What our clients say

Bright Harbour

Caitlin Connors

“I first started working with The Field on the strength of a recommendation from a trusted colleague who said Claire had a unique talent for finding 'the impossible participant'. 

Over our years working together, that recommendation showed itself it be startlingly true. Claire is unfazed by complex samples, hard-to-find and 'hard to reach' participant profiles, and always up for creative and bespoke approaches to find incredible participants. 

The people that The Field bring to our interviews and sessions never feel like 'professional respondents' the way that so many other recruiters' do - they always feel like genuine, interesting people with stories to tell, which brings enormous value to our clients. Whether speaking to people experiencing food insecurity - or families managing health issues and disabilities - or young men managing HIV risk - they've delivered time and time again.

What I've come to value even more than the amazing quality of their work is the genuine care with which Claire approaches their stewardship of their recruitment colleagues, and of the thoughtfulness they put into participants' experiences. 

It is rare to find colleagues that work with such humanity and ethical practice at the heart of what they do in this industry - and even in projects engaging with the most vulnerable of public audiences, I always have complete faith that Claire will ensure safe, positive, respectful experiences for everyone involved. This should be an ethical baseline anyway - but is doubly important given the general uncertainty and stress that so many are going through under covid. 

I have total confidence in this team and am so grateful for their partnership, which has been critical to delivering high quality work for our Government and charity-sector clients.”
