Other Testimonials

“ My first real introduction to Stuart and the team was an initial hour’s consultation when Stuart looked at my suitability for the role as well as give useful insights on what my potential employer might expect. Stuart was very clear, setting out details of the role, aspirations for the candidate and indication of salary and benefits. I knew from that point onwards that this was a serious opportunity and he had confidence in putting me forward for it.

I then participated in a multiple stage interview process and Stuart would call me both before and after each step to brief me on what to expect and subsequently ask me how it went. It felt like I had an ally throughout the process which was so helpful in making sure I had everything covered. On the happy day that the offer came through Stuart very capably acted as a third party, reacting quickly to messages to make sure that I secured the opportunity. Where I think Stuart really excelled however is what happened next… I received regular calls with updates on the process, checking in on how I was doing and helping me get ready for my first day. The support didn’t end there and I still get messages and calls, making sure that I’ve settled in well and enjoying the job.

The recruitment process for me has been a very good experience. I feel like I have been matched with an opportunity which is perfectly suited to where I am in my career, my experience, technical knowledge and re-ignited my passion for my work. On that basis I would happily recommend Stuart and the team to anyone in need of their services.”
