I would like to thanks Claire Carrington-Smith for all her help and support in getting my new role. I initially contacted Atwood Tate after seeing an ad on their site, and then spoke with Claire directly for all future correspondence and vacancies. She kept me in the loop throughout my recruitment journey and was so easy to talk with at each stage, which was hugely appreciated. I cannot thank her enough, and I would definitely recommend Atwood Tate as a result! Candidate Leanne Burke (placed as Production Controller at DK) – September 2021
Atwood Tate and in particular Claire Carrington-Smith and Karine Nicpon were excellent in their approach and professionalism in helping me to succeed in gaining a role with Canongate Publishing. Both consultants were very structured and diligent in their approach and provided a very personal and professional service.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Atwood Tate to anyone either looking to change or advance their career. Should I wish to change role in the future, Atwood Tate would be my first point of contact! Candidate Anita Auch, placed in HR role July 2021.
The consultant I worked with was Claire Carrington-Smith and she was absolutely fantastic. I applied for my new role through the agency rather than Atwood Tate finding something for me, though I feel confident Claire would have done her best to place me in a fitting role. She’s such a nice and approachable person that I felt very comfortable throughout the whole hiring process, I would definitely use Atwood Tate again. Candidate Abby Buttery, placed as Sales Executive at Leo Paper, April 2021.

I am very grateful to both Claire Carrington-Smith and Karine Nicpon at Atwood Tate for helping me find an incredible opportunity in these very uncertain times. I have never applied through a recruitment agency before, but I would definitely recommend Atwood Tate to anyone looking for a new role in the publishing industry. Claire and Karine both demonstrated a clear understanding of my experience and the type of role I was looking for, helping me to reach for a position I perhaps would have been less confident in applying for on my own. The team at Atwood Tate are friendly, helpful and understanding, which put me at ease from the very beginning. I received excellent advice, not only on general interviewing tips but also specifically relating to my interview and interviewer. Job-hunting can be a stressful and difficult experience, so if you’re looking for the right help and support then Atwood Tate are the ones to turn to. Candidate Charlie Wilson, placed as Commissioning Editor at Walker Books, March 2021.
I have only good things to say in regard to my work placement by Atwood Tate. I was contacted through LinkedIn and carried on communications through phone and email very effectively. The role was exactly what I was looking for and it was a pleasure to work with Karine. She accompanied all stages of recruitment, which she updated me on regularly. Always offering advice and help whenever needed and checking-in to make sure everything was running well. I could also see the good communication with Human Resources, and I feel that was determinant for the process. I am very happy to recommend Atwood Tate. Sandra Santos (placed as Digital Resources Manager at The Royal Society, January 2021).
I would very much like to thank both Karine Nicpon and Clare Chan at Atwood Tate for helping me find an excellent opportunity in these very unusual times. They really understood my experience and the type of work I was looking for, and I think the job I found is, hopefully, a perfect fit. They were both really friendly, very approachable and understanding, which has not always been my experience when working with recruiters. They gave great advice, not only on general interviewing tips but also specifically to my interview and interviewer.

(Candidate Lee Silvé placed as VLE Product Manager at First Intuition Learning Solutions, August 2020)

It was lovely to meet Karine in person early on in the process, and I appreciated her willingness to spend time with me, understand my background and what I was looking for – and to give me great hints and tips about finding the right role. I am really delighted with my new job and appreciate that Karine was key in such a successful match. Like many companies it must have been challenging for Atwood Tate during the lock-down, but their service didn’t falter, they gave some great ‘virtual interview’ tips, and I would highly recommend them for anyone changing roles or looking for a new start in the publishing industry.

I was contacted on LinkedIn by Claire Carrington-Smith and the message couldn’t have come at a better time. I had just started looking for a new role and the one that Claire found was a perfect fit. Claire was incredibly supportive throughout the application process and kept me updated on my progress. This was especially appreciated when coronavirus resulted in some delays. I am pleased to report that I am now about to start my new job as Portfolio Manager in the educational publishing industry. If you are looking for roles in this area, I highly recommend Claire.

