What Clients Say About Lauder Beaumont

IBM“As the VP of HR & Learning outsourcing in EMEA I have used Lauder Beaumont Associates to help me find some of the key roles I need to ensure that we deliver the right solutions for our clients. Rob and the team at Lauder Beaumont Associates have been excellent at finding the “hard to get skills” that we need. As compared to other agencies that I work with Lauder Beaumont Associates has…

  • listened well to our specifications
  • has found a good slate of candidates, even for the toughest challenges
  • has worked as a team with IBM to make sure the candidate understands the role and the team they will be coming into
  • has managed communications well on all sides
  • has taken time to really understand the IBM team, organisation and structure, so they can position the role correctly the first time to potential candidates

And more important we have gotten results and the Lauder Beaumont team are easy to work with.”

Mary Sue Rogers, VP of HR and Learning Outsourcing for IBM EMEA

Sun Microsystems“I was trying to hire Senior Data Center Sales Consultants against a very tight brief, which made these individuals extremely difficult to find and attract. A key part of the brief was that I needed candidates based in mainland Europe rather than the UK to service client demand in this region. Sun had previously enlisted the services of a well known headhunting brand to source candidates with limited success. Working with Rob at Lauder Beaumont Associates was a different experience and I could tell that Rob really understood the brief as a result of taking the time to actually listen to what I needed. Rob identified a suitable and interested candidate within a matter of days who was ideally located in the Netherlands – something that was previously not accomplished. If you are looking to employ difficult to obtain talent in the UK or Europe, I would have no hesitation in recommending Rob.”

Grant Cooper Sun Microsystems, Head of Data Centre Efficiency EMEA and APAC

Beckers“I had been looking for a Sales Director for our industrial coatings business, for some months, with no success. On a personal recommendation, I met with Rob from Lauder Beaumont Associates.

Despite operating in a completely new market sector, Rob was able to successfully find suitable candidates, from whom I chose my Sales Director. More than this, I was most impressed with how Rob conducted himself throughout the process. The key points that made Lauder Beaumont Associates stand out for me were:

  • The careful attention paid to selecting candidates who properly fitted the brief provided
  • The excellent communication and management of expectations
  • The honesty

Not only do I recommend Lauder Beaumont Associates to people that I know, I have recommended to Rob that he should consider looking at market segments that he has not previously considered.”

Jonathan Robson, Managing Director – Becker Acroma Limited

Sunguard“Lauder Beaumont Associates provide more than just a professional recruitment service. I choose to rely on their knowledge and experience to reduce the time taken when searching for new members of staff and more importantly, I know that when they submit a CV it has already been through the first interview stage!

When I was asked to rebuild the new business sales team I decided I needed to work with a specialist organisation, themselves made up of professionals who I would want working for me. Such an attribute, in my experience, is a definite unique selling point. Lauder Beaumont Associates understand the issues I face because they have actually fulfilled similar roles themselves. This understanding has directly led to my new team achieving early success and moving on to hitting their annual targets.

Finally, there is a cost associated with recruitment; false economy and short-cuts may reduce initial outgoings however when the new joiner success rate is paired with business achieved, there is no doubt Lauder Beaumont Associates are in a league of one. I would not hesitate to recommend them.”

Brady K. Davis, New Business Sales Manager, SunGard Availability Services (UK) Limited

Logica“We have an excellent history of working with Rob Andrews to find senior BPO leaders across Europe. Rob is quickly able to understand our challenges and our business environment, and this in turn means that he is a very efficient and effective headhunter to work with. I also find Rob very good at developing relationships with the candidates, and maintaining these relationships throughout the recruitment process. Thirdly, Rob is very good in the advice he gives me on what the candidate is thinking, and on how to close the deals.”

Chris Sutton, Managing Director, Global Business Process Outsourcing, Logica
