What people have said...
"All thanks to Dave, I'm almost a month into my new job and I haven't looked back once. Even though the new role had a lot of requirements, Dave was confident in me and guided me through the entire process start-to-finish, including giving me plenty of help with the interview. His communication throughout was paramount to me sticking at it; he would call and/or email me whenever he had an update, or simply wanted to check-in and see how I was doing.
I can't thank Dave enough for being such a rock-solid partner through the process and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a change of job“

Having not spoken to David before, he was able to quickly understand where I was in my career while making me feel I was in a safe pair of hands on the first call we had. From this call through to my first week with my new company, over 4 months, he kept in contact with me, kept me excited about the role and most of all treated me as a partner in the process and not a commodity."

"David reached out to me with a very attractive job opportunity back in January. He communicated the appeal of the company to me like no other recruiter has before, demonstrating a clear understanding of the company’s fantastic culture and way of working. He knew of many of the company’s best attributes and could put them into words precisely and succinctly. David was there for me as a friendly mentor throughout the interview process and beyond., I couldn’t be more thankful to David for introducing me to my new employer and for his guidance along the way."

"Dave contacted me with news of an exciting QA Engineer role which at first I wasn't sure if I was up to it, from reading the requirements. David spent some time taking me through the details of the role and not only convinced me that I had nothing to lose by going for it but that I was indeed able to match most of the requirements and with the right training, would be more than capable of making a go of the rest. So I went for it and fortunate enough to have got the job and am now really enjoying both the challenges and exciting new culture that the role offers"

David has been the ultimate recruitment professional throughout the entire process. He has kept to his word regarding communication and all other commitments made. I have found David to be extremely helpful, honest and diligent in all dealings, it literally felt like I was receiving a bespoke recruitment journey. What I valued most was the complete understanding and appreciation of the technical nature of the role and how to bring those skills to the fore. Thanks for helping me start a new chapter in my professional career.

It doesn’t feel like just another recruitment agency, but that he genuinely cares about your success and the companies that are looking to recruit. At the time I wasn’t particularly looking to actively move role but the way all the details were presented to me made it an easy seamless process - nothing but a very good experience all round, thanks again David

"Dave provides a refreshing approach to recruitment, always living by his mantra of 'It's a people business'. He is results focused and a good judge of character, which is so crucial to successful recruitment - going the extra mile to understand the needs of both client and candidate. Unlike some in the industry Dave works on maintaining relationships for the long term not just when there is a role to fill! "
Senior Project Manager
Fintech, Cardiff
"As a junior in the IT industry some 15 years ago, Dave was the first recruitment manager who actively took an interest in my career pathway without pushing his own agenda and helped me secure what became the next step on my Agile journey. He took time to understand who I was as a person to ensure that not only was I qualified for the position he was putting me forward for, but that I was a good cultural fit as well. Because of his approach, Dave and I have remained in contact for the entirety of my career, often working together on industry projects and pushing to be active within the IT community. As a candidate looking for a new role or as a business looking to bring in the very best talent, I would recommend Dave relentlessly."
Director
Agile Services, Cardiff
“Having just passed my 6-month probation in my new role as a Service Desk Analyst, I would like to thank David for his continued support and guidance at a time when I was feeling very low. He helped in restoring my confidence and showed belief in my ability, and I am extremely grateful. I have joined a great company in Monmouthshire Building Society, both working closely with my IT colleagues and other members of the company from branch staff up to executive level. I’ve always believed that customer service is just as essential to IT as technical knowledge, and this new job has allowed me to embrace both. There’s a lot of learning to be done, but I believe I’m in the right place. Thank you again.”
Service Desk Analyst

I’d like to start this testimonial by sharing that Sadler Recruitment is the first Recruitment company that I felt was there to personally support me in my quest to progress my career to the next step. This alone is testament to the great work Dave does, as sadly, the recruitment market is saturated with many looking to improve their P&L, and this is what makes Sadler recruitment unique. A true family feel.
Throughout the whole process, you are provided with expert support and guidance, and throughout it all, I have met a friend – and I look forward to watching Sadler Recruitment grow as it supports the next generation of tech leaders in the South Wales and surrounding arears. In short, highly recommend the friendly and supportive service from Dave – unequivocally best in class!

"From beginning to end the support and communication I was given by David was incredible. David was diligent, supportive and always responded in a timely manner. He took the time and went the extra step to talk and give guidance and support on the role, industry, interview process and anything else I asked about. I was given updates at every step and even after securing the role he made sure I was settled and the onboarding process was going smoothly. By far the best experience I have had with a recruiter and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Thank you again David"

I had the pleasure of working with Dave back in 2014 when I wanted to go from a junior to service delivery management. Dave at that stage held an honest conversation, revamped my CV and it got me on the progression ladder.
Fast forward 2022 our paths crossed again when I was searching for a new role. Dave understood my skills and put me through a mock interview. Even on the day of my interview, tips were flying at me! I secured one of greatest career moves thanks to Dave. Dave is exceptional from start to end.