Would definitely recommend Atwood Tate for anyone looking to get into publishing! (Candidate Natasha Healy, December 2019)
It has been a pleasure to receive support from Karine Nicpon and the team at Atwood Tate throughout the recruitment process. Karine gave expert assistance and advice, providing support not just at interview stage but also with negotiating the terms of my new contract.

I highly recommend Karine and Atwood Tate to anyone looking for a new role in the publishing industry. (Candidate David Mantovani), October 2019

I felt supported the entire time, and you were always available and quick to answer any queries or questions. Thank you for all you have done for me, I can honestly say you and the team have changed my life for the better. (Candidate Jenna Redah), October 2019
As a candidate going through the often challenging process of searching for the next role, I feel in such safe and capable hands at Atwood Tate. My agent, Novia Kingshott, is professional, attentive and efficient but, most importantly for me, she treats me like an individual.

It’s clear that her years of experience enable her to take a holistic approach and truly listen to her clients’ needs. I feel really lucky to have found her! (Candidate Sarah Riddell), September 2019
I signed up to Atwood Tate on a friend’s recommendation and I was so glad I did. Karine Nicpon and Parissa Bagheri were both friendly, supportive and full of excellent advice. When you apply for a position through Atwood Tate, you know employers are going to take notice of your application. Interviews started coming in very quickly, and Karine and Parissa walked me through the interview stage to make sure I was as prepared as possible. My current position at an education publisher would not have been possible without the wonderful recruiters from Atwood Tate. (Sarah Yankelowitz, BBP Learning Media), August 2019
I was contacted by Clare Chan at Atwood Tate shortly after applying for a publishing role. Immediately, she arranged a face-to-face meeting to go through my all my preferences. She followed up at every stage of the process with more news and was always enthusiastic and encouraging. Not only did she negotiate an increase on the salary advertised for the role I applied for, but also secured the role for me mere days after I applied. I cannot recommend Clare or Atwood Tate highly enough. (Candidate placed as eBooks Account Executive at Faber & Faber, August 2019)

‘I had a lot of questions when I registered to find work with Atwood Tate, and grateful to have met one of their consultants who was patient, understanding and knowledgeable in answering them all. The registration process was all very straight forward and I left feeling understood on the sort of work I would be suitable for and well supported in preparing for interviews. After being out of work for such a long time I thought it would hinder my career prospects but it was never an issue, and extremely grateful to have now found the type of work I was looking for, thank you Clare and Atwood Tate. (Candidate placed as Production Controller at Arcturus Publishing, May 2019)
I am very impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness of Clare Chan of Atwood Tate in her approach to help secure my next role. Clare’s personality is fabulous, she is very approachable, conscientious and understanding. I applied for a role on one of the job sites and Clare contacted me soon afterwards with more details, explaining that she would be putting me forward. A few days later, she also asked if I would like to apply for another slightly different role within the same organisation, which I was happy to do. In the end, I had 3 interviews for the initial role and each time, Clare was there with words of encouragement and tips for the interview. I received an offer and we negotiated a higher salary too. This role sounds like the perfect job for me – I am so grateful to Clare for being a big part of this whole journey. Clare is a credit to Atwood Tate. (Candidate placed as Project Manager at British Standards Institute, May 2019)
It can be a daunting task look for your first job in publishing – but Clare and Atwood Tate couldn’t have been more helpful! I’ve ended up with exactly the kind of job that I wanted and the experience and timeline was amazing. (Candidate placed as Assistant Production Controller at Arcturus Publishing Limited, May 2019)
From the point of view of a jobseeker, I have to say the journey with Atwood Tate and Novia could not have been more seamless. I have waited a long time to have the opportunity to move to London to pursue a career in publishing and when I could finally achieve this, the job hunt itself turned out to be — as I am sure you are aware — disheartening and exhausting. Novia, however, took those worries and parcelled them up in a neat box of distant memory. From our first phone call, she was a delight. Organised, respectful and efficient, she felt immediately trustworthy. I have met with people who make you feel like just another number, or a professional target for them to reach, but Novia is kind and affable who is truly interested in her candidates well-being. This makes a huge difference to a company’s appearance and I will be recommending Atwood Tate to any and every one who will listen. I honestly cannot thank her and you enough for the service you provide — ’tis the elixir of dreams. (Candidate placed as Temp Customer Service Administrator/Executive at Bloomsbury Publishing, April 2019)

