A special mention to Grace Simpson for their excellent support and customer service throughout. Their assistance has been greatly appreciated.

Outstanding customer service

This has been my 'go-to' site of choice for many years when job hunting (I do a lot of temporary or fixed term work) and I have long liked its functionality, the way users can set up searches and alerts, that sort of thing.

A revamp of the site in early June threw up some problems with the search facility so I contacted the site using the feedback address that was offered. Within a couple of hours I had a call-back, personally, from Ben and we discussed the issues, the problems they were causing and the reasons for the changes to the site (largely volume and capacity, because there are now so many users.)

Ben then sent me a detailed, precise email telling me what action he was taking, whether or not other people had raised the same issues, and offered me his personal (work) email should I have any more problems. This is a level of customer service that is far beyond anything I've experienced for many years, where most firms simply send an automated response thanking me for an email that they haven't even read.

The site now appears to be working much more smoothly, suggesting that my difficulties weren't specific to me and that the development team had listened to users and acted swiftly to rectify these glitches. But to receive a personal call-back and emails from Ben was quite beyond anything I'd expected, and I hope his employers recognise this.

Isaac - Customer Service for the WIN

Isaac was extremely helpful in the training he provided. He gave me so many extra tips and tricks that will make finding candidates an absolute breeze. He was extremely interactive and was happy to ask as many additional questions as I had along the way. His training style is also very "Work with you" as opposed to others I have attended where you get lost halfway or are made to feel like a complete idiot!
