Client & candidate testimonials

"I‘ve worked with Meraki Talent for a few years now and have always found their service first class. Jennifer Wood works closely with me in providing temporary support to our Securities Services business. I find their candidate care and candidate vetting commendable.

From Meraki Talent, I can always rely on solid candidates, excellent service, and market intelligence. From my experience dealing with Meraki Talent, I find them extremely reliable, hardworking and professional. I would recommend Meraki Talent’s services to other employers."

Resourcing Partner

Global Bank

"I'm very satisfied with the service Jennifer provided me through Meraki Talent. I was surprised at the speed at which I received information regarding my current role and how she helped me through the process of preparing for the interview.

I feel that without the assistance, I may not have done quite as well. Even after helping me secure a role, Jennifer has been very approachable, and I know if I require support in any way, she'd be able to guide me."

Fund Operations

Asset Management Firm

"Jennifer made the process of finding my first job out of university an easy and stress-free experience. After reaching out to me, Jennifer did a fantastic job of selecting several highly relevant job profiles which I was interested in being considered for. Following communication of in-depth information about the role, Jennifer contacted the company on my behalf and had an interview arranged for the next week.

Following this, Jennifer remained in constant contact with me, providing invaluable interview advice and preparation which enabled me to perform at my best during the interview process. Following my start date in my new role that I found courtesy of Meraki Talent, Jennifer remained a point of contact for any queries I had, making the transition from university to working life an easy one."

Operations

Asset Servicing

"Jennifer recently assisted me in being offered a position with a leading client in Edinburgh. Jennifer ensured that I was well prepared for the interview, providing me with likely questions that I would be asked at this stage, with the result that I was offered the role within 48 hours.

Jennifer moved very quickly in assisting me with the reference checking process and in obtaining all the necessary prerequisites. Jennifer has proved helpful and communicative throughout the entire process, and I am grateful for her assistance in enabling me to get my foot in the door at a prestigious company."

Platform Operations

Asset Management

"I can’t recommend Jennifer highly enough, thoroughly professional, highly motivated and very helpful. She was constantly contacting me about various roles and helped me really prepare for the role I was eventually successful in gaining.

She probably did more for me than all the other consultants or agencies combined; should I be looking for work again in the future, she will be my first port of call. Jennifer is a credit to her industry, and it was a pleasure working with her."

Operations

Wealth Management

"I sought help from Jennifer in finding a senior management post within financial services at a time when the market was facing a huge downturn, and many were faced with redundancy. Jennifer was always helpful and professional, and nothing was too much trouble.

I didn’t have that feeling of I’m just another number. She kept me informed at regular intervals rather than me having to chase for feedback. She has a good understanding of financial services and absolutely nailed the roles that were appropriate to me. Neither wasting her nor my time. Highly recommended!"

Senior Operations Manager

Wealth Management

"I have always been impressed with Jennifer. Throughout the time that I have worked with Meraki Talent, Jennifer has always been very informative and professional.

I have had several questions and concerns which I have raised, and they have always been dealt with in a timely and respectful manner. I will continue to use Jennifer and Meraki when looking for opportunities in financial services."

Corporate Actions

Asset Manager

"I have recently worked with Jennifer to secure a new role. Jennifer is friendly and approachable and took time to really understand what I was looking for.

Her communication is excellent; at all stages of the process, she has kept me updated (even if there was no update) and evening providing updates on days she’s not working. She was there to support interview preparation and provided lots of helpful information in advance of my interviews.

Highly recommend."

Risk Professional

Global Banking

"Jennifer was extremely attentive and helpful during my whole process of finding a new job. The support provided from the initial job search stage all the way through to signing my contract was massively beneficial, and I would recommend anyone use Jennifer’s expertise in their job search.

I can’t thank Jennifer and Meraki enough for all their help during this stage of my career."
