Alium’s approach makes sound business sense: their people gave us the experience we needed to direct us through a major change initiative, with a strong return on investment.
Head of Change, Thames Water

Alium responded with great cycle time, from the point of understanding the brief to delivery of a number of equally suitable candidates. The continuous contact with me until a selection decision was made was both frequent and added value as we discussed the merits and demerits of each person. The whole process was professional and rapid.
Human Resources Director, Laing O’Rourke

Alium responded brilliantly to our request for help with a senior interim HRD for one of our major businesses putting forward candidates at very short notice who not only matched the specification perfectly but were also able to commence the assignment in the timescale required. Alium's support throughout the whole process was also very professional. I will not hesitate in using their services again.
Group HRD, Cape plc

It was impressive how quickly Alium was able to find me a well-qualified interim manager who rapidly took control of the project. She immediately gained the respect and support of her colleagues and lifted the morale in the team.
HR Director, Spie Matthew Hall

I have known the HR practice at Alium for several years and they have always been able to quickly identify and supply effective interim manager talent to cover my short-term resourcing needs.
SVP GHR Global Reward & Performance, Allianz SE

Throughout Alium handled the assignment in a highly professional, efficient, and sensitive manner. The client brief was comprehensive and accurate; the role match was good; the contract negotiations were smooth and considerate; ongoing contact and support were helpful but not intrusive; and in general our relationship was constructive, friendly, and fruitful.
Interim Head of Inward Investment, Business Growth & Trade, Development Agency

Alium listened to our challenging requirements and clarified our needs. In less than a month an interim manager had started and was already making a positive impact. Four months into the assignment we are seeing measurable results and he has become an integral part of our management team.
CEO, Stingray Geophysical Limited

Alium were very much there in the background, checking up on how it was going, providing support when necessary and often just being there to listen when things were particularly challenging. They clearly had a good understanding of how it was for interim managers and were always open and honest.
HR Director, London Development Agency

My experience of working through Alium has been entirely positive. Their Account Director briefed me fully on the role before initial interview and personal objectives were formally agreed with the client at the outset. Alium then kept in regular touch with the client during the assignment. This served to reinforce the sense that Alium had the clients longer term interests at heart, not simply the need to ensure that they were getting good value for money from a short term solution.
Senior HR Business Partner, London Development Agency

My assignment was set up and managed throughout in a highly professional manner. My introduction to the Trust was well prepared. My account director made sure that a clear brief was drawn up and reviewed with the client in the early weeks, and progress monitored at appropriate points later on. A contract was agreed and issued very promptly, and subsequent payments were made in the timeliest way I have yet experienced. Clear and helpful feedback was also obtained for me as the assignment drew to a close. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience which I look forward to repeating.
Programme Director, Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust

In a challenging environment undergoing extensive change and subject to demanding growth targets Alium has provided us with an interim senior executive of a calibre and experience which is enabling us to achieve our objectives. Following a thorough, diligent and professional initial engagement Alium proposed a diverse number of prospective candidates which reflected the effort it had taken to research our business and understand its underlying fundamental dynamics. The individual selected was not drawn from our sector of activity, nonetheless his combination of skills and qualification has enabled him to achieve rapid impact releasing other resource to focus on key strategic tasks. I will look to Alium in the future when critical posts must be filled.
Group Operations Officer, TripleArc plc

Alium are very professional in all departments of their business. A good working relationship quickly formed and I felt they really understood my offer. I look forward to working with the team again on future assignments. It has been a pleasure to work with Alium on this assignment. The project was well matched to my skill set and previous experiences. Clear project deliverables were agreed up front with both Alium and the client and I had several review sessions with the Consultant along the way to ensure everything was going according to plan. I felt that help and advice was available at any time if I had needed it.
Interim Finance Director, Health Business

Alium is by far and away the most professional interim recruiter I have come across to date.
