Loved working with David! Honestly, I hate recruiters, most are self-absorbed people just out there for a commission. They don’t give proper feedback and most of the time don’t get back to you if you... See more

Jammy Recruitment

I was 'Jammy' to have found such an excellent recruitment agency! I dealt with David who gave me excellent advice and support through the interview stage and was not 'pushy' like some other Agencies. David is there for both the Candidate and Potential Employer in ensuring that a perfect match is made.

I love the fact that you have managed to squeeze 'Jammy' into the review.

It was an absolute pleasure and I wish you all the best with your current employer. And please remember the action plan I described so that you are within the 8% of people who stay more than 12 months following a counter offer.

Very knowledgable

David is great and knows the market and roles. The feedback and advice on CV building and experience to pull out was very helpful

It was an absolute pressure Chris. And most of the time an independent sounding board coupled with somebody who is seeing many diverse CV’s can provided very targeted and specific advice. So I’m glad my advice has been so helpful to you.

David was absolutely fantastic to work with. He went above and beyond and most importantly would always listen to my views and requirements. I actually decided not to proceed with the advertised role with David but he was totally understanding and applied no unnecessary pressure. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with David again.

LE thank you so much for your review. I firmly believe that you should treat people how you wish to be treated yourself. And whilst we have all had the experience of somebody trying to apply unnecessary pressure that is not the approach from Jammy Recruitment. We quite often advise people that they are not suitable and in your specific situation, I do agree with your decision. And even if I didn't I wouldn't challenge it because I respect you, your career and the fact that you are making the right decision for you and your family. Our paths will cross again and all the best for 2022!

Best Recruiter I have come across.

Best Recruiter I have come across. Fully understands your needs and the role you are looking for. Provided me with a lot of support as well as a mock interview. Unfortunately, I did not get the job but gave me a thorough feedback, which made a big difference to my self confidence. Would love to work with him again!

It was an absolute pleasure to support you with the mock interview K. And to provide feedback. In fact, I ensure that all candidates receive quality feedback as it's only fair to mirror their/your commitment to preparing for an interview. Don't worry we will get the opportunity to work together again soon, I'm convinced about that! All the best. David

A joy to work with!

David at Jammy Recruitment is a joy to work with! He took the time to listen to me and my reasons for exploring new opportunities. He offered sensible advice and offered solutions and options that I had not considered or knew were available to me.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jammy Recruitment to candidates and recruiters.

Jammy will make it happen!

This is no ordinary recruitment agency. Not only have I been matched to my dream job, the whole process was a very pleasant experience. David Stevens is the man! unlike other recruitment agencies, David will listen to your goals in life. He has gone above and beyond for me and can't thank him enough for making this all happen. Thank you Jammy!

It was an absolute pleasure Jay!

Recruitment is relatively straight forward; listen first and talk second.

So I'm so delighted that I have been able to assist you in getting your dream role.

On a personal level, I can't wait to watch your career journey.

Because it's about to take off! Very fast. So hold on. And enjoy the ride.

Overall David was a pleasure to speak and deal with. He communicated frequently through the interview process, offered support on interview prep/questions and happy to be sounding board on presentation ideas. I would highly recommend him to business looking to recruit; focusing on what helps to progress an individuals career whilst meeting employers objectives.

I always say it but it is a two-way process. And therefore it's imperative to truly understand each and every candidates career aspirations ensuring that there is a natural match to the role. Otherwise it just won't work out which isn't in anybody's interests. All the best. And if you ever need an independent sounding board for roles you are exploring (they don't need to be with Jammy Recruitment) please do call. David

Great Experience

David's approach, manner and overall service was unique, personal and professional which is a refreshing change when the opposite is far too common.
Would highly recommend.

Excellent experience …

So refreshing to talk with a recruiter who understands the retail landscape and has the ability to match the needs of both recruiter and candidate

A very positive experience and a true professional who knows his craft

I’d recommend to anyone

I'm so appreciative that after just one conversation you have been able to see the value and quality that I can bring to the recruitment process.

