The approach that Emerson Chase took to identify the short list of candidates was refreshing to see. Having used other agencies in the past where a great deal of time is taken, sifting through CVs and first meetings, Emerson's domain expertise shines through making the process much more efficient. In short, we saw better candidates from Emerson than any other recruiter we have ever used. This has had a direct impact on how quickly new hires become effective.

The process started with getting the right understanding of what we were looking for. This for me was very important and I believe you understood what we needed both from a personality and experience perspective. This again reduced the time from engagement to hire. I really appreciated the help and I look forward to working on future roles with Emerson Chase.

I have been lucky enough to have an association with Brad and his team for almost 20 years, during which time I have been both a client & a customer of Emerson Chase.

Throughout my association with Brad I have found him, & his colleagues, to offer the most professional & competent services in the field of specialist recruitment & head hunting. Emerson Chase is the first name that comes to mind when I am considering a career move or when I need to recruit a high calibre candidate. The level of commitment & their attention to detail is what sets Emerson Chase apart from other similar companies.

Brad & his team take time to determine the exact requirement in terms of a candidate & then target the right people, not only with the relevant experience but also those who will fit the profile of the company in which they are being placed. I have experienced this first hand, both as a client of Emerson Chase & as a customer with recruitment needs, they take time to understand what each client & candidate will bring to, & get from the role.

The team’s extensive knowledge of the industries within which they work is essential to the success of any candidate or recruiter, the ability of Emerson chase to put the right candidate in front of the right employer & vice versa, is the reason why I consider Emerson Chase to be my recruitment partner. Brad is a shrewd negotiator who works tirelessly to place the best with the best. I would have no hesitation recommending Brad & Emerson Chase.

Brad and his company has always demonstrated the "Professional" image throughout the process of our relationship. It is very difficult and very important to protect and address the needs and the rights of both parties with the Professional balancing touch. I am very happy that I have dealt with "Emerson Chase" and Brad, who definitely have that touch.

Hakan Arkan - General Manager UAE & Middle East Territories - Fire & Security at United Technologies


I have worked with Brad and his company for many years providing recruitment services for our business. We benefitted greatly from his knowledge and understanding of our industry and of the type of professional we required.

The Emerson Chase team was always full of interest and enthusiasm for our own aspirations and put a tremendous effort into every project.

I have worked with Brad Austin and his colleagues at Emerson Chase in filling a number of key positions in both UK and Middle East. His recruiting techniques are effective in finding suitable candidates and screening out the inappropriate ones.

Garth Watkins - Independent consultant and mentor - SME's (Used Emerson Chase whilst Managing Director at Det-Tronics)


Brad is known throughout the control and instrumentation industry as the best head-hunter in the business. I used him when I was Sales & Marketing Director at Schlumberger and was very impressed with his industry knowledge and ability to source candidates vastly superior to that of the employment agencies. He subsequently sourced an entire sales team for me at Stevens, which undoubtedly turned around an ailing company’s fortunes.

Brad and Emerson Chase should not be perceived as a cost when sourcing staff, but as an external critical business resource that contributes significantly to the successful growth and development of an organisation. Brad has always generated a significant return on my investment in his services, and I have no doubt whatsoever that he will do nothing less for your organisation.

Many organizations spend significant amounts of money on staff training and the development of their employees, but then baulk at the cost of hiring the right staff in the first place; Brad’s talents in sourcing your industry’s top talent should be seen as something that will significantly contribute directly to your company’s profitability.
