My client & candidate testimonials
Gareth is an incredible recruitment partner who I have thoroughly enjoyed working with on many sales vacancies. Gareth has impeccable credibility when recruiting for the various sales levels of an organisation, due to having performed to a very high standard in sales. Gareth has placed many talented sales personnel for me, who have gone on to be top performers for our organisation. Great and fun to work with, I would recommend Gareth for any recruitment needs.
Gareth has been one of the best recruiters I have had the pleasure to work with. He took time to listen to my requirements and did not just send me on pointless interviews which were not suitable for me. He took the time to listen and source out the opportunity he thought best suited me. During the interview stages he called me and supplied me with information which would assist me during my interviews. He also helped me loads when i had to put a presentation together for my final interview. I cannot thank Gareth enough for all his help and guidance which landed me my perfect job.
After spending the best part of 2 months looking for a job with various recruiters and agencies trying to find the golden job opportunity, I was consistently put forward for jobs I either had little interest in or opportunities I was less skilled for. Fortunately, I came across Gareth who was able to identify my skills and expertise and put me forward for an opportunity I was best suited for, and the following day I accepted the job offer. It’s rare these days to come across understanding, friendly, thorough and skilled recruiters like Gareth who take the time to see what you want instead of filling up the minimum amount of candidates for an interview. I would recommend you give Gareth a call if you’re job searching without any regrets.
