​Following the successful insourcing of Southwark Council’s leisure centres, we worked with David to recruit to a permanent Head of Leisure. It is a key, specialist leisure role, so it was very important for us to find the right person. David was a pleasure to work with. He is highly professional and personable, as well as being an expert in the leisure field. David provided us with an exceptionally strong short-list, we were (excitingly) able to appoint a Head of Leisure.

​

​I have worked with David and Leisure People to cover a number of senior high-profile positions within the Leisure industry. David has a vast knowledge of our sector and a broad network, which meant that we were introduced to high calibre candidates with skill sets and experience matched to the roles.

​Veronica is an excellent recruitment agent for the wellbeing industry. She has an impressive understanding of the demands of the spa environment and has been amazing to work with. Her professionalism and communication skills are outstanding and she always finds the best candidates for us. She is committed to achieving our goals and I highly recommend Veronica' as a wellbeing recruiting expert.

​​​Veronica has worked closely with Hilton over the last 12 months supporting our recruitment needs within the EMEA team. I have found Veronica to be a great support – she provides good calibre / relevant candidates, is very grounded in her approach and is a pleasure to work with. This has led to a successful partnership through some challenging assignments.   

There isn't a more professional and supportive recruitment agency in the market. From both sides of the spectrum; the constant support and contact is of huge value, whilst understanding exactly what the client wants and matching that to the perfect candidate. 

I changed career sectors from retail to leisure and Leisure People were pivotal to my success. Not only have they personally mentored me but have aligned my skills, capabilities and leadership to the right opportunities. A must for anyone taking their career to the next level. 

In an industry that is awash with recruitment agencies, Leisure People stand out. They have been an excellent sounding board for some complex challenges and their honest and open approach is refreshing. They are extremely well connected and in touch with the leisure industry. 

Imperial have partnered with Leisure People for a number of years. They have provided us with a range of staff from Lifeguards to Senior Managers. They understand our business, priorities, personalities and operating models so they can always provide us with pragmatic, like minded and most importantly hireable people!

I have been fortunate to have worked with Leisure People for a number of years, and they have always delivered, always over and above of what has been asked. As a business, they carry a wealth of expert knowledge in recruitment, and further to that, have a level of integrity and credibility that is hard to match.

Leisure People have the ability to source high quality candidates and place value on quality over quantity when sharing candidate CV's. Their in-depth knowledge of what is going on in the marketplace and solid relationships sets them apart from other recruitment agencies, especially when sourcing more senior candidates.  Their honest, pragmatic response is refreshing. 

I have worked with Leisure People on our senior management needs for the last 15 years. They are always highly responsive, discreet, thorough and targeted giving me a shortlist of quality candidates for the required roles. I have absolute trust they can get the job done and really understand the type of person who fits our culture. 

I just wanted to thank Leisure People for all the great work and partnership through our recruitment process. Two weeks ago we had five open roles for an entirely new concept and virtually no talent in the pipeline. Fast forward to today and I am really excited by the team we have pulled together with their leadership. Thank you for all your hard work in getting us to this point. I look forward to working with you again on future talent acquisition needs.
