⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review I had a fantastic experience working with TML Partners during the recruitment process for a new role. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly supportive, transparent, and genuinely helpful. Her communication was always clear and timely, and she made every step of the journey feel smooth and well-guided. Emma is a true professional and an absolute credit to TML Partners. I couldn’t recommend her — or the company — more highly.

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!

"My whole experience with tml Partners and specifically Hannah the recruiter for my position was first class. The approach to ensure really clear alignment between what I was looking for and the role was in place from the 1st phone call right through to the end of the process. Hannah kept me up to date throughout the whole process, was a brilliant support both pre and post interviews and a great liaison with my new company. I really appreciated the additional check ins prior to key interview days. Would highly recommend both as a candidate but also as a hiring manager to consider tml Partners."

"My experience with TML Recruitment Agency has always been exceptional across the board, but I specifically would like to single out Khushi Patel. From our first interaction, Khushi demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that truly sets her apart in the recruitment industry. In the years since, what continues to impress me most is her deep understanding of the marketing and communications landscape. She takes the time to thoroughly understand experience, specialised skills, and strategic capabilities before suggesting relevant opportunities. Her advice is always on point, practical, and tailored. I highly recommend TML Recruitment Agency, and specifically Khushi Patel, to any marketing and communications professional looking to advance their career.and/or grow their teams."

My experience working with tml partners has been a very positive one. The search consultant was thoroughly researched, very much on top of her client's brief, genuinely interested in motivation - both for the role and longer term career- timely and crystal clear on steps to be taken. She was also open about the client's focus and key considerations. I found that because of her preparation and thought given to candidate's aspirations, trust and rapport were easily established and sustained. This reflected very well on the client and tml partners.

"I was fortunate to be recommended to Selina and her team at tml Partners while exploring the next step in my career. From our very first conversation, Selina's approach stood out. She genuinely listened, taking the time to understand my career journey to date and what the ideal senior commercial sales leadership role would look like for me. Selina went beyond surface-level discussions, delving deeply into what drives and motivates me. She offered invaluable coaching on my personal brand and positioning, helping me to clarify and articulate my professional strengths. Together, we not only identified current opportunities but also mapped out a list of target firms that aligned with my aspirations. Thanks to Selina's guidance, persistence, and strategic insight, I secured a meeting with the CMO of a targeted firm I had long admired. That meeting opened the door to a truly exciting opportunity, with the organisation recognising how my skills and experience could contribute significant value during a period of growth and transformation. I am immensely grateful to Selina for her expertise, unwavering support, and genuine care throughout the process – it was seamless and empowering! Selina is not just a market leader in executive search – she is a true partner who consistently goes above and beyond. Thank you, Selina, for giving me the confidence, clarity, and encouragement to pursue my dream role… I'm excited about what lies ahead!"

Have known the excellent Selina @ TML partners for some time now. Always impressed by her attention to detail, responsiveness, humour and "can do" attitude. If only all recruiters were such a pleasure to interact with. Recommended from a candidate experience PoV.
