Testimonials

I would heartily recommend Gareth as a recruiter as he ticks the boxes most other recruiters fail to achieve. He is consistently helpful and involved and always made an effort to go the extra mile to keep me up to date as a candidate, and informed around opportunities that I should be targeting. I've never had to wait for a return call and have even had emails whilst Gareth has been on holiday, ensuring that I am being supported either directly or by a member of his team."Andy Dunbar, placed as Head of Project Management at AKQA Berlin February 2012

I met Gareth over 4 years ago now. As I was just starting out in the digital industry at that time, Gareth gave valuable insights of the industry and recommendations specifically tailored for my personal qualities and professional goals. He very quickly earnt my professional trust and respect through his holistic approach to matching me with the correct role and employer. Gareth was responsible for securing my previous role at Dare and also my current role at AKQA. Throughout the process on both occasions Gareth was fully supportive. His knowledge of both organisations was detailed and honest. His commitment to making sure I achieved my professional goals of securing the right role with the right company was exceptional. This commitment to my professional development still continues today. I feel very fortunate to have found The Blueprint as I have not only found a recruiter that knows and understands my professional needs but I also feel that in Gareth I have a professional mentor to assist on shaping my future path. For this I am grateful and am very pleased to be able to endorse him." Hayley Farr, placed as Project Manager at Dare and AKQA January 2012

Gareth is a consummate professional and true gentleman. People forget that the advertising and recruitment industries are people focused. Gareth never forgets this. What I like best about working with Gareth is that while he is calm and considered, he is also incredibly focused. A pleasure to work with, whatever frame of mind I may be in. Like all good film reviews; 'if there's one guy you should see, it's this one'." Phil Jackson, placed as Planning Partner at McCann Erickson April 2011

Gareth and the team are brilliant. I couldn't have wished for better representation. Gareth skillfully balanced the sensitivities of challenging situations and always prioritised my interests. I would recommend The Blueprint to anyone who asks.” Sophie Maxwell, placed as Programme Director at AKQA March 2011

As a freelancer I have worked with Gareth for several years when looking for new contracts. He’s great at what he does and approaches his work with honesty and integrity. He’s very good at listening to people and has the ability to really get to the bottom of what a job requires.” Niaomh Walsh, placed as Senior Producer at Wunderman and R/GA March 2011

The quickest and easiest job hunt I've ever had. Gareth was brilliant at placing me at my agency, very professional and friendly at all stages. Listened to what I wanted and didn't put me forward for jobs that weren't exactly what I wanted. Great negotiator too when the offer came in! Thanks very much - I'm still there two years on!"Lydia Jones, placed as Planner at Dare August 2010

A breath of fresh air in the recruitment industry! I met Gareth when leaving my contract at Glue London - he tracked me down on LinkedIn. I get a great deal of interest from recruiters in this way, but he quickly cut through the noise. It was clear from speaking with him that he clearly had his finger on the pulse of the digital industry. As a small outfit, you get a much more personal and tailored service. I highly recommend The Blueprint and Gareth."Graeme Binnington, placed as Senior Digital Producer at AMV BBDO August 2010

Having joined AKQA, I've had the pleasure of working with The Blueprint on this side of the fence, and once again the understanding of the brief and type of person we were looking for was second to none. The Blueprint don't just answer the brief, they help you define it, which is something pretty special. We've been spoilt for choice with the candidates we've been sent, and are in the process of making that final decision. The Blueprint is a bespoke, caring and highly professional outfit that really take the time to understand what you're looking for, whether it's a new role or a new team member. I cannot recommend them highly enough as your recruitment partner, or if you're looking for your next important career move."Muna Nageh, placed as Senior Account Director at AKQA June 2010

Gareth helped me find my dream job at the right time and handled the negotiations with professionalism and a very positive attitude. I would be very happy to work with Gareth again."Susanne Feldthusen, placed as Programme Director at GlueIsobar May 2010
