Testimonials
‘As a daughter of a headhunter, I am usually sceptical when someone approaches me for a new job. Unfortunately, most headhunters that approach me have been extremely unprofessional (did not get my name right, did not know anything about the company, contacted me for a completely irrelevant job for my career, etc.). Not so with McCourt Newton and the team. From the very first contact to this feedback questionnaire I am completing right now, everything has been prepared diligently and professionally. The follow-ups were quick, the times set up for the interviews convenient, the information shared complete, and just everything was the way you wish for it to be in such a process. I am looking forward to my new job. A big “thank you” to McCourt Newton.’ – Business Development Manager – Metal Packaging Manufacturer
“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 also 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 <
“As a candidate looking for my next challenge, I was extremely impressed with the level of service received from McCourt Newton from initial email to offer receipt.

“A very professional approach. The whole process was seamless, 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- Walki UK
“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 candidates 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, can single out the right candidates to fit the role- not just sent through several CV’s that seem to fit! Highly recommended.” Sales Manager – Paper Based Packaging

I had a great experience with McCourt Newton, helpful, informative, professional. Great to have updates throughout the process too. Highly recommend. Completely stress free recruitment process.” Business Development Manager Primary School Catering.
“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 long list and a very high quality shortlist. As part of this we were provided with detailed interview notes on the short listed 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
“Very professional with the right balance of contact. Good understanding of the role requirements and our company. Sharon met all timelines as agreed right from our very first conversation regarding the placement.” – HR Manager RPC Bramlage Division
“There were no areas of the recruitment process that were not of a high standard.

“Lynn is a credit to the recruitment industry. Not only did she spend time in completely understanding the requirements of the business and applies thought and innovation to source the most suitable candidate, she also keeps in touch regularly as industry opportunities arise which can mutually benefit her clients.
