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.
The team at the Recruitment Consultancy 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.
The Recruitment Consultancy have been my agency of choice for almost 20 years. The staff are so helpful and have provided an honest, effective recruitment solution to our business by taking the time to understand the job specifications and ensuring the candidates submitted are the right fit for our business… read more >
Sharon and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with. I had never worked with a recruitment agency before, but I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They were able to recommend job opportunities that I wouldn’t have considered… read more >
The whole team was supportive and available during the whole recruitment process. They 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.
Working with The Recruitment Consultancy has been a fantastic experience for our company. They have delivered more consistent results than other agencies we’ve worked with over the years and always been a delight to deal with.
The staff at The Recruitment Consultancy are super lovely and helpful. I went in for a meeting/interview so they could really get a grasp of what I was looking for in a career which enabled them to find potential jobs that I would be interested in. 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.
I want to thank Sharon and all her team at The Recruitment Consultancy for helping me find my next role. They are extremely professional with regular updates and always go the extra mile. They are also extremely caring and very personable – a great combination in this market. I would highly recommend to anyone.
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!
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.
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.
I first sent my CV into The Recruitment Consultancy whilst I was at University. I have been in constant contact with them since then (2012 – present) where they have provided me with temporary roles that suit me and my availability… read more >
A great recruitment agency, they helped me find the perfect permanent job and I couldn’t be happier! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to find a job!!!
I found out about the Recruitment Consultancy from my mother who found a job totally suited to her through the agency. My main aim was to see if I could find an undergraduate placement or a year in industry with a law firm. I began looking on my own and wasn’t getting anywhere… read more >
Of all the recruitment agencies (4 agencies) that I have been to, they are simply amazing. They are 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 them.
Sharon and her team 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.
Outstanding! Sharon and the team are truly one of a kind. Having dealt with a large number of recruitment consultants whilst looking for work, it was super refreshing to work alongside an agency that actually care about the candidate and finding the right job for them, unlike the majority of other agencies… read more >
The team 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! Thank you!
