Isabelle , Compliance Manager, AIG Life Ireland Ltd. “I found Leon from Premier to be a very valuable resource in filling the role of Group Financial Controller. Leon was responsive at all times, but what really set him apart from other recruiters was that he really understood the more subtle, yet essential qualities that we needed in a candidate and he worked actively with us to screen appropriate candidates. Leon’s follow up through the process was very strong right through reference stage and subsequent to making the hiring decision. I would not hesitate to use Leon again for filling any similar future vacancies that arise.”
David Coghlan Vice President of Development & Finance
"During 2008 I had a need for two internal auditors and sought the assistance of a number of agencies. This brought me into contact with Leon. My first delight was the quality and relevance of the CVs produced. Leon listened, questioned and accurately reflected back my needs/expectations. Secondly, all contacts with me were business focused and very professional. There was a purpose and an outcome to all contacts received from Leon. Thirdly, Leon's manner was always friendly, helpful and extended to offering options/alternatives which I very much appreciated. Because of his particular mix of knowledge, skills and behaviours not only has he done his immediate Finance section proud but has also created business for other sections of the overall Premier Group. I look forward to continuing our business relationship as needs dictate during 2009."
Kevin Pyke, Resourcing Manager, An Post
"In May 2008, I required a General Manager/Financial Controller for a BES investee company of BDO Simpson Xavier. Leon did not bombard me with irrelevant CV’s like the other agents; he gathered more information and a full understanding on the spec and the role. He forwarded CV’s of candidates who not only had relevant experience but also had an excellent understanding of the role. Leon’s key strengths which have placed him and Premier as the key referrer for any future roles in our investee companies include, Friendly but professional, Excellent customer service, Flexible, Balanced, maintains the relationship of the candidate as well as the recruiter which is paramount, Not overly pushy. The other agents were pushed candidate(s) who did not fit the role. Consequently, I knew the agent was chasing the commission rather than keeping a potential recruiter. "The above strengths were taken into account when a new General Manager/FC role came available in another investee company in August 2008. This job spec was only given to Leon which he successfully placed a candidate. In the current retracting market, representatives like Leon will ensure that vacant roles will be referred to him."
Andrew Bourg, Senior Manager of BDO
"Leon has always been very professional and helpful in all of the dealings I have had with him. He knows the type of candidates that we look for and really knows how to sell Yahoo! I would recommend him to any of my colleagues in Yahoo!"

Compliance Manager, AIG Life Ireland Ltd. "Premier has worked with us over a number of years and most recently on our open Accountant vacancy.
