I worked with Rob Baker when I was searching for my first CFO position, and his approach was incredibly thorough. Rob’s commitment to identifying and introducing high-calibre candidates to his clients was evident from our first interview. He prepared me exceptionally well for each step of the process and kept me updated throughout. Rob was always responsive, highly professional, and approachable with any questions or concerns I had. Even after placing me in the role, he stayed in regular contact to ensure I was happy. I highly recommend Rob to both candidates and employers.

I highly recommend Rob Baker to any candidate seeking new CFO or FD opportunities. Rob is an exceptional recruiter who truly understands the nuances of financial leadership roles and is dedicated to finding the best fit for your career. He is efficient, highly responsive, and kept me well informed throughout the entire process with Earth Security. Rob is also an outstanding communicator—clear, supportive, and genuinely invested in understanding my skills, experience, and career goals. He treats you as a person, not just a prospect, making you feel that he’s listening to you rather than selling to you.

Rob’s approach to candidate placement is unique, as I experienced from our first engagement last year. He works closely with the company and candidate to ensure the best possible fit. His thoroughness, attention to detail, and insightful questioning helped me feel well-prepared for my interviews. This level of support was refreshing and instrumental in my successful placement in my current role. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob.

I have known Robert for over a decade, having worked with him as a candidate and client. My first interaction with Robert was as a candidate. My interview was rigorous and challenging, but I understood he sought the right calibre, quality, and cultural fit for his client. His thorough approach to the candidate search was exactly why I started partnering with Robert on the client side for senior recruitment. His approach works very successfully, delivering many exceptional senior staff to my finance teams over the years. Robert is the person that I turn to for senior recruitment as I know that he will deliver a shortlist of great candidates.

Having placed me at Clear Course in 2019, Robert has successfully hired a number of key individuals across the business. He not only recognises the importance of matching skills but also ensuring the candidate personality fits the profile for a high-growth, private equity environment. His straightforward but passionate approach to recruiting sets him apart from the competition.
