Toby has been a real pleasure to work with. He’s kept me up to date regularly and I really appreciated the personal touch of coming to meet me prior to interview. I highly recommend Burman and Toby in particular, first class service.

Abi from Burman Recruitment provided me with guidance throughout the entire recruitment process offering personalised interview tips, advice, and feedback. Abi’s support was exceptional from start to finish, and even after I got the job, she continued to help me prepare for my new role. Her commitment to success is truly five-star. I highly recommend Abi and Burman Recruitment to anyone seeking dedicated and effective recruitment assistance.

Alayna at Burr Recruitment has consistently gone above and beyond with her professionalism and communication. My experience has been 10/10.

I have been working in Procurement for a couple of decades. In that time I have come across several agency handlers; ranging from the atrociously inept to those who are consummate operators - Grace Constantinou without a doubt sits rather comfortably in the latter category. From inception she demonstrated a keen understanding of my experience and my desire to go back to permanent roles after several interim positions. The fact that I have today, been selected for a permanent Procurement position within a prestigious university is testament to her selection and matching skills.
She is total.

Harry was approachable, responsive and knowledgeable about the candidates suitable for the work we needed. We looked a few possible candidates and have recruited a good analyst to support some short term work.

Burman were great in placing me -they found the right opportunity and were very supportive and communicactive through the interview process. The support now I'm on board has been really good too - admin has been very easy. Highlu recommended.

Burman Recruitment are exactly what all agencies should be. I have had three HE roles through them. They are active in the HE sector and keep me informed of opportunities.
Great communicators with prompt payments, Brad, Harry and the team are easily a 5 star rating.

Ellie Bowdidge at Burman Recruitment has obtained three back to back SITS analyst contracts for me whereas the other agencies I have used have been a bit slower off the mark.
Ellie always checks in on me and appears acutely aware of my contract end dates and when I will need work.
She offers me work which suits my profile and does not pressure me to take unsuitable employment.
She also has a very friendly disposition.

Stephen Lavery

This was my first experience with Burman Recruitment and Abi made it a pleasant one. She was super helpful from beginning to end, helping me move interviews as needed to fit around my schedule, and always letting me know what to expect in the following phase.

Abi from Burman Recruitment found me through LinkedIn and supported me through a job opportunity they found. The role was a good fit and played to the strengths on my CV. After a few short weeks in the recruitment process I was offered the role and was able to negotiate on my salary. Overall positive experience.

I initially applied for a role in HE with Burman via LinkedIn. When I’ve applied for other jobs through LinkedIn, my experience has been that it’s rare to receive a response at all, but Abi called me back within 10 minutes of me having submitted my application. Although the role I had applied for had already gone, she was very helpful and took the time to understand what type of role I was looking for so that she could find me something similar.
About a week later, Abi came back to me with some more available roles, one of which was exactly what I had been looking for. I was impressed at how quickly Abi had managed to find the perfect role for me. Throughout the recruitment process, she was very supportive and kept me updated regularly; she was always available to answer any questions or take my calls.
I was highly impressed at the speed with which Abi managed to arrange a start date for me and I would definitely work with Burman again because of the fantastic service that she provided.

I felt highly supported and represented by Burman recruitment who helped me to source interim contract work in my sector.

I was contacted by Harry Salter regarding a new role. He discussed and understood my needs and my current situation. Then he provided me with all the necessary information about the role, explained it in details and later on kept me informed throughout the entire process. He was very professional and was able to move the process very quickly. No questions left unanswered.
Happy to say, I've got the contract as well.
