What they say...

  • “I have known a number of people at Trace for a few years and have seen how they operate in a more personal and targeted way than any other agency. They know their stuff and will tell you how it is. That Is what you want from an agency - honest advice - alongside lots of hard work and bags of industry knowledge. Oh and cracking candidates too!"

  • “Trace and Deniz helped me find an assistant who has been absolutely fantastic. I was impressed with the dedication that went into finding suitable candidates and the very personal service provided, with great communication all round. I would highly recommend Trace to anyone looking to recruit for a finance role"

  • “I was extremely impressed with the service | received from walking into the Trace offices through to being placed in my current role and beyond. I felt like everyone made a huge effort to get to know me and it seemed like I had a whole team working to place me in the perfect role. I appreciate that I still hear from the team from time to time and would recommend Trace to any professional looking for their next role”

  • “Spent 4/5 months looking for the right opportunity, this finally came from Trace & within a month of meeting the team I had two interviews and was offered the role I had been looking for"

  • “We've hired a bunch of people through Trace. Recently we've effectively rehired a whole team, then supplemented as needed on both a perm, FTC and contract basis. Trace took the time to get to know us, understand what we needed and never compromised on this. Very easy to work with, responsive and really listened.”

  • “I have known the Partner for over 10 years. They have assisted with numerous successful finance hires over the years mainly for the UK and some European roles. Hiring a Finance Director for our UK business and subsequent roles within the UK team, Trace provided a professional service with detailed upfront discussions on the candidate profiles required.”

  • “Andy and his team have helped us with a few senior hires this past year, including an FD for one of our branding agencies. Andy understands the culture well, it was challenging due to the CEO being in Sydney, and another leadership team in the UK - and it was their first such major hire, so needed some handholding which the Trace team were very patient with.”