Catherine Roney was an excellent recruiter and supported and advised me through my entire recruitment process: helpful tips for the first video interview, travel advice and preparation for the final interview, salary negotiations and final contract. I strongly recommend her and Atwood Tate to other candidates. (Candidate placed as Higher Education Field Sales Representative at Independent Higher Education Publishing, March 2019)

They were heavily involved throughout the interview process and I found their guidance and support invaluable. The best thing about Atwood Tate is that they truly cared about me and my career. I’d recommend them to anyone! (Candidate placed as Sales and Operations Assistant at APA Publications, by Parissa Bagheri, Feb 2019)
Prior to signing up with Atwood Tate, I had never worked with a recruitment agency so I really didn’t know what to expect. Upon registering online I was soon contacted with a vacancy that was suggested would match my skills. I soon met with Clare for a discussion about what I was looking for in my career and current goals, and I was so impressed by her friendly and welcoming nature and felt like she understood my needs and questions completely. Clare made me feel like a priority throughout the interview process and was quick to answer any questions I had. She was readily available, and made the interview process much smoother with her words of advice and professionalism in forwarding my questions to the company promptly. With Clare’s assistance, I managed to get the job, and firmly believe I wouldn’t have done it without her. I am incredibly thankful to her, and Atwood Tate, and would definitely recommend them, Clare in particular. (Candidate placed as Permission Administrator at Publishers’ Licensing Services, Feb 2019)
Placing a candidate in the right role requires far more than a simple turnkey solution. It involves a forensic understanding of the candidate’s unique career journey, a keen grasp of their key skills, and an intuitive sense of their synergy with the hiring organisation. Atwood Tate exuded professionalism at every touchpoint: from the initial meeting, to tailored CV advice, to follow-up exchanges on interview day. Helen Speedy, my assigned consultant at Atwood Tate, was meticulous in her approach, keeping me informed of my application’s status for the Social Media Manager role at SJH Group. Her experience of placing candidates in roles that lie at the intersection of publishing and tech, was clear from the outset. Above all, Helen is personable and sincere, with a genuine commitment to forging a lasting professional relationship with client and candidate alike. (Adam Kolczynski, placed as Social Media Manager at St James’ House Group, Jan 2019)
When I decided that I wanted a new challenge in my career, and something a bit different to my current role, I worked with Claire Carrington-Smith after receiving an email job alert for a role that really caught my eye. Claire was absolutely superb throughout the whole process and really made the whole thing a bit less stressful! She was really informative, and gave me some great tips for what to cover in the interview, as well being extremely positive throughout the whole thing. Claire kept me updated throughout the whole process and was quick to answer any questions and queries I had along the way. I would 100% recommend Atwood Tate to colleagues in a similar situation who need some help, or just don’t want to go through the job application process alone. Excellent service – I’m a very satisfied customer! (Candidate placed as Senior Author Operations & Services Specialist at Wiley)
When starting my search for a new opportunity, Atwood Tate was the first recruiter I registered with given their significant reputation and recommendations. The support was immediate and my first face to face meeting with Helen gave me the boost I needed, her personable and encouraging approach filled me with confidence. Clare’s commitment to maintaining communication every step of the way was a huge support and really highlights the difference between Atwood Tate and other recruitment agencies. I was delighted to receive an excited call from Clare with my offer following a successful second interview and her enthusiasm just captured the whole experience. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Atwood Tate to anyone looking for the next opportunity- a professional and friendly team who are determined to help you achieve your goals! (Candidate placed as Managing Editor at The Biochemical Society)
This was my first experience of working with Atwood Tate, and I have to say what a fantastic experience and positive journey it has been. My recruitment consultant was Clare Chan. Clare provided an excellent service from start to finish, she was professional and extremely helpful with advice and reassurances along the way. She was also incredibly friendly on the telephone when discussing the role. I couldn’t recommended Clare enough, I am very grateful for all of her hard work along the way. Atwood Tate are doing it differently to other recruitment companies, you’ll see the difference. (Candidate placed as Inside Sales Executive at a National Standards Body)
When I started my search for a new job, Atwood Tate was the first recruiter that I registered with, I knew of their reputation for excellent recruitment in the wider publishing industry. Having been in a highly varied position with a niche publisher, I was looking for something more challenging but equally varied. Fortunately a fantastic and rare opportunity was emailed over to me via Atwood Tate’s automatic update service and I immediately got in touch with Claire Carrington-Smith. Claire was so helpful, explaining the role to me in detail, and guiding me through the first interview stage with her extremely knowledgeable and friendly manner. Fortunately I made it through to the second round of interviews where I was asked to give a presentation, Claire took the time to review my work and come back with comments on what needed cutting/expanding, this was immensely helpful. When I received the call from Claire to let me know the news that I had a job offer I was overjoyed! I would highly recommend Atwood Tate to anyone who wants a friendly personalised service, and ultimately to achieve a fantastic career. Yasmin Keel (Candidate placed as Account Manager at Leo Paper Group)
This was my first experience of using a recruitment agency and I would definitely recommend Atwood Tate to anyone looking for a job within the publishing industry. I used the email job alert service to view roles I was interested in and was impressed by the diversity of roles available and the many different companies Atwood Tate work with. Claire was the consultant who helped me find my first job in publishing, straight out of university! She was really encouraging over the phone and via email – she prepped me before my interviews and caught up with me afterwards to discuss how they had gone. She was so approachable and happy to help, it made the whole process a lot less stressful. (Candidate placed as Sales Administrator at Bloomsbury, September 2018)
I decided to apply for the CV surgery contest because as someone who is new to the publishing industry and has no prior work experience in this area, I wanted to have my CV assessed by someone who is much more knowledgeable of that industry. Also, I was feeling a bit frustrated at the lack of progress with my job search because I had been applying for jobs all year.I was very happy with the quality of communication with everyone involved. From the moment I found out I had won the competition to the communication I had with Christina after the consultation, I felt well-informed at every stage.
