Testimonials
I have worked with Martina for over 10 years, in both my current and previous roles. It is always a pleasure to work with Martina as she is a dedicated and professional recruitment consultant who works with a very high level of honesty and integrity. When recruiting, Martina is not only an external recruiter, but she also becomes part of your team. This is a trait I especially value about her and I look forward to working with her for years to come.
I have worked with Martina over the last decade when recruiting. When recruiting it is key to me that I have a contact who communicates regularly, understands the job requirements and the culture of the company. This is what I have found while working with Martina. Every time I had a position to fill, the candidates put forward by Martina turned out to be the best for the job. I was particularly impressed by her not swamping me with CVs but only forwarding those of people who were likely to be a good fit. Thank you Martina for making my life so much easier.
I can't speak highly enough of Martina Quinn, we first met roughly 8 years ago and I've had two successful career changes with the support from Martina. She is the first person I would turn to if I am considering a move. Martina is always open, honest, and professional in understanding why you want a change, what type of company you want to be aligned with, and what type of role best fits your experience and future goals.
During the process of finding an industry role in Accounting and Finance having Martina Quinn as my recruiter really put me at ease. She is a well-renowned recruiter in the industry with a wide network of contacts who went above and beyond in helping me secure a job. I’d highly recommend Martina to anyone looking for a role, whether you are starting out or are an experienced hire, her expertise and professionalism is second to none! Thanks for everything Martina.
