"The thing that really separates Acumin from other similar consultancies is their knowledge of the Information Security arena and the people involved"

Candidate Testimonials

"My experience of Acumin is very positive. The people I have dealt with are knowledgeable in a level of the security technology that they are recruiting for. This is very important in understanding candidates and roles and how these fit together. Most agencies just buzz word match and have little understanding."

  -  Mobile Security Solutions Architect, VISA Europe

 

"My experience with Acumin has been very positive. I dealt mostly with Chris Batten who did a good job briefing me on the role (and on the previous Detica role) and seeing the process through. No complaints and would look to you again in future."

  -  Services Engagement Manager, Integralis

 

"Acumin took the time to fully understand my requirements and that of the employer, MXI Security.  They ensured that they found a perfectly aligned position which was the right fit for me and the company.  Acumin only presented roles to me that were suitable and didn’t at any point, try to force me into the wrong position or company.  I have never worked with an Executive Search firm that operated with such a high level of professionalism throughout the entire recruitment process as Acumin did with my placement. Acumin ensured that I understood every stage of the process, with the communication and their follow up being second to none.  Acumin have an outstanding knowledge of the Information Security market as well as the recruitment market and I would not hesitate to use them again."

  -  VP & General Manager, North America, Norman Data Defense Systems

 

"I had a great experience working with Scott. He's a consummate professional and did a very good job of keeping in touch and helping with the process, etc. When I go contracting, Acumin will always be my first port of call."

  -  Senior Information Risk Consultant, VISA Europe

 

"I've enjoyed working with Acumin.  It's an interesting agency that seems quite different to others.  Particularly working with Scott. Quite a breath of fresh air in recruitment, and from a contractor's point of view, a pleasure to deal with.  Straight talking and a good laugh and clearly well connected."

  -  Date Centre Security, A Global Payments Processing organization

 

"I was very happy with the service Acumin provided and it exceeded my expectations. As a candidate, they managed the situation well, maintaining the information flow for me and the client."

  -  Governance Risk and Compliance Manager, Royal Mail

 

"I would say that Acumin is unusual in that it is very attentive and friendly. From my perspective Acumin is very prompt at chasing for contract renewals or raising queries on my behalf, my invoices are paid very promptly, I'm contacted regularly to see if I'm alright and if I need anything.  If my consultant is away, someone steps in and handles my questions. Definitely not what others experience from their agencies and they're very jealous!"

  -  Business Analyst, Lloyds TSB

 

"I found Acumin to be a great agency to work with. No problems, and I feel we have a good relationship, so top marks from me."
