"Lorraine's a top notch recruiter - she doesn't put people in boxes, like so many others do, but thinks creatively and collaboratively about roles and how to make the perfect fit both for recruits and for her clients. She is open, honest, and a pleasure to work with."
"She listened to everything I had asked for on my 'wish list' in terms of job role and came back to me with a number of different options all within top 10 PR companies."
"Utterclub has been a delight to work with. Presented with a tough brief, they used their extensive industry knowledge and network to provide us with a shortlist of senior candidates that matched our requirements. Interestingly, they also provided us with some creative alternatives which made our board reconsider and ultimately reconstruct the brief. A real breath of fresh air."
"Lorraine is probably the best recruiter I've worked with over my PR career - she knows the industry and has contacts at all the best agencies. She takes time to get to know her candidates and only puts forward jobs that suit their skill set. She's always my first port of call when looking for that new role and she always delivers."
"I've known Lorraine for a number of years. Straight down the line, calls it the way she sees it. Being a good recruiter means that you not only need to know the HR side of things, but also the business of the people you are looking to reach."
"The team at Utterclub are always great to work with. Professionalism combined with friendliness and results."
