“Over the last few of years I have worked with Searchlight for a variety of roles within our business. They are professional and personable at all times which is refreshing – I can honestly say a genuine pleasure to work with. I trust them to find me high calibre candidates by putting in the same level of time and effort regardless of the salary or seniority of the role. Searchlight are without doubt my “go-to” agency for our business”.

Senior Director Talent, Wildbrain CPLG & Wildbrain Spark

“The team at Searchlight are great to work with and have paired us up with some fantastic people. Not only are they very responsive but they really listen and take our feedback on board to find the right people for us. I would highly recommend them and their services.”

Senior Producer, The Beautiful Truth

“We’re a very small company, so when our MD decided to plough an alternative course, I panicked about what to do. Having worked with Searchlight over the years, I called Cathy. Her calm advice redirected my thinking. We honed an extensive job description and Cathy used her expertise to reach out to the market with an initially narrow search. Fortunately, it immediately landed with the best possible candidate and with Cathy’s expert choreography, we secured our new MD. Brilliant.”

CEO, Pukka Films

“I’ve worked with Searchlight for many years now and find them to be incredibly insightful with what’s going on in the industry, to have the best candidates and are genuinely a lovely company to work with. I couldn’t recommend them enough.”

Head of Recruitment UK, Hogarth Worldwide
