All my interactions with Francesca have been wonderful. She has been professional, thoughtful, and transparent. She is a person of her word, and has never let me down. I am so lucky to have made contact with her, as I know she has worked so hard in finding me a position and at a great salary and brilliant company.
CAND – June Lawrence, Senior Garment Technologist

My experience with recruitment agencies in the past has always been quite difficult, from miscommunications to simply inconsistency from the agencies’ side. However, I’ve found that my experience with Francesca Hedger, at dSb Recruitment has been phenomenal. It is quite obvious to say, that Francesca has a great eye for detail and is excellent when it comes to pairing both job and candidate together.. It is safe to say now, that if I find someone who is in need of a vacancy, or is after a reliable and reputable recruitment consultancy, I shall most certainly recommend Francesca at your company.

As someone who’d taken a long break from the professional world due to personal circumstances related to the pandemic, I struggled to find the right opportunity within a company that would be understanding of my situation but also would be quick to value my set of skills.

She was an absolute superstar, always communicative, diligent in setting the tone for my interviews as well bridging any concerns.

CAND – Celestine Laurin – Studio Manager

Sophie is by far the best headhunter I have had the pleasure of working with. She is organized, incredibly thorough and most importantly honest and transparent when it comes to providing her insight & input. Sophie made sure to follow up and check in with me every step of the process, and even weeks after myself accepting a position, she made sure to touch base with me and check the well-being of myself and family. I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough, and I hope to work with her again in the future!
CAND – Farhan Qureshi, Head of Buying Womenswear

Sophie is a rare breed of headhunter; Sophie placed me at Lyle & Scott back in 2011. Since then Sophie has kept in touch every six months or so to check how I am, where I am at and through these conversations has got to know me, what makes me tick, where I would be a good fit and just as importantly, where would be a good fit for me. It is because of this that I have since used Sophie to successfully recruit numerous positions within my own teams. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie and dSb recruitment to any company or candidate, in a time where relationship and personalisation are key to success.
CAND – Johanna Senior, Product Director

Sophie matched highly suitable jobs with my personal profile, organised fantastic interviews and provided great feedback and advice throughout the whole process – a great person to work with!
CAND – Lucy Robinson, Ecommerce Manager

dSb is one of the most professional and caring recruitment agencies there is. Sophie’s personal and caring approach made the complete process of job hunting a breeze, right from the search, through the interview process, and settling in. Their Consultants have placed me a number of times in my career and what I value most is that they always listen and connect with the candidate, and using their knowledge of the industry and insight of potential Companies, they always find a successful match.
CAND – Amit Tulsian, Clothing Product Technologist

Sophie was helpful, thoughtful and very professional in supporting me in my search process. She was able to provide me with regular updates and information around the process and negotiations with the client etc. Her speed, professionalism and communication skills made the whole experience very easy and quick.
CAND – Simon Taylor, International Business Director/Consultant

The whole process and experience of working with Sophie and dSb on my new role has been positive and very smooth. Very good communication and feedback at every stage. I found Sophie proactive, helpful and fast to react to any questions and provide clarity where needed. A company I would happily work with again.
CAND – Jo Penny, Planning and Merchandising Director

Sophie has been the most professional of headhunters. From the first moment and all throughout the process she has been informative and supportive. I have had many a bad experience with headhunters and recruiters but Sophie made me feel that she was there to support me on my journey in getting a new role. I felt so much more comfortable going into the interviews thanks to Sophie’s knowledge and support and once finished she was there at the end of the phone to discuss how it went.
I can’t thank Sophie enough as I am now due to start a dream job with a dream brand. Thank you so much.
CAND – Mark Redding, Business Development Manager

Amazing throughout process!!

