Fintelligent provided me with a 5-star service. Polite, professional throughout. Assisted me with gaining employment for an employer I was extremely keen to work for and I can't thank Jenni Lunt enough for the help and advice I received.

Daniel is really experienced and an absolute pleasure to work with. He understands the financial services market and what is expected in the roles provided. Dan makes sure he provides quality candidates rather than just volume. I would highly recommend using Daniel to assist firms in their recruitment.
Jamie Pritchard
I have been working with Jenni and the team at Fintelligent for the past 2 years now, and I can honestly say after 20 years experience of dealing with countless agencies & even attempting myself they are by far the best. Jenni fully understands our business requirements, and will give us an honest appraisal before any interview we have. It says something that we have not ventured elsewhere since partnering with. In addition, they now source for other parts of our business and as we continue our relationship’

I had an amazing experience with Jenni Lunt! I applied for a job on Indeed and was called very quickly by Jenni, she took the time to understand my current role and check that my experience would work for the company I had applied for. She came back to me very quickly and arranged for me to have an interview. I was successful in both interviews and have been offered the job! Jenni was really supportive, she gave me lots of great advice, hints and tips. She followed up with me continuously throughout the process to make sure I felt prepared and check I was happy with how the interview went. Its such a pleasant change to have a recruiter genuinely support you and wanting you to succeed. Everyone needs a Jenni when looking for a new role! Thank you again ❤️

Jenni was amazing from start to finish. She prepared me for the interview, kept in contact with me throughout the whole process & was friendly throughout. It was a pleasure to have her help throughout the process.

James and Fintelligent have consistently been one of our highest performing agencies and a valued partner to our internal talent function whenever we need to reach out to agencies for hard to fill roles or urgent positions. James and the team are honest, act with integrity, take the time to understand our business, provide valuable advice and insight into the market and most of all find great candidates. I’m used to getting a barrage of calls from Recruiters and I’m always reluctant to add to our PSL. I’d highly recommend James and Fintelligent to any Financial Services business whether they are looking to add to their PSL or not as they have continually delivered for us.
