- “We have been working with Essential Personnel for a few months and I am happy to say that we have found good employees through their service. Ellie and Cathy are very friendly and provide a good service especially regarding keeping in touch with us. We hope to continue our relationship in the future.”
Claire - HR Manager - “Despite not specialising in legal recruitment (or perhaps because they don't?) Essential Personnel have the almost miraculous ability to consistently produce candidates who are great fits for our company in terms of qualification, experience, work ethic, personality and enthusiasm, to a markedly greater degree and at a keener price than their city centre competitors. They are always our first call when we are planning recruitment, and are quite often our last. All that, and a pleasure to work with.”
Warren - Director - “Them that say they can do, cannot, and those who say nothing – can do.
This statement sums up my experience of working with Cathy, as a consultant, Cathy does not blind you with what she can do, Cathy simply does it. She understands your needs and requirements and sets about delivering it.
This straight forward approach gives you the confidence you require when recruiting. “
Mark - Sales Manager - “Essential Personnel have recently placed a candidate with us who is proving to be a valuable asset for the firm. The level of communication from Essential Personnel was extremely satisfactory and their professionalism was of high standard. A pleasure to work with. We would strongly recommend Essential Personnel to any companies looking to fill a vacancy.”
Emma - Financial Controller - “We have never used an agency for recruitment before but just struggled to get any decent candidates for our position using the normal channels. Essential were great – easy communication via phone and email meant that is took all the hassle out of organising interviews and trail shifts etc. Worked out really well and we have got the right person for the job!”
Andy - Managing Director - “I have been dealing with Essential Personnel for the past 3 years.
I have found them to be brilliant to work with and have always had the most efficient, professional and successful service from them. My cooperation with Essential Personnel will be ongoing and I know it will always be satisfactory.”
Julie - Managing Director - “I find all the staff at Essential personnel extremely helpful and professional at all times. They listen to the companies needs and go the extra mile to ensure the candidates they introduce have the relevant skills to match the position available. I would recommend them to any company for their honest and reliable approach to recruitment.”
Veronica - Customer Services Manager - “We have been using Essential Personnel for the last few years to recruit our permanent administration staff. They always offer a friendly service and are very quick to respond. We would be pleased to recommend them.”
Anita - Managing Director - “Our business works closely with Essential Personnel who have a good understanding of our business requirements and organisational culture. They continue to find a high calibre of reliable and skilled administration staff while offering us a professional, friendly and responsive service. We have come to learn the successful relationship can be attributed to Essential Personnel’s knowledge of local issues and focus on customer service. In summary they are easy to do business with.”
Mark - HR Director - “I’m leaving Essential after 16 months as I have been offered a permanent position in the role I have been temping at. I have worked for many agencies in the past and with every agency I have had problems with wages, holiday entitlement, tax etc and have spent the majority of my time chasing them to correct their mistakes. I can honestly say that I have not had one mistake to chase with Essential! Everything has been so easy and straightforward. Cathy really goes out of her way to help you and you can tell the agency is so well organised. So big thank you Cathy and if I’m ever unemployed, I’ll be on the phone to you!”
Alicia - “Thank you Essential Personnel for all your support over the past 7 months since we started working together! Cathy – you are a pleasure to speak to and are always keeping me up to date on the candidates. We have had some really strong candidates come though our door that have come via Essential Personnel, always on the look out for candidates that would suit our business – let’s keep up the good work!!”
Kathy - Recruitment Manager - “I have worked with Essential Personnel for many years and would highly recommend them in all aspects of recruitment. They are friendly and approachable with a ‘can do attitude’ to any request. They have recruited from short term temporary, warehouse, office, field staff roles right through to skilled high calibre permanent staff. Essential Personnel have taken time to understand our business and the industry we work in, this is very important in finding the right candidate, this is why I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending Essential Personnel when you are looking to recruit. I would highly recommend any employer looking to recruit staff to speak to Essential Personnel as they are a flexible, cost effective, reliable agency with a strong customer service approach to their business.”
Sue - Operations Manager - “As a Company that says regularly to 'Recruitment Consultants' that we don't use agencies, the fact that we consistently use Essential Personnel speaks volumes. They are friendly, efficient, deal with problems quickly and are an extremely cost effective route to securing good quality members of staff quickly and efficiently. They take a brief quickly and understand our needs well, Essential Personnel really do interview the people they put in front of me and only put those through that can really do the job we have available.”
