Our clients

I’ve worked with Comma for several years as both a hiring manager and as a candidate. I’ve recommended them to many of my network, too. In every case their approach has been great – they know the market, have strong candidates, work with top-tier organisations and provide a clear brief. The Comma team are generous with their time, provide good support during the hiring/recruitment process and make the effort to give something back with their knowledge seminars and participation in IC industry events.

Great to work with you, Comma. You really are good at what you do.

Catherine Inwood, Internal Communications Consultant

I would highly recommend Comma to find the best candidates in the market. The standouts for me were the Comma team spending the time to get to know our business, team dynamics and the role before rushing forward with potential candidates. They also researched the sector and market so they could put forward a credible short list of candidates. Comma know the market well and their insights have also helped me to shape future roles and recruitment activity.

Paul Lloyd, Corporate Communications & Engagement Director, Flutter

 

Louise supported me in my job search when I relocated to London. Interviewing remotely and subsequently relocating to a new city for a new role was challenging. Louise was by my side supporting and working to get me the best fit the entire time. Her professionalism and genuine interest in the success of the candidates she places touched me. Louise was so supportive in my successful transition from Ireland to the UK and into a job that was a perfect fit! Louise really went above and beyond making sure I was comfortable.

Alison McIntyre – Change Comms Specialist

Comma Partners have proved time and time again that they are some of the best match makers in the industry.  They always take the time to understand our situation, provide experienced and insightful advice on the roles being recruited and they take great care to present candidates that will work well with our existing teams.

Andy’s a great senior recruiter. Professional, knowledgeable, diligent, and resourceful. He understands the human condition and the evolving pressures people face in the workplace. He’s got his finger on the pulse of the communications industry. This makes him the ideal partner to help people find the next role and organisations new talent. He cares about delivering a great working relationship for all.

Sandra Lowman-Simpson, Senior Internal Comms Specialist

Comma have been my ‘go to’ recruiter for a few years: they’ve placed me in more roles than any other agency by far. I trust their advice completely: they know me, they know comms inside out and they know what will fit for the client. They consistently offer the highest quality, interesting roles and they are a joy to work with.

Sophie Rena, Change and Comms Lead

I have found Comma to be a supportive and reliable partner in identifying and securing interim contracts. Comma’s support in the recruiting/placement process is second-to-none and their interest in their clients (both interims and organisations) is clear and focused on successful outcomes rather than ticking the box of filling a contract. Comma Partners is an excellent communications recruitment agency – full stop!

Adam Morris, Communications Consultant

If I want to be recruited to a role that fits my expertise – or need to recruit the right person for an interim or permanent role – Virginia has become my ‘go to’ resource. Virginia is an expert in understanding what/who is really needed in the often stressful world of specialist role-hunting or role-filling, and I am so grateful for the straight-talking and for the easy relationship I have developed with Comma Partners over the years.

Katie O’Brien, Inclusion & Diversity Manager, Anglo American

When I need strategic communication support I don’t want to be swamped with CVs. What has impressed me most is the way in which Comma develops a good understanding of the workings of the communication team enabling them to put forward people who not only tick the boxes on skills and expertise but, more importantly, are a good cultural fit.

Anne McCormack, SVP Internal Communication & Engagement, CPA Global

Comma Partners has placed me on more than one occasion and I have always thoroughly enjoyed my assignments. They take the time to get to know you, as well as understanding your skill set. This means that they are able to place people where there will be a good cultural fit, as well as a technical one. During an assignment Comma is always available to provide support and advice if required, which differentiates Comma from many of the larger agencies. I would highly recommend Comma to anyone.

Louise Sturgess, Internal and Change Communications Consultant

Virginia exemplifies what’s great about small, smart and agile recruitment providers: in-depth understanding of the market, trends, value and pricing and most importantly, insightful understanding of the key players and their strengths. Virginia brings professionalism and perspective borne from her own experience in-house and running her own business. Her reputation goes before her. I have complete confidence in recommending Virginia as a top flight interim communications partner.
