Medical Technology is growing at a faster rate than the talent pool available

We have used Collingwood on a number of occasions over the years and have always been impressed with their understanding of our business and our needs. The outcome of that understanding is high quality candidates and ultimately, some excellent, long-term, employees. I can fully recommend them and would not hesitate to use them in the future

Doug is involved with his clients every step of the way. I could of not asked for better support. I would highly recommend working with Doug for all recruitment needs

We have been partnering Collingwood Executive Search for over 6 years and have successfully recruited a UK Managing Director, a UK General Sales Manager, a Global Training Manager and a Regional Sales Director in Spain. They really understand the European Ophthalmic Industry and combined with their focus on understanding our company culture, they have simplified our recruitment process.

We have used Collingwood twice so far and both times have proved successful in identifying a quality recruitment for the role we were looking to fill; a Sales & Marketing Director and a Production Manager. I have no hesitation in recommending Collingwood and would use again.

I have worked with Doug and the team at Collingwood over several years, both as a hiring manager and as a candidate. On both sides of the recruitment process what stands out is the effort that the team put in to understand the business and its culture, find high quality candidates suited to the role, understand their aspirations and work to achieve a strong match. Their approach extends through all aspects of the recruitment process, from role definition through on-boarding and during the initial employment period, and has achieved great results.

Doug is an enthusiastic person who will stretch himself to search the right person for our company and understands the business we are in. He delivers high quality of people within a very short time. He never loses sights our needs. It has always been a pleasure to work with Doug because he meets our expectations. I would recommend Doug to anyone who was serious about finding the right talent for their business.

Collingwood provided professional and personalised support and advice throughout the recruitment process combined with regular and open communication leading to my successful appointment. Collingwood are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend their executive search and recruitment services to other individuals or organisations.

I have worked with a Doug and his team on a number of occasions recruiting diverse Board level positions.

Doug ensures he understands his clients business and their specific needs and ultimately delivers on the brief, even when changes are needed.

He has helped me bring talent into our business that will help us step up for our next period of growth. Little wonder that repeat business is a huge part of his success. As a person he is incredibly humble and open which are traits that serve him well.

I've worked with Doug and his team at Collingwood with two organisations now and I have to say the quality and delivery of the programmes was excellent. He really listened to what we needed and completely understood what we were looking to achieve. He and the team were able to deliver a bespoke programme that not only delivered results but also within our budget.

The programmes themselves were transformational, which is why I went to Collingwood again when I moved rolls. Personally I got a lot out of the executive coaching and l believe it has made me a better leader and more productive in my role.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Collingwood and if you aren't sure if executive leadership development is for you, I would say thing again as it made such a difference to our business.

Doug and the Collingwood team helped establish a strong and vibrant leadership group here. Finding talent is one thing but the resilience, questioning and value add means they work to get the best fit and solution not just the fee, quickly building trust. Working across function and broad geography have not been an issue - a pleasure to work with.

It has been great to work with Doug and his team. They are very professional in understanding our needs and going out and finding that "right" person. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

As an HR professional, the relationship with outsourced recruitment teams is not always smooth.

However Doug and his team at Collingwood are professional, educated and honest, taking time to understand the needs of our business and sourcing credible candidates, who meet our requirements.

I would recommend Collingwood.

I have worked with Doug and the team at Collingwood several times over the past 8-10 years. I return to them as they spend a lot of time and effort at the outset understanding the roles we are seeking to fill, the leaders they will work with and for and how the organisation operates. Collingwood are also very effective at delivering candidates of a high standard, avoiding wasted time.
