What they say...

Alan has a refreshing approach to recruitment and business. His professionalism goes without saying. Alongside this, he brings a quiet humour, charm and pragmatism to the process. He’s also hard working and determined. As a client I really do sense that we are in it together with a common goal. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Alan listened to the ideal profile of person that I required and matched the interview candidates accordingly. He presented me with only a couple of cv’s of candidates he thought I should interview, one of which progressed well and now works for Norbord. Overall I’m pleased with the service delivered by Alan and will work with him again. Very happy to recommend.  Alan listened to the ideal profile of person that I required and matched the interview candidates accordingly.

Alan is unlike the vast majority of recruitment people. He genuinely cares and takes an interest in your company. Being his own business, Alan is profoundly aware that he is building long term relationships with his clients. As such, he isn’t out for a quick placement and move on. We find that approach extremely professional and most welcome.
