Having worked for Search (Crawley) a few times over many years, I can highly recommend them as an employer. Barry always has time for you and is willing to find you a job you will enjoy. Always available and flexible to your needs, professional, courteous and all round top bloke.

Lack of communication, messages ignored and no respect for potential new candidates. Tom Boone originally spoke to me, then heard nothing. Had a message from Dionne Jackson on Linked In. Spoke with Dionne on the telephone, nice enough but then completely ignored my messages to her on Linked In asking where the profile for the job advertised was up to. Really poor communication!

I had an awesome time working with Search Recruitment. They really helped me a lot especially Barry Chapman, from the start to the finish. They have a really good team. They made everything easy and gave me support that was just for me.
They did a really good job with their process. They took time to learn about what I want to do in my career and what I am good at. Because of that, they found a job that was just right for me. It’s not just any job; it’s a job that fits with what I want to do in the long run.
They always talked to me in a way I could understand, and they told me what I needed to know at the right times. I always knew what was going on.
Now, I have a job that I really like, and I can grow in it. I'm so thankful for Search Recruitment. I would tell anyone to go to them if they want a big change in their career.

I would like to share my honest opinion regarding the assignment for jobs via Search Consultancy. I was dealing with a lovely lady, called Kirsty, who is not only very professional but at the same time very kind, friendly and extremely helpful. She managed to assign me to a job ASAP when I was struggling to get one due to unexpected circumstances. Then it was never a hustle to get hold with her - always very efficient and switch on. Nothing was too much for her. She was checking up on me even when I finished my first assignment with a company. I could feel her passion for work, true commitment and determination to find me a permanent role instead of a temporary one. I felt valued and special whilst talking to Kirsty. She is definitely the best person to deal with if you are struggling with your job search. Thank you once again for always being there for me.

I was struggling to find a job or a recruiter worth my time for a couple of months. I have come across many different recruitment agencies who would request a lot of my personal data and references, only to be abandoned by them after. Giovanna was a breath of fresh air, as she truly provided an exceptional level of help with my application. She checked in on me regularly and ensured I was immaculately prepared for my interview process. I recommend Giovanna not only for her professional recruitment skills and knowledge of the industry, but also for her brilliant inter personal skills. She was a pleasure to communicate with at all times and really provided a tailored and personal assistance throughout my placement journey. Thanks to Giovanna’s dedication I have secured a job at a prestigious international organisation. I highly recommend that you reach out to her if you are searching for a new career within the corporate sector. Thank you.
