“Our firm has recently had the pleasure of working with Saadia Miah of Hedley Scott Recruitment to fill three vacancies within our firm. We had not had cause to recruit staff for over a year and were uncertain as to what to expect in terms of the service and suitability however I can say absolutely that Saadia’s service and the quality of the candidates she put forward were by far the best out of some ten or so firms we had contacted in relation to the vacancies. She in fact filled all three positions! Saadia took the time to understand the requirements of each of the roles and only put forward candidates who met those requirements. She was in frequent contact throughout the interview process and even post-commencement to ensure both the firm and staff were happy. Saadia and Hedley Scott would certainly be our first point of contact for any future requirements.”

“I have been working with Saadia for almost 3 years and she has been a key source for meeting our staffing needs to the point whereby she has quickly become a preferred provider of recruitment services.

A rare quality today amongst others in her industry is that Saadia has made a conscious effort in understanding our firm's culture and understanding our specific requirements of skills and personal attributes of future employees. Importantly Saadia has always ensured that only the most appropriate, quality candidates that fit our needs are put to us for consideration - it is not about making a "quick sale" but about finding a genuine long-term solution for both the candidate and the organisation.

Saadia's professionalism is of the highest standard. Her commitment to the candidates she represents and equally to the organisations she places them in is exceptional. 

Above all, Saadia has proven to be a trustworthy and honest advisor - qualities that are all too often underappreciated today.”
