I had a very good experience with Search Consultancy. I worked for them almost for a year and never had any problems. Payments always on time. Payslips easily accessible and the platform easy to use.
Barry is a very approachable and understanding person. It was a pleasure to work for him. I went through Covid and a few other health problems during my time with the agency and received all the support I needed. I highly recommend Barry and Search Agency in Crawley.
Kate Norman was my recruiter.
The communication with my recruiter was honestly great. Kate was in constant contact with me throughout every step of the way. Whether it be via email or telephone. She went above and beyond in helping me procure the job especially with helping me with the interview and even afterwards where she checked in to see how my first few days were going. The services exceeded my expectations and I will most definitely recommend Kate. I am overjoyed and I would be honoured to work with Kate in the future.
Good connection between, very supportive and helpful

Disgusting agency, had 1 week holiday and didn't get paid it until 2 weeks after and now I left 3 months ago and I'm still waiting on my P45 and 4 days holiday they owe me
First time I have been through an agency for a job,and Search have been very helpful and Beth Beaumont was very professional and informative on my induction at my new place of work
I have been working with Search Consultancy in two different times along my professional career in UK, and I can say without a doubt that it has been my best experience with recruitment agencies I have ever worked by far.
James Macbeth is very helpful, supportive, efficient...as I said it was a pleasure work for them.
Richard is always happy to help if you have a problem.
I am dealing with Richard lister he has been a godsend helped me in every possible way always respectful
My recruiter was Kate Norman from the Manchester branch. It's impossible to overstate the quality of support I received from her during my time with Search! She is absolutely fantastic!
Kate secured my initial interview and stayed with me throughout, she could not have done more to assist during my journey from temp to my eventual permanent position. She was there whenever I needed her and checked-in with me regularly over a period of four months to ensure that everything was going well for me. All communication with Kate was easy and reassuring.
I would recommend Kate and Search to all looking for unwavering support during what can often be a highly stressful experience. I was genuinely upset to be leaving her!
Raya Verdi was fantastic from start to finish during my job search. She was the only one that believed in me, in my career change, when other recruiters were just ignoring my resume and were going for the easy choice. Her enthusiasm and encouragement were incredibly helpful and she was always on hand for updates and tips. She knew exactly what I was looking for in my job search and that is showing from the positive results I got from my first ever interview in the industry I was interested in. She made the process so much easier and I couldn't recommend her enough.
Thanks Raya!!
I have worked with search for a number of years , and have found them by far second to none the best recruitment agency I have been with . The client advisors go above and beyond to suit your individual needs on a professional and personal basis , I would highly recommend search for anyone actively seeking employment or a new vocation.
Megan Dover has been outstanding all throughout my temp journey - a true credit to the company and I would recommend Search to anyone!
Kirsty was great from start to finish, highly recommend!
Kirsty helped me through the process all the way and I couldn't fault her if I tried. A+ all the way for the quality and availability of service. Thank you again!
Finding a new job has got to be one of the most stressful situations to be in. Thomas Boone took all that stress away instantly from the first conversation with him. I can't say enough great things about him! From the beginning of the process, to his knowledge of the company I was applying to and his help with the interview process and to when I got the job. He was there every step of the way with me. Totally dedicated and professional and a top man!!! Thank you so much Tom. Your a credit to your company and I wish you all the very best!!!!
I was given great support for my application. Jody kept me informed and rang me regularly to check on my progress and follow up at key stages. It felt like I had someone looking out for me during the process. I was successful in getting the position I had wanted in a couple of weeks.
Barry was so supportive during time when I worked with agency before receiving a contract. Its not the first time I was working with Search and I cannot say one bad thing about it. They really put their believe in people and especially Barry did it. Excelled experience.
