Really positive experience working with Ben.

He was quick to understand what I was looking for and only put forward roles that actually made sense. Communication was excellent throughout, always clear, responsive, and easy to deal with.

He also gave useful context before interviews which helped me go into conversations feeling prepared. The whole process felt smooth and well handled from start to finish. I could not recommend Ben highly enough!

I genuinely cannot recommend Ben highly enough. From the very first conversation, it was clear that he has a deep understanding of the personal care and beauty contract manufacturing industry, which immediately set him apart from other recruiters I’ve worked with.

Ben moved incredibly quickly without ever compromising on quality. Every opportunity he introduced was highly relevant and clearly aligned with both my experience and my long term career goals. He took the time to really understand what I was looking for, not just on paper, but in terms of culture, growth, and expectations.

What really stood out was his preparation and support at every stage of the process. From initial briefings to interview preparation, he ensured I went into every conversation feeling confident and fully informed. He had a strong grasp of the role requirements and expectations, and was able to give real insight into the business, the team, and the hiring managers, which made a huge difference.

Ben was always available to answer any questions I had, no matter how small, and handled everything with professionalism, transparency, and genuine care. I always felt like he had my best interests at heart.

Thanks to Ben, I have secured a role that is a perfect fit, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

If you are looking for the perfect next opportunity within this industry, Ben is the recruiter you need.

I’ll definitely be using Ben to build out my own team soon, feels only fair after he’s done such a great job placing me!

Lauren was fantastic to work with from her initial outreach, to keeping me informed of updates throughout the interview and offer process. She has been transparent and answered all my questions with data and informational documents. I would highly recommend from a candidate perspective.

Ben was communicative, prompt, clear and efficient. Working with him was seamless and quick!

Lewis and Olivia were great to work with through the entire process! Lewis, my initial contact, did a fantastic job in keeping me updated as discussions progressed. Olivia came in towards the end of this lengthy process and helped bring everything to closure! They communicated and worked together well as this dynamic situation unfolded. I have only great things to say about Lewis and Olivia!

Lewis was an absolute blessing to work with!!!

I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, dedicated and career focused individual.

Aoibhinn brings a refreshing approach to search. She is extremely detailed and organized! Every client discussion came with detailed preparation and clarity. Her passion for details and understanding made the hiring process productive and quick. I would recommend her to any organization looking to upgrade their talent in a quick and confidential way!

Lewis and Olivia were AMAZING to work with!!! I really appreciated their help and support through the process and would 100% recommend them to anyone. 10/10 awesome job! 😊😊

Working with Aoibhinn was an exceptional experience. We first connected about a different role that ultimately didn’t move forward, but she stayed in touch, kept me updated, and reached out again with a position she felt would be a great fit. She was absolutely right — I just received the offer.

Throughout both processes, her communication was consistent, clear, and incredibly supportive. Even with a five‑hour time difference, she made time to speak with me and ensured I always knew what to expect at each stage. Her dedication and professionalism truly set her apart.

I highly recommend Aoibhinn and the Novaris team to anyone who has the opportunity to work with them.

Ben was incredible! Great conversationalist, very motivating and also completely honest. He was refreshing, and also made sure that even while he went on a brief vacation that a colleague could connect with me (Olivia— thank you so much) who was also just as amazing. The process was very quick and Ben followed up quickly too.

Aoibhinn was amazing! Always great communication throughout the process. Very professional and on top of everything. Couldn't have went any better. 5 stars! Thank you!

Outstanding water treatment and specialty chemical recruiting job by Josh Kennington at Novaris Search Company.

The initial outreach experience was everything you could want. Ben Symonds was thorough in explaining the role that we were exploring as well as sharing his experience with the company and prepping me for an initial interview and in person interview. He was there every step of the way. Additionally, he was available and so kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the personal care field looking for their next chapter.
Unfortunately, for the role we explored, while the JD was a perfect match on paper and aligned with my expertise and what I love about project management; the organization and leadership oozed nothing but red flags. Leadership was very high on themselves and made sure to insert they are the "founders" and "know everyone" in every question and point. At least the misrepresentation was obvious. I have been so fortunate to have held roles in incredible organizations with true leadership throughout my career. However, there will definitely be candidates that can fit that organizations mold.

Unfortunately the downside was organization, but as far as Ben Symonds goes, he has every attribute you could possibly want in a recruiter. Professional yet, kind. He takes the time to really get to know the candidates and provides outstanding advice and feedback. The prep provided is unparalleled. He makes the process everything a candidate needs and looks for when beginning their career search.

For me, I started the search for my next venture on my own and am grateful enough to have been able to explore various opportunities. A key factor to make that leap is longevity (growing organization, strong leadership, professional yet supportive culture and role I can provide a positive impact on). It's worth waiting for the right opportunity. In the meantime, providing support to organizations to help implement and train on PM and MRP software and help create tailored timeline templates has provided levels of learning and knowledge I could not have imagined.

If companies want a top tier recruiter to find true talent with all the criteria an organization could need and want to facilitate growth, they need to reach out to Ben.

Olivia was utterly outstanding from start to finish! I've never encountered a more dedicated, sincere, and prompt recruiter. She genuinely cares about the business she represents and about matching the right person to ensure a perfect fit, which is paramount for the future success of both! Absolutely a 10/10 experience!

I worked with Rory Carter. His professionalism and dedication to the client was incredible. With his steady hand of guidance and attention to detail, the enitire process was seamless and I am now in a new position that is a perfect fit.

I cannot recommend him enough - he is simply the best to work with!

Working with Rory was an absolute pleasure. He listened carefully to what I was looking for, presented a high quality opportunity, and kept me undated every step of the way. Thanks to his professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care, I landed a role I'm truly excited about. I highly recommend Rory to anyone looking for their next opportunity!

Olivia and Jake are amazing! Helped me find a role outside of the field I was apart of for 20+ years. Without their support I don’t believe I would’ve been considered. Very responsive and knowledgeable about the roles they are trying to fill. Would reccomend every time!

Rory was a true partner in my career journey. He was patient, professional, and met me where I was as I worked toward my next leadership role. After months of collaboration, he helped me land the perfect fit. I’d recommend Rory to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely invests in your growth and goals.

Harry was diligent with his presentation of the opportunity. Always making I was kept in the loop during the interview process. Thanks Harry!!

Rory was an excellent help in my job application process! Could not have asked for a better representation and professionalism throughout my job hunt. Definitely would recommend Rory to someone who is looking for a future career!
