I had a great experience with Billy O’Brien and the R&Partner team throughout my job search process. From the initial application screening call to the final stages of securing the role, Billy provided consistent guidance and practical insights at every step. He showed clarity, responsiveness, and readiness to answer all my questions without hesitation. The assistance provided for interview preparation was notably beneficial—targeted and tailored to the essential aspects.

Overall, I would highly recommend working with this recruiter and would be happy to collaborate again in the future.

R&D Partners provided highly professional support throughout the entire recruiting process.

I had a great experience working with R&D Partners over the past year. The level of professionalism, support, and consistent communication was excellent throughout.

In particular, I would like to highlight the incredible support from Seb Rose. He went above and beyond in following my case, remaining proactive, responsive, and thoughtful at every stage. He was always willing to explore solutions and offer clear advice and steady encouragement.

I genuinely felt part of a team throughout the process and am very grateful for Seb's commitment, transparency, and dedication. I would highly recommend R&D Partners to anyone seeking a professional and supportive recruitment partner.

I had the pleasure of working with Seb from R&D Partners during my recent placement, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me secure the right opportunity.

Seb provided consistent encouragement throughout the process and was an excellent steward and advocate on my behalf. He communicated clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and offered thoughtful guidance that boosted my confidence.

I’m very grateful for his support and would gladly work with him again in the future.

My experience working with R&D, especially with Terra was outstanding. She was transparent, supportive, and highly professional throughout the entire recruitment process. She provided clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and valuable preparation for each stage, while maintaining a genuine and human approach. I felt fully supported from start to finish, and I truly appreciate her dedication and commitment to finding the right fit.

The experience I had was favourable, I was ably guided through the recruitment process by a gentleman called Bill.
Bill had reached out to me on my initial application to convey the particulars of the job role, the company it was with, and its overall culture as a manufacturing concern. Bill made job specifications and interview preparation material available to me so that I could relate my prior work experience to potential future employment. Bill made time available in his schedule to help with the interview preparation during a telephone call by posing interlocutary questions common to an interview. I got the impression his working relationship with the client was of a very high caliber. For this role the recruitment process was by necessity quite protracted. I was therefore very grateful that Bill kept me fully informed with regards to its progression on a regular basis. I was appreciative also that I could call his office in real-time and touch base regarding pre-employment.

I would like to sincerely recommend Terrah. She was incredibly helpful and supportive at every stage of the recruitment process. Thank you for all your assistance — I truly appreciate it and highly recommend R&D partner's services.

I began job hunting in February 2025 and I found the process incredibly tough, when compared to a few years ago, even for someone who had accumulated more experience. Far fewer positions were advertised this year but your colleagues, Seb and Ed, were able to match my skills to the relevant opportunities, presented the best features of my professional experience to potential employers and secured interviews.

The professional help I received from Seb and Ed was first class. They helped me research and prepare for every interview, came up with strategies for dealing with scenarios, sought feedback from interview panels, and above all, offered encouragement when the end result was disappointing (and frustratingly, we found out later that I came close to getting an offer). One cannot expect to be successful in every interview, but your colleagues turned each disappointment into a development opportunity so that I was better prepared for the next one.

I have had a few ups and downs in my career and the help I received, at both professional and personal level, from Seb and Ed was second to none. They went above and beyond what I expected and I am very grateful for this.

It was a pleasure working with Antonia. Would definitely recommend and use Hobson prior again in the future if needed!

Will and Hobson Prior helped pair me with a fantastic career opportunity! He and the team ensure the entire process was well communicated and I felt prepared from start to finish. Absolutely a gem within the life sciences profession. Thank you!

I worked with Hobson Prior to find a role after moving back to Ireland after some time abroad. Throughout the process I worked with Antonia who was fantastic to work with. She was friendly, supportive, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. She always kept me informed without needing to chase, and she took the time to understand my situation. She made the process so much easier and less stressful. I really appreciated her guidance and would highly recommend her.

Hopson Prior supported me in a professional and timely manner. Their team members worked efficiently, communicated clearly and guided me through each step of the process, making the entire experience smooth and well-organized.

Excellent experience from start to finish. Clear communication, quick turnaround to my queries, and genuine support throughout my placement process. Highly recommend.

Really helpful and professional.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Antonia. She is a person of extraordinary professional rectitude and shows a lot of empathy and most importantly, she saw me in ways that ripped off any shreds of impostor syndrome I had moving forward with the job application and interview. What’s most commendable was her clear communication of expectations and honesty around the role, work model and sponsor. Can’t believe I’ve secured my next career breakthrough and it’s such a blessing and I thank God for using her as my career angel. Thank you so much Antonio. Hubson’s Prior has got a huge asset in you!

During my career I have dealt with several recruitment companies. Some good ones, a good few not so good ones. For that reason I was a bit sceptical when I was contacted by Indre from Hobson Prior. Once I started speaking to her I could sense how professional she was and understanding of my own expectations. The recruitment process was long as it should be. She always made sure all involved were always connected. She showed excellent professionalism, negotiation skills, fairness and care. Eventually I got hired and I am delighted that with Indres support I made the right decision.

I had a fantastic experience with Hobson Prior while searching for my next role. The team was incredibly professional, supportive, and genuinely cared about finding the right fit for me.

A huge thank you to Billy, who went above and beyond throughout the entire process — from interview preparation to follow-up calls and guidance at every stage. His communication was clear and encouraging, and I always felt well-informed and supported.

Thanks to Hobson Prior and Billy, I’ve now secured a great new job that perfectly matches my skills and career goals. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly recruitment agency!

Excellent Recruiters!

I've had the pleasure of connecting with one of Hobson Prior's recruiters at the beginning of August, and within a month he helped me secure a great opportunity to work with my dream company!
All throughout the process, I've received nothing but respect, clear communication, and targeted support to facilitate each interview step along the way. I'm beyond grateful to Hobson Prior, they certainly set a high standard of what real, tailored recruitment should look like for job seekers across board.

I had an exceptional experience working with the Hobson Prior team (Edward and Antony). From day one, Edward in particular was incredibly reliable, proactive, kind and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. They were always available - whether over the phone or via email - to answer my many questions and provide guidance. Their communication with the employer was seamless, and I always felt well-informed and confident at every stage. Overall, their dedication and professionalism made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I can’t recommend them highly enough for their outstanding service and commitment to their candidates.
