It was great working with Search Consultancy each and every staff were really helpful with all queries especially Greg Martin.
Dale Moffat made it easy for me and was working hard to get me into a post. Highly recommended.

Thieves
Send you to work, deny the hours they sent you for, then ignore you when you ask them to rectify. I believe you are thieves.

I have been appalled at the quality of the opportunities that I was presented. I was bouced to and from different jobs because of unknown reasons. There is no security in your job using these services, and I would recommend you never use this company. Search has been a monumental failure, and good luck to anyone who wishes to use their services.

I have recently received a job offer through a straight-forward and fast procedure with the assistance of the Senior consultant Maria. She has been clear in communication, supportive, informative and very encouraging all of which are so important for someone in process of seeking a suitable role. Thank you Maria! As I mentioned during our last call, I wanted to give my sincere thanks even if I had not got the offer because your dedication truly deserves it.
I am also thankful to Kirsty who kindly reached out for an initial response in regards to my applications.
Best wishes for the Search Consultancy Team in Edinburgh!
