I worked with I-CM Partners as a Programme and Change Manager supporting the delivery of a large Change Programme for a Retail client. I was impressed with I-CM Partner’s depth of knowledge of the client’s business and resourcing needs. They had a genuine passion for understanding the challenge and supporting the delivery of great results. My relationship with the I-CM team built over a number of years even before being placed on a project by them and this approach means they can effectively achieve a ‘best fit’ between the candidate’s skills and experience and the needs of the organisation. I would recommend I-CM Partners to any organisation needing talent to deliver results

Janice  –   Programme Manager – The Cooperative 

I have found I-CM Partners, and Andy in particular to have a very good feel for their end clients plans, performance and challenges in order to discuss potential projects in the short, medium, and long term – and then to describe those clients requirements – technical, personal, and cultural – to be able match and call upon a ‘pipeline’ of resource when required.

Derrick  – Retail Change Consultant

I have had a relationship with I-CM and for the past 10 years, both as an independent contractor and as a senior Manager/Director looking to fill vacancies.

Andy and his team have built up a strong network of both high quality independent contractors/consultants and senior IT and Change owners in the retail industry across the Northwest.  I-CMs skill is in matching a requirement with strong candidates who have real, practice experience and have the scars to prove it.  This ensures that the placements are successful and add real value right from the start.

I would have no hesitation in recommending I-CM.

Senior Programme Manager – Matalan

I approached I-CM after being made redundant from a long term position.  He was recommend by a colleague who had worked with him previously. I had contacted a few other agents and it’s fair to say that Andy far outshone his competitors on all levels.

He was professional yet friendly, he took time to listen & understand what I was looking for – he ALWAYS replied / contacted me as promised and if for any reason he couldn’t answer my call would always respond as soon as possible saying when he would.

He did not inundate me with speculative roles, he actually identified this role as being the perfect fit for both me & the company and said he was very confident of us ‘matching’ that he would not bombard me with other options until the outcome of this was known. He explained the clients background and ‘sold’ the company to me – he could have actually been a member of the HR team he was so passionate about the company and the people.

I would not hesitate to recommend or go to Andy for future requirements – his knowledge and understanding of the business I was placed at & of the roles we require is excellent. (my previous experience when requesting resource to agents is that they may not always understand the technical requirements/soft skills needed – Andy does)

I’m very pleased I choose I-CM (Andy) and that I was successfully recruited

Permanent Programme Manager – Retail Business

I have worked with I-CM on numerous occasions over the last 5 years, Andy isn’t your stereotypical recruiter; he actually cares about placing you  in the right role and making sure you’re the right fit for the organisation.

He’s always been honest and transparent with me and has acted like a mentor when needed. Whenever I am looking for my next contract Andy is the first person I touch base with as I know he will genuinely keep me in mind if there is a role he thinks I will be suitable for. A pleasure to work with a breath of fresh air in the recruitment world, he always makes time for you and even brings you a bottle of wine at Christmas!
