Lucy Rider helped Opera North replace an exceptional Finance Director, and she couldn't have been more responsive. She instinctively understood the nature of third-sector work (and budgets) and her extraordinary network, particularly of people in and around Leeds or wishing to relocate here, led us to some really interesting candidates. One has the sense that she's invested in individuals for the long term, not just that she's trying to make the sale - all suggestions are thoughtful and personal. I would definitely use her again.

We recently worked with Lucy Rider on the appointment of a Head of Finance. Lucy was exceptional. What stood out for me is that she really listened to what we needed, understood the charity and the work involved and took the time to find the right candidate. We received a very significant number of applications and Lucy balanced a pragmatic approach to making sure she found the right candidate and treating each candidate with real care and attention, but also was sensible in her use of time and gave us a well considered, concise short list. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Lucy again (and I've worked with lots of recruitment agents in the region) - she stands out for her personal integrity and empathetic nature but the wits and skill to find right candidates for the role.

For Lucy Ryder I had an excellent experience working with Lucy. She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. As this was the first time in many years looking for a new position, I was a little nervous. She quickly put me at ease, gave me confidence and always available for any questions. Communication was great and I was always fully informed about the process of my applications. Thanks to Lucy I secured a new role which I’m happy with and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new role.

Working with Lucy has been a fantastic experience! After three difficult months following a redundancy, she helped me land a brilliant temporary role in a amazing company and is currently supporting me in securing a permanent public sector job. What sets Lucy apart is her she takes the time to meet you in person to truly understand your career goals and what you’re looking for. She is exceptionally supportive, professional, and effective. If you’re searching for your next role, you couldn't be in better hands. Thank you so much for everything, Lucy
