What their customers say

Quotes from people at DNA Recruit's customers.

“Ali and his team at DNA took great care and support throughout the entire process. A great head hunter with both a strategic and human connection with businesses and their talents. Lots of fun as well!”

Danila Luppino · Creative Director · Live & Breathe

“Everyone knows Ali’. I’ve heard that umpteen times over because it’s true. Both he and his team at DNA are one connected outfit. Fast with finding new opportunities, fast in making things happen, plus a certain knack for finding the right fit quickly. What more can you ask for in a recruitment partner? Thanks, Ali. Thanks, DNA.”

Dan Eaves · Head of Client Development

“Gemma is by far my favourite recruiter. (Sorry Ali) She not only finds us the best candidates and understands our business she is a pleasure to deal with. She has attention to detail, she always comes through with the best candidates and just in general a gem to deal with. Couldn't recommend her anymore highly!!”

Clare Harper · Client Services & Commercial Director

“You've got to love Ali as his ‘Mr Persistence’ persona competes so well with his Mr ‘I’ve got the perfect candidate for you’ persona. Outform’s latest DNA candidate started this week and he’s done it again on a unicorn brief. Ali commits and understands and coaches candidates on what agencies need in 2023 and beyond. DNA add value where it’s needed and the team role model the value of flexible working and are a pleasure to work with.”

Clare Cryer · VP, Growth · OUTFORM

“Ali worked diligently and tirelessly with me at the start of what became Made in Amsterdam. His combination of advice, consultancy and recruitment knowledge helped us start the business and find partners to drive growth and establish a new home. He’s a hybrid across recruitment and, in our case, M&A advice. Nearly 3 years in, everything is going well.”

Chris Friend · Managing Partner · Made in Amsterdam

“DNA's tenacity and commitment to getting the best result for both the client and the candidates they represent is incredible (I know, I have been both). Their proactivity in seeking out the best industry talent that exactly meets the brief has been incredible, they approach every search like a treasure hunt and will not rest until they have found your pot of gold. Ali & Gemma have boundless energy, enthusiasm, and persistence and are generous with their wise counsel. They are candid, supportive, encouraging, optimistic realists, solutions focused and a pleasure to work with.”

Chris Doggart · Events & Experiential

“DNA exudes partnership. They strive to understand your business, culture and needs so that their talent connections truly hit the mark. They're wonderful about proactively sending through people of interest because they sincerely care about helping individuals and businesses find the right professional opportunities and fit. Strategic, personable and highly professional, I strongly recommend DNA.”

Cheryl Hatfield · Senior Vice President & Managing Director · VMLY&R Commerce

“The support I had from the DNA team regarding kickstarting my career has been quite simply amazing. Navigating unemployment as a postgraduate and looking for the first stepping stone onto the corporate ladder can seem incredibly intimidating. But with help from the team and Ali, I managed to find myself working in a job I wholeheartedly loved and rediscovered a newfound confidence I can only give thanks to them for. They truly are the best of the best.”

Charlotte Chadwick-Jones · Junior Account Executive

“Can't recommend Ali and the DNA team highly enough. Ali is immersed in the marketing, comms, digital and experiential business at every level. He has his finger on the industry pulse and knows all the founders, the mover and the shakers. At heart he is a deal-maker and his unwavering personal commitment to see every candidate, project and deal given maximum support is to be applauded. Above all else they are all very nice people to deal with.”

Barnett Fletcher · Strategic Advisor & CEO

“The keyword that I would use to describe DNA is pro-active. Ali was fantastic at approaching the types of organisations that would make a perfect fit for my aspiration. He did so from the point of real understanding. He spent time understanding my experience and what I could bring to an organisation, and what I was looking for from my next appointment. Ali understands the business and the role, and I found him insightful as we discussed my next move. Fast forward ten years, and I still love it!”

Ashley Patterson · Executive Planning Director

“The process was inspiring and my recruiter, Yasir, felt more like my spokesperson than a recruiter. We created a video CV through the DNAScreen platform, which allowed me to demonstrate my experience and abilities as a "Video CV" for the client which helped push for exactly what I was looking for: my dream job. Communication was cogent and I was kept well informed throughout the process. It's easy to lose talent to nerves, so I recommend DNA's approach to recruitment.”

Arthur Brennan · Roblox Developer

“"Working with Ali and the DNA team has been amazing as they'd really taken the time to understand what I was looking for in my next career move. Ali has given me some great advice and tips, and helped me land the role I was looking for. If you're looking for your next career move then I'd highly recommend speaking with Ali and the DNA team. I'll definitely be sharing Ali's details with any of my network who are looking for a new role."”

Antony Sunder · Senior Account Manager · Ingenuity

“I was highly recommended to meet Ali Wallace 19 years ago after working for a few agencies and looking for a new challenge – Ali was full of great advice, very focused on cultural fit and well connected to agency leaders. Within days I was meeting the co-founders of TLC Worldwide and rapidly offered a role as an Account Director. Since then, I have been on an incredible journey around the world with TLC, for almost 2 decades. I would strongly recommend anyone in marketing to speak to Ali about hiring great talent or looking for an exciting role.”

Alex Javer · Chief Strategy Officer · TLC Worldwide
