Our Testimonials

Candidate: Head of Operations & Commercial – Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

This has been my first experience of working with a recruitment consultant. I have been extremely impressed with Mike’s communication, flexibility and determination to fulfil a difficult brief

Liz Hawkins – Director, Hawkinsport

This was a new role within the business and Mike did extensive initial questioning with regards to the role including understanding personalities involved – more than we had experienced with any other recruitment company.  We felt very prepared as an interviewer, for each candidate, and also felt that the candidates too were well briefed.   Overall a very good experience and would not hesitate to use again, just that the other candidate who approached via other method was extremely well-skilled – we would certainly hope to work with you again on any future roles within Hawkinsport. Felt service levels exceeded our expectations.

Candidate: Junior Account Executive – The Media People

Mike always made sure that I was never left wondering where I stood. And was always there for me whenever I had questions, whether he could answer them right away, or take them to the hiring company. Mike really gave off the impression that he’d always go the extra mile. I think that Mike was very unbiased, and fair sat between his client and myself. But speaking from a candidate perspective, I could tell that he was going the extra mile to secure the perfect position for me. Fantastic service! I had quite a few experiences with recruitment consultants during my job search, and no one really gave off the impression that they wanted the best proposition possible for me quite like Mike did. I can’t really think of any improvements really! Mike was amazing at helping me secure such an amazing position.

Mike has been a great asset to our son over many months while he worked out what he wanted to do after graduating. Not only was Mike consistently available as a sounding board and source of ideas but he also helped with interview practice and planning and preparation for Assessment Centres. It makes a huge difference having a non-family member for a young job seeker to talk to, an external perspective is very valuable (even if expressing the same opinion as a parent!)

Hi Mike hope you are well? Just wanted to let you know today I got an offer for a Digital Marketing role starting in a few weeks!! The contract isn’t going to come through for a couple of weeks. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the work you’ve done for me over the past few months, I wouldn’t have got to this stage without you 🙂

Candidate: Operations Director – VTG

The process from my perspective was excellent and it is one of the best candidate experiences that I have had. You always called when you said you would, and I you really understood the brief of the role, and the culture of the business, which helped me greatly in my preparation. I think the communications were spot on and you kept me in the loop at all times, with regards to the process. Your knowledge of the business and advice/guidance were invaluable. I can honestly say that you are head and shoulders above your competitors, as you add that personal touch, which seems to be lacking these days elsewhere. Far too many recruiters treat the candidates like a commodity, but don’t fully understand that they do so much damage to their credibility. I don’t believe that you need to make any changes, as it’s your attention to detail and personal style that shine through. If I am in a position to recruit in the future, you will certainly be at the top of my list and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who wants the job done right.
