Ian White Ian White - Technical Support

"After 6 months of searching high and very low for a job through all the usual sources: agencies, jobsites, adverts etc, I was lucky enough to apply for a post through Precision Recruitment. Almost immediately I was contacted by Will and put forward for interview (the first of three). I met up with Will to discuss the vacancy, the client and what to expect at the interview, as I was more than a bit rusty.

This gave me the confidence I needed together with a professional approach from Will who supported me from the beginning of the process, feeding back to me at every stage. All the advice Will gave me helped me secure my dream job. Thank you."

Anthony Anthony Faulconbridge - Maintenance Manager                                              

"Having been made redundant from my previous position at the end of May 2009, I had contacted and registered with more agencies than I could remember, most of which were useless! Will from Precision contacted me about a Maintenance Manager role which matched my career and salary aspirations. He helped me to re-write my CV to give it more impact and secured me the interview the very next day.

By the end of the following week I had been offered the job and I started the following the week. Precision Recruitment were totally professional and communicated with me and the prospective employer at every stage of the process. If you are looking for an agency that go the extra mile and look after its candidates, then call Precision Recruitment. All I have left to say is thank you very much and I look forward to returning to work for a great company."

Richard MooreRichard Moore - Sales Executive

"I met Phil whilst attempting to sell to him coincidentally at the time, was unhappy with my job. A position in the same industry was available and I was interviewed the following week. Within 3 - 4 weeks, I had started with this particular company and 15 months on, I am still very happy in my position and enjoying great success.

The speed and professionalism was first rate and it is very evident that Precision Recruitment actually take the time to make sure that the candidate fits the company and vice versa. I would not hesitate to recommend anybody to Precision as I believe that, from my own experience, they truly have your best interests as their best interest."

I can honestly say it is my dream job and I have loved my first few months here. Natalie kept in contact during my first three months and supported me during difficult times.
