The following statements are some e-mailed testimonials that we have received recently from candidates that we have placed :-
"I think it's going really well, and I absolutely love it! The people are all great and have made it really easy for me to settle in. They are all being very helpful in the work context too, answering my stupid questions, and generally giving great guidance in all aspects of the job. It's a great office to work in, and I think it has been a good move for me. The commute hasn't even been that bad, although the evening is generally much worse than the morning. I'm not too bothered by bad traffic, you just have to wait your turn and keep an eye out for the impatient idiots that don't want to!
I would like to say again how much I appreciated all the time that you and your colleagues Liese and Alan put in on my behalf, and the invaluable guidance and advice too. I was very impressed by the professionalism and also the personal touch in the service that you provided, which is something that has often been lacking in other agencies with which I have had dealings with in the past. I would definitely recommend you to any friends who were looking for a job in the sector you deal with! Please do pass on my thanks and best wishes to the rest of the team".

"Thanks for everything you have been really helpful throughout it all since meeting me. All of my other agencies ended up amounting to absolutely nothing! Some of them such as (he mentions one of our competitors here) I don't recall them even getting back to me after they had sent my CV to numerous places" - November 2008

“This is to inform you that I have found employment at ………. as a Knowledge Advisor. But I would like to sincerely thank you for all your help in my search, I dealt with many agencies but your help with my search did stand out. I will be keeping your details for my future career moves; but I will also be happy to forward your details to my colleagues who will be looking for roles outside of the company.
Many thanks again.”

“Thanks for all your help in the last few months, you are the most friendly and candidate caring recruitment agent I have ever met! I will certainly keep in touch after Christmas and I will certainly accept the offer from your client by signing and returning the contract, when I receive it.
Have a good Christmas and new year and I will be in touch after the new year!
PS; Out of the so many recruiters I have met, honestly you were the best one; you got me two interviews in a couple of weeks. Thanks very much for this!!!”

“Today is my last day in the office for ………., but I am going up to Cumbria for a launch tmrw, so this is the last day that this email address will work. Then I start my new job on Monday, so that is really exciting and I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help with getting the interviews and helping me prepare. Hopefully I wont be needing any help with interviews in the near future, but if I do, it will be straight back to you guys!!
Thanks a million and all the best”

“The pleasure was all mine. I was very much impressed by your company and look forward to building a relationship with yourselves in the future. I have looked through the roles you mentioned and do believe I am in a position to be put forward for the roles. I was particular intrigued by the Account Executive role mentioned. I do believe that you are one of the few firms that are able to give me what I am looking for in terms of career options, especially in regards to utilising my previous skills with educational background. As such please feel free to proceed with my application.
Many thanks,”

“I hope you're well, and that 2008 has started positively for you. Thank you very much for the card you sent me - really kind of you. I'm enjoying being at …………. so far, although it's more training than work at the moment, but the people are very nice and the work should be really interesting once I get into the swing of things.
I hope you're having a good week. Thank you so much for my lovely Christmas card - it was really nice of you. I'm settling in well here, and everyone is very helpful. I had a chat with Simon this morning, about the group structure as a whole, strategy, procedure etc, and found it really interesting. The girl whose role I'm taking has left for a new job now, so it's just me and Andrew on a couple of the accounts (handling side). It's a great opportunity for me to learn, and he's a quality person. So all round it's a good place to be :).
I hope you have a good weekend and I'm sure we'll be chatting soon.”
- Delphine
“Sorry to keep you waiting, but I was in the library this morning without my computer. I really enjoyed meeting with you on Friday and would like to work through your team, so I will avoid sending my resume to other recruitment agencies. I appreciate the work you guys have already put in for me.
I'm very excited about the propositions, lots of options. My top choices are …………., ………………, ………………………’ and …………….. These would all be incredible positions. I'd probably also be willing to look into the other two you mentioned, but the locations are not ideal. Wow, I'm actually excited about job hunting...this might be a first. It's nice to feel you have someone on your team!!”
- Amanda
“Two days into the job and so far so good. There’s loads to do and learn but everyone is really friendly and helpful - the opposite of my last company. I think this is the kind of company I have been looking for! Once again, thanks so much for all your help.”

“Just wanted to drop a line to say all is going fantastically at …………... The team are lovely, role is really interesting and I've fitted right in. So a big thank you from me for helping me to get here. Hope all's going well with you.”
- Amy
“ Thanks for the email, was meaning to get back to you! I had a quick chat with my line manager, mentioning what you told me amongst other things, and a day later he came back and said they'd give me a rise - no review meeting or anything!!
Thank you very much :)”
- Clare
“I am well, and am absolutely loving it here, they are such an amazing company to work for, im so very grateful to you for putting me forward for the opportunity!
