"Graeme Braidwood contacted me in May 2010 having found my resume online on the Actuary website. He phoned me and we discussed my options which to me seemed limited. Our discussion was both very discrete and practical. He quickly worked out what the best opportunities were for me in the UK and proceeded to match me with the prospective employers. This sounds simple but it really does take a bit of skill - which Graeme obviously has. The task was complicated since I required a tier 2 visa and wanted to change from a career in pensions into life. He found virtually the perfect opportunity in a Life offices reserving department. After a successful interview Graeme's real value became apparent. He has helped keep all the parties ... up to date on my progress to relocate to the UK from the USA. This has been essential to ensure a smooth transition and avoid any unexpected hiccups or delays."

"In my experience the right recruiter makes all the difference. It has been a pleasure working with High Finance [Group] and Graeme Braidwood."

"I first encountered High Finance Group (HFG) during a careers fair at CASS Business School. I met with Graeme Braidwood and explained my expectations of an ideal prospective employer and later sent him my CV. When my current job was featured on the business school's careers mailing list, HFG was listed as dealing with the sourcing, and Graeme was the consultant on the job. He remembered our earlier meeting and the following correspondence. All through the process he was cordial, on top of his game and remained professional, which meant a lot since I had been working with other agencies that did not maintain the same relationship with me as their client. Prior to the interviews Graeme and Mark provided me with material on the company to enable proper preparation. I also had a prepping session before attending the interviews to ensure that I was well equipped. This particularly kept me super confident, which is one quality that my current employer says stood out during the course of the interviews. HFG also made arrangements for changes in interview dates when I was in school and could not attend them on the scheduled date. After each interview I received feedback from the interviewers, which prepared me for the next level interview. The exemplary client service continued even after I had landed the job, as they still kept in touch and communicated to find out how I was doing in my new job."

"It is the small details, that may appear negligible, that have made my experience with Graeme and HFG lovely and memorable. For me, they are a benchmark for client based service. I am very grateful for their support and the role that they have played in getting me into my current employment."
