Who we are

"I have worked with Daniel for several years now and have found him to be an excellent person to work with, who is committed and passionate in all he does. I have dealt with many recruiters in my position and have found that Daniel has been the best by far. He communicates well and is 100% trust worthy in all he does, as well as his professionalism in everything he does. I will know doubt be working with him many times again in the future. Great guy."

"Over the past few years Daniel has supported me in the search for a number of high calibre individuals in middle management and at board level. He truly understands lean and the benefits it brings to a company. He applies this on a daily basis when you work with him, always focused, never wasting time, and asking those challenging questions to ensure there is complete mutual clarity. He always brought to the table a high quality short list of candidates, on time!"

“Daniel has been always instrumental when I most needed. His ability to head hunt candidates not only with the expert knowledge necessary for the job, but also with the qualities and principles that would fit the corporate culture has been outstanding. To me that is one of the biggest challenges of external recruitment and Daniel has proven himself more than once! I am very thankful to him.”

"Daniel takes time to understand client needs and builds strong relationships and understanding with them. His knowledge and expertise within his sector means that he delivers the right candidates for the role. He is a trustworthy and reliable partner that I would have no hesitation in recommending."

“Daniel has always delivered the highest standard of candidates and met our requirements both in the UK and in Europe, some of which were highly specialist positions. He has always delivered on time and we were kept informed at all stages of the process. I highly recommend Daniel for his honesty, integrity and excellent work.”

"Daniel consistently exceeded our expectations in bringing to us high-caliber candidates with just the right profiles. Our specific need and our company culture created a very challenging search in the domain of Lean, and among our supplier network, only Daniel was able to grasp and effectively respond to these requirements. Further, his manner in working with us and the candidates demonstrated the highest level of effective relationship management."

“Daniel is an expert in his field. He builds relationships and understanding, before demonstrating his expertise. His focus and attention to detail has always been impressive”

“Daniel is a resourceful, professional and well connected recruitment executive. His industry background together with his focus on detail, entrepreneurial spirit and core knowledge of Lean manufacturing make him an excellent ‘go-to’ person when sourcing skilled and experienced TPS executives.”

“Daniel was recommended to me by a very good friend and ex-colleague who had great things to say about him and his lean headhunting services. I have since come to learn what differentiates Daniel from others in his field of expertise. He balances high levels of integrity, professionalism and lean expertise in a way that really adds value to the candidate. In addition to this, Daniel takes the time to truly understand the candidate and their perspective so that they are best represented when he interacts with the client. Not only would I recommend Daniel to any senior lean experts who are considering their career options, I would also recommend him to any organisations who need a world class service to deliver their lean recruitment campaign."

"In a highly competitive profession, it is easy to find recruitment agencies who "specialise" in business improvement. All too often these individuals merely collect CVs, and use mass marketing methods to achieve their results. Daniel is truly different, and is exceptional at what he does. In finding and matching me to a new role he became part of the process, rather than merely an administrator. His advice, knowledge of the industry and style made the process so much easier for all concerned. I have already recommended Daniel to many of my friends and colleagues, and would have no hesitation using his services in the future, regardless of which side of the process I was on."

“I have engaged with Daniel McDonald of Lean Executives Ltd on several key assignments. Daniel delivered a fantastic service and result and really demonstrated his expertise as a recruiter and a Lean specialist within recruitment. I endorse the work of Lean Executives very strongly.”

Daniel uses his considerable knowledge and network to solve often quite complex issues in a creative way. His personal style lends itself well to getting to the desired results in a realistic time scale and he has always been able to deliver results that have met or exceeded expectations. I have no hesitation in sending people to talk to Daniel to solve their recruitment needs.
