Our Approach to Executive Search

Earlier this year, I was looking for a new role: a very specific role with certain conditions. Without hesitation, I contacted Yvonne from Cloud 9 as I knew of her extensive experience and reputation within packaging recruitment. I was very clear on what I wanted in a new employer. I had specifics to meet. This was a meaningful move for me, a commitment for the long term, so it was crucial the process was done right, and handled properly. From the outset, it was clear Yvonne was working hard for me. She had my back. She wanted to understand me, get to know me, support me and ultimately, her aim was to place me in a role, within a business that was completely aligned - for all parties. I felt like I was important to her and the business: that my choosing them to represent me was appreciated. And this also was felt by me from the wider team as well as Yvonne. Communication was the highest standard. Support unwavering. The result - I am now in a brilliant position, with a brand leader, in manufacturing, whose culture, approach and people are congruent with my values. If you are a candidate looking to secure your next position within the packaging industry, I encourage you to speak to Yvonne today. I could not have made this move, so smoothly, so swiftly and so brilliantly without Yvonne and Cloud 9.”

“We worked recently with Cloud 9 to recruit a senior operations role. Yvonne understood the brief, not just the ability but the cultural fit for our business. She was then able to utilise her industry experience and network to provide a suitable range of candidates, and we found the ideal candidate from those she had shortlisted. I would definitely work with Cloud for future requirements”
