Claimed to be retained when they were not and I missed the chance to apply

I was contacted by Connor McLardy about a role I intended to apply for. He represented himself as being retained for the role and so I decided to go through the process with him rather than apply direct. Following the closing date for public applications Connor advised me that he was not formally retained and the employer did not need any further CV’s. The employer will also now not accept my late application. Because of Connor’s unethical behavior I have been unable to apply for a job. I have not this review anonymously as I’m obviously still with my current employer and don’t want them to know I’ve been looking.

Peace Recruitment

I became freelance in 2017 and have formed a great relationship with Craig at Peace. He's provided me with a steady flow of short to medium term contracts and he regularly contacts me to ensure that I'm enjoying each role. His knowledge of RSL's is excellent and he knows what will be a good 'fit' for me and for his client.

Great company to work with

One of the best agencies I've contracted for. They go the extra mile to ensure they find you a suitable position. Never had to wait long for work when I say I'm available. Pay is consistently on time and payslips are always a day before. I work with Craig Wishart, who is approachable, professional and supportive. I would highly recommend getting your CV into peace Recruitment. You won't regret it.

Personal job requirements

Have used Craig Wishart & Peace for a few years now since I am freelance. Peace are always able to find an appointment which best suits my skillset and personal requirements. Have worked all over Scotland for a variety of Housing Associations in a diverse range of jobs thanks to Craig. Would wholeheartedly recommend Peace for your appointments.

Great Agency Support

Great Agency Support and Craig Wishart at the company was excellent, and showed good knowledge of sector opportunities and depth of contacts to ensure appointments. Communication and handling placed positions was first class.
From 2017 till middle of 2020 I worked for myself doing contract and consultancy work in the Built Environment - Housing sector through Peace and undertook 4 separate appointments (x2 with the same organisation).
CW at Peace listned to what experience and roles I wanted to obtain and found suitable appointments that met the needs of me, the organisation and PEACE.
Ultimately theses positions and experienced gained gave me a more rounded skill set that I have now taken to my current FTE position within Local Government.

Very professional and easy to deal with.

I got in contact with Craig Freschini @ Peace. He travelled to meet me the next day taking on board exactly what I was looking for and lined up a number of interviews and lined me up with my current role. Very professional and easy to deal with.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

I couldn't rate Sarah Hobson at Peace recruitment highly enough. Right from the beginning of my search, Sarah has been mindful of my situation, which involved moving city back to my hometown and finding the right type of company for my personality and professional goals. Not to mention the turnaround was notably quick, in two weeks I managed to find a new role which exceeded my expectations.

Within the first point of contact with Sarah, we had a friendly chat over the phone and she asked for me to send her over updated CV/portfolio etc. Once I got my end of the bargain sorted, within a few days she came back to me with a range of about 10 different companies which she thought were suitable. After pressing 'go' and submitting my applications, one cropped out which was something different but surpassed all other criteria I initially set out with Sarah, including the salary expectation! I'm just about to start a new job with a company which aligns with what I stand for, in a slightly more niche area of my profession and I'm absolutely thrilled about it. Not to mention the positive change in lifestyle I'm about to have living back home after being 50+ miles away, for years.

She's incredibly well connected with industry professionals and it's clear why. She is such an approachable and friendly individual who made a huge effort with checking in on me weekly to see how I was doing, informing me of opportunities and updates on the companies she selected. Not only was she an exceptional agent, she was also incredibly supportive during quite a turbulent time in my life and kept the morale up whenever I was feeling stressed about my circumstances!

Thank you much Sarah, I'm so grateful for all your efforts and so excited for the future. I certainly owe you one!
