Honest, forthright, kind and understanding – Helen has the perfect attributes to be a great recruiter and I can see why Black Cherry is so highly thought of among PR and marketing agencies. Her advice and encouragement to candidates is invaluable and the frequent, but never excessive, communication helps smooth the ride of what can be a potentially tough process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Black Cherry to employers or jobseekers.

Helen is a very rare thing – a recruitment consultant that actually cares about her clients and uses her experience, contacts and most importantly her instinct, to get them in front of the right people. I presented Helen with a rather unique set of circumstances and despite this she worked hard to make sure I felt supported and fully informed while she secured interviews and liaised closely with prospective employers on my behalf. I suppose the proof of the pudding is in the eating and I secured a position through Helen after just one interview because she thought carefully about who she was matching me with. Cannot recommend Helen and Black Cherry highly enough

Helen was wonderful and extremely attentive to me when I was looking for my next role. She took into consideration my skills and what I was looking for in an employer. I received regular contact from Helen throughout the whole process and she managed to find me a wonderful job, perfect for my skill set and needs, in only a week. Amazing work and lovely lady. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for their next PR role.

Helen was recommended to us as we required someone to take the pain and process out of recruiting a Communications Officer for our team. Personable and possessing a can-do attitude, Helen took our exact requirements and matched suitable candidates for us – thank you Helen!

I have known Helen for years and she is my only port of call when it comes to finding a suitable role. Her knowledge of PR agencies and her passion for finding candidates the best fit, is second to none. Helen works tirelessly for her candidates, is always on call to answer any questions and gives truly sound advice. I absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and Black Cherry to anyone!

I have dealt with many PR recruitment agencies but Black Cherry is by far the best. Exceptional and honest communication is what sets Black Cherry a part from all other recruitment agencies. Helen kept me updated in a timely manner and communication lines were open throughout the job interview process and after – Helen really made me feel like I was her only client. Helen and the team at Black Cherry recruitment really understand that the PR agency has to be the right fit for you personally and professionally, as well as being the right fit for the agency in question – this is absolutely key when looking for that new job, which is why I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Without Helen at Black Cherry Recruitment I wouldn’t have been able to find the perfect job so quickly. Having just finished university and embarking on a relocation from Brighton to Manchester the knowledge, advice, and reassurance Helen gave me made the process so much easier and I’m so thankful!
