The Ascension team fully understand the Blue Prism culture and strategy and have been instrumental in attracting a high calibre of candidates for each brief. A core strength for Blue Prism is their speed of execution, quality shortlists, candidate preparation and coordination of the interview process, which was especially critical during each ramp-up phase.

SVP Global Alliances and Channel

AES’ understanding of the partner eco-system and insight into each market has been key to attracting relevant candidates across EMEA. During each hiring process they stay in close touch, giving regular market feedback and picking up quickly on any possible adjustments to the brief. As a client you can feel they are a close-knit team and hence highly effective.

Director, Worldwide Business Development at Blue Prism

I’ve been working with Ascension Executive Search for the last 12 months while building out a team of 14 business development representatives. I was hired to build a brand new team from scratch and it would not have been possible without the outstanding support of AES. My timeline was very tight, we started the search in mid-September and needed to have everyone hired by January. AES were not daunted by this timeline, instead they embraced it and I’m pleased to say that we hit the January deadline!

I cannot recommend AES highly enough and will certainly use them again in the future.

SVP of Global Sales at Birst

Ascension assisted us to secure our key early hires in our international business, both in the UK and Asia Pacific. They wholly understood our requirements and delivered high-calibre and well-briefed candidates for each role, from which we then successfully hired. I was impressed with their speed of delivery and professionalism throughout the process and will continue to use them to help us build out our business.

Former CEO of The Sage Group, Microfocus and Chordiant

The term ‘search partner’ is often loosely bandied about but is appropriate when describing Ascension. I’ve worked with them over 18 years as CEO, Board Director and as an Investor and in each case they advised well on approaching the market, applying an appropriate search process and leveraging their knowledge network to achieve the best result and land top talent.

SVP Worldwide Sales at Imperva

I’ve worked with Ascension over many years; the team’s industry knowledge and contacts in the market are first-rate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Former VP EMEA at Cloudera

I particularly value Ascension’s solid market knowledge and research capabilities, which have helped me build strong teams across Europe both at TeaLeaf and Cloudera. In a fast-paced and demanding industry they continue to deliver exceptional people who understand the high expectations of leading US software pre-IPOs.

CEO at JHC

Ascension has been an invaluable partner in assisting us to build our executive and non-executive board. We worked together to evaluate and agree exactly what JHC needed and how the opportunity should be presented to the market. The shortlisted candidates Ascension delivered were a remarkable fit to the brief and for our organisation.
