Here’s what a couple of our Candidate's had to say:

'The professional way that Sterling Manhattan project managed my application acting as the interface between myself and IBM was exemplary. Their ability to negotiate on my behalf to the mutual benefit of myself and my future employer was second to none. I had a salary band in mind and they far exceeded my expectations in terms of the salary and bonus package'.

'I was particularly appreciative of their regular updates; they always returned my calls and e-mails within 24 hours. Also, the fact that they provided a well-briefed substitute manager in my Consultant’s absence meant that it was always a pleasure to do business with Sterling Manhattan and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.”

Andrew King, Senior Client Solution Executive - Strategic Outsourcing, IBM


’I used Sterling Manhattan in the course of applying for a senior position at a major 250 FTSE firm as an Interim Head of IT Contracts. They kept in contact with me even though the opportunity did not mature for six months. Once the window was genuinely open Sterling Manhattan contacted me and successfully placed me in a key position, and then supported me more effectively than any previous agent I have worked with in the course of 10+ placements at senior level in Financial Services and Government interim contracts, to secure a package of remuneration and reward which - frankly - other agents have openly told me they could not aspire to match.
Sterling Manhattan created deep and relevant contacts in the business directly and indirectly related to my placement and used these to optimum effect in supporting me through three contract extensions. They also brokered any issues I had with the substantial invoice and expenses payment logistics with absolute dedication.
I would be delighted to recommend Sterling Manhattan to any consultant or prospective client and would be delighted to give a verbal testimonial.’

Elva Perkins, Head of IT Contracts
