I had a great experience working with Sarah . She was professional, communicative, and supportive throughout the entire process, keeping me informed every step of the way. Thanks to her guidance and effort, I was able to secure an HR management role with an organisation that fits my values.

Sarah was supportive throughout the entire process and very friendly to deal with. She kept me up to date at all stages, and I had a very positive experience.

Hi Odette, You have been great to work with through this process. I wish you all the very best in your new role. Congratulations! Thanks and best wishes, Sarah

PriyaCandidate • Mar 2026 external review

Sarah was incredibly informative and supportive throughout the recruitment process. She was easy to talk to, communicated clearly, and kept me updated at every stage. I really appreciated that she checked in with me a week after I started my new role to see how everything was going. She also shared lots of helpful advice, which made the whole experience feel personal and reassuring. I would highly recommend working with her and the team at Cultivate.

Priya was authentic and wonderful to work with through this process. Hardly surprising the team are so delighted with you as a hire and your performance in the role and ability to learn quickly. As a consequence you are being given greater exposure across other areas such as ER. Well done! I watch your progress and career develop with great interest.

Sarah was fantastic great professional

Hi Graham, I enjoyed the recruitment process with you as a candidate - your skill and experience is exceptional and your sense of humour welcome relief. I know how delighted Nicky and the team are to have you take the ER/IR Lead role. You're one in a million. Wishing you all the very best! Sarah Hernon, Cultivate

Great communication - thanks Sarah

Thank you for all the time spent you and Neil spent briefing me and having faith in me to run this process for a very important SLT role like this - I couldn't be happier with Jeremy placed as the Director of People & Capability. I wish you well in your retirement and am excited to see who the new CEO will be - they have big shoes to fill!
