Our experience of Stainsby Associates is, I am afraid, not good.

I was called by the director of Stainsby Associates for a position for which she was head-hunting. She first of all told our receptionist that it was a 'personal call' and when I didn't want to have her put through to me, she was apparently very rude and aggressive towards our receptionist (twice), in the end called us "over-sensitive, petty accountants". Interesting, considering she is obviously recruiting on behalf of a firm for an accountant position.

Clearly she is very ambitious, but hasn't quite the emotional intelligence to go with it. Her company name has certainly stuck in my mind - for all the wrong reasons.
