Support and Consultancy

“From finding me my current role to helping place two fantastic hires, ADLIB has been a pivotal role in the development of our team here at Bristol. The guys are easy to work with, friendly and most importantly inspire trust. I look forward to working with them in the future.”

"Sam has helped us recruit UX Designers, Service Designers and Accessibility experts for the last 18 months. During this time, I have come to understand that Sam has exemplary knowledge of UX disciplines, knows many candidates on a personal level, and only ever refers highly-skilled top-tier humans. What sets Sam apart from others in the field is the time and energy he puts into understanding the current (and envisioned) culture of the team he is recruiting for. This dedication allows him to spot people who will support your culture and not (negatively) disrupt it."

Working with ADLIB has been an absolute pleasure. They are professional, transparent and clear. They listened to our preferences and passion for diversity and truly delivered. We are proud to work with them.

The Head of Data Engineering needed this team built fast, so we agreed to keep open lines of communication and for 24-hour CV turnaround and suggested streamlining the process as much as possible due to the nature of such a competitive talent market.

"Space 48 has ambitious growth targets and recognises the importance of working with a recruitment partner that understands the business' vision and culture. The team at ADLIB has worked with us over the last 2+ years and has been instrumental in helping us to grow across several key disciplines. ADLIB spent the time to get to know Space 48 which meant they only introduce us to people who have the talent, attitude, and passion to be part of our great team. To Space 48, a recruitment partner is a long-term investment, and ADLIB continues to demonstrate its sector expertise and talent for finding the right people."

We provided salary bandings plus information about motivations for moving and skills that are in demand, leading to the placement of 3 Cloud Data Engineers including a lead after approving salaries and agency budget.

“ADLIB took the time to understand our unusually ‘human’ company culture, as well as the skills, experience and location requirements of the roles.  We worked with 2 recruiters, from different teams within ADLIB, and care was taken to find an extremely good fit in each case. Both new starters settled in seamlessly and very quickly became valued members in their respective teams.  I’m genuinely looking forward to working with ADLIB again.”

Scala and Kafka were initial sticking points for the manager, so we pressed for suitable alternatives to increase the flexibility. They agreed to consider candidates with different streaming experience and programming backgrounds which opened a larger pool. We placed 3 highly technical hires.

"As a content design lead with a rapidly scaling team, I recently needed 3 experienced senior content designers asap - and luckily I got to work with Sam. He took the time to understand my team, and how we work as content designers and ux writers in our specific working environment. Sam quickly found outstanding candidates, and made my busy days easy by organising interviews, setting up calls, ensuring I had information and details quickly and without hassle. Especially helpful was that Sam had clearly taken the time to get to know each candidate - he understands all the UX skillsets including all the various aspects of content design, and could also help me understand each candidates’ background, a bit about their character and preferences. That meant I was able to have meaningful conversations with him about fit and capability, which helped me make hiring decisions. I was able to hire 3 amazing content designers in about 3 weeks."

It was a real pleasure to work with Charlotte, who recently placed a new BDM Manager with us. Charlotte took time to get to know us and who we were looking for, really understanding our needs and the unique position we hold as a B Corp, which she had lots of insight on. I'm really looking forward to working with Charlotte again.
