Sacco Mann has been instrumental in the development of our offices in Bradford and Leeds. They have always displayed the highest standards of professionalism, integrity and a capacity to understand what we are trying to achieve.
Chris Schofield (Senior Partner)

Schofield Sweeney

I have always been impressed by their conscientious and intelligent approach to the recruitment process. They have the ability to quickly understand our business needs and requirements; then they work hard to find the right people to fill them; the great thing is they only put forward candidates that potentially fulfill these needs. Sacco Mann takes away the effort and time we would otherwise spend in filtering candidates. They have a straightforward, no nonsense and ethical approach and I am always happy when they are working on our recruitment.

A recruitment consultant has a difficult path to tread in working both for the employer who will be paying for the service and the candidate who is placing their future career in the consultant’s hands. Having been both employer and candidate I can say that Sacco Mann guides the process professionally and skilfully and often with an excellent outcome.

The consultant takes the time to listen and understand, he then utilises that information intelligently to ensure accurate matching of candidates to our requirements. He works well with us and has excellent knowledge of the market and is willing to go the extra mile. We trust his judgment.

Denton Wilde Sapte

We have worked with Sacco Mann for about 5 years. They have always provided excellent client care even when our demands have been high. We feel that they give us honesty and have taken the time to find out about Knight & Sons to ensure that they only refer candidates that will fit into our firm. In an over crowded recruitment market it is reassuring to find an agency that values it's clients and provides a personal (and personable) service...

Sacco Mann has an excellent approach to meeting recruitment needs. They look at candidates as individuals and fit them to a team in terms of personality and skills as well as technical knowledge. They are exceptionally good at understanding how a team is being built and helping with that process in the broadest sense. The fact that they build long-term relationships is one of the important factors in this.

Rachael Tunnicliffe (Private Client Partner)

Gordons

As Head of a multi-teamed Department, I instruct Sacco Mann when I need to recruit externally because they have consistently proven to be approachable, efficient and attentive to detail. The consultant is interested in the work we do and the personalities of the people that do it and she understands the high standards we require. She is pragmatic and honest – if she doesn’t have a candidate of the calibre we are looking for, she’ll suggest ways of working with me to find the right person. She never inundates me with unsuitable CV’s and provides excellent background information about potential candidates so that recruitment can be dealt with efficiently.

Jane Wright (Head of Personal Injury Leeds)

Irwin Mitchell

Sacco Mann has frequently offered me helpful and generous advice on positions I have thought of filling and goes out of his way to create imaginative possibilities for his candidates and clients.

Mark Serby (Head of Commercial Litigation) Wake Smith

From the very first moment that I made contact, we found the service from you to be highly professional, extremely competent and most importantly, that you actually listened to our requirements and made practical, constructive comment thereon. Considering that we were recruitment agency ‘virgins’ we would certainly use your services again should the need arise.
Richard Roberts (Partner)
Gedye & Sons

I am pleased to recommend Sacco Mann to anyone considering using their services. I have dealt with them for many years, originally when I managed the CGU legal department and now in my current position. They make great efforts to understand our requirements so that they may recommend suitable candidates. I think it is because of this open and candid relationship that their candidates have enjoyed a disproportionately high rate of success (compared with other agents) in their applications to us, and gone on to prosper in our employment.
Donald Graham (Commercial Director – Capital and Corporate Services)
Norwich Union Life

Having been asked by Sacco Mann I am delighted to provide a reference on their behalf. As I have been with my current employer, Your Move, for only a short time I am writing this in a personal capacity.

I first got in contact with Sacco Mann in 1998 (six years ago) when I qualified. Sacco Mann placed me with Yorkshire Water Plc and I moved from Cardiff to Yorkshire. I approached them to help me find a new position and I was immediately impressed with their professionalism and attitude.

Since then I have kept in touch with Sacco Mann both as a candidate and more recently as a client. In addition I am the Secretary and National Representative of the North East C&I Group and I am also Communications Director for the National C&I Group. Sacco Mann has since the relaunch of the NE Group in 1998 support the groups activities, and for the last four years sponsored our annual dinner.

Sacco Mann has taken the time and trouble to understand my specific requirements and have always acted with those requirements in mind. Where other agencies have thought they know best Sacco Mann have listened and whilst they have provided essential, informative information they have also valued my opinion.

My dealings with Sacco Mann have been open, honest and straightforward. They offer support and guidance both from the client and candidate perspective and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a long term relationship with a recruitment consultancy that can offer added value.

Sapna Bedi (Head of Legal)
Your Move

The consultant takes the time to understand the brief. He never wastes your time as he only puts forward interesting and good candidates. He is there for the long haul so won't muck you around. Good to do business with.

Mike Bracegirdle (Senior Partner)

Recruitment Agents who are prepared to listen and understand our business needs and act responsibly and responsively are worth their weight in gold. As the Director of HR for Hewitsons, I have worked with Sacco Mann over a number of years. Sacco Mann demonstrates an approach to recruitment which is highly successful because it is swift, professional, discreet and honest and the consultant operates in a manner which is entirely consistent with that. The key to their success is their ability to take ownership of the project, working with me and with the candidates. As Agents, they stand out from the crowd and, in a dynamic competitive environment, that's saying alot!

Caroline Lewis (Director of HR)
Hewitsons

I have dealt with Sacco Mann for many years and have always been impressed by their consistently high level of service. In particular, the consultant works hard to understand our needs and is quick to respond to them, either with excellent candidates, or in more difficult areas, alternative ideas. In a competitive market her professionalism and integrity stand out, making the recruitment process considerably easier than it might otherwise be.

Tracy Foley (Training and Recruitment Manager)
Walker Morris

I have always found that Sacco Mann send us candidates of the highest quality. They take the time to understand our firm's requirements and only presents potential candidates who will not only meet the technical requirements of the role but also are likely to fit within our team ethic. I always let Sacco Mann know when we have a vacancy.

James Dale (Head of Commercial Property)
Lee & Priestley

We have always found, over more than 12 years of dealing with Sacco Mann, that they always take pains to match the right candidates to our firm. This has merant that we have confidence that their candidates are worth considering when they are put forward and that after the appointment, the 'stick' - even after the guarantee period! Some have been with us now for up to 10 years.
