"I was recruited as DCEO via Propelo and found their level of service exceptional. Now that I am in post, I have continued to use their services for appointments and once again, their attention to detail, professional communication and sector knowledge has been excellent."

Tamara Allen
Deputy Chief Executive Officer, LAAT

"Everything from initial conversation to interviews and final discussion have been both highly professional and thoroughly enjoyable, which is a pretty difficult balance to strike - so please accept our sincere thanks. It’s also the accompanying efficiency, rapid response to emails, deadlines met (well ahead of deadlines actually), great communication, toleration of endless questions and a real understanding of what we’re trying to achieve that we’ve appreciated."

Louise Blackburn
Board of Trustees, Endeavour MAT

"Their work on our behalf was highly professional and their communication was excellent throughout the process. They showed a keen understanding of our needs and a candid evaluation of prospective candidates’ suitability for the role. We were delighted to make a strong appointment and would recommend Propelo without hesitation."

"Corrina is undoubtedly my go-to person when we need to widen our search to find great talent to join the Ark network. Corrina is not only able to uncover exceptionally talented leaders in a timely manner, she also cultivates meaningful relationships with both her candidates and clients, ensuring that her recommendations are not just based on technical skill, but also on the alignment of vision and values - which is so critical to all our leadership appointments. I am absolutely thrilled with the perfect matches Propelo has brought to us."

Venessa Willms OBE
Director of Education, Ark

"The entire Propelo team has been incredibly attentive and helpful. Their work behind the scenes before and during an assignment means that all I had to do was show up and do the job! "
