Hotel Chocolat - Video Testimonial

Transcript of the entire interview:

"I've known Harley for quite a while, going back to our days working together at Reed. 

I subsequently went in-house, while Harley remained working in agencies. I worked with Harley when she was at a previous recruitment agency and was always really impressed by the marketing recruitment support she offered. 

When Harley co-founded Kin Collective, the timing was perfect. Within one month of the business being founded, we had an urgent marketing recruitment need. 

We were looking for a Performance Marketing Manager on a fixed-term contract, and I reached out to Harley to inform her of our need. 

I set up a briefing call with Harley and the hiring manager, our Head of Brand and Campaigns, to run through our requirements. We essentially needed someone who could start on very short notice.

It was a tall ask, but Harley exceeded our expectations. Within one week of receiving the brief, she put forward an amazing candidate. This candidate was interviewed within 24 hours and offered the role in the same week, which is practically unheard of. They're still with us and doing an amazing job.

Harley's expertise was evident throughout the process. She immediately understood what we were looking for and provided invaluable advice on where she felt we could find certain skillsets.

Unlike other recruiters, Harley and the Kin Collective team are not salesy. They adopt a true consultative approach, listening to your needs at every step while being collaborative, honest, and transparent. 

I would absolutely work with them again, and I can say, from first-hand experience, they represent their clients impeccably."
