Poor communication

Extremely poor experience with Annabel Walker. Communication has been consistently slow, including long periods of silence. The prep video call was a joke with no meaningful insight. Felt like a “check the box” exercise. After interviewing with the client, I received no update for weeks, and reasonable follow-up emails were not even acknowledged.

I completely understand that recruiters cannot control when clients make decisions. They can, however, communicate with candidates. A simple “I’m still waiting for feedback” or “the client has decided not to proceed” takes less than a minute. Being ghosted after investing significant time into a process is disrespectful and makes candidates feel like numbers rather than people.

Annabel Walker needs to consider the mental impact she is having on candidates. We are humans not just ££ commission.

I would highly recommend Dartmouth Partners, and especially Ishan Hindocha. Ishan made the entire recruitment process feel seamless and straightforward through his professionalism, expertise, and exceptional communication skills. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Ishan genuinely understood both the role and my background. He conducted a fantastic first-round interview, asking insightful questions that helped identify not only my technical fit but also my long-term career aspirations. His ability to communicate clearly, provide honest feedback, and keep me updated throughout the process made a significant difference.

I had a very positive experience with Dartmouth Partners. Lewis Hill was particularly helpful throughout the process, and communication was always professional, efficient, and clear. He was also very accommodating and flexible when arranging timings, which I really appreciated. Overall, the process was well organised from start to finish and everything felt smooth and straightforward. A great experience overall.

Recruiter Stephen Tue does not seem to know much about his job and behave very unprofessional.

Had an interview, no response afterwards, only takes 30 seconds to write an e-mail to say "sorry someone else got the job".

Terrible recruiters honestly - its giving hectic with a side of zero due diligence and an inability to respond to emails. The recruiters that got me the best interviews and ultimately my job (and actually knew what they were doing) were Alternative Investment Search & Selection and also Pinpoint partners. Not paid just sharing the love

Worst recruiters ever. Got me an offer that wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. The recruiter had done zero diligence on the company he was recruiting for. Don’t trust these guys - they speak a sweet speech but will lie to get you to accept an offer that is not worth the paper it is written on. Plus they put a lot of pressure on you to accept it. Was a nightmare working with them. Really inexperienced bunch of consultants and principals.

Worst agency I have come in contact with. Saw online that they had a bad rep but didn't think it would be as bad as the rumours. Had my interview rescheduled 6 times only being notified 10 mins before the actual interview was meant to take place. The 5th time it was rescheduled turned up to the arranged meeting online and the recruiter was nowhere to be seen. Eventually called him up and he showed up an hour later. Actual interview was fine but some of the worst organisation I have seen in the industry. Would strongly advice against using them.
