Group Managing Director
“I have dealt with many recruitment companies in the past but The Hill Group approach to finding the right candidate was the best experience I have had. They took the time to understand exactly what we required as well as the company ethos and culture, which resulted in several high-quality candidates being put forward for the role who were all well matched to our company culture and specific job requirements, which resulted in the perfect hire for us.
I would definitely use The Hill Group in the future and would strongly recommend them to any business searching for the right candidate.”
– Chris Smith, Group Managing Director – Texo
Head of Global Operations
“What impressed me most about Sandra, compared to other recruiters, is that she really works hard and spends time getting to know you, not just professionally but also about you as a person. I’m sure she does this with the recruiting company also. This makes sure that the right candidate is matched with the opportunity, a win-win for all sides. I would recommend Sandra to any recruiter and any candidate”
– Kevin Maher, Head of Global Operations – Lego
General Manager
“It was a pleasure working with Sandra throughout a lengthy process. She was always available to offer excellent advice and guidance. She had in-depth knowledge of the industry, and I received honest and clear information about the prospective firm and the work I would be undertaking. After working with Sandra, I went on to become a client of hers, and she helped me place a fantastic person to join my team. Her insight into both the candidate market and the hiring process was invaluable. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Sandra or her associates in the future if I’m looking for further career opportunities or team members.”
– Alexandra Goldsack, General Manager – Terraplas
CEO
“What distinguishes The Hill Group from other head-hunters is that Sandra and her team are genuinely passionate, caring, and professional. Sandra takes a lot of time to understand her clients’ needs, the industry that they work in, and the culture of the company. I know that the same care and attention is provided to the candidates and this results in very clear expectations for all parties. Recently we have had some ambitious recruitment needs and working with Sandra has felt like a partnership and a very positive experience throughout. I could not recommend Hill Group more highly.”
Operations Director - Manufacturing
“Sandra Hill ran, on our behalf, a very successful search for a UK Business Development Manager. The work done by the team was extremely professional with regular reporting on progress. An excellent selection of suitable candidates were presented to us and the position was filled from that selection. Sandra made regular follow-up calls during the employee’s probation period and has stayed in contact since. I have no qualms about recommending Sandra and her team if you are looking for a professional partner to work within your next selection search.”

They really care about both the companies they work with and the people they are placing with them. They are incredibly responsive to not only the needs on both sides, but also the changing situations in the National, European, and Global marketplace. Beyond being a superior team, they are also backed by a strong global network in MRI. 5 stars is simply not enough to rate them with, they are one louder!”
Hr Business Partner - Aerospace
“The Hill Group provided us with support in recruiting for one of our integral roles in our senior management team on site, but also a very influential role across the global company group. Their service was very efficient, timely and managed very closely with the manager and HR team. We found that the Hill Group were very good at establishing the requirements of the role at a very early stage and managed the recruitment process aligned to this. They make the time to understand the company culture and as well as the key requirements for the role. They were flexible in terms of accommodating any requirements we had and communicated clearly with the candidates and the management team. They provided concise and clear reports on the recruitment campaign which was very helpful.”
Senior Finance Manager - Automotive Oem
“The Hill Group has been a great help to me in my recruitment campaign. Their attention to detail, enthusiasm and delivery are outstanding. The Hill Group is also very creative in delivering results and not only recruits personnel but also advises beyond their call of duty, they are great strategists. I have not yet worked with a better recruitment company than The Hill Group, excellent specialist recruiters. I highly recommend them.”
Vice president - aerospace 1st tier supplier
“When I have a senior position to fill, The Hill Group is my first port of call. Their open & honest approach and constructive insights have made them a valuable business asset and a trusted service provider. You may not always initially like what you hear, as The Hill Group genuinely does look at recruitment with your businesses best interests at heart. Because they take time to understand all the factors & shareholders, it isn’t always as you or your managers may initially see things, but you will value it, and you will be better off from taking their advice into serious consideration before making appointments…I would have no concerns whatsoever in directing any business to speak with The Hill Group.”

“The Hill Group are professional recruiters, who are able to quickly get an understanding of the brief and type of person who would fit within your organisation. During the process of recruitment they constantly check on progress and pro-actively give feedback on candidates and those involved in the selection process. The Hill Group has a wide network and a high quality pool of candidates to call on.”
Director of engineering - automotive 1st tier supplier
“They listened in detail to my requirements for personnel and matched candidates well. Unlike most others they found appropriate people rather than people whom had one keyword match on their CV. This all adds up to less wasted time on my part and much better quality people. I found a very high hire rate from people The Hill Group selected for me to interview.”

Head of Operations
“Sandra helped me land my next dream role and was nothing short of excellent. She was not only extremely professional but was also invested personally. Her passion and caring shone through in every aspect and I couldn’t have been happier with the process. She didn’t once try to sell me the role until she was happy I was the perfect fit which was after a 1 hour phone call along with a career assessment. She still did not even explain the opportunity until a further phone call where she wanted to know what I would want. At this point she was completely satisfied the two married up perfectly and she couldn’t have been more right. Due to this approach and process, along with her in-depth understanding of what both parties wanted, the application and interview process was slick and so stream lined it only took a couple of weeks to receive an offer. I would not have even looked for another job if it wasn’t for how Sandra interacted with me and peaked my interest! I would highly recommend Sandra and her business to any company or individual who is looking for a specific opportunity or candidate.”

Business development manager
“Sandra placed me very recently and she handled the whole process very professionally and with a great level of detail and care. While there was quite a lot of front end work, in conjunction with Sandra, required it made sure I was a suitable candidate for the role, the role was correct for myself and I was fully prepared for the interview process.
During my notice period and since I have been placed Sandra has been in regularly contact to make sure everything is well and as promised. From my experience Sandra goes above and beyond others to ensure peace of mind and you are prepared for all outcomes in what can be a stressful time.”
Product manager
“I’ve never known a recruitment company to be so invested and involved in all aspects of the recruitment process. Getting to know me as an individual both professionally and personally to offer me a higher level of service as well as the Employers that Sandra and her team work very closely with. It was also a very thorough/rigorous process, so this helped in the interview part as they already knew a lot about me and vice versa. Post-placement there is also regular follow-up that ensured that things were going as planned and expected. In comparison to other recruitment firms who facilitate companies with prospective employees, The Hill Group take personal interest in ensuring you are taken care of going more than the extra mile.”

“I would highly recommend the Hill Group for the services they provide to both client and candidate.
My experience has only ever been positive. Sandra gave me the brief to the exact client requirements. She was extremely knowledgeable about the client product and services and provided me with a first class preparation to ensure I was fully up to speed with expectations.
Sandra kept in touch on a regular basis throughout the assignment to ensure that the client’s needs were being met and that I was delivering on expectations. I was also given feedback on my delivery of the project.”
