Don’t just take our word for it…

Don’t just take our word for it…

In my 25 years + of being a candidate and a senior manager recruiting I've never felt the need to write a recommendation for a recruitment consultant before but I was blown away with Chloe's professionalism.

Chloe really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for in a role and was able to match me with a wonderful position which not only ticked all the boxes I was looking for from an experience/skills fit, but made sure the organisation and I were a cultural fit. She was in regular contact with me even if only to say she was still awaiting an update from the organisation, going the extra mile all the way.

Chloe is a breath of fresh air in understanding the needs of the clients remit and that of the candidates, I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough.

They understand the brief perfectly and always send over candidates who are the perfect fit for my company.

Will work with again.

Why feedback is a powerful tool in your recruitment process

Why feedback is a powerful tool in your recruitment process

If you’ve ever applied for a job, you’ll know that interview feedback can be like gold dust; that is, in short supply and hard to come by. Even if you do receive it, it typically comes via email and can include such gems as “you weren’t the right fit”, “you were pipped to the post” and “someone scored higher than you on the technical test”. None of these actually tell the candidate anything they are able to use.
