COMMENTS FROM OUR DELIGHTED PERMANENT CANDIDATES

I'd like to thank you and your colleagues at Harris Hill for your efforts in helping my job search. You have undoubtedly been one of the most professional recruitment consultancies that I've used and, if I'm in the job market again next year, I will certainly be in contact.

As a candidate fresh out University and looking for full time employment in a particular sector, I was very much looking for support and guidance from a team with expertise such as Harris Hill.

I found all the staff most helpful. I felt I could be honest with all the team about my goals. I was pleased to receive regular phone calls and updating emails, which kept me informed of my application progress. I will definitely be getting in touch with Harris Hill in the future as your help and guidance has been invaluable. What a great team!

Harris Hill is always my first choice of agency to go to when I'm in the job market for a charity communications job.

Having been in contact with several members of staff at Harris Hill, I have found standards of customer care consistently high. Based on criteria I myself had set, appropriate jobs were usually selected and I felt well informed by the account executive throughout the interviews I attended and the whole recruitment process. I really enjoyed building some great relationships with a few members of staff in particular, and felt they were genuinely pleased when I was eventually successful in a role that suits me perfectly. I have, and will continue to recommend your services to both peers and employers alike, for the high quality of positions you manage and for your continued professionalism.

I think that the service I received was efficient, professional and very friendly .I felt supported all the way, beginning at the initial stage when I registered with Harris Hill, to securing position with my current employer. I always knew that I can email or call and ask questions. Files I received before the interview were very useful as thanks to them I was able to organise my thoughts and to prepare better for the interview. The chat after the interview was great and it goes without saying the joy I felt when you called with good news. Also, when starting work it was a very nice surprise to receive a phone from your organisation just to see how my first day at work was.

You consistently demonstrated a high standard of professionalism were always accessible to repond to any questions or concerns raised along the job application process.

Having registered with several 'charity specialist' recruitment consultants during my recent search for a fundraising position, I found the team at Harris Hill best understood the types of role I was looking for and offered useful constructive advice on what would suit my skills; they far exceeded other consultancies in terms of the number of vacancies that I was matched with.

Crucially I also found every consultant I had contact with to be courteous, professional, friendly and genuinely supportive. I successfully found my new role directly thanks to the hard work and support of one of their consultants. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Harris Hill to colleagues in the sector.

I do really want to compliment Harris Hill. I have dealt with several recruitment agencies on arrival in the UK and always just felt like just one in a pile of cv's. You were the first recruiter who gave me a sense of individual attention. I found your input in terms of compiling the application and preparing for interviews very constructive. So thank you.

I've been delighted with the service I've received from Harris Hill, as you know this is the second job I've found through you and I hope I enjoy it as much as the first one! I particularly appreciated meeting up with you and talking through what might happen at the interview, it made me feel more relaxed about it all.

Right from the beginning of my contact with Harris Hill, they were extremely helpful. I was very impressed by his efficiency and friendliness and the way that he had prepared interview material and suitable questions that would be useful in my first interview that week. He also had a good understanding of my position and what I was looking for.

They were in regular contact with me and offered help and advice along the way. All of their correspondence was professional but friendly and included everything I needed to prepare for my interviews. I was really impressed by the calibre of the clients on their books and their ability to match my CV closely with jobs that I was right for and was really interested in, despite not having worked in the charity sector before.

They gave me some good career advice which helped me to make a more informed decision when I felt overwhelmed at crunch point!

I feel extremely happy with my decision and also my relationship with Harris Hill, who have enabled me to progress even more than I had hoped for in a role that ticks every box on my wish list - thank you very much!

Working with Harris Hill was a really positive experience as I was looking to make a change in my career. Other recruitment agencies had insisted that I stuck to fundraising as that would be easier for them to find a position for me. Harris Hill were very supportive and only passed on roles that they knew I would be genuinely interested in. When I gained an interview for a role I was I really keen on, they were very supportive and gave me lots of advice. I was really pleased when I was made a job offer and I do not think that I would have been in the same position without going through Harris Hill.

I've been very impressed by the service I've received from Harris Hill. In particular the time taken to make sure I was thoroughly prepared for the interview and the excellent advice I was given. I think it made a real difference and meant I was more relaxed in the interview and asked a lot more questions than I have previously opening up a dialogue with the interviewers, which I feel was a real improvement on previous interviews.

I have been thoroughly impressed by the service at Harris Hill. Not only did they listen to my requirements carefully but they kept me regularly updated & informed throughout the interview process. I will certainly be recommending Harris Hill to any friends/colleagues who are looking for a professional and helpful recruitment service.

It was so refreshing to find a consultant and a recruitment agency that were equally as determined as I, Anton Packheiser gave me the confidence to approach my job search methodically, professionally and enthusiastically. Everyone who I met and spoke to at Harris Hill adopted this attitude which meant I felt extremely valued as a candidate.

Harris Hill will be the first agency I call when I look again, you cannot question their insight and knowledge of the charity sector never mind their exceptional work ethic. Thank you Harrris Hill!

I am very grateful indeed to the Harris Hill Executive Team for their professionalism and dedication to helping me through this difficult transition. Their belief in me as a candidate at times when I felt like the stuffing had been knocked out of me really meant a lot. Despite being strangers, they made me aware that they took a personal interest. I knew before beginning this job hunt that Harris Hill come highly recommended, but my personal experience exceeded this expectation, not just because I got the job, but because at every stage I felt that quite simply they were genuinely committed to me and looking out for my best interest.

At risk of writing a rather long letter I thought I'd do a bit of 'Brain Dump' to explain some of the aspects that set Harris Hill apart - you were the:

• First to get in touch when CV went out
• Never suggested a job that was out of the question (many did!)
• Always had a friendly and upbeat manner
• Worked as a team
• Didn't miss telling me about appropriate jobs that were also advertised widely
• Always did what you said you would do
• Gave the impression of really enjoying your work
• Asked the less obvious questions at the initial 'interview'

In my new post I shall have a team of 17 staff. It is good to know that when I have need of professional recruitment support I have a reliable team to turn to.
