Ian found Simon our Finance Director for us having tracked his career for a number of years. Simon was one of a number of highly competent candidates that Ian presented to us, all of whom would have fitted the bill in terms of their ability to do the job, giving us the ability to make our selection for all the right reasons. Simon was looking for a company like ours and so in many ways it was a marriage made in heaven. Ian worked with us to get the brief right so that we did not have to ask difficult questions later (which was excellent since over 150 people applied for the position). I would freely recommend threesixty to anyone who is embarked on the sometimes expensive and potentially frustrating journey of executive search.
