“Almost invariably when it comes to paying a recruitment consultant’s bill I always feel slightly aggrieved and not convinced I have got value for money. Working with FryerMiles has been a rare experience where I felt Leo has really gone the extra mile and earned every bit of it. Usual I am on guard, ready for the hard sell on a candidate that I know is not quite right – with Leo he was genuinely interested in getting not just ‘a candidate’ but showed real determination to find right candidate. In some cases ruling out credible candidates he wasn’t certain were quite the right fit before I had a chance to myself. He superbly balances professionalism with humour ensuring you always come off the phone confident you are in good hands and with a smile on your face. Well done guys – it’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Giles – Managing Director
“Leo is a highly recommended finance recruiter. He has always demonstrated a professional approach throughout the recruitment process. Communication from initial discussion through interview & acceptance had been excellent, open and honest. Leo had also been in touch to ensure things are alright after placement. I have no hesitation in recommending Leo.”
Cheryl – Senior Finance Manager (Project and Control)
“I’ve worked with FryerMiles as both a recruiter and as a candidate. Under both guises their approach and quality of service has been second to none. They always take time to understand the type of role I am recruiting for and ensure that the candidates have a good appreciation of the role and the company. As a candidate, FryerMiles took time to ensure I was prepared for interviews and gave me the best chance possible. Having seen them from both sides of the fence I can confidently say FryerMiles provide a fantastic all round service.”

Zenobia – Financial Controller
“Leo is one of many recruiters we partner with at Mavenir but he stands out due to his personable nature and the fact he knows his candidates extremely well, not only from a skills perspective but their personality and as such cultural fit. His ability to source and shortlist candidates for us, despite our specific requirements is testament to his recruitment experience. Leo has also helped us with ad-hoc requests and insights into the market, as and when we have needed and is always very responsive. He clearly knows his market and his partnership approach is vital in our business.”

Matching clients and candidates is a real skill especially in more senior roles and FryerMiles delivered again.”

Gita – Finance Assistant
“It’s rare to develop a strong working relationship so quickly, one involving trust and responsibility. I am very fortunate to have worked with FryerMiles who are passionate, reassuring and generally lovely people to speak to. The entire process was smooth and well organised, straight forward registration process covering all areas necessary to ensure that they would place me in the correct role. Working around my current hours, they were aware that meeting in person would be difficult due to quarter end commitments, so they scheduled a skype call so that we could meet officially. They believed in me and recognised qualities that I did not know I possessed. I feel far more confident and passionate about my future opportunities in the incredible role that they found for me. It would be an absolute pleasure to refer friends and colleagues to FryerMiles in the future.”
Michelle – Financial Analyst
“FryerMiles is one of the best recruiters I’ve ever met. They are really friendly, motivated and efficient. They tailored the job really well for me, even laid out the pros and cons before the interview. I was even more impressed with their company website. Basically it guides you step by step for your interview preparation. They always kept me updated during each stage of the job hunt. As a job hunter, what more do you need!”
Sophia – Management Accountant

Thank you so much to you and Leo for your help and support!”

Rishayal – Group Accountant
“Dedicated. Professional. Honest. Personable. Laura understood not just the technical requirements of the role, but if not more importantly, the company ethos, team dynamics and personality traits required to be a success at the company. Ultimately it isn’t just about what is written on a CV, but about the individual person and will they fit in. Laura took a lot of time to understand those requirements and ensured she only submitted CVs she was proud to put her name to. A dream and an enjoyment to work with.”

If I need either to look for a new role or hire staff in the future, Leo and FryerMiles will be my first point of call.”

“A massive thank you to Laura for all the support I was given throughout the whole recruitment process. It’s been a real pleasure to work with her. Laura was very thorough and committed to finding the perfect role for me.
Really refreshing experience after dealing with a few other agencies. I would not hesitate to go back to FryerMiles again in the future.”Magda – Assistant Accountant
“After experiencing difficulties with past recruiter companies, FryerMiles were honestly a breath of fresh air when I decided to relocate. The entire process was seamless from start to finish and any questions raised they were promptly responded to. Laura honestly went above and beyond and really listened to what I wanted to further enhance my career rather than just try and pass me any old job. I am now working for a company which I really enjoy with fantastic career opportunities. Thank you all to the FryerMiles Team.”
Hollie – Accounts Assistant
“I would just like to thank Laura for all of her help throughout my recruitment process. I was kept informed and supported the whole time. I am a natural born worrier and lack interview experience, so had numerous questions which Laura was always able to answer expertly. It was also nice to work with somebody with such great interpersonal skills. Laura was transparent, understanding and friendly the whole time. If you are looking for a career change then I cannot recommend Laura enough. “
Daniel – Cost Accountant
“Leo is an accomplished recruiter who understands the market really well and uses his experience to be proactive in securing your next new role. He provides great counsel when discussing requirements and acts with a high level of integrity. In the market of recruiters I trust Leo to act on my behalf as I know he will be professional, honest and efficient. He is also a great guy!”
Andrew – Commercial Finance Manager
“Leo is very professional and at the same time friendly and easy to talk to. He knows my skills set and understand my requirements and only sends me roles that are relevant. He placed me in my recent contract at DeLaRue and during the recruitment process he kept me informed of the progress as the vetting process in DeLaRue is rather long. During the assignment he kept in touch to make sure everything was going okay. Leo went well above his call of duty when I had a family emergency in Kenya. He called me to make sure I was okay and when I got back home, FryerMiles sent me beautiful flowers. I have enjoyed working with Leo.”
