"Rare has made a significant contribution to building the executive team at Brandhouse. They are rigorous in their approach to understanding our needs, and at the same time they have an innate appreciation of our culture and the time of person that will flourish in it.

Head of People, Venturethree

"Simon is a rarity amongst search consultants. Firstly, he is extremely precise, choosing to focus on quality and not volume. Secondly, his expertise in strategy roles is second to none. He has deep relationships with many high calibre firms and professionals. These attributes make him the go to person for strategy talent. My personal experience of working with him was superb. He listened, challenged and probed, and was able to recommend the right course of action for the next step in my career. I look forward to working with him again in the future."

Liam, Head of Strategy at Venturethree

"Having known Simon for over 6 years as both a candidate and a client, I trust him completely as one of the most professional and well-connected people in the industry. Ever insightful and discrete, he has been instrumental in building some of the most outstanding brand teams in London and beyond. Personally speaking, I can't recommend him highly enough. Simon is, in my humble opinion, the finest head hunter in the business."

Dylan, Partner at Lippincott

"I have worked with Rare Selection as both candidate and employer and have been genuinely impressed by both experiences. Simon has a rare level of commitment to matching the right candidate to the right role — developing a real understanding of what both sides are looking for, providing honest and constructive feedback and making consistently insightful recommendations."
