“We worked with CS for the first time last year. We found them to be incredibly thorough with a clear objective of understanding our needs exactly. I was kept informed throughout the process with regular reports and phone updates. The candidates which were presented were of high caliber and all very well suited for the position offered. Overall we are very happy with the service received and will gladly use them again!”

“We instructed Coniston Scott to design bespoke Situational Judgment Tests for the purpose of comprehensive and accurate assessment when identifying the most suitable Senior Lawyers candidates. The process has been meticulous, the team was very generous with their time and brought an unmatched knowledge and depth of understanding into the cooperation and final bespoke tests, producing crucial key insights that assisted in making the correct final choices”

“We have worked with Coniston Scott for nearly 10 years now. As a specialist boutique hospitality business, we needed a very specific type of Managing Director. CS initial “hit list” of potential targets amazed us with it’s accuracy and obvious intensive research that had occurred to create it. CS also attended interviews with us and assisted our management team in hiring an excellent individual who have made a huge positive impact on our business. CS is no ordinary consultancy – they are targeted and ultra effective head hunters with an extensive knowledge of psychology in a workplace.”
