Registry Trust
Registry Trust used Starfish to assist with recruitment for non-executive director roles and an executive role within the organisation. We canvased a few different firms prior to selecting Starfish, and were struck by the approach Starfish took. There was a real sense of ownership and responsibility, with a determination to drill into what skills and capabilities we needed for each role. Starfish were able to help us articulate the role(s) we were looking to fill in a concise and accessible way. During the initial process, which included drafting the role description, and advertisement, we were able to rely heavily on the expertise at Starfish. We’ve also had positive feedback from applicants (successful and unsuccessful) who’ve been introduced to us by Starfish. Applicants have proactively commented on how smooth and professional they have found the whole process, which seems to me wholly indicative of the approach that Starfish take – consummate professionals throughout, irrespective of whom they are dealing with.”
