What Our Clients Say

We have worked with Talent Locker for many years. They have always been able to find me some really great people to work in our team and their ability to understand our requirements gives Talent Locker a real edge in ensuring they match the right candidates to the right jobs.

Nicola Hall - Managing Director

I've worked with Martyn for over ten years and have always found him to be highly professional, providing high quality candidates for a variety of roles. I'm more than happy to recommend him.

Grant Mason - Director, Enterprise Business Solutions

I worked with Sarah to find a suitable Project Manager for our D365 Nav implementation. We were looking for proven success with a track record within ERP implementations. The two candidates both ticked all boxes. I've enjoyed working with Sarah and Talent Locker, they really do understand the requirements well, and only put forward quality candidates.

Dave Jones - CIO

Martyn works hard to establish our needs and only recommends candidates whose profile is a close match. Talent Locker simply understand the relationship between customer and supplier. Nothing is too much trouble, the candidates are a close fit, things get done on time with no apparent pressure, but we always move forward at a good pace and get results.
