John Blakeley, Calyx, Chief Commercial Officer

“I wanted to make sure that whoever was going to take on this huge project was someone with the commitment we needed to achieve the scalability and someone that we could trust. I knew that the Spencer Group was that partner. The fact that 20 years later we are still working with a trusted partner is testament to the fact that it works.”

Dan Beaudry, Cluepoints, Senior Vice President, Customer Success

“Spencer Group was the natural choice for a recruitment partner because we know what they can bring to the table. CluePoints has used Spencer Group before – I myself was headhunted into the company by the Spencer Group, back in 2014 – and I was very supportive of using them again. Trust in the process definitely came into it. We knew that it would be robust and objective, that they would ensure we didn’t take any shortcuts, and that they would get it right. We also knew that they would provide a quick and efficient build out, and that they would be able to spin a lot of plates. When all this was happening, we were a very small company, and we needed to complete the programme in parallel to continuing to scale. Time was short, so having a trusted partner we knew we could empower to be across a lot of the detail was very comforting.”
