About Us

“Friendly, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with”
On a personal level – The 1st recruitment team are super friendly, know the market well and are a pleasure to work with.

“We see you as one of our main partners”
We do enjoy working with you guys and always find you all helpful and extremely friendly. Your CVs are good and clear which makes them easy to read. Whenever we email you we always hear back straight away and you all provide feedback following on from candidates’ interviews. We see you as one of our main partners when it comes to recruitment and you are always on our list when we have to reach out for any additional help or have a confidential query. All in all a pleasure to work with!

Most definitely, for me 1st Recruitment is my first port of call, you are all professional, give us CV’s that are completely relevant and a high percentage of the vacancies are given to the candidates that your office put forward. Your staff are a dream to work with, very personable and professional, you are all a pleasure to deal with. A big thank you for being there and help make my life so much easier.

I think it’s fair to say that 1st is a good partner. Any request I have made has been accommodated, particularly the screening piece and the PES Team’s careful management of this has been fantastic. You already know how pleased I am with our contact, she has a lovely, personable manner and the way she turned round my two recent temps (In less than 3 hours) was amazing. We have many snatched conversations, but she is not phased at all and takes it in her stride, she’s an excellent recruitment consultant, I deal with a lot and she is definitely the best.

“Overall I think you deliver a fantastic service”
The service we received from 1st is excellent. When we had issues they were dealt with professionally and quickly. We have been supported by the agency throughout which has made it easy for us to manage internally and find resolutions quickly. The CV layout they use is clear and concise, easy to read and evaluate the profile quickly. We have had many interviews and placements through 1st Recruitment and can go to them for confidential recruitment support, advice on the markets and general feedback.

I just want to say thank you so much for all your help and your patience in me, best decision I have ever made for my career. I would like to give you an opportunity to do it all over again for a special person of mine and I have mentioned how wonderful 1st Recruitment is and how you really helped out a lot therefore, they are keen to meet you and for you to help them out with seeking a job/career.

Please pass on my thanks to the rest of your team. You really are a credit to Guernsey. I’ve been turned away from three agencies in the past, due to my lack of experience in Finance, but Placing People 1st gave me a chance and I’ll always be grateful for this.

I have been to a few agencies in the last few weeks, and I’ve got to say the meeting I had with you was one of the most positive of them all. I think this is proven by the fact that we have already put my details across for a job! I found the environment of Placing People 1st welcoming and relaxed, but also professional.

My meeting with 1st Recruitment went very well; armed with all the information I had provided, together with details of a couple of opportunities of real interest. Within a few days, they had sent my CV to a well-established law firm, and my first meeting was arranged – this ultimately led to the position I accepted and am now enjoying very much. The speed of 1st Recruitment’s activity was great, and I was impressed by their attention to detail in relation to the type of work and type of organisation in which I was interested. Regular updates were provided, which reassured me that she was working hard on my behalf.

I can honestly say that your recruitment agency is second to none and my experience can only be described as excellent, very professional, uplifting and encouraging. Excellent service all round and I will be certainly singing your praises!
