Testimonials

“Steven has helped us hire some of our best journalists over the last 8 years.  He listens to what we require, makes suggestions and pre-selects candidates for us to consider.  He makes the process smooth and we know that when they come through Steven they will really contribute once they’ve joined.  I have no hesitation recommending him.”

Tony Gibson – Chief Executive, Field Gibson Media

“Steven Shephard understands the long-term value of relationships and makes every effort to get to know his clients. He certainly has got to know our editorial operation very well and become a trusted partner and advisor to our business. The service he offers is highly professional, and we value his ability to identify journalistic talent for PEI not just in the UK but also overseas.”

Philip Borel – Group Editorial Director,
 PEI Media

“It was a big decision for us to use a recruitment company for the first time this year, as we are a relatively small company operating on a tight budget. However, I can honestly say I’m delighted with the result achieved for us. Steven Shephard has a real knack at getting to know a company’s requirements and modus operandi, and matching these almost exactly with relevant candidates. His knowledge of the publishing industry and connections with an excellent pool of talented candidates ensured that we found the two candidates we were looking for without any trouble at all. This is especially impressive as our requirements were relatively complicated: we were looking for candidates who were either based in Australia or willing to move there to fill the roles. I would have no hesitation in contacting Sync Recruitment again, next time we are looking for journalists.”

Samantha Swiss – Chief executive, KangaNews

“We have worked with Steven for over seven years during which he has sourced a number of outstanding reporters for us that have advanced to senior positions. He has an excellent understanding of our needs and a knack for unearthing talented candidates.”

Robert Schach – Managing Editor, Debtwire Europe.

“Steven Shephard has consistently demonstrated its ability to source excellent candidates for IFR and provides an excellent service to go with it. Steven clearly understands our business and knows what we are looking for. Of the recruitment firms I have dealt with as editor of IFR, his has proved by far the most effective and Steven has been a joy to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending the firm.”
