Since joining Bloomsbury in March 2021, I have been working closely with Jennie Hooper and the Inspired Selection team as preferred agency partners. I have found Jennie and the team to not only be knowledgeable across the publishing sector, but also efficient, friendly and we have forged a real working partnership. They have gone above and beyond to support myself and the hiring managers in our search for the right fit for Bloomsbury and they rise to any challenge we put to them! Inspired Selection have made several key placements with us and I look forward to a continued successful relationship with the Inspired Selection team.

Bloomsbury Publishing
HR Manager

Inspired Selection have consistently delivered high quality candidates across a wide range of roles that we've used them to recruit for. I'm particularly impressed with the professional way that Verity and her team take time to understand the brief and focus their search on exactly the high calibre of talent that we are looking for at Sumdog. Out of all the agencies we have used, Inspired is the one that we know will get results from. I highly recommend them.

Sumdog
CEO

Esme has provided excellent service in helping our team recruit for various editorial roles. She has taken the time to really get to know what we are looking at, and only sent candidates our way that were suitable for the positions we were looking to fill. Personable as well as professional, I hope to have the chance to work with Esme again in the future.

The International Institute for Strategic Studies
Editorial Services Manager

I reached out to Alice Bidetti for a difficult task finding a new colleague in Scandinavia. She was very professional in her approach and did a very good analysis around my needs for the job-position. Alice quickly came back with a short-list of candidates and they all were very qualified. We ended up hiring one of her findings. I can highly recommend working together with Alice and will not hesitate to use her again.

SAGE Publishing
N. European Sales Manager

Abigail has been absolutely a delight to work with.  Her expertise, professionalism and detail analysis of each candidate presented was outstanding.  Abigail went above and beyond with her time and efforts in building relationship with more than one contact with those involved with the recruitment.  We have been really impressed and I have worked with many exec recruiters and I can say Abigail has been one of the best.  Her personality is knowledge is an asset.
