Abdul had been professional throughout my job search. He made sure he found the jobs suitable and in line with my professional career. He talked me through ever job and briefed me ahead of the interviews. He arranged my interviews, provided pieces of advice and was always available whenever I needed to speak to him. The best part of working with Abdul is his eagerness to obtain results as soon as the interview ended, and then alas! I found a job that I enjoy and ticked all the boxes for what I was searching for! Thank you for the job well done!

Bobby is by far the best recruitment consultant I have ever had the pleasure, as a candidate to work with. Within the first weeks of contacting Bobby, I had secured two job interviews with Absolute Recruit, both of which went to second interview.
I found Bobby to be very honest and understanding. He genuinely cares about his candidates and clients. He has a strong work ethic, is proactive and consultative, making sure he successfully matches his candidates and clients, so everyone is completely satisfied.
Bobby is thorough, efficient, courteous, professional and helpful, which is how I believe a recruitment consultant should be. He gave me a wealth of advice from researching the companies I was interviewing for, interview tips and background information on the companies and their culture
As a prospective candidate, expect Bobby to be prompt and thorough in getting to the heart of your talents and aspirations.
As a prospective client, Bobby will deliver your ideal candidate. He will listen to your requirements, offer appropriate advice and seek the best candidates to meet your criteria.
In future, if I am ever in the position as a prospective candidate or client, I will be contacting Bobby immediately.

I have worked with Bobby a couple of times in my current role and in previous job roles at other companies. I can always trust that he will find a great pool of candidates for any role and is a delight to work with! Bobby and his colleagues take time to understand the important aspects of any role and the company culture before providing a good list of options. We currently have an amazing temporary member of staff Bobby placed with us and he frequently checks in (not too often but enough) to make sure things are going well!

Bobby is without doubt one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with. I have worked with Bobby as both a candidate and a hiring manager and can honestly say he has only ever spoken to me about roles or candidates who were a brilliant fit. He completely understands that a finance role is more than just the ability to do certain tasks, and hits the nail on the head every time with regards to personality and culture fit. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else now and I highly recommend him as not just a resourcer but a true business partner
