“Adderley Featherstone was initially tasked to find the proverbial needle in a haystack. They found it. Three years later I still use Adderley Featherstone not only for executive recruitment but also for various high level HR projects such as salary surveys and succession planning as well gathering vital specific market sector intelligence. With project specifications and costs agreed in advance supplemented with regular progress reports, I have total confidence knowing that their assigned project is on track and will acheive the desired outcome. Adderley Featherstone's adaptable and responsiveness service allows clients often changing needs to be fully satisfied. I view Adderley Featherstone as an extension to my department whose services I can call upon as and when required to assist me to meet my personal and corporate objectives and would not hesitate recommending them to fellow professional HR Managers and Directors." |
