I wanted to let you know that I've accepted the role with Grafton Group as Group Head of Technology Strategy and Architecture.
Thank you for the help you gave me along the way. Your feedback on the CV, and pushing me to make it outcome based rather than a description of what I'd been responsible for, made a real difference. That's the version I used throughout, and it changed how the conversations went.
I'm grateful you gave me the time.

Ben has helped me on both sides of the recruitment business. He was the recruitment agent that placed me at Royal Mail, and since then he has provided good quality candidates for both permanent and contractor vacancies in my team. What impresses me most about Ben, and the reason he is the only agent that I have written a recommendation for, is his attitude and knowledge. Ben wants to do the right thing by his candidates and clients, and takes an interest in their requirements. He also has great knowledge of the enterprise architecture and data business. I would happily recommend Ben for clients and candidates alike.

I've known Ben for years and he has both found me a job and recruited for me. He is one of the few recruitment consultants I have come across who understands IT architecture. He is able to look at candidates from both technical and professional viewpoints, across roles ranging from junior architects to senior enterprise level.

Ben is a rare breed in recruitment in the fact that he really does understand Architecture and Strategy. The people he placed at RSA were all exceptional candidates which was due to him doing the initial interviewing and filtering. I worked for Ben's agency (for 2 1/2 years) and very pleased to say he promptly paid all invoices within 5 days of submission.

I've known Ben since 2016, a pleasure to work for as an associate. He knows what he wants, cut's through the treacle as they say and will definitely tell you what he doesn't want. Which is exactly what you need.
His understanding of Architecture, recruiting the right talent for the right role is a testament to architecture recruitment, which we all know is not one of the most easiest of disciplines to recruit for! He's at Gartner on a regular basis, and the architecture networking evening events - the latest "The value and effectiveness of Architecture 2023" speaks for itself in terms of understanding the role architecture plays for any given organisation.
The move into providing dedicated software to help communicate "Architectural Roadmaps" is a testament to Ben in appreciating the specific need and limitation of such key capabilities in the market. Good luck in the new venture and many thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with the Konvergent team.
