Testimonials

Founding Partner

You clearly listened and understood exactly what we were looking for and regularly sent very qualified candidates our way. I have been in finance for 25 years and have dealt with many headhunters. I have never actually written an email after a placement to provide positive feedback, but you deserve it.

Venture Fund

PE Associate

I could really feel the difference with Dartmouth. I was more than just a profile - I was a person. After every interview, I was given feedback on my performance which wasn’t generalised or blanket remarks but customised.

Global Private Equity firm

Co-Founder

Dartmouth takes the time to get to know you, your firm, and the fundamentals that set you apart. They place a high value on understanding your culture and people, and this has been proven through successful onboarding of multiple high calibre placements on our team.
