Arti Bhakta | Head of Finance Risk & Controls | National Gas

Audit & Risk Recruitment have been my ‘go to’ Internal Audit recruitment agency for the last 6 years. They have built up a great team, who consistently deliver an excellent service. I have used them across different roles in terms of seniority, operational audit, IT audit, in the UK and Singapore and hence are definitely not just UK centric. I would recommend them to and do recommend them to all my peers.
David Lynam | Senior Director | LKQ

Adam is very approachable and easy to build a working relationship with. We’ve had good conversations about recruitment and potential candidates but also discussions at a more strategic level regarding team structure, where his insights have been valuable and have helped me in my role as a Head of Audit. If you’re in need of recruitment expertise and/or resourcing strategy, I can warmly recommend Adam!
Anja Andersson | Head of Audit | Motability Operations Ltd

I have used Audit and Risk Recruitment for over 8 years, and they have consistently found me excellent candidates that meet my brief. I quite often have specific requirements such as language skills, set geographical locations, and certain skill sets, that are challenging to find, but they find candidates and find them quickly! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for support across the field of Internal & IT Audit whether it be in the UK or across Europe.
David Carr | Group Head of Interal Audit | JSS

Craig and the team at Audit & Risk Recruitment have delivered unmatched support and collaboration in addressing our audit and risk recruitment needs over the years. They consistently demonstrate a deep understanding of our organisational culture and requirements, sourcing highly skilled candidates who ‘meet the brief’ and integrate seamlessly into our team. Audit & Risk Recruitment’s commitment to excellence and personalised service has made them a trusted and invaluable recruitment partner. Thank you, Craig, and the team, for all your support!’
Jasvider Deo | Audit & Risk Director | PZ Cussons

“I have worked with the Audit & Risk Recruitment company for just over 10 years. They have always taken the time to understand my business, my team, and both the technical and cultural aspects we’re looking for. They’ve always provided me with top quality candidates and have performed at a consistently high level. More than that, they’re just a pleasure to work with. I’d highly recommend their services.”
Mark Corfield | Senior Vice President – Risk & Audit | Burberry

Audit and Risk Recruitment consistently provide us with quality candidates – they are personable and easy to deal with and understand the sort of individual who will fit with our organisation.
Claire Odell | Head of Internal Audit | DS Smith

The reason I’ve partnered with the team at Audit and Risk Recruitment for so long is simple: they take the time to really listen to and understand my requirements, and then only deliver top quality candidates who match the profile.
Steve Ashby | Internal Audit Director | TJX Europe

I’ve worked with Craig and Marcus from Audit and Risk Recruitment since they launched the business back in 2014. They have helped me to fill roles in my team and find roles for myself. I always go to them because they listen to my requirements and work hard to understand what I need. Then they work hard to fill the brief. All this is helped by a deep understanding of the market and having access to the best candidates. I have trust in them and the process and the candidates they bring are pre-screened and always worth my time to meet.