My surgery appointment experience was brilliant. Christina was very warm and welcoming throughout our meeting. I appreciated the fact that she took the time to find out more about me, my background, my interests and career goals before moving onto the actual CV part of the consultation. When the time came to analyse my CV, she thoroughly went through each section of it suggesting ways I could improve it and also pointed out things she liked about it too. She also explained why she made the suggestions she did, which I appreciated.
After the CV surgery, I have a more positive outlook towards my job hunt and feel more confident. Now that I know how to sell myself and my skills more effectively on my CV, I find myself applying for jobs that interest me with less hesitation. Before the CV surgery I used to talk myself out of applying for certain roles if I didn’t think I had the complete skill set or relevant experience required for them. Now I have a bit more confidence to apply for roles that I am interested in, even if my experience or skill set isn’t a 100% percent match. (Tenelle Ottley-Matthews, Editorial CV Surgery Winner, September 2018)
I hadn’t used a recruitment agency before to look for or find a role, but I would recommend Atwood Tate to anyone. I approached Olivia regarding a particular role in London and she was extremely helpful and supportive from the beginning. I felt that my career development and needs were understood quickly, and I was kept updated at all stages of the application and interview processes. Olivia also helped negotiate my start date when I was offered the job after one interview. As I was based outside London, I was able to meet with Claire in the Oxford offices as it was more convenient for me, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. I would recommend the team at Atwood Tate without hesitation for anyone interested in publishing roles. (Laura Knowles, placed as Senior Marketing Executive at BMJ, August 2018)
I was aided in finding a new career by Olivia Constantinides, who contacted me very quickly after I had applied for a vacancy that Atwood Tate was representing. She was informative, friendly and encouraging, and also made me welcome at Atwood Tate’s offices when I registered with them.
During registration, she asked plenty of pertinent questions, unlike some agencies I had tried before, and thus had accurate information to work with. As preparation for my job interview, she emailed me detailed and helpful information, so I was as well prepared as I could possibly be. As a result, I was offered an ideal job, less than a week after I first discovered Atwood Tate existed! This was after a long and fruitless search, using less specialised agencies.
I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to work in the publishing world. In fact, I have already recommended them once, and would happily do so again. (Candidate placed as Sales and Customer Care Administrator at Biochemical Society, August 2018)
I worked with Claire Carrington-Smith to secure my new role with OCLC, and I am immensely grateful for her support and encouragement throughout. I hadn’t been actively looking for a new role, but Claire contacted me speculatively and the role was immediately of interest.The service received from Claire and Atwood Tate in general, has been excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new opportunity or career change within scholarly publishing.
(Fiona Carr, placed as Sales Account Manager, UK&I Libraries at OCLC, July 2018)
I couldn’t recommend Atwood Tate enough for someone seeking a job in the publishing industry. My recruiter Olivia was wonderful to work with: professional and approachable, efficient in e-mails, thoughtful in jobs suggestions and extremely helpful in interview preparation. I’d like to thank her personally for helping me secure my new role, which I’m greatly looking forward to beginning- all as a result of the hard work at Atwood Tate. (Project Coordinator recently placed at an academic publisher, July 2018)
I had signed up to receive alerts from Atwood Tate for roles I was interested in, but Olivia also contacted me directly with a role she thought might be suitable for me. It was and I applied right away! She kept me updated with responses from the employer as soon as she heard back, and gave me some great advice and tips for the interview. She addressed any concerns I had about my suitability for the role and I really think the advice she gave me increased my confidence on the day. She told me the following morning that I really impressed the interviewers and was offered the job straight away so thank you Olivia!
I would definitely recommend Atwood Tate to jobhunters. (Laura Eccles, Publishing Sales Executive, Kaplan, May 2018)
My experience with Atwood Tate (and in particular Clare Chan) has by far exceeded my expectations of how finding a position with a recruitment agency would be. I had imagined there would be no suitable positions, it would be difficult, and I would never hear anything from the agents. Perhaps this is what other agencies are like, but I could not recommend Atwood Tate more.
After setting my search preferences and registering with the agency, an ideal job alert was sent to me. I contacted Clare straight away, while simultaneously she had contacted me providing me with detailed information about the role, recommending that I reply. It is this proactive and personal approach that seems to set the agency apart.
I was invited to interview for this position, and Clare sent me the Atwood Tate interview advice. She is a highly responsive, efficient and personable agent that I could not recommend more, guiding me all the way through the process – all the way through to the point she contacted me to tell me I had been offered the job, the first one I had applied for through the agency. Excellent. (Marianna Kaye, Assistant Editor, British Ecological Society, April 2018)
I was approached by Claire Carrington- Smith at the very end of December via LinkedIn. We had a chat the same day and the role she suggested sounded just like what I have been looking to apply for, so we did…
I have to say that based on my prior experience with agencies I was not expecting to be kept in the loop every step of the way. Claire, however made sure to call or email me through the whole process, which was great as it gave me confidence in the agency and did not feel like they were just finding candidates to fill bulk up their finds for their clients. The whole experience was very personal.
I was asked to come for and interview at the beginning of the year and after my second interview I was offered the job.
Claire was brilliant at negotiating on my behalf and arranging my start date. She was prompt with forwarding me details and I can say that I was genuinely happy with her professionalism and would use Atwood Tate again and recommend them to other candidates.
I am very happy where I am, and it feels like the right fit. (May Elamin, Sales and Production Controller, Imago, April 2018)
Olivia got in touch with me towards the end of 2017/ early 2018 and let me know about a few roles. We had originally had a conversation where I told Olivia that I was looking for a step up in my career, and every role she’s brought to my attention has been just that – everything I had asked for. It just so happens that I was successful in one of the first positions she brought to my attention.
