Good service from Client-Server

Simona was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the recruitment process. She provided regular updates and was always available to answer any queries. I would definitely use Client-Server again.

The best recruitment company I ever worked with

I would like to thank Client Server and especially the Stephen Walsh, thanks to whom I found a great job, but if it was just about finding a job, I would not bother writing here.
The company is trustworthy, looks for the best talents for the right companies, and the entire process and support during subsequent stages was extremely professional and helpful. I felt like there was someone I could rely on, and I'm grateful for that again!

Exceptional Professionalism and Transparency - A Review of Paul Naylor at Client Server

As a client who has had the pleasure of working with Paul Naylor at Client Server, I am compelled to share my exceptionally positive experience. From my very first interaction, Paul distinguished himself through his unwavering commitment and transparency.

Paul's expertise in the field is evident, but what truly sets him apart is his remarkable dedication to client satisfaction. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that all my questions were answered , often anticipating my requirements even before I articulated them. His approach is both professional and personalized, making me feel valued and understood.

Fantastic comms, super straightforward process

I recently found a great new position through Client Server. The whole process was really painless and straightforward, and I felt really supported all the way through.

The communication was top notch. I’ve spoken with Libby all the way through the process (with a 3 month notice period leading up to starting) including checking in on my first day, during my first week, and at the end of my first couple of weeks.

Easy to Work with and Clear Communication

Worked with Mike Bailey to get a job, when immigrating back to the UK from France. What was guna be a very painful project, turned into a easy 4 week turn around. Clear communication all the way, knew exactly what was going on and got a good deal. Would use again.

Recruiter Experience

I applied online for a position, a couple of hours later a recruiter called. Her name was Libby. We discussed my application and although I was not qualified for that particular job she went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and quickly after she called me that she has found a job that suits my needs. Currently I am no further in the process, but from the current experience I can say that this is one of the friendliest and most punctual recruiters I've had contact with.

Switched on & attentive

I signed up to client-server looking for a senior frontend role and as if by some fortunate coincidence the two roles I had applied for were filled but they had a third which I might be interested in. Ended up getting that job and very happy with the outcome, as I think the company are too.
Stephen was great, kept me in the loop at all times and was generally there for any questions or concerns even over the Xmas period which is when my hiring process was being carried out. I would definitely check in with them again in the future.

Amazing career support

I had a great interaction with Stephen. He pitched great opportunities to me, understanding the direction of my career and how to support it. He offered lots of useful tips for interview preparation and insides about the company.

Excellent service

I had a smooth and straightforward experience being placed in a software engineering role with Stephen Walsh. Crucially, phone calls were kept short and to the point. I can happily recommend working with Stephen to any prospective job-seeker.

Very helpful in my job search, enjoying my new role

The Client Server representatives I spoke to both gave me good feedback on my CV and were able to find me 2 competitive offers very quickly. I have been at my new job for almost a year and am very happy with what they found for me. A very big thanks to Harry Smith and Callum Powell!

Great Service

I found Client Server, particularly Chester, to be a great communicator, very friendly and always checking to make sure I'm happy with how things are going. He was also available for advice in general. Although the job ended up going to another candidate, Chester was always helpful and quick with feedback from the company. I would recommend Client Server and I'm already speaking to Josh regarding another role.

Client Server - Service Review

I recently had the pleasure of working with Client Server in my job search, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. From the initial consultation to securing my new role, the entire experience was seamless and highly professional.

Client Server's team demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise in the tech recruitment industry. They took the time to understand my skills, career goals, and preferences, ensuring that the opportunities presented to me were not only relevant but also aligned with my aspirations. Their personalized approach set them apart from other recruitment agencies I've worked with in the past.

What impressed me the most was their commitment to communication and transparency throughout the process. I was kept informed at every stage, from the submission of my application to the final interview and offer negotiation. The team at Client Server made sure I was well-prepared for each step, providing valuable insights and feedback that ultimately contributed to my success in securing the position.

Moreover, Client Server's dedication to fostering a positive candidate experience was evident in the way they actively supported me during the interview process. They were quick to address any concerns or queries I had, creating a supportive and stress-free environment that allowed me to perform at my best.

In addition to their professional competence, the team at Client Server demonstrated a genuine commitment to building long-term relationships. They didn't just stop at securing a job for me; they followed up after I started my new role to ensure a smooth transition and continued success.

I wholeheartedly recommend Client Server to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable recruitment partner. Their attention to detail, effective communication, and commitment to their clients make them stand out in the competitive world of job placement. Thanks to Client Server, I am now in a position that perfectly aligns with my career goals, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Very professional agency

I had a very good experience with Client Server. Mike Gilmore was my agent and he is such a lovely person to interact with.He was quite professional in his approach.He understood what I am looking for and got me job vacancy that exactly matched my requirements. Throughout the entire process of interviews he was very helpful and supportive. He did frequent follow ups to know if I'm OK with the role after each interview round.Even after I got the job offer , he made sure that the recruitment process is quite smooth for me . Also , he liased about certain points with the company on my behalf which was quite helpful for me. I am happy with my current job role and really grateful to him for his support. Overall, I had wonderful experience and all thanks to Mike and his team for that.

Excellent experience 10/10

I had an exceptional experience working with Callum Powell from Client Server.
Callum expertly guided me through a lengthy process of interviews, always kept me updated, and never missed a follow up call. The role Callum helped me acquire was a big step for my career in which I could not have achieved without his help along the way. I cannot recommend Client Server enough to anyone about to embark on the recruitment process.

Great experience!

Was contact by Storm from Client Server over linkedin. Was extremely professional and helpful and play a massive role in me getting the job offer, she reached out for a role that was a perfect fit for me and one i wouldn't have found without her help.

She was very responsive and always ready to answer questions and queries etc and made the recruitment process extremely simple for me. Couldn't recommend them more!

Didn't take Recruitment 101

Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn with a reasonably senior role I was somewhat interested in.

They called to discuss the role, but "wanted to get some details on file so they could see what else was a match for me" - I said I just wanted to hear about the role.

Next question, "why are you looking to leave X?" - I'm not, you approached me.

They wouldn't tell me anything about the role before I'd told them half a dozen things - when they asked for my salary I cut the call short.

Honestly felt like working with a recruiter 20 years ago when they were the gatekeeper.

Not sure if the role was real, or, as others said, it's just some weird data harvesting play.

I leave this review to try and dissuade companies from using Client Server Tech; they're not the recruiter you are looking for.

Edit: interesting to note the influx of 5* reviews across the last three days. Nothing suspicious about that... Don't even have the sense to spread them out organically!

BEWARE SCAM AHEAD!

I had been on the Client Server file system for quite some time as during the pandemic I had applied for one of their jobs. Little did I realise that they are the most unprofessional agency I have EVER heard of! Reasons:
1. Getting so many cold calls, I want to throw my phone away out the window.
2. Receiving so many of the same emails on repeat, yet my replies 'so happen' to go into the SPAM folder...
3. Once they do get you on the call, the line their end is bad or so they say, that they hang up!
4. Sounds to me like they are fishing for personal information without actually having ANY real jobs advertised.
