DNA - Dynamic New Alliances 

I first met Ali back in 1999 and everyone I have come across in the agency world since seems to know and respect him. After that first meeting, Ali has been in constant touch and through his many contacts helped me find some brilliant freelance roles. Ali helped secure my latest contract at Engine in 2009 - so it's been a 10 year journey. We have both aged in that time although I've clung onto my hair, probably because he works much harder than I do.

Ali is the consummate professional.

He 'gets' how agencies work and arrives at the heart of the brief immediately.

His ability to match the perfect candidate to the brief is impressive and, as such,

I would have no hesitation in recommending Ali to any agency or candidate.

Where do you start when talking about DNA? They are passionate, professional and tenacious! Ali and his team spend time getting to know you: your strengths, weaknesses and ambition. Fine, don't they all? Ah, but then they work hard, very very hard, sourcing the right opportunities, the one's that you asked him to find for you, not just the ones sitting in the desk draw! And they get results. If I had to recommend just one recruitment consultancy, then Ali & DNA would be it ... everytime!

The key word that I would use to describe DNA is proactive.  Ali was fantastic at going out to approach the type of organisation that would make a perfect fit with my aspiration.  He did so from a point of real understanding.  He spent time to really understand my experience and what I could bring to an organisation and what I was looking for from my next appointment.  Ali understands the business and the role and I found him to be really insightful as we discussed my next move.
