“McCourt Newton behave in a very professional manner. The Consultant has a good market knowledge and is a very experienced interviewer. The feedback on the status of a Candidate’s application is both prompt and thorough. They operate well at an executive level.”

Operations Director – Global Packaging Group

“Before meeting one of the McCourt Newton directors, I really did not have a good word to say about the recruitment companies working in our industry, who universally overpromise and underdeliver. This was a board level appointment and the McCourt Newton director took a very detailed brief, screened a large number of applications, delivered an impressive longlist and a very high-quality shortlist. As part of this we were provided with detailed interview notes on the shortlisted Candidates, which were very helpful. We ended up being spoiled for choice and we are delighted with the appointment we have made. It was an outstanding service.”

Group Managing Director – UK Corrugated Packaging Group

“Over the years I have worked with a number of recruitment companies, either to source a new role, or recruit. McCourt Newton have been a breath of fresh air compared to others. The brief was accurate, the company information was comprehensive and I felt they fully understood what the Candidate’s role would be and what would be expected from them. I felt the initial meeting with McCourt Newton prior to any interview was extremely beneficial – they know the industry very well and can single out the right candidates to fit the role, rather than send through several CVs that seem to fit! Highly recommended.”

Sales Manager – Paper Based Packaging

“A very professional approach. The whole process was seamless and communication was efficient throughout. All Candidates put forward were acceptable. I have no doubts that I would use McCourt Newton again. It has been a pleasure working with you and I am really happy with the speed of the service and the quality of the final candidate. I have worked with McCourt Newton on ‘both sides of the fence’ now and can say that it has been a great experience on both occasions.”

Managing Director – Packaging Group

“The initial role brief was accurate and thorough. The initial interview was structured, and the Consultant has a style that enables you to articulate your strengths, abilities and experience in a way that makes the best use of your time. The Consultant kept in constant contact with me throughout the process and has not only been invested but supportive. The Consultant encouraged me and had an open and honest approach to recruitment throughout. I cannot stress enough how professional the service has been and the consultant as an individual is an excellent recruiter, seeking out the best in people and supporting them through the process from start to finish. We have remained in close contact throughout the process and I hope that we can continue to be in contact when I start in my new role.”

Sales Director – International Packaging Group

“The service received from the consultant at McCourt Newton was second to none. The Consultant clearly interviews thoroughly and sends on notes to follow up. CVs are always in a good format and the Candidates are prepared for interview well. They offer a professional and overall excellent service and I would recommend to any potential businesses looking to recruit exec positions.”
