Written by the company

We’re a group of people coming from varying backgrounds and careers including hospitality, leisure and sales. There is a common thread that runs through us all – we’re all ‘people’ people and we love what we do! You might be wondering why this is important, and perhaps we should be a little more professional as individuals working in recruitment. We don’t want to hide behind a mask of professionalism – we aren’t robots, we are human beings, and it’s that raw human element that means we are great at what we do. We don’t force people into roles or companies that aren’t suitable – we match people and businesses with the same values and meet each other’s requirements and expectations. And we do it really well!

Highly recommend

The Sterling Choice found me employment within a week of being made redundant.
I was contacted by Hannah who I am very grateful to she gave me lots of advice in how to prepare and conduct myself in an interview.
Unfortunately I had a sudden bereavement in my family Hannah went above and beyond in helping me deal with the stress by contacting my new employer and deferred my start date.
This amongst other things is why I 100% recommend The Sterling Choice

I have used multiple recruiters in the past and I can honestly say I am thoroughly impressed on the service I have been provided. Adam has gone above and beyond in matching me with an opportunity, assisting me in every step, including with a few issues with my current employer. I have really gotten the impression that I was a priority instead of merely just trying to fill one particular role. I will be using the Stirling choice in future and would recommend them to others.

Professional and helpful recruiter.

Jordan from The Stirling Choice was an excellent recruiter. After an initial telephone conversation where he talked me through the job description, he kept in regular contact and kept me appraised of every development in my progress. After receiving an offer and accepting he still kept in contact ensuring I had all the details and contacts for my first day. Even ringing me to wish me luck on my first day. A really smooth experience. I'd recommend Jordan and The Stirling choice.

Sterling Choice Recruitment highly recommended

The process with Sterling Choice Recruitment was smooth and clear, the recruiters were all first class, professional and receptive to your questions. Special mention to Gianni who was an asset to the company throughout my application, when Gianni was away for a couple of days, Dan seamlessly picked up the reins and kept me informed of all developments.

Fantastic experience with The Sterling Group. Right from the initial contact through to the interview process and onto the employment offer, my key contact was excellent and kept me up to date each step of the way. Even now, over a month after starting my new job, my key contact, James, often checks in and seems genuinely interested in how I’m settling into my new role! The entire process was hassle free, professional and enjoyable!

During the in the interview process , he checked in with me and offered me brilliant support.

Sterling choice are brilliant

I have worked Sterling choice for many years now and they always go above and beyond for me. I started with Gareth Whyatt (one of the founders of Sterling choice) before they existed who was an amazing consultant, and has turned in to a professional contact as well as a good friend, It’s never been about getting a contract and off you go, they support me and find suitable roles for both parties. They are always in touch supporting during and after applications. I have been working closely with Daniel Szymanski quite closely the last few years and he has been brilliant as well, obviously followed on from Gareth’s way of working and can’t recommend them enough. Thank you.

Hope you’re happy now Gareth 😜

James from Sterling Choice was excellent at keeping me in the loop about how the job application was going and could answer all of my questions straight away about the role. The company also did not push jobs that were not really relevant to me or not in the area I wanted like some others do.

Fantastic Service.

Gianni Forcellati is the best recruitment consultant I have dealt with.
He placed me in the job I am now. His communication during the entire process was fantastic.

I will strongly recommend him and Sterling Choice to anyone who want to be taken seriously when looking for a new job or need change.

I dealt with Annaliese and must say she was very professional but also friendly and couldn’t do enough to keep me informed of everything I needed to know.
She went out of her way even on days off to answer any questions I asked.
I would definitely recommend sterling choice as they seem very knowledgeable and also very down to earth on what is required.

Hannah distinguishes herself from…

Hannah distinguishes herself from others in similar positions by being genuinely passionate, caring, yet so professional.

This is the most efficient recruitment company I have ever dealt with. I was contacted by a person named Hannah who contacted me regarding a role so promptly after I had applied. As a soon to be graduate I would not have found the current position if it was not for her, I am excited for my new career journey!

Throughout the whole process Hannah has been phenomenal. She has provided me with ongoing support and always ensures there is contact between us. I am so thankful and highly recommend their services!
