WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"We contacted ATA Search to assist us with the recruitment of several General Manager roles across the UK. These roles are critical to the success of our business and are highly autonomous.
We have an objective to improve our diversity in senior manager roles, with a specific focus on increasing the number of women globally in top management. It was important that our recruitment partner was able to work with us in this regard for the vacant General Manager positions. ATA Search was both professional and enthusiastic throughout the process. They took time to understand the roles and the range of skills and experience we were looking for. They kept us up to date with his retained search progress and took the time to discuss potential candidates in detail ahead of scheduling interviews and remained engaged with candidates both up to and following their start dates.
ATA Search succeeded in placing three candidates into senior roles, including two female candidates. We are currently working with ATA Search on some marketing collateral to further assist our diversity ambitions."
