What Our Clients Say

James-Cash

James Cash

Managing Director – Superfast IT

I worked with Devya while recruiting for a Finance Manager to join our team. Devya helped us define the role and determine exactly what we needed. She then introduced a pool of several highly qualified candidates from which we successfully hired.

Using Devya’s services, we hired a great person who served our business well for many years. Following our experience, I happily recommend Devya to other businesses looking to hire finance professionals.

Rowan-Crozier

Rowan Crozier

CEO at C. Brandauer & Co Ltd & Trustee & Director at Support

I have worked with Devya to recruit a number of key appointments into our finance department. From senior manager/director level to graduate trainee, she is excellent at not only finding the candidate with the right skills but one who is an excellent fit to the business. She proactively follows up with both candidates and principals consistently from drafting the initial job specification to well beyond the candidate's first-year anniversary. I would not hesitate to recommend her to other forward-thinking, growing SME manufacturing businesses.

Karen-Smallwood

Karen Smallwood

Director of Finance & Commercial - Wolverhampton Grand Theatre

I have used Devya on several occasions for contract, temporary and permanent vacancies. Unlike many recruitment consultants, I have always found her approach to be both personable and professional and she operates with integrity to both parties which is quite unusual! She takes time to understand my requirements, offering sensible solutions and professional advice.

It is due to Devya that I have been able to recruit excellent middle to senior finance personnel who fit the team and the needs of the business perfectly. I would highly recommend her services.

Mark-Walters

Mark Walters

European Financial Controller at Rotometrics International Ltd

I have worked with Devya for over 20 years now. Apart from being a really great lady from a personal perspective, her understanding of our business and her professional approach and diligence in finding the correct solution for us, has always been her top priority.

With her experience in both recruitment and coaching and the amount she invests in her business, we know we will always receive an excellent service. Devya will always be my top 'go-to' person for any recruitment and coaching needs.
