"Dear Allan
I was a little apprehensive about using an agency to find someone to replace me as Editor of Dorset Life, a critical appointment in a small but successful company. However, I have been more than happy with the outcome: a final shortlist of two excellent candidates, either of whom we felt we could have appointed with confidence.
I must thank you for your efficient and courteous handling of this search. It has been a pleasure to deal with you because of what came across as your genuine interest in what we were trying to achieve and your concern to find the right person to help us achieve it. Our dealings on the business side of our relationship have been nothing but cordial.
It have been an exhaustive (not to say exhausting!) process, but, largely thanks to you, an enjoyable one with a successful outcome."
