Executive Search

Ashley’s professional but friendly and personal approach allowed for the recruitment process to be a lot less stressful for me. Ashley really knows his clients and he took into consideration what I was looking for, which resulted in a successful placement and a very happy candidate.

I’d recommend working with Ashley to anyone who’s looking for a new role

Paul has provided us with some excellent staff over the years and if you are looking for any staff I would highly recommend getting in contact with him.

Accountancy Firm

Paul Mills and his expanding team of dedicated colleagues, at absolute recruitment, have consistently delivered a bespoke service tailored to our rapidly changing “buy & build” group, since my joining in mid 2016. Paul and his team have always been responsive and listen carefully to our specification before supplying a strong shortlist of suitable candidates. It’s a pleasure to deal with the team, who have adapted to the changing needs of our business. However, their exemplary client service continues. My senior finance team trust their team’s judgement and commitment; we cannot ask for more than that.

Group Chief Financial Officer
Office Space & Property Development

Absolute were very responsive and caring with a deep insight into what makes a successful placement. They are not about simply filling the vacancy with just any candidate, and really takes the time to find out what the need is, what the culture and environment is like, and what kind of person you’re looking for. I was not looking to work with another consultant after several bad experiences, but Absolute has proved they are not only adept at filling vacancies but also a great source of support to my team and organisation. They have an excellent rapport and strong communication with candidates, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to either a company or candidate looking for new team members or their next role.

Head of Human Resource
Professional Consultancy

I approached Absolute to help fill a vacancy and within less than a week they found us a candidate. I would gladly recommend Absolute to anyone looking for a professional and dedicated recruitment service.

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!

I have worked with Paul for a number of years and he is a great person to work with, both on a professional and personal front. Having recruited from Paul I can safely say he has an eye for talent and the key skill for any top recruiter – the ability to match his talent pool to suitable roles.

With very little time to spend sifting through CVs and interviewing I can rely on Paul and his firm to provide suitable, high calibre candidates for roles.

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.

Finance Director
Infrastructure

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!

I would highly recommend using Simon for your recruitment needs

We have worked with Reece on a number of vacancies within our technology team and he has successfully helped us to grow our technology team on multiple occasions. Reece has helped us with a number of hires within our technology team and I have remained impressed with his ability to  provide a high calibre of candidates. Working with Reece allowed us to hire the right people quickly without being inundated with CV’s, his ability to learn the important details about our requirements and company culture made for a seamless recruitment process.

I have worked with Reece on several requirements at my organisation and he consistently sent us candidates who were a good match for our vacancies.

If you are looking for a new role, then Michael is the person to speak to. Every conversation that I have had with Michael has been positive, he has always followed up with myself and the client and gets the answers that are required.

He has also helped me to be more confident in the interview process which i am forever grateful for. Gave me great pointers and his understanding of the client needs is amazing.

My main takeaway from dealing with Michael is that he puts you first, tells it like it is and if any improvements need to be made, he will make the suggestion Most important thing of all communication. Always giving you information rather than leaving you hanging.

He is my go-to person for a new role!

Senior IT Engineer

Reece helped me get my latest role. Helped is a very light word to use, as he went above and beyond to keep the communication clear. He would answer my questions after hours and even after we got the deal over the line, he maintained that line of communication to see how I was getting on and settling in. Most recruiters I’ve dealt with treat their clients as a commission cheque, but Reece showed and continues to show professionalism and care for the people he places. He also gives advice on whether to take certain applications, even if it costs him a role placement. This is something very rare in recruiters. I am happy in my new job, if I am ever in a position to help my company recruit I would definitely vouch for Reece

Web Developer

One of the very best recruiters in IT out there, really privileged to know Reece, he has helped me in every part of the process. He would be the top person to go to for jobs relating to IT!

Umbraco Developer

Reece has been a great recruiter for me. He’s placed me in 2 different roles now and the main reason for the second placement was that I was really happy the first time around and contacted him directly to ask if there was anything around that would suit me, before even looking at the job market. Reece has that “personal touch” with the whole process. He takes a big interest in _you_, as a person, to try to find and match you with the absolute best result. I’ve come across many recruiters in the past that will find you a role, but felt that I was a transport layer to commission. This certainly isn’t the case with Reece. If you’re looking for a new role in the IT industry, drop Reece a message. If he doesn’t know of anything right there and then, he’ll certainly go out of his way to try and find something and make it happen for you. Thanks again Reece! =)

Software Engineer

Ashley’s so easy to speak with and took the time to not only go over my experience, but to also understand exactly what type of roles and companies I would be interested in. That attention to my interests and that of his clients, is definitely part of the reason why he was able to quickly put me in touch with a company with the right cultural fit and job role. Thanks, Ashley, for all your help on finding me my new job and the very useful advice and guidance you provided throughout the process!

SAAS Start-up

Having worked with Abdul for the past four years I can’t recommend him enough. Together we have filed several roles within the finance team which continues to grow every year. Abdul takes out time to really understand the needs of the business and provide good quality candidates who fit the bill.

EMEA Financial Controller
Avaition

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

Financial Controller
Retail & Wholesale

Ashley helped me to find a job I love! He was very helpful on every step of the process of the placement and made sure I was well informed all the time (even when he was on his holidays). He is also very friendly and a type of person that you can easily connect with. He is knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Ashley!