Clearly having the experience of the sector and knowledge of the role in which I am recruiting definitely helps me to have the right conversation.

Because as we both know. This process is two way!

And I'm glad to be part of your on-going search.

Hero

David took the time to truly understand my requirements for the roles, our company culture and our values. Utilising his knowledge and experience he ensured complete clarity on the calibre of candidates I needed. As a result he found some great candidates who were genuinely engaged in the process and were excited about our business.

Each candidate came with a clear rationale about why they they were right for the role. This significantly reduced the time I spent on recruitment giving me more time for the day job. As well as this David's ability to make the whole process stress free and fun made a massive difference.

Hero.... I love that title!

I'm so glad that the whole process was made stress free and fun. As you'll know recruitment (especially in today's market) can be extremely stressful with counter-offers and candidates withdrawing but working collaboratively and in partnership made this possible. Equally I appreciate you listening to my advice and staying flexible to each (and every) situation.

And I'm so happy that you have got two high performing individuals joining you imminently.

David helped me so much early on in my career. I was looking to get some experience in finance and David helped me by giving me the opportunity to grow and develop in his finance team at Sanctuary Housing. I was a student at the time but David gave me genuine responsibility, meaning I improved my skill set very quickly over a short period of time.

He was a fantastic manager, incredibly dedicated to getting the best out of everyone he worked with. I am sure this commitment will serve him well in recruitment.

I quite often say "that you create your own luck in life". Genuinely you're drive, determination and commitment for your own personal development shone through from the first minute we met. As a result it was easy for me to "mirror" your behaviour and provide an environment for you to succeed. It's great to see your career is going so well but it's nothing more than you deserve!

Great experience - a rare breed in the recruitment sector

David was friendly, approachable and understands finance, he took the time to ensure the role he put me forward for was right for me in terms of skill set, experience and long term aspirations. I would have no hesitation using David as a candidate or in capacity of a hiring manager

I'm so pleased to hear that my approach and finance experience has enabled you to make an informed decision on your career and next role. I simply see myself as a facilitator and navigator with open, honest and impartial advice. All the best in your new role, you'll be BRILLIANT!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent experience, cut above the rest!

Knowledgable, supportive, attentive are three words I would use to describe David at Jammy.
My previous experience of recruiters in the finance space was exhausting and monotonous to say the least.
When I approached David about a role, he got in touch within the hour (at 10pm! And I didn’t have to wait for the vacancy to close!) with a personalised response to my CV. Followed was a ~1 hour telephone conversation about my aspirations and I found that David listened and remembered key information very well.
Throughout the selection and onto the interview stages David provided support and guidance which gave me the confidence to successfully bag a job offer!
I cannot recommend a better recruiter!

I cannot thank David enough for supporting me through the recruitment process with Bryt - you have been so professional and caring, mentoring me through all the process. I have never seen someone so passionate in helping other people to achieve their aspirations! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A breath of fresh air!

After leaving a company I had been with for almost 20 years at the end of 2020, I went into the murky world of career development with a tainted view of recruitment consultants based on discussions with my colleagues.

That view was supported by many consultants I spoke to during my search - empty promises and very little to actually offer. David however totally bucked that trend. Not only did he ensure he recommended roles that would both suit and challenge me, he was so supportive during the application and interview process (which was successful by the way!), it genuinely felt like a friend was helping me along the way. We had many a discussion about non work related things, he’s just a genuinely nice guy.

I have already recommended Jammy Recruitment to friends and I will continue to do so. It’s so rare to find someone who genuinely wants the best for both the recruiter and the candidate - a true breath of fresh air.

Once again David, thank you so much!

David is very down to earth, he has the very rare quality of being able to listen and understand what is important to you as a candidate. Not all recruitment agents do this, in fact only a handful really get it.

He has personal values and ensures you don't lower your values when considering a role. At the end of the day it is about what is right for you.

I really appreciated the support he gave me, either good or bad news, David gives feedback and again this is a quality lost in these crazy times.

Thank you David :-)
