IMA VON WENDEN
Tanya was unique in my experience, with her depth and breadth of knowledge for the communications industry. She was also consistent and caring in her approach to helping find the right next role for me. She followed my every step and helped me with feedback and constructive suggestions for where I could improve. From analysing my CV and advising on how to highlight my strengths to following up every interview and task I was given. Tanya also gave me back my professional confidence, which had been lost due to so many rejections elsewhere. Dealing with her felt like finding a lost friend, as she understood and looked after me and helped me to secure my dream job after a parental break in my career. I would always highly recommend her to anyone seriously looking for their next position in PR.
SAM MORGAN
Anne was a fantastic help in my job search from start to finish – she understood exactly what I was after and was very targeted in what she put me forward for. She’ll regularly touch base with you and is quick to get feedback and updates from the interviewer. Can thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a new role.
RANA, MD RAPTOR PR
Anne and I have been working together for nearly 20 years on both a candidate, and now client level. She’s highly consultative, possessing both a deep understanding of the comms industry, with exceptional business acumen and knowledge. One could say she has been a significant recruitment architect across my entire career, as she placed me in career defining roles including MSL UK and Cision. Most recently, Anne successfully sourced my new account manager who has hit the ground running. Long may the collaboration continue!
DOUG KEIGHLEY
Anne knows the PR market very well indeed so is my first port of call whenever it comes to working with good companies. Thanks Anne!

JOSH PATERSON
Anne comes highly recommended as probably one of the most honest recruiters I’ve had the joy of working with. Friendly, factual and frank talk that really helped me as a candidate evaluate my current career situation and the opportunities Anne had laid out in front of me. I felt there was no hurry, no pressure, and I was well informed throughout the duration of the recruitment and hiring process, and would like all recruiters to take a leaf from Anne’s book! Thanks Anne!
LOUIS VAN DER LINDEN
Anne has great knowledge of the UK’s comms and PR employment landscape and takes the time to share her insights and talk through options. She has a friendly demeanour and tone of voice.
LAURA JONES
I would highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for the right job, that fits their skill set and experience to reach out to her She was always super professional and took the time to provide me with advice in order to get the right job. She won’t waste your time asking you to apply for jobs that aren’t spot on for you, as it is obvious she knows her clients well and understands their requirements as much as your own. I would 100% use her again, if I find myself looking again that is.

Tanya found me my current role at Seven Hills, for where I’ve worked for the past 3.5 years. Tanya was insightful and full of great advice about the application and interview process. Carter Ferris has helped me a number of times over the years and I’ve always found the jobs and employers they have access to, to be particularly interesting.

Tanya is a phenomenal recruiter; she placed me in a role that was an important and progressive position for me. I was exposed to various opportunities, which is a testament to her strong network and willingness to find the right match for her candidates. Carter Ferris is a brilliant firm with a competitive breadth of impact-led work!
RUTH FLETCHER
Hi Tanya, I’m thrilled! But that being said, I really did want to get in touch to say thank you, sincerely.
You worked so very hard to get me all those interviews, and you were so kind and supportive throughout the whole process. It was lovely to have you on my team (certainly not all recruiters are as supportive) Perhaps our paths will cross again…but not for a little while at least!
