Tarka Talent

The Berkeley Partnership case study

The Berkeley Partnership are a specialist consultancy focused on delivering complex transformation programmes. They were founded in London and expanded into the USA in 2016.

Our work with The Berkeley Partnership

 

Our founder, Richard Longstreet, has worked with The Berkely Partnership since 2016. When Richard made the transition back to recruitment from a career in consulting, he was introduced to the business by members of team he had worked in when he was a Management Consultant.

During our partnership so far, we have placed over 15 Consultants into their team with skillsets including:

  • Organisational Transformation
  • Target Operating Model
  • Process Improvement
  • Change Management

Why build a partnership with a recruitment agency?

The Berkeley Partnership have specific hiring requirements. They often search for Consultants with a particular level of expertise with the experience of leading complex transformation programmes.

Having worked with the company for a number of years, our recruitment consultants have developed a strong knowledge of their hiring requirements. This means they are able to quickly identify shortlists of candidates who have the right level of experience for The Berkeley Partnership.

To further support their talent searches, we have assigned a dedicated recruitment consultant who are aligned with The Berkeley Partnership and maintain weekly communication with them. This allows us to exchange insights and feedback, ensuring we’re always meeting the high standards that we expect of ourselves.

"Tarka Talent, led by Richard and his team, have been an invaluable partner to Berkeley and myself for the last 6 years- they are not only great at what they do but also enjoyable to work with. Because they have taken the time to get to know our business so well, they can present our EVP, brand, and values in a really authentic way to potential candidates. We always get really positive feedback from candidates about the personalized care, time, and energy provided by Tarka – important since candidate experience is a high priority for us. On top of that, they are always there when I need them to answer any questions, supply us with market information, or keep us up to date with the latest consulting market trends. I would highly recommend Richard and his team to both other firms looking for a recruiting partner and candidates looking for their next career move!"

"Richard helped me make the move from a large corporate to a brilliant small boutique consulting firm (The Berkeley Partnership). He proactively supported me throughout the recruitment process for several firms, providing insightful advice ahead of interviews so I felt well prepared for every one. I felt he was working for my best interests, taking into account my needs and preferences throughout and as a result I feel I completely made the right move. He stands out from other recruiters with his honesty and openness, and understands the demands of consulting first hand having worked in the industry himself. Richard is someone I can trust and I would absolutely recommend him to support anyone considering making a move in consulting."

"I met Richard in 2018 when I was considering moving from my current consulting firm. Immediately I felt that Richard was a great choice as a recruiter, given he has worked within the consulting industry himself. This factor makes a huge difference as Richard immediately understood my requirements for a new position, and also provided his own experience as additional insight. Richard pitched the new role in a realistic fashion and approached it with honesty and integrity. He listened to my needs and mapped them perfectly with the new firm. In preparing me for interviews, Richard was thorough and offered me all the time I needed to support me. I would highly recommend Richard as a recruiter for anyone within the Consulting industry or in house too. His personable approach is really one to trust! Thanks Richard for all the support - really looking forward to starting my new job!"

"Richard identified and helped to secure a new role for me at a new organisation. Out of all the recruiters who contacted me about this role, he had the best approach, the most evidence of success, and was by far the most genuine. He really took the time to get to know me, and help me to prepare for each stage of a complicated interview process. I would recommend Richard to any experienced consultants looking for a new opportunity."

"In his interactions with me throughout the recruitment process Richard reflected the company that he was representing excellently. Richard's knowledge of the industry allowed us to have a meaningful conversation about the nature of the opportunity and this continued throughout the interview process, offer and post joining. Thanks for your help Richard!"

“I commend the Tarka team on their natural ability to form a genuinely invested relationship with me and presumably other candidates. As a US based candidate, with a UK based recruiter, Tarka were so accommodating to support me at my time and convenience, something I did not take for granted. The team knew their clients and their values inside and out, had meaningful connections in the industry to draw back feedback and follow-up with additional guidance and represented Tarka Talent at the highest level of professionalism.”
