CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Balmer Executive Search provided great support for us when we needed to fill a senior management post in Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. I don’t think we would have secured the right person without Balmer Executive Search.
Balmer Executive Search couldn’t have been easier to work with. We had a job that wasn’t easy to fill and Gilly took the time to get to know us and what our organisation required. The candidates she supplied were top-notch and we couldn’t be happier with the result!
Gilly was a joy to work with. She understood our brief, our timelines and our expectations. Her knowledge and insight of the market was exceptional and, importantly, delivered. I look forward to working with her in the future.