I wish you great success for future and keep hunting :-).
CAND – Sami Zaman – Packaging Technologist

Annabel is a pleasure to deal with and has supported me with a number of successful placements.
She works tirelessly to get the right candidates and really listens to the brief. Her determination to deliver at pace and with a real “can-do” attitude is a real asset and is much appreciated”.
CLIENT – Head of Commercial, DFS Home & Dwell

Annabel is the most connected recruiter I have met and did a fantastic job for us. She placed an amazing candidate who is a perfect fit for the role we were recruiting.
CLIENT – Commercial Director, Hunter Price International

As always, it’s an absolute pleasure to work with Annabel, although this time I was sitting at the opposite side of the table as a candidate rather than an employer. During my recent months of job searching, I have been in contact with a number of recruiters, as you may well imagine, but I have to say Annabel’s approach is completely different and so refreshing. Annabel’s knowledge of the industry along with her many contacts (and I say contacts, but she really does invest time to get to know everyone she deals with) makes the whole process so personal and the roles presented to me, as a candidate such a better fit.
This also works in reverse when Annabel has helped me with selecting candidates for roles I have been recruiting for in the past. She takes time to send the right candidates forward for the roles on offer, which is such a time saving exercise when you are looking for the right person to join your team. It goes without saying if in the future I need help recruiting for my new team she will be my first port of call.
CLIENT – Head of Merchandising, Hedges Direct

I’ve had such varying experiences with recruitment agents, and I have to say Annabel is the most lovely and genuine by a long way. Her communication is excellent & I was kept up to speed throughout the whole recruitment process. It is surprising how many recruiters don’t do this. I was well briefed on the interview requirements which enabled me to prepare thoroughly & Annabel’s honesty was, quite frankly refreshing. I have dealt with other recruiters who are no so open or transparent and I welcomed this approach. Annabel goes the extra mile which seems like a small deal but actually makes her stand out from other recruiters & would make Annabel my go-to choice for any future work requirements.
CAND – Joanna Burnham – Senior Buyer

I had an amazing experience with Annabel from dSb recruitment. Right from the initial phone call, Annabel was professional and very friendly, providing me with all the information I needed. She was also very good at listening and understanding my needs. She was there for me all the way through the recruitment process. In the past I have been frustrated by other recruiters due to lack of communication, however Annabel has restored my faith as she was always contactable and was in frequent contact with me! She was always on hand to answer questions and queries and to give me advice and update me on any progress.
I’m very grateful to her as she helped me secure the job of my dreams and would definitely recommend her!
CAND – Rachel Nimz-Taylor, Buyer

Annabel is a joy to work with and as a result has become my go to recruiter. She’s friendly, down to earth and works tirelessly to get you the right candidates. When it feels the odds are sometimes stacked against success, her determination to deliver is most appreciated. She gets the right results by listening to what’s needed and is a great partner that I can’t recommend highly enough.
CLIENT – Head of Digital, HTI

We cannot recommend Annabel highly enough when it comes to recruitment. We had a key position to recruit that was proving extremely difficult in a very tough market; 4 months in with another agency and we had just not met the right person for our business. Within 3 weeks of working with Annabel her understanding of our business, tenacity and determination delivered an excellent shortlist of candidates that allowed us to successfully fill the position.
CLIENT – Commercial Director, Joe Davies

I have worked with Annabel on a number of recruitments and find her to be incredibly thorough in her candidate search. Annabel goes that extra mile to fully understand our business requirements and as importantly cultural fit. She is incredibly passionate, clearly loves what she does and is a great recruitment consultant to work with.
CLIENT – Commercial Manager, Sambro

Annabel is a diamond recruiter. She listened, kept me informed every step of the way and matched me up with a company that suited my skills and talents. If you get the chance to work with Annabel I would highly recommend her services.
CAND – Lisa Vigour – Brand Administrator

Such a pleasure to work with Annabel Plowman, she was professional, always available and supported me at every stage of the recruitment process. She negotiated efficiently on my behalf once an offer was made to help tailor a package that was a perfect fit for both the company and myself. I would definitely recommend her to both job applicants and businesses looking to recruit.
Thanks again for all your help Annabel – you really have been great throughout this whole process!
CAND – Sukh Klair – Merchandiser

Throughout the whole recruitment process I have found Annabel to be both professional and transparent. She is an expert in the market and goes the extra mile for you. I would have no hesitation in recommending Annabel as my recruiter of choice.
