take our
word for it
I really enjoyed working with the team and the approach they used. The weekly catch-ups and the way the team presented the data on progress was useful. The strategic input from Andy early in the process was one of the real positives and added a lot of value. The team moved quickly and gave useful guidance on what we could expect from the market – and the person we hired for the role is working out great.
The partnership definitely feels outside the normal recruiter relationship, it’s a really good service. I wouldn’t hesitate to tell people to have a chat with Lead Candidate; they know what they’re doing. Bottom line, I really liked working with the team, the process, updates, and data analysis were all a real positive.

What stands out about working with Lead Candidate is the process and the domain expertise that comes across from the team. They got up to speed on Tobin really quickly and it was clear they understood both the space and what we were looking for.
The process itself is excellent. I appreciated the qualitative insights that came alongside the data. Each week, Tom and Brandon added valuable context from their conversations and it felt like they knew these people and why they were relevant to us.
Another real differentiator is the subscription model, which we love for a bunch of reasons. The predictability from a cashflow perspective is great and it gave us the flexibility we needed for a successful project.

I appreciated the transparency and responsiveness throughout the process, there were frequent check ins to discuss the project and share feedback from the market. There was no bluster, no arrogance, just thoughtful, friendly, and authentic interactions.
The flexible approach to the project was also a real benefit, giving us long term value in the candidates that Lead Candidate brought to us. I love what they’re doing and I think anyone would be lucky to work with them.

Working with Lead Candidate has been a great experience from start to finish. What stood out was their consultative approach, they really took the time in the beginning to understand our unique needs and company culture, which made a big difference in finding the right fit.
Something we really appreciated was how responsive the Talent Partner team was, especially as our needs and priorities changed. They provided clear communication, valuable insights, and constructive challenge throughout.
The quality of the candidates they presented was excellent, and the entire partnership was a productive and enjoyable one. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lead Candidate to any organisation looking for a supportive and collaborative hiring partner.

CEO, CPI
Working with Lead Candidate was a collaborative and professional experience from start to finish. From the get-go, the team demonstrated a strong understanding of our culture, values, and mission, which is incredibly important to us at Phlow. They didn’t just focus on technical skill; they took the time to grasp what kind of person would thrive in our unique environment.
The team was responsive, open to feedback, and never pushy. The weekly update calls and reports made the whole process very organized and broke things down to make it easier for us to make decisions.
Lead Candidate’s approach and genuine interest in helping us find the right person stood out. They lived up to every expectation I had and delivered results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a great partner.
Simon Hickling
VP CDMO Business Development, Phlow
The candidates we had running for the position, particularly up to the finalists, were thoroughly peerless. It actually made for an incredibly difficult decision, but that was a good problem to have.
I even reached out to the candidates we didn’t select to let them know how top notch they were and that we’re going to keep them in mind.

Sr. Manager of QA & Hiring Manager, INCOG BioPharma Services
When we started working with Lead Candidate, their initial approach was so refreshing. They became real partners of CPI and encouraged a collaborative discussion around our current and future talent needs, acting as a sounding board and helping us think differently about our talent strategy.
As true partners, they understood our company culture which was vital as we were looking to hire a Head of People to cultivate and drive that culture across the business. The engagement we had with the open position led to an incredible shortlist of candidates.
We were able to maximise value from our interviews and had many high quality conversations, with the ultimate result being an outstanding appointment. Their insights were invaluable in helping us find the right fit for CPI and I would recommend Lead Candidate in a heartbeat.
Amy Smith
Chief People Officer, CPI
Lead Candidates network of marketing professionals proved invaluable for two reasons. First, it helped me understand the salary and candidate pool specific to the area I needed to hire. Second, their extensive network of professionals led to the right candidate that fit our growing business needs.
They were inquisitive about the project and took the time to understand the needs of both the opportunity and the culture of the company. Their extensive network of contacts was instrumental in making a successful hire.
Lynn Allen
Vice President Business Development, MedPharm Ltd
Lead Candidate has set the standard for all other agencies… I never put my name behind companies and say, ‘you can trust these guys’ but for Lead Candidate, I say that.
I’ve never had a partner that was so willing to be authentic, get down into the mud with us right into the strategy and to figuring things out with us and be willing to be that thought partner and then take strategy into execution.
Courtney Scott
People & Culture Leader
Lead Candidate is unique in many ways – firstly, developing a partnership approach is central to everything they do. They provide a totally unique financial model, and their use of tools and video is exceptional.
Andrew offers a unique set of skills. He is a highly proficient and emotive communicator. He is open to learning and he builds relationships and connections with people easily, which enables him to make people feel comfortable, maintain their interest and keep people informed. He is a pleasure to work with and embodies Lead Candidate’s values.
