Testimonials

"I have worked with Dee for several years – both as the leader of a progressive pricing and analytics team within a large Lloyd’s Managing Agent, and as the founder of my own technology business. Irrespective of the size and scale of the company she works with, Dee’s stand-out qualities remain the same:

She is extremely responsive, open and honest
Her work is always considered and tailored to requirements and never “cookie-cutter” or “pile ‘em high”

These are rare qualities in her market.

I have used Dee’s individual candidate sourcing services as well as her unique assessment framework – both have worked very well for me in the past.

More than anything else, I trust Dee and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a recruitment partner."

Amrit Santhirasenan - CEO, Hyperexponential

“Dee goes on a journey with each person involved in the recruitment process, she always keeps Verisk and the candidates up to date and uses a very thorough and productive methodology. Bare Recruitment show a true commitment to quality in their recruitment, and is a business that I can genuinely trust with Verisk's recruitment. Bare’s assessment day process is meticulous, every one that has been held for us has had a 100% success rate with the majority of candidates still working for us today. I would not hesitate in recommending Dee and Bare Recruitment; indeed Dee has already made placements with some of our clients where we have recommended they work with her.”

Andy Galli - CFO, Verisk Specialty Business Solutions

"From the moment I was introduced to Dee, I was impressed with her knowledge of the London Market and her obvious experience in sourcing the right type of candidate. Having recently been through the “traditional” recruitment process with agencies and their “scattergun” approach to sending countless inappropriate CVs for a development role I was looking to fill, it was refreshing to work with someone who clearly knows her stuff.

Following an initial briefing at our London offices, Dee was able to use this to source a number of potential candidates. “Bare” carried out all the pre-screening of candidates via an online selection process which resulted in a follow-up assessment day featuring 12 would-be candidates for the 2 configurer roles for which I was recruiting. Bare facilitated the entire first half of the day to whittle these down to the strongest 6 which I then interviewed on a one-to-one basis. Given the nature and very niche positioning of these roles, I honestly feel it would not have been possible to source suitable candidates of the calibre of those presented to me via the “CV across the desk” method; indeed it was very difficult to select the strongest 2 without feeling that we were letting some excellent candidates walk away empty handed. This – I’m convinced - is testament to Dee’s expertise and experience through her connections to the Graduate marketplace – and Bare’s experience and knowledge of the Market.

I wouldn’t hesitate to engage with Bare Recruitment in order to fulfil similar roles in the future."

“Bare Recruitment was recommended to Neon Underwriting by the Head of IT and Business Change from another London Market insurance company. The team at Bare Recruitment tailored an assessment day to suit our needs and succeeded in presenting us with strong candidates, and we gained a high-calibre new member of the team as a part of the process. We were very impressed with Bare’s knowledge of the market, and their professionalism and diligence leading up to/ and on the assessment day.

It was a pleasure to work with the team at Bare Recruitment and I would highly recommend them to other insurers.”
