Great experience with Archer

Tara van Vuuren contacted me on LinkedIn regarding a Technology Operations Manager position, and I couldn't be more impressed with her guidance throughout the process. From our first interaction, Tara was incredibly attentive and professional. She took the time to understand my experience and career goals, providing insightful advice and timely updates at every step. Her clear and prompt communication made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Tara's dedication and expertise truly set her apart, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and supportive recruitment professional. 5/5 stars!

Archer Recruitment - Sophie Ball

Sophie from Archer Recruitment contacted me on Linkedin to inquire if I was interested in a Life400 role that had become available, I was interested and so we started the process of applying for the role.
From the start Sophie was brilliant to deal with, we spoke at length about the role and why it appealed to me, Sophie took the time to get to know and understand my reasons for applying.
When I entered the interview process Sophie helped with great tips on how to prepare and what to expect and she kept me informed with the company's feedback after each stage.
Sophie contacted me regularly to keep me informed of my application process and the company benefits on offer.
When I was successful Sophie continued to keep in contact with what will happen around contract and start dates etc.
Throughout the process Sophie has been very pleasant and very professional to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a role that Archer Recruitment are advertising.

Positive experience with Archer Recruitment!!!

I had a really positive experience with Archer Recruitment. After working for 9 years for the same company as a Senior Developer I was looking for new challenges. I had several calls with the recruiter specialists at Archer to find the job offer that would best suit my profile. After 2 weeks of interviews I accepted a job offer from one of Archer's clients.
A special thanks to Dario and Síofra for following my application through each step of the process.

Multiple Engineering Roles Filled

Archer, particularly Sophie, Siofra, and Kieran, have been crucial in the recruitment efforts our company has made for 2024. Through their hard work and diligence we have managed to fill 3 distinct engineering roles with candidates that have great experience and enthusiasm for their respective roles.

Archer were critical in helping us refine our thinking, requirements, and hiring pipeline in order to maximise our ability to attract the right candidates. Sophie, Siofra, and Kieran dedicated time to continuously seek feedback from us in order to better understand our requirements (even as those requirements evolved) and match us with the right candidates.

On our side, we can't imagine a more seamless or robust recruitment experience.

My experience with Archer Recruitment

My experience with Archer Recruitment, particularly with Sophie, has been nothing short of exceptional. From the initial stages of the interview process to the final negotiations, Sophie's professionalism, support, and guidance were invaluable.

One of Sophie's standout qualities is her consistent communication. Throughout the entire interview process, she kept in touch regularly, ensuring I was updated on any progress or developments, even if it meant just checking in to see how I was doing. This level of attentiveness not only demonstrated her dedication but also helped alleviate any anxieties I may have had during the waiting periods.

Sophie's advice and insights were instrumental in preparing for each stage of the interview. Her guidance on what to expect and how to approach different aspects of the process were incredibly valuable and undoubtedly contributed to my confidence and performance.

Moreover, Sophie's ability to create a relaxed atmosphere prior to interviews and during waiting periods was commendable. Her reassuring demeanor helped alleviate the inherent stress associated with such processes, allowing me to present my best self and navigate the uncertainties with ease.

During salary negotiations, Sophie exhibited transparency and professionalism. She provided clear information on the ceiling rate and worked collaboratively with me to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement on the annual salary. Her honesty and willingness to work towards a fair outcome were greatly appreciated and further underscored her commitment to facilitating a positive experience for both parties.

In summary, Sophie's exceptional support and guidance throughout the entire recruitment process made my experience with Archer Recruitment truly memorable. Her professionalism, communication skills, and dedication to ensuring a successful outcome set a high standard for recruitment professionals. I am grateful for her assistance and would highly recommend Archer Recruitment, particularly Sophie, to anyone seeking career opportunities.

Senior Role Filled Successfully

We had a long-standing opening that Siofra and Sophie helped us to fill. They provided high quality candidates who were well-prepared. Onboarding senior roles isn't easy in the best of circumstances, so they also offered their guidance and partnership to evolve our processes, too. One more note: frankly, we had to reject a lot of great candidates because we wanted a lasting fit for the role. Our other agency partners were defensive or argumentative when we turned down a candidate, whereas at Archer, they sought to learn and listen to what we were thinking and it helped them curate more suitable candidates for the role. They have a good mindset and work really hard. Thank you!

Help with job hunting

I worked with Archer Recruitment while looking for a new job and applying to a particular position. Alissa (and Kevin in her absence) really helped me throughout the whole process by being very proactive, keeping an open line of communication and generally being available at any time. I ended up landing the job, so I cannot recommend Archer Recruitment enough.
