Excellent service, highly recommend

I unfortunately lost my long-term position during the pandemic, I signed up to a lot of agencies but none of these even came close to the service I received at Express Recruitment. I was assigned to Charley Tazey who did everything she could to help me back into work. Charley went above and beyond the expected level of customer service required. After 2 weeks of being out of work Charley managed to find me a temporary 1-month contract and before I had even finished that contract, she managed to find me a temporary (long-term) contract working with the local Council. Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for this amazing woman, it has been an absolute pleasure working with Charley, she listened to my every need and genuinely cared about what I wanted and where I wanted to be. A service like no other!! Thank you :D

Excellent Experience

I highly recommend Express Recruitment to anyone looking for a new role. The service received from Ben has been excellent. He has been very professional, supportive and very helpful with the whole process from start to finish, securing a permanent job for me all within one week. The constant follow up calls before and after the interview. Thank you Ben and Express Recruitment for the great service.

Excellent experience with Express Recruitment

Where can I start? My experience with Express Recruitment was just amazing from the first call till when my job got secured Ben Smith was with me. Thanks very much Ben for everything. Express Recruitment you better keep this man with you because he’s good at what he does: professional, makes you feel relax and confident, he’s boosting you to make you know you can do the job, always following up before your interview to tell you not to stress, he’s there all the way with you. Continue like that like that Ben you are great.
Thanks again Express Recruitment your receptionist is wonderful and thanks very much again Ben. I really recommend this agency.

Would recommend

I have used this agency periodically for the last 3 years and have always had a good experience. Once registered I've never been out of work for long and they really do try and match you with work that's suitable to your skills and preferences. I would highly recommend.

A refreshingly smooth and professional…

A refreshingly smooth and professional journey right from the start having had mostly poor to mediocre experiences with agencies in the past. After completing registration, I had a discussion with Ben who went through my CV and he understood what I was looking for and recommended me for a position which matched my skills and knowledge. Following the subsequent interview, I was offered and accepted the position within 24hrs. The whole process took 3 days. I can see where the relevancy of the "Express" . Good news and great service for all parties involved.

Temp Role November 2019

Signed on with Express in November 2019, worked with Vicky and she was brilliant at sourcing appropriate roles. Listened to what I needed and provided options that were appropriate. I also had a small issue, that Vicky was great at sorting. Would highly recommend this agency and would use them again in the future.

Completely useless

Completely useless. Went in with experience, CV, filled out all the forms and sat down to go through my work history. Was there over an hour. Heard nothing from them again!

Lesley and her team go above and beyond to find the right people for the right roles. They work very hard to get the right jobs for their candidates and I’m personally delighted that they succeed in finding people better jobs. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
