Testimonials.
After graduation, I was able to easily and quickly find employment at a company that I really enjoy working at thanks to Emily through her direction and recommendation. She's also been thoughtful and proactive, checking in on me to make sure that all is well. I recommend her highly!
I had a great time working with The Talent Crowd.
From application to training, up to the stage of posting. It was seamless.
It was particularly easy working with Rosie, and she kept great communication all the way and ensured I was happy where I worked.
I would recommend The Talent Crowd and working with Rosie especially
May I also say that I am very impressed with your approach to how you are interviewing the candidates yourself and your feedback on them to me in the first instance. This has reduced my interview time with the candidates.
Also, both candidates have exceptional qualities for the role.
You have definitely picked up on what I am looking for and ensuring the right people are being sent.
I have been with the agency for a few months now and have been dealing with James.
I would like to say James has been extremely helpful throughout my time with the agency.
When things have been stressful, he has made sure everything possible is done to make things happen and to make things right.
He has checked up on me to see how I have been getting on even if he has been out of office there has never been a time where he hasn't been contactable and helpful.
This is appreciated and I would like him to receive excellent feedback and would like the higher part of the department where he works to notice all of his hard work and excellence for your company.
I would like to express my appreciation for the support and assistance Madge Smith has given me over the last year, she has gone above and beyond to support me.
Kind regards
Madge Smith is no ordinary Smith and she may well be one of a million with this infamy surname..but she certainly stands out from the crowd….pun intended.
Her attention to detail , patience, empathy and genuine des to help procu employment for her clients is superlative to say rather least.
Madge has left no stone unturned in her quest to find me the ultimate role and she continues to explore all avenues open to her.
It’s easy to discern that she cares about people and isn’t just “doing a job”.
I’m absolutely delighted at all her endeavours these past few weeks and would never hesitate to recommend her to my close friends who are seeking employment.
Forget John Smith
Forget Smith’s crisps…as yummy as they are
Forget Smith and Wesson
Forget Smith and Jones
Please do remember…… Madge……do I need to remind you of the surname.
What an absolute star.
Thanks Madge. 😊⚽️🍰
James has been a pleasure to work with during my job hunt. I have dealt with a lot of recruitment agents and have experienced the same pattern with them all, barre James. James listened to what I was looking for in a role, he only called me with roles which were suitable for me, he called me when he said he would and provided a seamless service. I really do appreciate all James’s hard work; without him I would not have found that role I am in now which is a great fit. May I also add that he is very polite and patient as I was not his easiest client 😊
Not really one to write testimonials but credit is due where is credit is due! I was looking for urgent employment and decided to ring a few of agencies, after speaking to a couple , I felt as though I was being treated as a number rather than an individual. That was up until, I spent 35 minutes on our initial call with Madge. The woman made me believe in my experience, skillset, and knowledge even more. The conversation made me sign up and register with the agency straight away. Roughly, 2 weeks later I found myself in a role which I really enjoy and with Madge in regular contact, It makes my job a lot easier and less stressful. Thank you Madge!
Once again, thank you so much Alex for all your support of the past few months. You have been a great asset to Alistre, always responding quickly to our requirements and your staff have been reliable and professional.
Absolutely brilliant.
Callum Jackson is an excellent example of a Legal Recruiter. I approached him about a legal vacancy and at the same time he mentioned another I had not seen. I ended up getting an interview and job offer for the position Callum had suggested. The interview process was smooth and Callum was very helpful throughout. He quickly responded to emails/calls and kept me updated. Due to his efforts I was able to secure a suitable role quickly. I would not hesitate to use his services again.
Well done!
This is just to let you know how exceptional you have been.
Your support to making sure I got the job to your support even afterwards is absolutely commendable.
A huge thank you for this Amazing opportunity and the work you are doing.
Thank you
It’s been brilliant having you as my recruitment officer. You’re always so polite and happy if there’s ever an issue you get right to it and try your best to get it sorted.
It’s a pleasure having you, never have to worry everything is always done and if it’s not you will be very honest about the process.
Overall I have no worries or concerns, I think you are fabulous Madge and I appreciate everything you do for me☺️
I feel compelled to write to you to say what a refreshing experience it has been dealing with David at Talent Crowd. The whole process of recruiting for various roles within the business was effortless from start to finish. He understood the brief and within a very short timeframe found candidates we wanted, and I never felt as though he were sending CV’s to me for the sake of it.
I would not hesitate to use David again and highly recommend Talent Crowd. A pleasure doing business with you.
