what our clients say
“I have worked with SILK over the years as both a candidate and a client. As a client, our first experience working together was on a very challenging search to identify a regional head who needed to combine commercial expertise, local knowledge, strong brand values and the entrepreneurial approach needed when not in head office. SILK were successful in this and the person is still employed. As a candidate of SILK, I always appreciated their candid view on a role and company and willingness to take the time to assess wider career ambitions. SILK operates with strong emotional intelligence and knows how to leverage their knowledge of the market and expertise.”

“Working with SILK is an absolute pleasure. They take the time to understand the scope of the role being sort and quickly grasps the calibre and breadth of candidate required. As the search evolves she is adaptable and patient and helps to guide and advise with subtly. As a result, she manages to find and secure the ideal candidate who not only comes with the desired experience and skill set, but also fits into the culture of one’s business, which is critical. It is often not an easy task that is laid out, but Kellie manages to succeed at it with aplomb.”
Managing Director, luxury fashion retailer
“Thank you so much for your help in these years Kellie. SILK have been a valuable partner in helping us build out our Customer Journey team. Initially we were in urgent need of expertise in CRM, Social Strategy and Customer Service. The SILK team acted quickly to introduce 3x best-in-class interim consultants, to plug the immediate gaps. All three interim contracts have been extended and each individual has added great value. Concurrently, SILK led and successfully fulfilled, 2x permanent Director-level searches within this strategically important team, to drive organizational change. I really enjoyed working with you, with your “can do” attitude and always trying to make it happen for the best of your client.”
