I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Hannah Jenns at TML Partners in my capacity as a potential candidate for a senior marketing role she was fulfilling. From the outset Hannah demonstrated a deep understanding of B2B marketing roles which established her credibility, and enabled us to have a meaningful conversation. Throughout the process, she asked considered and great questions! she provided constructive feedback, and I genuinely felt she was working for me not only her client. It is clear Hannah has a great relationship with her client’s in-house talent team. She passionately explained the business, was knowledgeable about the team and is a valuable advocate for them. I appreciated the extra effort Hannah took to check in before and after interviews. Would highly recommend Hannah both to candidates and organisations in the B2B marketing space.

Emma was absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish. She took the time to jump on calls throughout the process and was always available to answer any questions I had about the company and role. Her guidance, professionalism, and genuine support made a huge difference — she really went above and beyond and made herself indispensable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I truly hope all of my future career opportunities come through Emma!
