Great service from start to finish

I first made contact with my consultant Brad via LinkedIn. The company is based in Preston and I am in London, so initially I had some reservations as to the number of contacts they may have with London public sector organisations, but no problems whatsoever. They have lots of experience! From the moment we started speaking, Brad made me feel at ease. He really listened to what I wanted in a role and provided me with realistic expectations, not giving me the "sales patter". He was proactively running several roles past me, obtaining feedback from a couple of interviews and used the information to source out the right type of role. I felt that Brad really wanted to secure a role for me, which he finally did. Within an hour of securing my role, I received a telephone call from their contact at Paystream. I was really happy with the service at Spencer Clark and my consultant, Brad and would recommend them.

My recruitment Consultant Robbie was truly invested in me from the start .
He was driven tenacious and truly listened to what I wanted and needed in my next job role.
He secured me a great role which I'm.truly grateful for and I would
definitely recommend this agency as a job seeker.

No help at all

Richard secured me my first role which I will be forever grateful for however was completely AWOL as my contract ended. No support to find a new role, no replies to calls, emails etc. I managed to find a new role with another agency Richard’s response? To completely ignore all future contact from me. I have tried other agents such as Adam, promises of phone calls never happen, requests to be submitted for roles, no response.
Absolutely spat their dummy out I secured a role with another agency because I had to!

Hi, I can assure you that we didn't spit our dummy out because you secured a role with another agency. We work with hundreds of interim workers and we understand that this is the nature of interim work. We apologise that you felt like our service fell short this time and we would like to speak to you directly to rectify the situation.
Please could you contact us on 01772 954200 and ask for Thomas Humphreys. Many thanks.

SPG review.

Having been originally sceptical about joining an agency, my first call with Mia, allayed any fears.

Throughout the process from applying for a role to starting a role (which I did today). I have found SPG (Mia & Nicole) to be very thorough, professional & excellent communicators

There has been fantastic communication via the telephone & email from Mia & also Nicole, who has been able to answer all the questions I have asked, and walked me through the process of what was required etc etc.

Great Agency

Great Agency, I had very specific needs with hours/distance to work and Kaitlan went above and beyond to find me work!

Even with my very specific needs. Whenever I had any questions, Kaitlan was only a message away, with quick response.

Makes a huge difference when people at companies like this actually care!

Thanks again, will be in touch if I’m in need of work in the future.

I have had nothing but a positive experience with Spencer Clarke Group. From my initial enquiry they have been incredible, especially Liam Jones who is always a pleasure and is always on hand with any advice or just to listen to me. I was very quickly found a school to work in and the process from the beginning to now has been wonderful. I could not recommend Spencer Clarke Group enough, and thank Liam for everything he has done and continues to do for me.

Outstanding Support Throughout the Recruitment Process

I had a great experience working with Shannon McGarry. She was incredibly supportive from start to finish — from the recruitment stages through the onboarding process. She kept me updated, made sure I was comfortable with the offer, and was always available whenever I needed assistance. Shannon’s dedication and professionalism truly stand out, and Spencer-Clark Group is very fortunate to have her on their team.

Always on hand to answer any questions

I found the agency very supportive, and quick to answer any questions and queries. Also I've found it more personalised, with only one person as a main contact from the beginning.

5 star service

I was contacted by Josh who almost immediately got me an interview… then negotiated to raise the pay rate for me…within 2 weeks of first contact I had signed a contract. I’ve never worked with a recruitment agency before but they have far surpassed my expectations!! Shannon Hughes and Josh Draycott were friendly, respectful and professional. Shannon pushed through my compliance process in a few days. I’m very pleased with the service received and I’m recommending them to friends as a brilliant agency. I can see why they’ve won awards!
