of long-term relationships so you can trust her not to push a role that isn’t right. Mandy brings a great network and will be pro-active in her approach with clients where she sees a potential match. In my experience, she always goes above and beyond to get you in the right role, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
