Candidate Testimonials

'Annaliesa and the team at Assured are simply fantastic, they've supplied perfect candidates for roles at The Hut Group, many of whom have gone on to out perform my expectation in many ways. Annaliesa is always on time and professional.

More importantly, she knows our business really well and feels like a member of my team. Highly recommended!'

Richard Chapple
Commercial Director

'After registering my interest in the advertised position, I was contacted by Gemma and the position was clearly described to me over the phone and all of my questions were answered fully and efficiently.

For the first interview at Assured, my request for an early morning interview was met without question. This was important to ensure that my current job was not affected. As well as being able to present myself as a suitable candidate, the interview was also very informative and gave me a further appreciation for Interserve and the specific role.

The second interview at Interserve went smoothly (and successfully!) and was helped by having Gemma there as a facilitator. Considering that I had not attended an interview for 9 years, the experience with Gemma and Assured helped me to present myself more confidently and fully which I may not have been able to do otherwise.

Ultimately the recruitment process resulted in a successful career move for me within which, Assured played a big part.'

'My recruitment consultant was extremely helpful during my recruitment process. She ensured that I was kept informed of the progress at all stages, offering advice and suggestions. Once I had accepted the role, she also made sure that the process of preparing to start was as straight-forward as possible.'

Karen Harkness
Solutions Architect

'The recruitment process from start to finish was all handled very professionally.

My recruitment consultant was very keen and interested to meet up and discuss the role. She was also very passionate about the role and company itself, and also very honest and up front. She talked me through what the job had to offer, and was very hopeful to put me forward for an interview.

Even after the interview and the job offer, she was and still is available, helpful and a good listener for everything.'

Paul Newsome
Outbound Sales Advisor

My recruitment consultant at Assured found my CV on Monster Jobs internet site, she thought my skills/experience suited a position that she was trying to fill. I received a telephone call from her who explained about the vacancy at Interserve.

Once confirming that I was interested in the position a short telephone interview took place. A couple of days later I then attended a face-to-face interview at Assured's offices in Newcastle-upon-Lyme for screening etc. After successfully completing the first interview I was then invited to a second interview at Interserve, West Bromwich

My recruitment consultant kept me updated throughout the decision making process and called me a few days later to inform me that I had been successful. The paperwork/contract followed a few days later for my signature and return.

Vanessa Collins
Customer Services Advisor

'In my initial meeting with my Recruitment Consultant, she was able to accurately and effectively understand what my needs were and my main strengths. She was then able to both rule in and rule out potential roles quickly and efficiently.

As a result with the extremely positive relationship she created with the client, she was able to find a role that suited my needs totally, resulting in a very close match. The proof of this was the eventual job offer and my acceptance. Her handling of the salary and terms and conditions negotiations was exemplary and I came out with a very favourable offer. In the last 12 months I have dealt with numerous agents and Assured stood out as a company that is really in touch with both client and potential employee, therefore offering much more than just a CV filter.'

James Furnival
HR Advisor

I was much impressed by Assured Recruitment as they took me through the application process for my current job. The screening interviews were a great success and allowed me to build a good picture of the company up before I had even attended site, the information and updates I received were frequent and never left me wondering what was going on with my application. Had I not been successful with my application I would almost certainly have asked my Recruitment Consultant to attempt to place me elsewhere and I have recommended them highly to friends who are thinking of looking for new positions. From an applicant viewpoint they provided me with the best experience I have ever had of application and even followed up with effective post placement communication, the whole process has impressed me immensely and I really have no hesitation in commending Assured for the service which was provided to me.'
