Testimonials For Equine Careers
“'Having embarked on a national recruitment campaign, we engaged Equine Careers to help us identify suitable candidates for the role of Regional Sales Manager. From the word go a large number of very qualified and experience applicants were put forward to us, so much so that it wasn't easy to make final selections - a great problem to have! Throughout the recruitment process, Emma was extremely helpful and responsive. If you are looking to fill office and professional vacancies within the equine industry, my advice would be to look no further than 'Equine Careers'.”

“Its my last few days at UCAB after 12+ years and I wanted to send you a note as I leave to say goodbye and thank you. You have been a key stakeholder not only for the equine curriculum offer at UCAB, but also for me personally as you have helped me to bang the drum in terms of embedding commercial skills into the curriculum. I strongly feel that graduates need to leave a degree with employable and rounded skills which cover things like digital marketing, business and financial awareness as well as industry and market knowledge. Over the time I've been here I've been able to evidence that employers want this and you have definitely helped and supported me to craft UCAB's degree offer so it looks more like this today.
I've watched EC grow since I became an HE lecturer in 2011 and have always been so impressed by your ability to spot an opportunity, carve out a niche and make a true success out of it. You've also provided me with the best evidence and case study there is, enabling me to constantly refer back to Equine Careers to highlight all the commercial skills needed in the equine industry in the 21st Century.
So I thank you very much for all the Technical Advisory Groups you've sat on, the industry and employer engagement and all your input to better inform our curriculum, but more than anything for just 'getting it'.”

“I have been using the Equine Careers Agent Database since I first decided to become an agent and work for myself and it has been a decision that has served me and my business well. I have had a lot of contact from prospective companies wishing to engage with me and represent them in my chosen territory and were it not for Equine Careers this would not have been possible as these companies would not have been aware of my availability. Equine Careers offer a super service to agents and companies alike and for the small registration fee you get super value for money. In my opinion there is no better or more cost effective way to advertise yourself as an agent in the Equine Industry.”
