“SILK Search was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire recruitment process. While a candidate for my current position, Kellie was eminently transparent, providing insights into the talent scope and skill sets required, feedback on interviews, and ultimately serving as a capable facilitator throughout the eventual hiring process. Service at most executive search firms starts and ends with an introduction to the client, whereas Kellie served as a project manager for the entire hiring process. She was recruiter, executive coach, mediator facilitator, and hand-holder, and most importantly, she was a genuine pleasure to work with.”

“Kellie is a pleasure to work with and the utmost professional. One characteristic I find different from SILK Search and other larger groups is the sensitivities to “corporate” fit and ability to place the talent and match the leadership and ecosystem with likeminded people. The fashion and luxury industry is unique and specialists, like SILK Search, work much better than the big global firms.”

“The recruitment process for my current position was handled very professionally by Kellie and her team at Silk Search – and very importantly the whole experience was a pleasure. The team provided the right level of information in a spirit of transparency all along the various stages, from the initial no-name approach to the final negotiations. It is rare to feel that a search firm strikes the balance in such a way that, even as a candidate, one feels one can fully rely on the representative of the potential employer. The SILK team was even able to provide some on-boarding advice to accelerate the integration. A fully customised and thoroughly satisfactory service!!”

“I have been lucky enough to have been placed by Kellie and SILK Search for two roles in my career. Kellie takes the time to really get to know and understand clients and candidates so that the perfect match is made – which in my case with my current role, all happened incredibly quickly and is my best role to date, which only demonstrates how good she is! Her professionalism and courteous style is second to none in the industry and I feel privileged to have been placed by her.”

"As a candidate we are often approached by recruiters, which can sometimes feel like a hit and run. With Kellie I felt she had done her homework and truly tried to understand how my talents would fit a position in another industry, by focusing on the experience and skill set I have. I actually rejected the first offer to consider a role in the wine industry but was enticed by the company and the fact that there was a realistic match in skill set requirements. Through some coaxing and coaching I eventually decided to consider the position, which changed my life. All the time feeling that it came down to Kellie's skill and insights that made the difference in creating this match.”

“From the beginning of my recruitment process Kellie McSorley was exactly the perfect advocate for me although I had just met her and she was on assignment for the company reaching out to me. Her level of professionalism is admirable but more than that what really struck me was how much she cared and truly facilitated the entire process with both my best interests as well as the company she was representing. Not only was she helpful in the offer process but where most executive search firms start and end with my introduction Kellie also advised me from the start, shared her knowledge of the company with me as well as its key stakeholders and continued to advise me throughout the actual negotiation of my contract. She truly listened to my concerns and my needs and gained my trust throughout the process. Above all this and most importantly Kellie was a pleasure to work with.”
