TESTIMONIALS

Head of Talent Acquisition

RCQ seem to understand exactly the type of candidate profile that will be successful for us, and have an excellent network… we have a relationship where we know we can trust RCQ to deliver on just about any role thrown at them, and they will represent us in a manner that supports the company brand that we strives to maintain… the team at RCQ are easy to work with; they possess a level of maturity, which is not always evident at other firms. This makes partnering with them easy & painless… I feel it’s fair to say they are a leader in the credit field.

Why do we use RCQ? They deliver every time with great candidates and provide us with guidance at any time we encounter challenges finding that perfect fit. We rarely (if ever) consider using anyone else.

I have worked with several recruiters, and Ted seems to stand out in my mind as to what a true recruiter should be. Kind, understanding, helpful, and diligent, Mr. Matthews really helped me obtain a life changing opportunity.

When I was about to receive the offer we had various open discussions and I really appreciated the approach. He did not push in any way, we just tried to understand together if that could be the best role for me. I would definitely recommend him!

Banks Credit Ratings Associate Director

Denys is one of the most helpful and professional recruiters and consultants I have met and worked with. He helped me get a life-changing opportunity. He always communicated promptly and honestly, was easy to understand, and flexible. Along the way in each step of the hiring process, Denys was keen to help and gave important perspectives and advice that very much helped me successfully obtain this job.

Corporate Credit Associate Director

My experience with Edward is a really good one. Professional, yet also friendly and interested in finding what is a good match for both parties. He gave good practical advice during the process which made my move so much easier and I knew what to expect from the change of country. He was at all times well informed and made sure I was knew where we were in the process.

Corporate Credit Analyst

Amelia found my profile on Linkedin for a job opportunity in a credit analyst role. She showed great enthusiasm with supporting me throughout the whole application process by providing career and industry insights in high specificity. Now, I have been offered an opportunity in a new country and in a new workplace. I will start my new journey in both my career and my life, and it is only made possible with Amelia's prompt and professional help.

Senior ESG Analyst

Professional, efficient, and the most friendly recruiter I’ve met! Was such a great experience working with Denys

Senior ESG Analyst

Head of Risk

Normal recruitment policies tend to push us towards the larger ‘universal’ recruitment agencies and sometimes this is fine but for our roles we have found over the years that RCQ as a specialist recruiter has consistently been more useful to us. This is primarily down to Ed and his team’s approach, experience and network. On a personal note I have been recruiting for roles for almost 30 years now and Ed has been one of the best recruiters I have dealt with across that time and I would have no hesitation in recommending RCQ.

Head of Risk

Credit & Market Risk Manager

Ed gets to know you well and offers a very personal service. He understands what you are looking for, gives very good advice and with a strong network of clients he is able to match people with the right role.

Credit & Market Risk Manager

Risk Manager

Ed is the most professional recruiter I have dealt with. He will go the extra mile to ensure his clients only receive applicants who are suitably matched to their requirements and are fully briefed with the clients expectations both for the selection process and for the position. He isn't at all pushy and makes sure he fully understand the roles being presented to this clients and offer good advice throughout the selection process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ed!

Risk Manager

Risk Manager

Personal interaction / interest and attention has made job seeking not quite a pleasure but certainly a process where good customer service survives.

Risk Manager

Head of Operational Risk

Edward is more than a recruiter; he is a career advisor with a great knowledge of the job market which helps each candidate to make the very best decision at each and every level in their career. I recommend him as a person who is honest with great integrity.

Head of Operational Risk

Quantitative Researcher

RCQ found me my previous role at JP Morgan. I recommend working with them as a headhunter… they care about the outcome for the candidate as much as they do about the outcome for the hiring company.

Quantitative Researcher

Strategic Risk Analyst

Competent, insightful and communicative. Denys recruited me for my current position and is one of my team's go-to consultants for external hires. From our first conversation, I was impressed by his understanding of the risk profession, the company's culture and his detailed knowledge of the JD. In addition, Denys helped me navigate the 4-5 interviews of the process and always offered timely and valuable feedback. Denys would be an asset to any recruiting team.

Strategic Risk Analyst

Head of Publishing – Credit Ratings

Greg from RCQ is terrific at what he does. His understanding of his clients is deep. He has a very sophisticated understanding of their needs, and he is very effective at communicating that to prospective employees. I find him to be a skilled recruiter, who is honest and insightful.
