What people say
Trusted by founders and leaders
"Craig has had an immense impact on Benifex, he has been a trusted partner to me over the past 2 years, and I am so grateful for his huge impact on Benifex and the People team. He has created a world class Talent Acquisition team and had a big input into our approach around careers, competency frameworks and how we embed our culture in all we do."
"We felt Confido really understood what it meant to represent an impact/not-for-profit business and how to attract great people. The amount of work that went into each recruit was immense, the advice we received from Confido was golden, and even our candidates commented on how positively different it was working with Confido."
"Craig is the Best Head of Talent I have EVER worked with. Coming in to no systems, structure or strategy he has changed the game for how we hire. He's challenged us, as a business and as hiring managers, to raise the bar on how we recruit and the results speak for themselves: an incredibly speedy process, brilliant candidate NPS and a fast time-to-effectiveness for new people. Oh and he's delightful to work with."
"Working with Confido was amazing. The things I appreciated most were the diligence and flexibility. They held us accountable throughout the entire process to make it was a great experience for candidates as well. I'm looking forward to welcoming our new team members soon and working with Craig as we continue to grow."
"I've had the pleasure of working closely with Craig as our Head of Talent Acquisition, and I can confidently say he's had a big impact on our hiring strategy. From day one, Craig has levelled up the calibre of talent we've brought into the business and how we think about hiring."
"We needed to scale a small startup team about 3x in a short space of time but didn't want to compromise on the quality of candidates. We'd tried alternative recruitment arrangements but hadn't seen results until we engaged Confido."
"Unmind needed to double the engineering team in a short time frame. Confido quickly calibrated on what we needed and we saw hires made within the first few weeks. If you're a startup looking to scale quickly without sacrificing on values alignment or diversity, then I would highly recommend Confido."
"Confido have been a true partner to us over the last 18 months, both in advice and execution for a number of key hires across the engineering and product teams. I'd recommend them highly to anyone needing to scale up their product and engineering functions."
