    I have worked with The Recruitment Consultancy for several years and one of the key differences they offer is that they prioritise understanding your business and the exact skills/experience match, whether it be temporary or permanent. It is really helpful being able to work closely with an agency who research your needs as a client, so thoroughly, and are able to provide high-calibre candidates.
    Kate Sarama, Director of HR, Vapouriz Group, Guildford
    I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Cheryl and her team at The Recruitment Consultancy in Worthing as when I went in to register they made me very welcome. Cheryl is a lovely lady and I will have no hesitation to contact The Recruitment Consultancy if my circumstances change again.
    Gail Collins, Worthing

    Highly recommended! I came across this agency when applying for a job on a third-party website. That one didn’t work out. However, following a quick registration I was presented with two new vacancies, both of which led to great interviews and subsequently job offers… read more >

    Ondrej Matejcek, Guildford, Surrey

    The team at the Recruitment Consultancy in Guildford gave me amazing support and guidance with looking for a first full time role. They were quick at getting back to me and communicating via phone and emails. I was really impressed by the service. Would highly recommend.

    Hannah Francis, Guildford, Surrey

    We have worked with the Recruitment Consultancy for a number of years and always found them to be friendly, professional and courteous. They always find us suitable candidates for both temporary and permanent work. I would highly recommend them for all your requirements.

    Justine Kentfield, Assoc CIPD, Director of HR/EA to CEO, Durrington High School, Worthing, West Sussex

    The whole team in Guildford were supportive and available during the whole recruitment process.  The team really ensure that, as a candidate, you are the right fit for their client. You feel they really care, which is really appreciated in the recruitment industry. I appreciated their close follow-up at every step. I would highly recommend The Recruitment Consultancy for their professionalism and their excellent service.

    Navalona Rabekoto, Guildford, Surrey
    This recruitment agency really do care about the people and succeeding in getting them the right job. So many agencies concentrate on getting the candidate in to any job, but not here. The staff are all so friendly with a wealth of knowledge and understanding. They really do make the stress of job searching less of a strain.
    Celia Bond, Worthing

    Never used a recruitment agency before and Cheryl found me a great job during our first meeting. She is an absolute joy. Surprised at how quick and easy it was. The Recruitment Consultancy team even sent a congratulations card to my work after I started. What a lovely gesture. Linda is also very kind and welcoming and I would definitely recommend this wonderful team.
    James King, Worthing

    Hello Ladies, Thanks for the good luck card which I got this morning. A massive thank-you for being the best at recruitment in the South East (and probably further afield). With you wonderful people doing a great job, it really made a big difference.

    Rob Davies, Guildford, Surrey

    Worked with Cheryl for a number of years now, always a pleasure to deal with and has sourced some outstanding candidates who are now integral members of our team. Don’t hesitate to recommend!

    The staff at The Recruitment Consultancy are super lovely and helpful.

The staff that I dealt with really went out of their way to help me and I got the impression that they really care about their clients so would definitely recommend.

    Emily Hateley, Guildford, Surrey

    Annamarie and the Recruitment Consultancy team have been amazing, helping me find a placement easily and quickly! They are so helpful and went out of their way to look after me! Thank you

    Carla Butcher, Worthing

    The staff at The Recruitment Consultancy have been amazing! Friendly and approachable, efficient, thorough and consistently going the extra mile – they have supported me every step of the way! I would like to express my deepest gratitude for helping me to find and secure my perfect job!

    Vasilisa Dariceva, Guildford, Surrey

    Jane Sweetapple, Worthing

    Sharon has been amazing. She listened to what I wanted to do work-wise and helped me find the right job for my skills, with the kind of company I wanted to work at, with a great offer. Great communication and friendly. Thank you Sharon

    Fiona Mackenzie, Guildford, Surrey

    Sharon and her team in Guildford were super helpful and supportive. I managed to successfully find my perfect role and was communicated with on an ongoing basis which makes things so much better. I highly recommend this recruitment consultancy.

    Laura Jones, Guildford, Surrey
    I have had a great experience with the Recruitment Consultancy. Annamarie and the team helped me get the placement I wanted very quickly and have supported me ever since. They have regularly called me to see how my interviews went and how I was getting on when I started working. They are very available, approachable and efficient and have always answered all my queries very quickly.
    Lucy Pebay, Worthing

    Pete S, Guildford, Surrey
    Cheryl made sure she met me, so we could discuss what sort of job role I was after. She got me two interviews within a short space of time – one of which I accepted, because it was an offer of a permanent role which fitted my required specification I had discussed with her! I would not hesitate to recommend Cheryl and the team at The Recruitment Consultancy.
    Gemma Licence, Worthing

    The ladies at the Recruitment Consultancy are very lovely and always on the ball. I usually get responses within the hour, but, if not within the hour, always within the same day. They contacted me after finding my CV on Reed and I got a permanent job within 2 weeks. They also found me multiple local temporary jobs whilst I waited for my start date. Couldn’t recommend them more! Helpful, friendly and most importantly successful at what they do! Thanks ladies!

    Holly Davis, Guildford, Surrey

    A really good recruitment agency to work with. The consultants helped me secure a temporary job as a student and reached out to me the following year to work for the same company. They are a very understanding agency and always efficient in responding.

    Ms Ezey, Guildford, Surrey
    From the first moment I had dealings with The Recruitment Consultancy I knew I was in the hands of professionals. They really care about what they do and carefully match their candidates to employers and vice versa. I had a great experience and only wish I had gone to them sooner. Big thanks to the team in Worthing.
    Lynn Hendry, Worthing

    A great recruitment agency that helped me find the perfect permanent job and I couldn’t be happier! Would definitely recommend them if you’re looking to find a job!!!

    Lena Gill, Guildford, Surrey
    Had a very good experience with The Recruitment Consultancy in Worthing. They found me a placement very quickly and were there every step of the way and were happy to help with any questions or concerns I had. Very efficient, professional and compassionate. Thank you!
    Katherine Rose Hamblett, Worthing

    Of all the recruitment agencies (4 agencies) that I have been to, they are simply amazing. They were polite, easy to talk to, approachable and most importantly, reliable. From telephone to face-to-face interview, I have to say, it was flawless. I would never have thought they would be so great as a recruitment agency considering my past experiences with recruitment people. Because of them, I now have a job. I would definitely recommend these people.
