client & candidate testimonials

“No suggested improvements. The service and communication I received were excellent!”

Sales Director – Leading International Flexible Packaging Business

“I would like to discuss a wider role for your company in our operations. Your personal contact and standard of written assessments are of the highest quality.”

Managing Director – Major International Corrugated Packaging Group

“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.”

Sales Director – Paper/Food Service Packaging Manufacturer

“I have to say that so far each and every one of these new members of the team, (5 Director level appointments over the last 18 months), has worked very well for us. It is unusual to have such a successful fit when recruiting on the open market. We have found a great position together, hence you are our lead consultant now for all senior placements in our business in the UK.”

CEO – Major International Packaging Group 

“The service from McCourt Newton was excellent. The Consultant fully understood my requirements and offered a very personal service. Nothing to improve. Any questions that I had were answered in a timely manner and communication was clear. “

Sales Director – Corrugated Packaging.

“I would like to thank you for your help throughout this process. I have to say I think you have been the most diligent and professional resourcing consultant I have ever worked with, either as a candidate or a prospective employer, providing valuable guidance throughout.”

General Manager – Packaging Sector

I have used McCourt Newton for my recruitment needs a number of times over the years. They always provide a first-class service from start to finish and have always sourced the right person for the role. Unlike a lot of the competition, they actually give you the specification of candidate that you ask them for. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Managing Director – Packaging Sector

McCourt Newton are experienced recruiters in their field with a long and successful history delivering candidates in multiple sectors. The consultant is one of the most professional recruiters I have met and had the pleasure to deal with. McCourt Newton provide an in-depth knowledge and understanding of their client’s requirement. The Consultant is very thorough and precise in how they tackle assignments providing the candidate with a detailed understanding of the client’s requirements. The candidate care is exemplary and provides a continuous stream of coaching throughout the entire process.

General Manager – Packaging Sector

“Starting out with a really complex brief, McCourt Newton clearly grasped this extremely well, provided an initial list of strong candidates from a variety of sources and did a great job of interviewing them to find the exceptional ones and put them forward for interview.  During the whole process, they were in constant and timely communication with me giving me the confidence that I was always going to be on top of the game and be assured of not missing an opportunity with the strongest candidates who understandably had several other companies chasing them also.  I would not hesitate to use McCourt Newton again in the future or to recommend them to others.”

Lean Enterprise Director – Packaging

“The whole recruitment process was handled very professionally, but with a human touch, in these difficult times, with regular feedback & quick problem solving of any issues. Thank you for helping me secure my ideal role.”

Manufacturing Continuous Improvement Manager – Packaging

“The recruitment process went very smoothly thanks to the Consultant’s engagement and professionalism. The Consultant was also extremely helpful and supportive with the negotiations between two parties. All details and questions were discussed in detail and without delays and I was kept updated throughout the whole process.”

Quality Systems Professional – Metal Beverage Packaging

“Having dealt with two of the McCourt Newton Directors, I have found their services highly professional, dedicated, attentive and very personable. I would have no hesitation in recommending McCourt Newton to both future Clients and Candidates.”
