I am a highly experienced, Essex-based boutique recruiter, with an honest and clear approach. My specialist area is Accountancy & Finance recruitment. I support SMEs and PLCs across the county.

What sets Transparent apart from the crowd?

Sam was a pleasure to deal with and by far the best recruiter I have come across, not at all pushy like most recruiters. Sam is very personable, informative and responsive. Thank you for all of your help in securing me my new role, I couldn’t be happier ☺️

From our first conversation, Sam was open, honest and extremely pro active. Attention to detail of the highest order, and was happy to take calls whilst away on a family holiday. Would recommend 100%

Sam is not your typical recruiter! She is very responsive and keeps you updated every step of the way; you will never be confused about what stage of the process you are at. She made herself available for all the questions that I had and encouraged me to continue to ask questions to ensure that the role was a good fit for me. She truly is passionate about placing the right candidate to the right job. Thank you Sam for all your help. I would highly recommend Transparent Recruitment Solutions.

After dealing with a number of overbearing recruiters it was an absolute pleasure to deal with Sam. She was professional and supportive throughout the process, keeping me well informed at every stage. Sam aims to satisfy the needs of both the company and the individual by ensuring that the candidate is the right person for the role and also that the role is right for the person. I would highly recommend Transparent Recruitment Solutions.

In addition to skills and experience, Sam places a very high emphasis on personality fit. With her friendly and professional approach, Sam skillfully matches candidate personality with the culture of the recruiting company. I found the whole process extremely well managed and efficient. Sam works really hard to achieve best outcomes for both candidate and employer, rather than just filling a vacancy. I highly recommend Sam of Transparent Recruitment and I look forward to working with Sam again in the future. Thank you Sam.

I worked with Sam on a finance vacancy brief with a very tough turnaround time in London. With direct competition from another agency, Sam provided a good shortlist of candidates and ultimately found the successful candidate. A job well done.

Sam is fantastic, professional with great knowledge. I cannot highly recommend her enough, she has been great all the way. The whole process has been so fast and efficient that I am almost "sad" that it was that quick. I felt like Sam has known me and knew exactly where to forward my CV's too. Her quick responses and feedback has been very efficient and quick. Thank you Sam, wish there would be more people like you.

Highly recommend using Transparent Sam, she is unique in the Essex market, she takes the time to understand not only your needs as a recruiter, but the culture and personalities you are looking to add to the team. Always supported me throughout my career, especially earlier on whilst I was building my career and experience. The trust we have built over the years now makes Transparent my "go to" for recruitment of part qualified & qualified Accountants in Essex.

Sam was amazing in helping me find a new position after I was made redundant due to the Covid pandemic. Sam was extremely friendly and professional, and it was refreshing to talk to a recruiter who listened to my requirements, and seemed to genuinely care about making sure I was assigned to a role that fitted by skills and experience. I would definitely recommend Transparent Recruitment Solutions to anyone looking for a new job in Finance.

I’ve used the services of Transparent numerous times over the past 20 years, predominantly as a recruiter. Sam invests time in understanding not only the role, but also the ethos of the organisation which means I get sent only those candidates that really do fit the profile.

Working with Sam was an absolute pleasure. She provided a professional, efficient service which was also very personable and bespoke to me. Her main objective was to understand my situation and what I wanted so that she could provide the best fit for all. This resulted in encouraging me to go for a promotion which I would never have considered and it’s been the best decision I’ve made in my career. I have a lot to thank her for!

Sam is always my first call from a client and candidate perspective. Her honesty and attention to detail on the skills you need, or requirements from a new role are refreshing and notably absent in her competition. She takes the time to understand what your business needs and works to align that with the candidates she recommends. I’ve had some challenging roles and specific requirements for Sam over the years, and all have been met professionally and with clear industry advice – I look forward to many more opportunities to come!

I would highly recommend Sam if you are lookng to find the next 'perfect' role! She is extremely approachable, highly organised and just a really lovely lady. Unlike many other recruiters, when Sam says she is going to get back to you, she WILL get back to you with feedback whether that be good or bad. I feel its on a much more personal level with Sam and I can't recommend her enough.

Fantastic recruiter, I have known Samantha for 8 years and would highly recommend her. I have used Transparent to find myself a new position but also when I need to recruit in-house. Samantha would definitely be my go to if I was seeking a new role.

What a great recruiter! Not pushy, not difficult, not 'in my face', Sam took the time and effort to understand my requirements in my search for a new role. Although Sam doesn't typically recruit for positions like mine, she could comfortably talk me through the whole process, giving me useful insight to the company and position, and thankfully I am with them today! It seems no job is too small for this tenacious recruiter. I've had a number of recruiters get in touch over my time in agency recruitment and she is one of a small handful who I am happy to recommend! Thank you Sam!

Samantha is an extremely hardworking, dedicated professional. Her commitment, passion and enthusiasm for her work is simply outstanding. Samantha is a pleasure to work with both as a client and as a candidate. Her personality is infectious, a fun loving bubbly character that is impossible not to like. Her determination to succeed and drive to move forward will always mean that Samantha is top of her game. As a candidate, Samantha actually listens to what you are looking for and doesn’t just put you forward for anything that becomes available. She considers your individual needs and manages to find perfectly matched positions. As a client, I have employed several candidates put forward from Samantha, each have been exactly the criteria I had been looking for. I would not hesitate in recommending Samantha as a recruitment professional. I have the upmost respect for Samantha and I value the time I have been privilege enough to spend working with her.

Samantha is my "go to person" for recruitment and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional and personal approach to recruitment. Samantha stands out as someone who genuinely cares about your recruitment needs and takes the time to fully understand each role before embarking on hopefully fulfilling the brief. Samantha treats the client / candidate relationship as more of a marriage, ensuring a good fit rather than just achieving a fee. Much like finding a great builder, once you've found a great recruitment consultant you hold on to them for life!
