Just want to say a huge thank you to Gerry who found me my first job interview after having my daughter and with only that 1 interview I gained the best job in the world and am still here after 7 years! Gerry really knows what roles are suited to people and I really can’t thank her enough! Would highly recommend Gerry and the Absolutely Recruitment Team to any companies looking for the right staff and those looking for work.

“Having worked with many recruitment consultancies over the years, from the largest to the smallest, Absolutely Recruitment has been an outstanding performer. When looking for a great consultancy I need one, which can understand my business, the requirements of the role and can send me applicants who have been properly assessed against our criteria. With Absolutely Recruitment I have never needed to ask myself the question ‘Why has the agency sent this candidate to me ?’. Absolutely Recruitment really do go the second mile in taking care to ensure that suitable candidates are put forward. Communications, particularly with Gerry Tweedie, have been excellent for a number of years and they can be relied upon to meet agreed deadlines. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

We have used Absolutely Recruitment many times to source Admin staff. It has always provided excellent people and applies a very personal approach to recruitment. I would have no hesitation in recommending the agency to anyone looking for an agency you can trust to deliver results.

I have worked with Absolutely Recruitment over the last year on a number of roles. Anne and Gerry are always very supportive and a pleasure to work with throughout the recruitment process. They understand the brief, who we are as an agency and always provide us with a good number of candidates to review/ interview. The team is great at keeping me informed of the candidates status and feedback throughout the process.
I look forward to continuing our partnership with Absolutely Recruitment!

Building strong and lasting relationships with Recruitment Agencies is a key element of my role as Internal Recruitment Co-ordinator. I have been working with Absolutely Recruitment for a number of years because, not only have they consistently offered a thorough and professional recruitment service, they are genuinely lovely people who care about what they do and about nurturing our relationship. Anne and Gerry have spent time getting to know our business, who we look for in a candidate and really understanding and tuning in to our needs. They have subsequently provided our company with a number of strong, relevant and highly valued team members over the years and I would not hesitate in using them again.”

Understands the job requirements and the culture of the company
I have worked with Absolutely Recruitment for several years. My key requirements from any recruiter are they communicate regularly, understand the role requirements and the culture of the company. This is what I have found working with Absolutely Recruitment, as they submit candidates who meet all 3 criteria. Many of the candidates submitted are recruited, which is a testament to the quality and the good fit of the candidates provided. Absolutely Recruitment are friendly, personable and responsive which makes it a great partnership!

I’ve been working with Anne and Gerry at Absolutely Recruitment for the last three years. They are one of my main ‘go to’ agencies, because I know they can be relied upon to make a 100% effort to produce good quality candidates when vacancies arise. Many agencies that I’ve worked with in the past put forward candidates who do not fit our requirements and I’ve been left wondering ‘why have I been sent this CV?’. This is never the case with Absolutely Recruitment as they invest time in getting to know and understand our business as well as their candidates. Anne and Gerry are friendly in their approach and it has been a pleasure to work with them.

Anne has been a key part of our business for many years. The professionalism and efficiency displayed by her and her team is exceptional making our recruitment process as pain free as these things can be. We have recruited many staff though Absolutely Recruitment at all levels of the business and are constantly impressed at how well they match candidates to our requirements. The care in which candidates are vetted against our requirements provides a big business win for us, saving considerable time in vetting and interviewing candidates. Even in the middle of the Covid Pandemic she still manages to find the perfect match for our requirements.

