Head of Facilities EMEA

I’ve been working with Dan across different businesses and roles for nearly 10 years now, both as a gateway to hiring talent and to represent me personally in my own job search. The guys at Radar take time to understand your needs, listen to your views and opinions and aim to deliver what you want/need rather than assuming they already know. Highly recommend!

Head of Engineering and Facilities EMEA - Global FMCG Business

It was a genuine pleasure working with Dan during my recent job search. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail really stood out - often replying in what felt like real time, which took a huge amount of pressure out of the interview process. Dan brings a friendly, approachable style alongside a very high standard of service, which is exactly what you want when navigating a career move. I’d highly recommend Dan and Radar Recruitment - professional, supportive, and refreshingly personal. 

 

Head of Health and Safety EMEA - Global FMCG Business

Dan is a true expert in this field. Extremely professional, curious and supportive in the whole process from start to finish. Great communicator, which made the recruitment process very sleek and transparent. I would definitely recommend Dan to any business seeking new talent and to any professional looking for a fresh start and opportunity. Rest assured, you are in good hands.

Group OPEX Manager - Food Manufacturing Business

As far as recruiters go Daniel is excellent. He found me my latest position as Operational Excellence Leader and I had a very good experience. He takes the time to understand candidates to see what motivates them and a real strength is ensuring candidate's expectations align with the expectations of the advertised role. Daniel is extremely personable; always understands where you are in the interview process and keeps you well informed. I feel more of a person as opposed to a candidate number which you can feel with other recruiters. I have no hesitation in recommending Daniel at Radar.

Programme Manager - Pharmaceutical Business

Martin was fantastic from start to finish in helping me secure a job. He was in contact regularly and kept me up to date with the progress of my application. He also provided valuable assistance in helping me to prepare for interviews. Thank you Martin for all your help!

HSE Manager - Manufacturing Business

I recently worked with Martin whilst trying to acquire a UK based professional Health and Safety Role. Martin was excellent to deal with and provided me with a lot of insight into UK based roles, as I had recently relocated from Australia. He understood the level of role and type of Organisation that I would be interested in and presented me only with roles which suited by skills and experience. During the successful placement in a role, Martin provided great advice and support and has continued to follow up ensuing that the role, organisation and I are a great match.

I would highly encourage anyone looking to recruit or looking to secure a new position to contact Martin.

Head of Health and Safety - Food Manufacturing business

Daniel was instrumental in helping me progress to the next level in my career. During the entire recruitment process, I found Daniel to be extremely professional and proactive. He met me in person, tried to understand my experience and fit for the job. He also helped me get mentally prepared for the interview. As a job seeker he made the recruitment process less daunting. I would happily seek out Daniel should I ever have a need to recruit a candidate and it is my utmost pleasure to be recommending him.

Daniel is a highly professional senior recruitment specialist, and with Daniel's kind help, my career has been successfully advanced to the next level.

Operations Director - Food Manufacturing business

I recently had the pleasure of working with Daniel to secure my newest position.
I was impressed how from the start Daniel made sure the role was both fitting for myself as well as the company.
Throughout the process I had great communication from Daniel and even met me pre interview to make sure I was prepared.
I do not see myself moving from this company now as it is such a great fit but hope to work with Daniel in the future when I need support recruiting.

Operations and Finance Director - Manufacturing Business

Daniel helped us in sourcing a new finance manager, a role we'd never had here before. All possible candidates were great and by following Daniel's advice, we were able to fill the role with a great candidate. Thanks for all of your help Dan!

Technical Manager - Food Manufacturing business

Daniel was a great support with my career move, he helped me find a perfect position back in the United Kingdom after spending 7 years working in Asia. He constantly keep me informed on the recruitment process, guided me on expectations and provided helpful feedback.

Daniel is a smart, personable chap who is good to talk with and nice to meet, he made the recruitment process smooth and painless.

NPD Manager - Food Manufacturing business

It was an absolute privilege to work with Daniel, who helped me find my dream job when I moved to the UK. His professionalism, experience and knowledge of the food industry is exceptional, and I knew as soon as I met him my career was in great hands.
Most importantly, Daniel genuinely cared about me and had my best interests at heart during the whole process. You're a top bloke Dan, can't thank you enough!!

Finance Director - Leading Care Company

I worked with Dan when I needed to replace a key member of staff in my Finance Team. I wanted to progress quickly so that there could be a handover. Dan assured me that he had some good people in mind and so I went with it and Dan was true to his word and came up with 5 or 6 candidates most of whom were very appointable. We worked closely together and Dan arranged initial discussions and then follow up interviews - this all went smoothly and I am really pleased with the outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending Dan - he is very personable, followed through on his promises and stayed in touch to make sure everything went as planned. I hope I don't need him again too soon, but he would definitely be my choice of recruitment consultant for my Finance Team in the future.