"I just wanted to say a few words. I have been working at ***, it's just a great firm and a very good place to work in. Without Amy's perseverance on my behalf, I wouldn't have known of this opportunity. She went above and beyond to find me a suitable role and has been of great help. "
Just wanted to follow up in writing with what I’ve said throughout this process.
Even though the job I originally applied for decided against perusing with my application you sorted out another job that aligned with my experience just as well.
Had it not been an out of this world, unexpected, counter from my current employer, I feel that job offer would have been a fantastic opportunity for me.
I have found you engaging, helpful, informative and always put my best interests first throughout this job search process. I think the communication we had throughout the process was great.
Also in terms of interview prep, you aided me exactly what I needed.
Overall I’d recommend you to anyone looking for their next step in their career and vice versa to any company needing aid in recruitment.
"My dream job was to become an outreach family support worker. I had some experience of this from previous roles. I was coming to the end of my 3-year degree and decided to start looking for work. I came across Talent Crowd and got in touch with Madge. We had a conversation, and I sent my CV out not feeling very hopeful, after working with me on making my CV stand out Madge sent it off to different employers. Within a week I was invited to an interview (one in my wildest dreams). I received a call from Madge who said I was offered the job. Sadly some things became apparent and I was no longer able to progress in this role. I was devastated thought that was my only chance. Then Madge told me she wasn’t going to give up and my word she didn’t! I was offered an interview the following day and then started 3 days later. I am still in this role and one I have hoped to do for a long time. Madge constantly keeps in touch, and nothing is too much trouble for her. I had an issue with wages (a mistake on my behalf) and Madge was on it straight away! I am so glad I found Talent Crowd and became a candidate for them! This may sound cliché, but they have changed my life. I was at a low point and finally feeling back to myself! I am so glad Madge didn’t give up on me and kept trying! Wonderful lady!"
Victoria is one of the most amazing and pleasant recruiters I’ve ever met. After I was made redundant, I explained to her what I wanted for my next role and she listened, got me the perfect job within 2 days. I also appreciated the words of encouragement she gave to me when I explained my worries and fears about going for interviews. She’s just the sweetest with her congratulatory card as well I got on my first day of work. I’ve recommended her to several people and she’s just the best!! Her follow up calls, words of encouragement and pleasant personality! What more could you ask for in a recruiter!
Emily has been a massive help in not only sourcing and connecting with vacancies, but in preparing for them too. No other agency I have dealt with has provided as much support as Talent Crowd and I am very grateful for the opportunity Emily helped me make the most of.
Callum went above and beyond to secure an offer that was right for me. He truly aims to achieve what is best for candidates - hearing what is important to them and making sure he truly represents their interests. Callum made himself available whenever I had a question and always made sure to check in with me at key points throughout the journey. Callum also provides a high level of service- he would respond quickly and always called or emailed you when he promised to. I will definitely recommend Callum to anyone looking for a new role.
My process started with Owen at the beginning of the year. I was in a job that I couldn't see myself in for the long term and was looking for a change in the sector that better suited my caring nature.
From my first conversation with Owen I really felt like he took everything that I wanted from my next job on board and started offering me different roles close to home and suited to I was looking for.
I was still in my previous role when I started going through my compliance but I really felt like Owen stayed in touch at all points in the the recruitment stages ensuring I knew an estimated start date to time my notice.
Unfortunately, I had to leave my role earlier than expected due to my previous company not needing me to complete my notice period and Owen managed to amend my start date in my new role to the following week bringing it forward a month. The time that Owen has put into my process made the transition to the new job really easy for me and I couldn't be more thankful.
I am now a month into my new role and the team I am working with have been so inviting and lovely. It's been the perfect start and I couldn't recommend Owen and The Talent Crowd more!!
I have no hesitation in recommending Conor. He has been an amazing asset to us, only ever providing candidates that were relevant for each mandate we asked him to fulfil. His super personable manner has made him a joy to work with and actually, the best recruiter to deal with on our PSL. I have been in recruitment since 2005 but learnt several valuable lessons from Conor on how to interact with clients; he was always professional, good-natured and provided the highest level of service at all times. I am looking forward to continuing to work with Conor, hopefully over the course of many years.
Victoria is an excellent recruiter and helped me find a job which suited all my skills and would allow me to achieve growth and my personal goals.
Victoria took the time to listen and learn who I am and what would suit me best, and then found a role which satisfied all these needs. She is super helpful and was straight on the phone reassuring me with any questions I had. I’ve never come across a recruiter who cares so much about people finding the perfect role as much as Victoria does and I would 100% recommend her if you are looking to switch roles. Thanks Vicky!"