“We have worked with Anne, Simon and Ashleigh for many years and have always found them to provide an excellent, personalised recruitment service. They take the time to understand both the role and the specific needs of our business and effectively use their history with us to inform their future candidate selections. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
“I have happily entrusted all of the recruitment needs of the business to Absolutely Recruitment for many years. They are consistent in fully understanding my requirements as I have steadily expanded the business over time. Simon, our account manager has successfully placed numerous members of my workforce across a range of departments from marketing and sales, through to compliance and office support. All of whom are still with us today and form key contributors to the company’s successes. I highly recommend Absolutely Recruitment as a recruitment business partner due to their integrity, attention to detail and versatility in effective candidate sourcing.”
“I have worked with Anne and her Team at Absolutely Recruitment for a number of years, both on the books as a candidate and then subsequently as a client. The fact that I had been through the vetting, recruitment and post recruitment care personally gave me an insight and all the confidence to be assured that the process and policies used by Absolutely are thorough at robust. The team take the time to understand my needs as the client, the culture of my organisation and the requirements to provide suitable candidates for interview. I use Absolutely time and time again and taken them with me whenever I change organisations”
“We have been working with Absolutely Recruitment for some months now and find their service to be first class. They are a company that clearly cares about both clients and candidates. They are thorough when putting candidates forward for any job vacancies we have had with them and they ensure they have all of the information regarding the vacancy before going out to the market. They also ensure they do the company research as well. I would highly recommend them and their staff.”
“Over the years that I have been using Absolutely Recruitment for temporary and permanent staffing requirements, I have found their calibre of candidates to be consistently good. In particular they are always well briefed on the organisation and the job requirements.”
“Company X has been a client of Absolutely for many years and we have successfully recruited a number of candidates. As an example, one candidate from Absolutely joined us as a PA four years ago and is still a great asset in that position. Anne and Georgina have got to know our company and its requirements and they have been able to brief candidates fully about our vacancies and all about our company and the services we provide. I have enjoyed working with Anne and Georgina and appreciate the personal level of service they offer. I am very pleased to recommend Absolutely for the recruitment services they have provided to me over the years.”
“Company X have been using Absolutely Recruitment as our preferred recruitment partner for many years and, as Director of Human Resources, I have been working closely with Anne and her team for the last two years. During that time, we have recruited for approximately 12 positions and many of the successful applicants have been sourced through Absolutely Recruitment. Our experience of Absolutely Recruitment has been overwhelmingly positive. Candidates recommended for positions are always well qualified and are fully briefed on the role in question. Candidates are always well-prepared in interviews and have a good understanding of the key issues of concern to us. As Absolutely Recruitment have successfully placed so many of our current members of staff, Anne and her team have a good understanding of the company culture and the type of individuals who will thrive within our organisation and I respect their recommendations.”
“My experience with Absolutely Recruitment was excellent. Applicants were far better presented and prepared for the interview than any of the other candidates sent by other recruitment agencies. I have no hesitation in saying that when we have another opportunity we shall come back to you in the first instance.”
“I have worked with Absolutely Recruitment for many roles and I have always been impressed by the standard of candidates, the standard of the staff and how well I was looked after as a client – nothing was ever to much. I would recommend them highly to work with as they are conscientous and deliver time after time. They get to know exactly what you need and do not inundate you with candidates like some agency’s, they do only send you the highest calibre of candidates that they believe will fulfill your criteria. They have filled a number of difficult roles for me and I look forward to working with them in the future.”
“Absolutely Recruitment have found us several members of staff. I never need to look elsewhere. We are a small company and human resources is just one of my jobs. I do not have time to wade through millions of c.v.’s and so I need a recruitment arm I can rely on. Absolutely take time to get to know your company, they make sure they understand the vacancy and then shortlist just a few candidates that are perfect for the job. It may sound too good to be true but they really are very different from other agencies. I know I will not be bombarded with unsuitable applications and pushy phone calls! My time is not wasted and I can get on with my job properly leaving the recruitment expertise to them.”
“Absolutely make me feel as if I am their only client. Always available and responsive, they take the trouble to understand our company’s culture and send us only candidates who really fit the bill.”
“Absolutely Recruitment have now become my preferred supplier for recruitment services – they just ‘get’ our company and what we need. They have been able to source candidates with exactly the right background and experience, sending fewer but more relevant CVs, making my job so much easier!”
“Consultant X is truly dedicated to providing a first class service. She is tenacious and works really hard to provide results. She is enthusiastic, hardworking, energetic and has always been a great success in whatever she does. She has a great passion for recruitment and has always gone the extra mile to deliver results. She builds strong relationships with people and gets on well with all sorts of people.”
“I have known Consultant X as a recruiter for many years, not only has she provided me with some great opportunities in the past, she has also found me some great talent. Consultant X is a professional, highly knowledgeable recruiter who will go out of her way to deliver. She masters knowing her clients and candidates and after working with Consultant X for 10 years+, her recruitment partnering is always spot on. Highly recommended.”