I’ve had dealings with a few recruitment agencies, and hand on heart I can confidently say I haven’t received a service like that of Olivia’s and Atwood Tate. She kept in touch with me at every part of the process, kept me in the loop with other jobs, and would take phone calls and messages from me at any time which was excellent customer service to saye least.
I will certainly stay connected and in touch with Olivia, and without a shadow of a doubt recommend her to any candidate that asks my advice in this area. (Alex Yagoub, Academic Partnership Manager, Macmillan, March 2018)
Atwood Tate have been brilliant every step of the way in helping me find a job that is well suited for my skills. Clare has kept me up to date and I’ve felt like I could email or ring her with questions or enquiries at any point. Couldn’t have asked for a better consultant to help further my career. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a job in Publishing! (Hannah Tosh, Production Controller, Little Tiger Press, March 2018)
Atwood Tate is by far the most supportive agency I have come across. I worked with Karine Nicpon, and I felt very well looked after at every stage in the process. She was attentive and professional, patient and understanding. I always felt that I could give her a call, whether for advice in composing a cover letter or for a quick confidence boost before an interview. I would absolutely recommend this service. Lovely people! (Loren Harway, Assistant Editor, STEP, December 2017)
In selecting my CV and putting me forward, Karine has played a key part in my career move from systems analysis into editorial. Karine was also instrumental in negotiating the details of the offer. Her professional but relaxed manner made me feel comfortable throughout and I would look forward to working with her again. (Samantha Phillips, Associate Editor, Buyers Lab Ltd)
At Atwood Tate they quickly understood what I was looking for my next career move and their suggestions for new roles were very helpful. Karine was very friendly and efficient and I felt she was fighting my corner. She was always available and interested in discussing my process, keeping me updated through it all and swiftly liaising with the employer on my behalf. I would definitely recommend Atwood Tate. (Alicia Dimas, Content Executive CQI)
I have had a great experience with Atwood Tate – working with Karine, I was set up immediately with a job interview for my perfect role. Karine kept in touch with me throughout the whole process, and was vital in negotiating me my desired salary as well as my start date. The whole experience has been very personal and has resulted in me getting a desired job, very speedily! I have already recommended Atwood Tate to a colleague and will definitely continue to do so. (Helen Swire, News Editor)
A friend recommended Atwood Tate to me and I met with Publishing Recruitment Consultant, Olivia Constantinides. Throughout the job-hunting process Olivia was very helpful and personally contacted me about suitable roles. I would also recommend signing up for the online job alert service. Olivia was very helpful when it came to all stages of the process including application, interviews and offer. I would highly recommend Olivia and the team at Atwood Tate for publishing jobs. – , Pearson, February 2017
Atwood Tate is the first recruitment agency that I have used and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a role in publishing. Karine Nicpon was my consultant and was key in helping to place me in my new role as a Content Editor in a well-established scientific society. Throughout the process, Karine has been friendly, professional and always available for a quick call or email to have a chat about prospective roles. She has been a great liaison between myself and the employer throughout the recruitment process and has always been supportive of any potential roles. I would definitely recommend Atwood Tate, and Karine in particular, to those searching for a new role due to their professionalism and approachable nature.- (Fariza Bhuiya, Content Editor role at The Royal Pharmaceutical Society, December 2016)
Helen Speedy and, indeed, Atwood Tate represent what we should understand as a recruitment consultancy: she and they take the time and effort to understand their candidates and thereby present their clients with the right candidates for the right roles. This is not easy to do and rarely effected by others in their profession. In the publishing world, if you need a position filled, you should use Atwood Tate. Definitely. – Benjamin Glover, November 2016
The London publishing market is extremely competitive and it can be very difficult to stand out and get noticed when applying for positions. Working with Olivia at Atwood Tate helped me in understanding which roles and companies were the best fit for what I was looking for at this stage of my career, and helped me to get that all-important foot in the door. I would definitely recommend them to any newcomer to London looking to break into the industry. – (Melanie Kydd, Sales Support Executive at Becker Professional Education, November 2016)
When I decided to move back to the UK after nearly twenty years in Spain, I registered with a number of recruitment agencies specialising in the Publishing sector, before doing so with Atwood Tate. I can honestly say that from the very first moment, the attention and professionalism shown towards me by Olivia Constantinides stood out in comparison with other Consultants I had previously been in contact with. I was regularly kept informed of the situation with my application and always felt that she was on my side. The information I received was always clear and detailed, and any questions or queries I had were always answered speedily and appropriately. I particularly appreciated the post-offer assistance I received, as regards starting date and negotiation of the final package. All in all I couldn’t have been happier with Olivia and would recommend them without hesitation to colleagues…..and will definitely make use of them myself in the future if needed (although I’m not considering doing so for a long time yet!! – (Colin Dobson, International Sales Manager, Renaissance, September 2016)
Atwood Tate was one of the few employment agencies that treated me as an individual with specific skills. Most other agencies use the shotgun approach that is time consuming yet ineffective. Clare Louise and Lisa emailed me when they had jobs they thought I would be interested in and once the interview process began, they kept me up to date every step of the way. They helped me negotiate the starting date I wanted. Even after the offer was made, they kept in touch. Thank you, Claire Louise, Lisa and Atwood Tate. – (Cathy Stagg, Managing Editor, Amberley Publishing, August 2016)
I had not had any experience with a recruiting agency before, and I was unsure of the benefits or of what to expect. However when Karine Nicpon from Atwood Tate approached me on LinkedIn with the perfect role, it was clear she had taken the time to read my profile and career history. Karine was approachable, professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and her communication skills were impeccable. She knew, in depth, the requirements of the client, and she also understood my skills and career goals. I would recommend Atwood Tate to any of my colleagues in the publishing industry. – (Miranda Wilson-Wood, Content Development Editor at BIR, August 2016)
Deciding on your next career move isn’t always the easiest decision to make. When I was approached by Olivia at Atwood Tate I was presented with an excellent opportunity. Olivia had taken the time to read my profile, study my suitability, and felt strongly enough to approach me directly with a role which she felt I’d be a good fit for.

