Testimonials
-
I was approached by Mikhaela of Crucial Group for a senior role in the energy technology sector. The start to finish process was very quick and straightforward.
Over two decades in fast moving sectors, I've dealt with a lot of search professionals, on both sides of the equation. Mikhaela stands out, though, as being especially easy to work with, and her non-nonsense approach is a breath of fresh air. She knows her stuff, moves swiftly and cuts to the chase.
-
"Working with Crucial Group for my staffing needs has been terrific. Laura and Hayley have provided me with a selection of pre-screened candidates that meet and exceed our needs. They have the ability to translate a complex work requirements into defined skills and then recruit based on those needs."
-
"Working with Hayley and the team at Crucial has been an absolute breath of fresh air for recruiting our team of MCR operators. From the start she took the time to fully understand what kind of person we were looking for and this showed when sending us profiles through. We were spoilt for choice as every one was spot on. This made our lives a whole lot easier, knowing that we would receive exactly what we needed.
Communication has been fantastic, with Hayley updating us every step along the way and setting up calls and interviews in a timely manner. We have recruited a very strong team for our operation and this is largely thanks to the professionalism and dedication from Hayley and the team. I have dealt with many recruitment agencies in the past and none have even come close to Crucial in every aspect of the recruitment process. Highly recommended and thanks so much! We will most definitely be keeping this relationship going in the future."
-
"We engaged Crucial to recruit a Director of Commercial Engineering. Not only was Mikhaela capable from a recruitment perspective, she had industry knowledge and real enthusiasm for our low carbon products. This meant we hired an exceptional candidate and are continuing our recruitment through Crucial in the UK, Spain, North America and LATAM."
-
"Working with Crucial has allowed us to up-skill out current workforce and fill in the gaps, Mikhaela’s knowledge of our client verticals has allowed us to consider different types of candidates through the pool of contacts they have access to. This has brought diversity in ways we had not considered and I am very happy about that."
-
"We hired a Macro Research Analyst through Crucial, they presented a range of resumes for us to review. Candidates were well prepared and negotiations were conducted quickly. This helped us immensely to have a recruiter who knew the market well."
-
"I have worked with Mikhaela for over 3 years now, and in her new firm I have hired 3 individuals for my global team. As always we get the candidates we want quickly and effectively. It is great to be working together again!"
-
"The process for hiring juniors into the Portfolio Management team can be time consuming, with Mikhaela she highlighted individuals we had not seen before, this was our first time working with Crucial and they have since joined our PSL."
-
"Understanding our needs is important, we were approached by Mikhaela regarding a candidate who we later went on to employ. We felt there was good understanding of our processes and we would work with them again."

“Samuel contacted me for the first time to recruit me on behalf of what would have become my current employer. He has been an exceptional recruiter always trying to ensure that my requests were addressed, and my concerns or doubts clarified. I am extremely thankful to Sam for bringing to my attention a career opportunity that I would have ignored and missed if it were not for the transparency, integrity and perseverance he always demonstrated with me. His belief that I was the best candidate for the job was not his unique driver and when he created the communication conditions for me to understand that the company was the right move for me, he gained all my trust. I did not need to wait until this recommendation to be written to promote Sam as the best recruiter I have met in over 15 years and I did so by sharing his contact details with several colleagues and friends.”
-
“Sam is wonderful to work with, very responsive, and professional. Readily available and interested in finding the best solution / fit for all parties involved. Sam is very organized and plans next steps with open communication and it all comes to a successful conclusion and smooth transition. Sam is truly a highly recommended asset.”
-
"Our work with the Crucial Recruitment team has been excellent. They are a trusted partner to find the best candidates across many diverse roles and skill-sets whilst ensuring the right organisation and culture fit. They are collaborative, professional and a pleasure to work with."
-
“Sam and his team are laser sharp in getting the right talent from the market in the record time – they are quicker than your own HR team”

Our experience with Crucial; trusted partner that delivered a very professional service. We met top candidates. The organisation of the first interviews were carefree and professional. Things got done and thanks to the Crucial team we gained another performing team!”
-
"This is the second time that I have worked with Crucial to recruit great people for our organization. On both occasions, our needs have been listened to and acted on professionally and promptly. Ami is excellent in screening & placing the required calibre of candidates for interview. I will be asking to engage Crucial again for all our future open roles."

“I first met Laura in summer 2014 when our business had started to look at how to create a team to deal with Space & Communications related work from our UK office. Laura clearly had great experience with companies in UK and overseas growing teams to develop and deliver business - ranging from projects to services. She has a great network and depth of experience in the sector and since meeting has provided advice and support to our growth. This has clearly included finding talent when we have requested, but also in providing ideas of who simply to talk to, so we have a pool of people who could come on board where we can justify it.”
-
“In every sense of the word, the partnership between our business and Crucial has exceeded my expectations by at least the distance of the orbit of a Geostationary satellite (36,000 km). Fantastic people to deal with, superb execution and always reliable. In the space of just six months we’ve taken our Talent Acquisition capabilities to an entirely new level with the dedication of Laura and the Crucial team. Thanks for being 'The Best'!”
-
“I've worked with Laura over the last three years and she truly is an innovative leader. Her attention to her client’s needs and translating those needs into successful candidates has helped me staff multiple positions over the last few years. I'm grateful she has a vast knowledge of the industry and the needs of her clients and is able to translate that into meaningful action. I am also impressed with Laura's passion for promoting women in the workforce. Tackling the issue of workforce diversity is not easy and takes a level of professionalism and tenacity. For her work in this area, Laura should be commended.”
-
"Having worked with Tania as a recruitment supplier I have no hesitation in recommending her work.

These relationships ensure communication channels flow in both directions creating a proactive recruitment service."
