Intelligent People Ltd

Thanks Jess for your brilliant support and communication during the interview process. You made it really easy and efficient and allowed me to focus on the most important part - getting the role! I found the role advertised by IP through LinkedIn and would definitely recommend working with them as a candidate.

One of the best recruitment experiences we've had for digital talent. The team at IP really take the time to understand what you're looking for before engaging with candidates, and when speed is of the essence, they deliver quickly but with quality, ensuring limited time is wasted with candidates that aren't relevant. I will certainly use them again.

One of the best firms out there in UK if you are looking for product hires. No BS and straight to the point. There is a reason why best product firms prefer them over others. I have had the best experience with them and would recommend any one who is looking for product role or to hire a product person for their firm. They are transparent and try to find the best fit for the firm and candidate.

A recruitment agency like no other. Honest and friendly consultants - guiding you and helping you through out the long recruitment process. From the start to the end of the process the recruitment consultants I worked with were extremely professional.

Put simply my go-to for product hires. I've been on both sides (IP have placed me in a new role as well as helped me recruit candidates multiple times, most recently as CPO of a marketplace), and they have always been honest, professional and considerate balancing the needs of candidates with those of the hiring company. For my recent search- in a very difficult market- they were my first (and as it turned out only needed) port of call and helped me land the perfect PM for the role who's doing a fantastic job.

The process was simple and straightforward, the shortlist exactly what i wanted and the advice along the way (salary benchmarks, candidate 1 vs candidate 2 thought partnering etc) was invaluable and refreshing in the scrappy world of recruitment. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to hire at any level in product or indeed as a recruiter to work with as a candidate.

We have had the pleasure of working with Intelligent People for the past 6 years, and also previously at a former agency. Besides sourcing both freelancers and permanent staff, Doug and Chris have gone above and beyond to help us in matters relating to the business and have really helped add value to our agency. Absolutely recommend Chris, Doug and their team.

Reviewing as a candidate: Chris contacted me about a role outside of London, something I'd previously never considered. However, after speaking with him and the company I was incredibly happy to accept the role. After a few months going through the process during a global pandemic and facing uncertainty, I was made to feel very comfortable and was kept fully up to date with any changes. I'd highly recommend Chris and Intelligent People!

I've worked with Doug for almost a decade and trusted him (and his team at Intelligent People) to help me build product teams in that time. Doug takes the time to understand both the brief and the culture of teams I lead so that you get the right mix of "people that fit" and "people that challenge" (in a good way). Candidates he brings to interview are worth the effort to meet and the hit rate of superstars is good. Doug also understands when to take the time on a process and when a process has to move quickly - businesses don't always need to go at 100mph but it's good to have a partner who can drive things when you need to. And he has a great name.

Chris and Doug placed me in an early Web Developer role back in 2007. Since then I have gone on to build my own agency and now Intelligent People is a client of ours. Chris and Doug are the same honest, personable and down to earth guys as they were over a decade ago and their team is based on the same values. I can't recommend Intelligent People enough as both a specialist recruiter and as great clients. Keep up the good work.

Working with Chris at Intelligent People has been a real pleasure. Very knowledgeable and understanding - he helped me navigating a new opportunity seamlessly. Highly recommend them if you are looking for a new role.
