Testimonials

That’s fantastic thank you very much – I must buy you both a drink sometime! You’ve both been brilliant.

SDA has kept me in continuous freelance work for 4 years – Simone and Ayhan combine excellent contacts throughout the industry with a superb understanding of what the different roles require in the business. They are both wonderfully pro-active and I have no hesitation recommending them for their professionalism and positive attitude – it has been a pleasure to have them working for my career.

You guys were one of the only recruitment agencies to call back when they said they would and even took the time to call me the day before my interview to wish me luck and to talk me through what to expect. I'd definitely recommend SDA to anyone looking for a job in the industry.

Trying to find a job after graduation was tough and unless you’re in the hands of a good agency it can seem like a never ending uphill struggle. SDA were fast, friendly and efficient and got me exactly what I was looking for. I’d definitely recommend SDA to anyone. They are without a doubt the most committed and professional agency I’ve come across

A big thank you to you both, MTV is my Dream Job, and thanks for hanging in there. I have been to over 50 Recruitment Agencies in London (it’s true, I was trying to break into MTV), and it wasn’t until I met with you both that I felt that you were the agency that really listened to what I want looked after me! And Even when you hadn’t heard from me in a few months you would call and email me new jobs.
And all I can say is thank you over and over again and I want you to know I will be screaming SDA from the roof tops and telling anyone who will listen that you guys are the BEST!!!
I will definitely keep in touch if there are any changes in plans!

SDA have provided me with a consistent stream of temporary contracts in friendly working environments.
Simone and Ayhan have always been sensitive to my working requirements and provide a professional service whose reputation speaks for itself. I have been with other agencies that do not have such a personal touch and consequently I now only work for SDA.

This isn't like any other agency; they won't call you in and fob you off.
Two years after graduating university I was still looking for my break into broadcasting but just wasn't getting the interviews. I really felt like giving up but after meeting with a consultant at SDA, I walked away feeling encouraged and less than a week later, I had my first interview with the country’s biggest commercial broadcaster and I got the job!! I have been here almost 6 months now and I’m loving it. If it wasn't for SDA, I may still be looking now. I highly recommend them. I would definitely go to them again.

When I got the call from Simone about a vacancy at Al Jazeera International in Doha, I was so excited, SDA kept me up to date with daily phone calls or e-mails to let me know how the process was going and when I would have telephone interviews etc... The process was made very relaxing by Simone and subsequently I was offered the job. I've been in Doha for almost 4months and it's the most fantastic opportunity I've ever been given, thank you Simone.

Having decided to go freelance/short term contracts a few years ago, SDA always somehow seemed to come through for me when I needed them most in finding positions within companies that I respected and admired. Their general advice in regards to the TV industry was invaluable, so even if you’re not sure on what career step to take next it would be worth having a chat with Ayhan or Simone.

I found SDA, extremely professional and helpful. My CV was carefully assessed, and I was almost immediately put forward for an interview, and after careful preparation with SDA, I got the job! Many thanks SDA.

SDA have been extremely supportive and diligent in considering me for roles they think would match my skillset since I first registered with them in 2005. They have consistently done their best to bargain for the best rates and the best positions on my behalf. I would highly recommend them.

The thing that makes SDA stand out is how personal the service is, I didn't feel like a number on the books and if my new career in estate agency goes to pot I'll be sending you my up to date CV!