I found Atwood Tate to be excellent during my job search process. I found them to be approachable, interested and understanding of the process. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out I’d been selected by an Atwood Tate agent as someone they thought would be right for a move, because I had just begun thinking about a move myself. Karine Nicpon in particular was a huge help in landing me in the right place for my skills; I’m happy to say that as a result of her help, I managed to land the first role I applied for. I think this shows a good knowledge of recruitment processes, as it was clear I was the right fit for the role. Karine was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, and I was impressed by the speed and professionalism with which she conducted the search. I’d be very happy to recommend Atwood Tate and Karine in particular, and I have only good things to say about my experience with the recruitment agency. — (Francesca Sturiale, Production Controller at Bloomsbury (candidate), December 2015)

Karine at Atwood Tate was brilliant at matching me up to the right job, and she was a great help and support throughout the whole process. I ended up getting the first job that she put me forward for, and it was very quick and straightforward – so she is clearly great at knowing which candidates will be a good fit for specific clients. Karine is really friendly and approachable, and I felt that the service was very personalised (which I don’t think is the case with many agencies). Karine gave me great advice, kept me fully updated at all stages, and helped with communicating any questions/negotiations back to her client. If I were ever looking for another job (which I hope won’t be for a while!) then Karine would be the first person I’d contact. I will definitely recommend Karine and Atwood Tate to friends looking for a new job. Thanks so much for all your help!

