After eight years in my previous role, starting at a new company could have been so scary, but the welcome here has been unbelievable. Every single colleague here is incredible at what they do, and supportive, welcoming and genuinely cares about our wonderful sector; I couldn't be more delighted with the move. Peridot's track record and reputation are second-to-none, and I'm excited to be a part of it.

It's a pleasure to have found such a caring and collaborative bunch of people. Peridot was flexible long before COVID and is still today. As a parent, I can balance family commitments with delivering for clients and candidates. I couldn't be more delighted to start my second decade of finance charity recruitment here.
