Stephen has been a tremendous asset when engaging with him and the team at Elevate Partners on the recruitment process. Stephen and the team have been very discrete and detail-orientated and they have consistently maintained good communications throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend them for senior recruitment requirements, particularly where a specialist focus is required.

Declan Ryan, Managing Partner, Irelandia Aviation

Over the last 25 years, James has assisted me with numerous recruitment assignments for “investee” companies from across a number of diverse sectors (Pharma; IT; Finance;Airlines; Retail; Leisure and Philanthropic). His usual mandate has been to assist us in finding the right “people” for key executive hires. James’ style has always been to take time to understand the skill set and personality required for each of the assignments. Each stage of the process was delivered on time, and James helped us source and secure some excellent people that have helped our investee companies to grow and prosper.’ I want to wish James great success with Elevate Partners, and highly recommend its recruitment services to companies who need to find key executives”.
