About PA London

The idea for PA London was conceived on a wet rainy Friday afternoon in a coffee bar in Oxford Street by Elaine Sutherland, our Managing Director.

She said...
"I'd had a frustrating morning interviewing candidates for a role within the commercial property company I worked for.  A complete waste of my time as none of them had the right skill set and personality.

I'd had three recruitment consultants visit me and pitch for the vacancy - none of whom had really taken on board what I was asking for. They had talked a good game, but had not produced the results...

I realised there was a niche in the market for a consultancy that listens to its clients, only sends forward relevant candidates and offers an ongoing customer relationship rather than charging a one-off extortionate fee and scarpering!"
