We have found it a challenge to identify a search partner that has a true specialisation in the Chemical market and harder still to find a partner with a focus on Coatings. Hamden offers dedicated support in both and this is reflected in the relevancy of their shortlists and the quality of their candidates.
Whether it’s an executive, senior commercial, technical or corporate vacancy, I would have no hesitation in partnering with Hamden in the future and would highly recommend them.
