I can honestly say that he has never put forward a poor performer
I have worked with Charlie and Taylor Bolam for over fifteen years. What differentiates Charlie from the competition is that unlike the big-name recruiters, he always puts candidates forward based upon not just their experience, but their personal and cultural fit with me and my teams – with Taylor Bolam it has always been about quality, not quantity. Charlie has great intuition as to whether somebody ‘gets’ or ‘fits’ retail (or other sectors), and having interviewed dozens of his candidates, I can honestly say that he has never put forward a poor performer. From my own experience, I can vouch that Charlie always undertakes detailed background checks on candidates, speaking with former colleagues or associates before putting them before his clients. This leads to him achieving a higher placement rate than any other recruiter I have worked with. Even when Charlie is not directly recruiting, he is always willing to act as a sounding board and freely offers support advice on recruitment and colleague matters, and has been a valued asset to every company I have worked for”

Always take the time to fully understand our requirements
I've been working with Charlie and his team for almost 10 years now. They always take the time to fully understand our requirements and has never failed to find us great candidates that fit our profile in terms of skills and experience; but just as importantly "Cultural Fit". Taylor Bolam is our "go to" agency for all our Procurement recruitment needs and will continue to be so. We have a number of incumbent "Charlies Angels" in the team presently and I'm certain more will follow.
