I engaged Lucy (through her business, Global Researchers) as an Associate to provide essential Research support to our business following a significant increase in workflow compounded by an unexpected key staff absence through illness. Lucy entered a high profile, complex and pressurised environment and immediately added value. She picked up on a number of complex senior appointments and moved them forwards, at pace, to ensure deadlines for submission were met. Each of the assignments was unique in its requirement and Lucy showed great agility in being able to pick up and run with them.
Lucy demonstrates an easy and confident style in managing the expectations of all stakeholders (internal and external) and is a pleasure to have as part of the team. Feedback from within our business on Lucy (and on the quality of her work) is consistently strong and our fee earners will look out for Lucy’s availability when it comes to requesting external support.
Lucy is a true pleasure to work with. She continues to transform research organisations to best in class by applying best practices and benchmarking against standards from her previous experience. She is organised, detailed and thorough and showed excellent self-initiative, enthusiasm and drive.
I have found Lucy to be an extraordinary manager with exceptional research capability. She has strong technical understanding, is quick to grasp new concepts and has a flair for producing excellent quality of work.
Lucy was always quick to understand any issues involved and was able to work under pressure. An added bonus was that she was always great fun!
We have so appreciated your services, you set the bar nice and high for my other staff!
I worked with Lucy on a recent job move from a large corporate to a smaller start up environment. All through the process, Lucy regularly kept in touch with me to keep me informed on progress. She liaised with the hiring company on my behalf and managed all stakeholders involved in a open and friendly manner that was not only appreciated, but also made the hiring process very stress-free. I would highly recommend her to both prospective job applicants as well as companies seeking a professional and approachable, considerate recruiter.
We recently hired Lucy to develop a pipeline of candidates for multiple senior roles. She quickly built rapport with the leadership team and developed a great understanding for the types of character we were seeking. As a small startup, cultural fit was as important to us as functional skills. So far we have completed two hires in short order and are now working on two more. We have been delighted with the experience of working with Lucy and highly recommend her business model.

Lucy Deane has been a terrific Executive Search leader for our small, fast moving and fast growing organization- knowledgable, creative, flexible and smart. She did not delegate the work but carried it out herself. She offered a service that was tailored to our needs and she unearthed fantastic candidates that we would not have found. We were very happy with Lucy, recommend her highly and will seek out her help again.
