Best recruitment agency around

Great communication! The only recruitment agent who actively sends you possible roles and helps you through interview processes. Shout-out to Emma and everyone who helped in the process for getting me my role- which I wouldn't have found without GRB.

I was able to secure a graduate role with GRB after being put into contact with Elliot. Having someone to support and guide you through every stage of the interview process is so helpful, and Elliot was on hand for anything I needed every step of the way, very grateful to have been put into contact with him. Super excited to start my professional career very soon thanks to Elliot and the GRB team!

Highly recommended

We couldn't find a Software Engineer on the market so we decided to train our own with the help of GRB.

Access to their quality talent pool enabled us to choose from some of the best qualified Computer Science grads in the country. With their guidance and support they were able to supply the best candidate for the role in terns of skillset and cultural fit for us. Highly recommended.

The GRB helped me find an excellent job that I really enjoy, and James helped guide me through the interview process making sure I was well prepared at every stage. I wouldn't be in the position I am now without their help and definitely recommend if you're a grad struggling to find something after uni!

Great Help

Danielle from GRB was great, she helped me in finding a new role and throughout the interview process, providing tips on how to prepare, and then settling everything with the company after they offered me the role. Grace was also helpful throughout. Great experience all round.

Absolutely Incredible!

I had the most amazing experience! Fresh out of university I was mindlessly applying for jobs with no hope. This was until I got into contact with Faith and she was an absolute star! No pestering calls or emails, just news and feedback about opportunities and it’s thanks to her I managed to secure an interview and now a role at a new job. I can’t thank her enough for all her help and support!

Exceptional Service from GRB and Faith

After graduating from university, I uploaded my CV to the GRB Recruitment Bureau website and applied for jobs through their platform. Shortly after, I was contacted by various GRB team members regarding roles that matched my field of study. One representative, Faith, stood out for her outstanding support and professionalism.
Faith reached out about a role and guided me through the entire process, from securing an interview to preparing for it. Her interview tips were incredibly helpful and made a huge difference. Throughout the process, she was consistently responsive, addressing any questions I had and ensuring everything went smoothly.
I’m thrilled to share that I got the job, and it was all thanks to Faith’s assistance and advice. She even followed up with a congratulatory call, which added a personal and thoughtful touch. I can’t recommend GRB and Faith highly enough for anyone looking to kick-start their career after university!

Would Highly Recommend GRB for Securing a Grad role!

I had put my on CV onto the GRB website as I did with many other recruitment websites - but none were as good as the service I received from GRB.

Within days I was emailed and called regarding potential roles that would suit my background based what I details and my CV I submitted via the website.

My contact throughout the recruitment process was Jake, who was incredibly supportive, regularly calling regarding updates and check-ins before interviews.

I would strongly suggest uploading your CV to the GRB website as they did a lot of the hard work in finding suitable roles - Thanks again
