Testimonials

Head of Change, Thames Water

Alium’s approach makes sound business sense: their people gave us the experience we needed to direct us through a major change initiative, with a strong return on investment.

Human Resources Director, Laing O’Rourke

Alium responded with great cycle time, from the point of understanding the brief to delivery of a number of equally suitable candidates. The continuous contact with me until a selection decision was made was both frequent and added value as we discussed the merits and demerits of each person. The whole process was professional and rapid.

Group HRD, Cape plc

Alium responded brilliantly to our request for help with a senior interim HRD for one of our major businesses putting forward candidates at very short notice who not only matched the specification perfectly but were also able to commence the assignment in the timescale required. Alium's support throughout the whole process was also very professional. I will not hesitate in using their services again.

HR Director, Spie Matthew Hall

It was impressive how quickly Alium was able to find me a well-qualified interim manager who rapidly took control of the project. She immediately gained the respect and support of her colleagues and lifted the morale in the team.

I have known the HR practice at Alium for several years and they have always been able to quickly identify and supply effective interim manager talent to cover my short-term resourcing needs.

Interim Head of Inward Investment, Business Growth & Trade, Development Agency

Throughout Alium handled the assignment in a highly professional, efficient, and sensitive manner. The client brief was comprehensive and accurate; the role match was good; the contract negotiations were smooth and considerate; ongoing contact and support were helpful but not intrusive; and in general our relationship was constructive, friendly, and fruitful.

HR Director, London Development Agency

Alium were very much there in the background, checking up on how it was going, providing support when necessary and often just being there to listen when things were particularly challenging. They clearly had a good understanding of how it was for interim managers and were always open and honest.

Group HR and Organisational Effectiveness Director, Laing O'Rourke

Finding an HR Director at a time of organisational change required support from an interim provider who I could trust would find me the right skills and style fit in a very short time frame. Alium's HR Practice did a fantastic job for us.

The thing that impressed me the most about Alium was their ability to fully understand our requirements (technical and cultural) and provide an extremely capable manager.

Alium have consistently demonstrated an ability to deliver fast results, by constructively challenging the role profile and then quickly coming up with a range of candidates.

Alium Partners worked with speed yet sound judgement in terms of the Interim Manager introduced to me. They recognised the core of the requirement and excel in providing pragmatic, hands-on people who are focused on delivering results without significant management.

Former Head of Resources, Essex County Council

Alium has a very good reputation in the top end of the interim market and in central government.

Former Senior Director of HR Services, Home Office

Alium made the process of sourcing the best candidate a very quick and efficient one. From identifying the person that we wanted, to placing them in the role took no more than two to three weeks (including the time taken to conduct the pre-employment checks). The whole process was remarkably straightforward, emails and phone calls are turned around quickly and any issues dealt with promptly.
