“For me 1st Recruitment is my first port of call”
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”
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 would not hesitate to contact or recommend you”
I have really appreciated all the work that you and others at Placing People 1st have done for me and would not hesitate to contact or recommend you.

“I’ll definitely use you again, you’ve been brilliant”
I would like to thank you for your hard word and efforts. If things do not improve or I decide to stay in Guernsey I will definitely use your agency (and recommend you) as you have been brilliant.

“It’s been a real pleasure”
I’d also like to thank Placing People 1st for everything you’ve done in helping me find a job. It’s been a real pleasure.

“Recommending you in the future without hesitation!”
I would like to thank you for all your help with the job search as you have been really helpful and very professional! A true credit to 1st Recruitment and I will be recommending you in the future without hesitation!

“The best consultant I’ve worked with”
I also have to say that you have been the best consultant I’ve worked with and I hope together we can get something ASAP! Thank you for your efforts so far.

“You have helped my confidence grow”
With your help / kindness and support, you have helped　my confidence grow, and put me in a much better place certainty to where　I was when I first met you earlier in the year. Thank-you again for your kindness.

“Thanks so much to your team in the Sydney office”
Thanks ever so much to both you and your team in the Sydney office for all your efforts. You really pulled out all the stops in securing me this role and your industry advice was spot on. I’m so glad now that I chose Sydney over the London role as I believe the opportunity for further development and progression within my chosen area of law will be worth it in the long term. The location isn’t too bad either!

“I appreciate all your help and advice on Singapore”
Just a quick note to say thanks once again for all your help in securing me the Trust Director role. I’ve finally got the contract! All signed and sealed! I appreciate all your help not least your initial advice on the Singapore market as well putting me in contact with Lee with regards to the condo. You have been by far the most proactive recruitment agency I have worked with and I really do appreciate the time and effort you put into this which probably wasn’t made easy by the time difference between your office and Singapore.

“Best decision I have ever made for my career”
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.

“You really are a credit to Guernsey”
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.

“The most pro-active in my search for employment”
Thanks once again for assisting me in obtaining this role. I am really excited and can’t wait to start! To think that just over a month ago I thought that it would only be my husband who would be able to secure work in Dubai! You and your agency have certainly been the most pro-active in my search for employment and you differ from the other recruitment agencies I have been used to dealing with by sending me only relevant jobs. I thank you for that. No doubt will be in touch soon when I look to grow my own team!

“One of the most positive of them all”
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 in 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.

“1st recruitment will always be my first choice”
Just thought I’d let you know how I’m getting on. It’s been really busy and very full on but I absolutely love it! Thanks again for all your help. I hope you don’t mind but I’ve passed your number onto a couple of friends. I told them how amazing you were with helping me find a role. Some of them have been in the same role for years so I think they are a little scared of getting back out there. Again thanks for all your support. 1st recruitment will always be my first choice if I ever decide to move on.

“A big thank you”
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team in securing me this trust director role which can you believe I am now already 4 months in! I absolutely love Hong Kong and although the set up is somewhat different to what I am used to, the company has been very supportive not least with regards to moving the rest of my family over. Your knowledge of the market and attention to detail has been second to none and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends (Hopefully they will follow me to Hong Kong!).

“Had an excellent experience with Placing People 1st”
I am happy to say I had an excellent experience with Placing People 1st. From dropping in without an appointment I was warmly greeted and given clear information. The process was carried out quickly and efficiently with enough detail. Your team were enthusiastic and very helpful with a genuine interest in what I had to say. They advised me on current roles that they thought suitable and have kept in touch ever since. I would definitely recommend Placing People 1st!

“Impressed by their attention to detail”
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.

“Second to none”
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!
