Testimonial

This is what our Clients say

“The designers that Sal helped us bring on board are doing fantastic”
I've worked with Sal on multiple briefs to help scale the Product Design team at The Economist. She took the time to understand our needs, the shape of designers we were looking for and championing diverse candidates. The designers that Sal helped us bring on board are doing fantastic and I won't hesitate to work with Sal in the future.

Head of Design
“The best recruitment agency I have worked with.”
Quite simply the best recruitment agency I have worked with. Barefoot have helped us grow our design team over the last 6 months with several key hires and have been instrumental in creating a hiring process that works for us and the candidates.

I've always had high quality candidate sourcing, briefing and communication throughout the process — it's been an absolute pleasure to work with Sal. I'd recommend Barefoot to anyone without hesitation.

"An excellent recruitment partner that found us amazing candidates for our company."
Sal was an excellent recruitment partner that found us amazing candidates for our company. Indeed, in a very “niche” environment, Sal and her team at Barefoot Recruitment were brilliant at finding top talent within a very short time frame. A genuine pleasure to work with and highly recommended.

“A design recruitment company who actually knows what they're talking about! Barefoot recruitment is your kind of recruiter.”
If there is ever a reason to use the word "blessing" in a corporate context, it is to describe Barefoot Recruitment. I know what you're thinking: "wow, Zinzy really likes big language, huh?" No.

When I first met Sal and her team, I quickly learned they understand how recruiter energy can make or break a hiring process. Their insight into the design world combined with their focus on building a more inclusive and equitable tech industry made for a great start of our collaboration. I expected working with them would be swift, fruitful, and relaxed. I was right.

Within a few days the team gave me a shortlist of wonderful candidates with diverse backgrounds. I felt the Barefoot team took my considerations seriously, helping me narrow down exactly what kind of fit I needed, rather than forcing all candidates into the space I had to fill. Once we got down to offering the position to one of the candidates, Barefoot was helpful while giving me space to iron out kinks. It was an enjoyable experience that helped me find exactly who my company needs right now.

If you're looking for a no-nonsense design recruiter who actually knows what they're talking about, Barefoot Recruitment is your kind of recruiter.

“I have always found Barefoot to be very professional, friendly and personable. ”
I have always found Barefoot to be very professional, friendly and personable. The design portfolios received were very relevant and what the hiring team were looking to receive. It is evident Sal and the Barefoot team manages the candidate piece extremely well and I look forward to working with them again in the near future. Thank you for all your help.
