Testimonials

I was recruited to my current role of Sales and Marketing Director by Danny and the Think Selection team, and found the process incredibly supportive. Always available, giving guidance and timely information, but never crowding or intrusive. It was hands-down the best recruitment experience of my career. I used Danny to recruit a new marketing manager a couple of years later and was even more impressed by his ways of working, now experiencing the other side of the coin. We developed the requirements together, I was kept up-to-date with progress, and he offered top quality candidates, resulting in a great fit for the role. Danny developed a deep understanding of our business, which helped in numerous recruitments over the years. I can’t recommend him enough.

Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Vinci Books

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Danny both as a hiring client and, more recently, as a job seeker. In both experiences, he has been the ideal partner. He truly knows the industry.

As a client hiring for a senior position, Danny demonstrated a deep understanding of both the role and my expectations. He identified a strong pool of candidates and then challenged my thinking, ultimately leading to the best hire of my 35-year publishing career.

As a candidate, I experienced Danny’s approach firsthand marked by strong support and honesty. Throughout the process, I felt he was genuinely on my side.

I wholeheartedly recommend Danny and his team.
