Very professional and experienced

Very professional and experienced. I was contact by Danny Mclaughlin for a contract position I could tell immediately that he knew what he was talking about both in terms of the job description and the industry. Definitely will be returning to Venturi if in need of future roles.

Attentive, professional and above all enthusiastic.

From start to finish Mark Tipping was attentive, professional and above all enthusiastic. As many developers can attest to, the process of canvassing, applying and interviewing for new roles is a demanding one. On this occasion, the load was certainly lightened by having a recruiter who went out of their way to keep me informed, exhibited genuine care, and was consistently approachable and flexible. Mark’s dedication and connections ultimately proved influential in shaping the next step in my career and I for one am grateful our paths crossed.

Professional, personable and extremely efficient.

My first time working with Mark Tipping and I honestly couldn't be happier with the process, he's been on top of things from day one. Prepped and with a good feel for his clients team culture and the kind of personalities that fit. He's provided in depth support and process along the journey without trying to "baby" me as we went and ultimately has secured me an ideal role in Software Development. Easy to recommend, one of the best recruitment experiences I've had to date.

One really good company!

I was really disappointed from the HR services in UK. Being a programmer for 20 years with tons of experience neither one company was able to sell me at any company.
When Holly Jones from Venturi contacted me at first, I was fully sceptic about what she`d do. And now, being already two months at a position, that I feel is almost my dream job makes me think for her and Venturi as a really good place where the one could start his job adventure!

Highly recommended! Especially Gabbie Nixon

An excellent recruitment agency. Highly recommend this agency especially Gabbie Nixon who has been assisting me in applying for a role.

She is very helpful, clearly understood my requirements and provided constant update on progress of my application.

Maisie Moss - Very professional and responsive during the whole recruitment process. I highly recommend working with Maise, she understands very well client requirements on technical and business level. She will accommodate both candidate and client needs to get a favourable outcome. All the best!

One of the only decent recruitment agencies out there

From my first meeting with Venturi, despite being in a non-recruitment context, I realised they were an agency who were actually willing to understand my situation and the value I brought to my field. One I was looking for a new role, Mark, the consultant with whom I worked closely, placed some outstanding roles in front of me; I ultimately found a great fit, which I accepted. I'd happily recommend Venture as my go-to recruitment experts.

Unprofessional Communications!

I was sent an email via my (current) works email address - which is not shared on LinkedIn. This email is also monitored by the company. I do not find this very professional and will not be dealing with this company due to this. If you want to communicate with someone DO NOT use their works email address.

Hi Dom,

Apologies – this was an oversight on our part; we believed the message to suitably vague yet friendly, and whereas a lot of people are complemented by being headhunted at work, we appreciate that it’s not for everyone, and we’ll not approach you again.

Jaydene, didn’t realise it was his place of work, but this was the messages she’s sent:

“Hello Dominic,

I’ve come across your profile on LinkedIn. I source PHP developers in Manchester, so It’s exciting for me to find experienced developers like yourself.
I’m aware that you’ve been at (company name) for over 3 years now, and I just wanted to reach out to see if you’ve considered the other work opportunities that are available to someone with your expertise.

Would you be open to discussing your experience and the opportunities available to you?”

Laura Short - very organised and experienced

Laura Short is definitely the best recruiter that I worked with.

Organised and straight to the point.
She doesn't waste your time and understands exactly where to place you.
Always on time with everything, she catches up with you and reminds you all your interviews and stuff you have to do.

Laura is a great recruiting professional. I definitely recommend her.

The Kerry Foreman (Venturi Experience)

I had a wonderful client journey with Kerry Foreman who successfully placed me in a full-time position within a Mayfair based Wealth Management firm as a Business Analyst. From start to finish the process took no more than 3 weeks. I am very grateful for her professionalism, constant update and feedback which secured my dream job. I was in search of a home rather than a role. I have found it here. I am happy to recommend her and Venturi to any one in need of her service which is first class.

Laura Short was very helpful when I was exploring new data engineering opportunities. She quickly understood my requirements and discovered the best company that matched my technical and non-technical requirements. She kept me up to date during the entire recruitment process and gave useful tips at each stage until I secured the job role.

It was a pleasure working with Laura and I would highly recommend her. Thanks again!

Venturi Review with Kerry

I have been dealing with Kerry at Venturi. I have found Kerry to be understanding and approachable. She has kept me up to date at all stages of the application process and when seeking interview feedback from companies. I received a sense that Kerry genuinely cares about my success as an applicant regardless if it's a job she has put me forward for or not. It has been a genuine pleasure working with someone in the recruitment sphere who treated me like a person not just another candidate on a list. Overall I could not be happier with Kerry's performance and professionalism during the course of my job hunt.

Venturi experience

Venturi is among the best Recruitment Consultants with whom I have had the pleasure of associating. Throughout my engagement with Venturi, my assigned consultant, Olivia Ferris, took the extra effort to understand my role preferences and finally did get me the role I wanted. She's thoroughly professional, an outstanding individual who takes pride in what she does. She also cares about you.

My experience with Venturi was overwhelmingly positive. My agent and now consider a friend Laura Short was so supportive, motivating and highly professional. Throughout the whole process, she supported me, called me to see how each stage of the interview went and was prompt in following up. It was such a pleasure of working with Laura and I cannot recommend Laura enough. Thank you so much!

Another entitled recruiter

Connor Evans (Manchester office) emails me with unsolicited, mass-mailed, generic rubbish. Claims my company's existing recruitment partner isn't as good as him. Claims to have taken me off his mailing list. Only to email me again with the same mass-mail a few days later. Unprofessional and they obviously have no issue with lying to you. Avoid.

Edit: The company has replied and I don't believe them either. Besides the lazy excuse, there is no "unsubscribe" button in Connor's emails.

Hi Callum,

We are sorry to hear that you've had this experience.

Our team have investigated the situation - there was a database error where your partner's data was removed instead of yours. If you don't click the unsubscribe button the removal of data is a manual task and therefore human error does occur, unfortunately.

We can only apologise and do our best to sharpen up these processes.

Hi Lenor,

Apologies you feel this way. After investigating your message we discovered that you aren't a customer but instead a prospect for Venturi internally.

For internal reviews - please head over to our Glassdoor page. Trustpilot is not the appropriate platform, this is for customer reviews.

Excellent experience

I just got a new role, with the support of Venturi.

Outstanding service!
