I am very happy to endorse Paul Card Recruitment. I worked with them for the first time a few months back when looking for a new Finance Manager. I found the people to be interested in what we were looking for, interested in our company, keen to get a good understanding of our needs, comfortable in giving us feedback about what was feasible and what was unrealistic! They listened and gave valuable guidance – all of which resulted in some great candidates and the person we eventually employed who is turning out to be excellent! So if you are looking for a recruitment firm to help you, I am very happy to recommend them

Robyn was really nice to work with, very warm and kept me in the loop at all times. I would highly recommend working with her and with Paul Card Recruitment.

Professional, excellent support and career guidance, and excellent communication. Thank you for helping me to secure an amazing opportunity!

We’ve worked with Paul Card Recruitment for a number of years, and most recently, they supported us with two key appointments. These were not only critical operational roles but also senior leadership positions, making cultural fit and leadership capability absolutely vital. What has always stood out about Paul Card Recruitment is the time they invest in truly understanding our business. They take the effort to get under the skin of our organisation. They focus on finding people who will genuinely thrive within our team and contribute to our long-term success. Working with Paul Card Recruitment felt like working with an extension of our own internal team. They were collaborative, professional, and truly invested in the outcome - the definition of a trusted recruitment partner.

Robyn was a huge help with securing me a very prestigious role with an exciting up-and-coming business. She presented the role itself very well, gave clear communication and feedback throughout the process and negotiated to get me the compensation package I wanted. Highly recommended!

Through a quirk of fate and timing I actually needed to recruit two Head of Finance positions for two separate businesses all within the space of around two months. As you can probably imagine, keeping both briefs individual wasn’t an easy process but Robyn showed exceptional professionalism and a superb commitment to her craft to fulfil both positions. What impressed me most was how Robyn and the Paul Card business took all the hassle away from the recruiting process. Everything they did, they did well and with a smile. There are many recruiters out there … and then there’s Robyn & Paul Card Recruitment!

We have used Paul Card Recruitment on a number of occasions most recently for the recruitment of a new head of finance for the firm. We have always found the services of Paul and his firm to be excellent. He has advised us on selection criteria, the market and shortlisted candidates for us. We were really impressed with the quality of the candidates and have been delighted with the candidate we selected who is now our Head of Finance. The appointment has made a massive difference to us in terms of financial reporting, management of our cash flow and departmental forecasting information so such an extent that we invited Amie to become a partner of the firm. We would not hesitate to recommend their services for your next key financial appointment.

Paul has an excellent knowledge of the regional market for financial recruitment. He has taken a detailed and continued interest in our company, and watched us grow in size and stature over the years. I will certainly use Paul in the future when a requirement for new staff in the Finance department arises.

If you've ever worked in recruitment you'll know that the profession has a bad name, sometimes justifiably! So there are good recruiters and there are bad recruiters. Paul sits in another category ... the exceptional recruiter! What truly sets Paul apart is that he'll openly say 'no'. If he isn't the right person to help you he'll pass you the details of someone who can. If he can't do something he admits it and defers to someone who can. In the world of "well we'll have a go and see if we can do it" isn't it refreshing to find someone who would rather say, "I'm not the man for that".
