Below are some testimonials from clients who we have worked with:
"attenti helped us with the recruitment of a key post for the Trust. Initially we were going to handle the process ourselves but attenti contacted us and were offering a very flexible approach, helping with the parts of the process where they could help the most; using their skill and judgement in interviewing and assessing candidates.
At first they reviewed all of the applications. They then interviewed candidates and designed a specific assessment centre which tested the key competencies of the role. They provided comprehensive reports and recommendations which helped us make decisions about the candidates to take to the final interviews.
The attenti team took care of everything for us, organising the panel, briefing and supporting candidates, facilitating and advising on the day and giving support and feedback to candidates after the interviews.
I really enjoyed working with attenti and I was really pleased with the way they did what they said they would, they kept me informed about what was going on and the quality of their judgment and subsequent reports really assisted us in making a very good appointment. They also demonstrated a really good understanding of the role and diversity.
As an HR Director I am always being approached by consultancies who say they are flexible and different and attenti proved to me that they are when they helped with this appointment".
Deborah Clarke, Director of HR and Organisational Development
"attenti recently undertook a search for a Democratic Services Manager for us.
This is clearly not a good time for a search to find an experienced elections coordinator. We had a difficult choice to make after being offered a quality field where we could have offered the post to any of 3 candidates.
As a Council we have been impressed with the quality of the search, the approach of the main contacts and the administration of the company. We will be talking to them again."
Alistair Stewart, Chief Executive - Shepway District Council
"attenti supported us in the appointment of a key senior post, they took a really comprehensive brief from us, making us think hard about the role and the person we were looking for, they clearly understood the context in which we are working and the issues we are dealing with.
We asked them to interview candidates for us as well as getting candidates to undertake some psychometric testing. They produced accurate and insightful reports which helped the selection process.
We were very impressed with the high quality of the work that attenti did for us, they were flexible, responsive and most importantly delivered! Overall attenti provided us with excellent quality, a tailored response and at a realistic price."
Andrew Muter, Chief Executive - Newark and Sherwood District Council
"[The] valuable experience of attenti was used to great effect. Attenti were able to easily understand our requirements for the radical culture change we were seeking and fully incorporated our new High Performance Environment criteria into the full selection, assessment and appointment process."
Business Improvement OD, Borough council
"The brief attenti took went into previously unknown realms and way beyond the standard search & appointments process. They became actively involved in helping deliver culture change & organisational transformation. They achieved this through their in-depth understanding of what we were attempting to achieve, and attention to detail that verged on the obsessive.
What would otherwise have been a large and process driven commission turned out to be an exercise that helped lay the foundation for transformational change. I cannot recommend attenti highly enough."
Chief Executive, Dacorum Borough Council
