Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Recruitment

Samantha Calvey was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, contacting me regularly to update me on progress and helping me to think through my approach to the recruitment process. This was particularly useful for me as I have been in my current role for 17 years, so was somewhat out of practice!

Last year I worked with Acre to find a new role and as part of the process, I completed a leadership assessment and coaching program. It was amazing to get this added value as part of the process and shows Acre’s commitment to developing and growing talent. The assessment allowed me and my new employer to really understand my strengths and development areas through insight. It was great to ensure I was aligned to the role and wider organisation, culture and values which is critical in the purpose and sustainability field.

​

A few months into my role I had a follow-up coaching session and it was really beneficial to stop, reflect and discuss my personal development. This service was a great addition to the recruitment process and I think very beneficial for all involved.​

​The collaboration with the Acre team was marked by great professionalism, stellar competency and genuine friendliness and advice throughout the entire recruiting assignment. Their support has made the difference in being able to find and hire the most suitable candidate for the role at hand.

​Liam provided a professional and friendly service. He took time to understand what I wanted, was knowledgeable about the industry and helped me understand if the available opportunities were the right fit.

Acre are real experts in the field of sustainability, which gives them a valuable edge over generic recruitment agencies. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to recruit in this specialist field.

Amazing group of supporters!

Acre were very supportive throughout the entire recruitment process, making me feel comfortable and excited about the opportunity. They were also very transparent and responsive, always received emails/follow-ups within 24 hours. Most importantly, they supported to inform me as much as possible about the position as well as the employer, which prepared me well for the interview rounds.

​Very receptive and understanding staff. Professional approach to work. They tailor the job match to your background in the short-to-long term.

​Amazing support throughout the selection process. Tanith and Caitlin went above and beyond to help me assess the position, prepare for the interviews and negotiate the offer. Thanks a lot!

​Tanith was efficient and trustworthy throughout the process and kept me informed at all stages. She listened carefully to my concerns and needs regarding the role in question, and faithfully represented me to her client. She was also a helpful sounding board throughout.

Best in the business! Very responsive, professional and a pleasure to deal with.

​Tanith and her team were wonderful — they provided resources to prepare for interviews, kept me up-to-date throughout the process and ultimately helped me land my dream job. Thanks Acre!

​I worked with Acre on two opportunities, one of which has turned into an accepted job offer. Working with Tanith has been the best experience I've had with a recruiter so far. She understood my profile very well, always kept me informed about the recruitment steps, helped me prepare for interviews, and generally was just lovely to work with!

​We had been looking to fill a difficult role for 2 years and had been through several rounds of interviewing without success. With their networking and specialist knowledge of the area, Acre was able to find a number of talented candidates which led to a successful appointment.

​As trawlermen the world over will attest, you're going to get a better catch if someone knows where the fish are to be found. When it comes to recruitment, Acre appear to know not just where the fish are, but the specific type of fish you are searching for in particular. We were delighted with the recruitment process and the high-calibre candidates it produced. Great service as well.

​Thank you Acre for your initiative and innovation. This is my second placement with Acre and I'm getting more and more impressed with your work.

​Acre was the only specialist search firm able to assist with our CSR search requirement. They were professional and extremely knowledgeable and we would not have been able to hire the talent we did without their expert assistance.

​I have worked with Acre, for several years, to secure sustainability experts. I have found their capacity to understand the assignments, rapidly identify and match potential candidates - and then smooth the way to successful appointments - to be outstanding.

​When we needed to recruit a Sustainable Development Manager, we looked for an organisation that specialised in this discipline and could work to a high standard. Acre did not disappoint - and the level of service provided was first class. Despite a very focused and defined job role, they were efficient in providing a shortlist of qualified candidates from which we were able to select an applicant of quality.

​Acre has risen rapidly to become the most specialised CR recruiter in the UK. I have always been impressed with the quality of candidates sent to me and I would have no hesitation to recommend Acre to anyone looking to find new people in the sustainability field.

​Acre has been a great partner in helping us fulfill our resourcing requirements. The service we have received from the team is truly that of a partner who understands our business and we are always guaranteed an exceptional personal service which is a rarity in this day and age.

​We consider Acre to be a really valuable partner when it comes to finding the specialist people that we need to deliver for our clients. They know the market better than most, and really understand our business – making the recruitment process much smoother as a result. Plus they’re a great, committed and fun bunch to work with, which also helps!

The Acre team have supported us with business intelligence services through an important period of planning and restructuring. They have provided insightful information and guidance to help us make important decisions with efficiency and confidence. They are always at the end of the phone, are extremely supportive and have been generally marvellous throughout.

​There’s no doubt that Acre is the best when it comes to recruiting sustainability professionals. This is partly down to the high-calibre of candidates they find - but also because they take the time to understand the role, the requirements, and the business to find the perfect match.

​Catherine was excellent! She found great candidates and always responded promptly to our calls or emails. Plus she found us a great candidate whom we are very pleased with.

​Acre's service has been outstanding. I have worked with them on both sides (recruiter and recruited) and on both sides they have always been professional, helpful and effective.

​I find that Acre listen well, understand your requirements and the sustainability space, and are customer responsive.

I am very happy with using them, and three of my new staff have come to us via Acre.

Acre have provided two high quality senior interim hires to our FTSE250 Sustainability Team in the past nine months.

Faced with a fast turnaround request from us, our consultant Tanith understood the brief swiftly and accurately, and supplied us with a pool of well qualified, and well-matched, candidates. Both hires have been excellent in-post, so I could comfortably recommend Acre's services and in particular Tanith's support.