After doing freelance work for some time, I decided to go back to fulltime work and turned to Atwood Tate. Very quickly my name was put forward for a position as a deputy editor. Although in the end I did not get the job, it was a real pleasure to work with Dr Beatrice Harper at Atwood Tate. She took the time to understand what my strengths were and represented these fully to the company I was applying to work at, always keeping me abreast to the changes and updates to the post – which were many. There were three interviews which went with the job process and Beatrice gave me helpful tips for all three. With every other recruitment agency I have used, I never had the feeling that I was dealing with a professional. Beatrice is the complete exception to this and I would use her and Atwood Tate again in a heartbeat. The only thing which could have made the experience better would have been if I had got the post. —(Velo Mitrovich, Freelance Editor (candidate) September 2014)

My recruitment experience with Atwood Tate was excellent! I dealt with Helen Speedy who was nothing short of fantastic in keeping me updated on any developments in the (extended) application process and, when the time came for interview, provided me with all the necessary information and support I needed. It felt like Helen was genuinely rooting for me throughout the application process and her friendly and professional manner made the process much easier. Little touches, such as the ‘good luck’ text on the morning of the interview and the handwritten ‘congratulations on your new job’ card sent to my new office, also made the process feel wonderfully personal, and it’s details such as this which really sets Atwood Tate apart from other recruitment agencies. I’ve been in my new role three weeks now and am absolutely loving it. Thanks Helen and all the folks at Atwood Tate! —Project Manager, Professional Publisher March 2014
I’ve really enjoyed working with Atwood Tate. My journey was quite a protracted one for a number of reasons, but Helen guided me through every step and really went above and beyond.
