Rec 2 Rec / Recruitment Jobs - Testimonials

Quantica

"Taryn is the most professional rec to rec recruiter I have come across. Throughout our 8 year working relationship she has critically supported our business growth with excellent candidates and provided valuable advice on the market. Her previous experience within recruitment consultancy gives her a usp over her competitors and has enabled her to fully understand Quantica and the type of people that will do well here.
An incredibly hard worker, she is passionate about recruitment and the success of her business as well as ours and this is reflected in the high standards she operates to.
A pleasure to work with, Taryn and her business are always my first port of call when I am looking to recruit into Quantica."

"Fiona consistently provides Quantica with excellent candidates and has played a vital part in assisting our growth over the years. She understands our culture and expectations better than anybody in the rec to rec marketplace and has never wasted my time by shortlisting unsuitable consultants. A thorough professional, she works with integrity, discussing candidates' attributes in a candid manner with us and she is viewed as a trusted advisor by the business.
Fiona is a pleasure to work with and not only delivers an excellent recruitment service to us but represents us professionally in the marketplace.
In a crowded industry, Fiona stands head and shoulders above the rest and when I have a recruitment need, she is always the first person I call."

Fiona has been extremely professional throughout the recruitment process and has helped me make my next career decision. I feel that Fiona,and Wilkinson Hindle in general, provide an excellent service in terms of the amount of suitable opportunites they put forward to candidates as well as how they prepare a candidate for interviews.

If and when I have a need in the future, whether I am looking for a role for me or indeed recruiting myself,Fiona will be my first point of call.

Best regards

I found Wilkinson Hindle to be an impressive, highly professional recruitment organisation.  They listened and understood my exact requirements and were able to act on this information due to their extensive knowledge and understanding of the recruitment markets.  Fiona was friendly, efficient, well organised and committed; qualities that are essential for any consultant. All of our liaisons were conducted over the telephone and by email which is testament to Fiona’s clarity and ability to communicate effectively.  Her diligence has resulted in me finding my dream job recruiting for the legal market.  I have no hesitation in recommending Wilkinson Hindle to any recruitment consultant, in any city that requires honest career advice, a creative approach and a first class service.

I have worked with Wilkinson Hindle for the past four years and have developed an excellent working relationship with their consultants during this time. They have a thorough understanding of our business and our needs enabling them to supply people who match our culture.

Refreshingly, I have only ever been asked to meet candidates who are relevant to Quantica in their experience, skills set and attitude. They send a small number of high calibre candidates and I am never faced with a plethora of inappropriate CVs. As such, they are one of the few Rec 2 Rec organisations whose call I will always take.

When the consultants at Wilkinson Hindle provide a précis of their candidates, they are always honest and accurate in their assessments and they offer a frank and open discussion about their candidates’ capabilities, achievements, salary and future expectations. As a business, Wilkinson Hindle are passionate about what they do, they work hard at helping us find the right people and always maintain a professional level of service. In my opinion, this is rare not only in the Rec 2 Rec market, but in recruitment generally and reflects Quantica’s ethos as an organisation.

Wilkinson Hindle project us extremely well in the marketplace and uniquely, their candidates always speak very highly of their contacts at Wilkinson Hindle. They are thoroughly professional and a pleasure to work with.

Ken Wilson Associates is a financial recruitment consultancy, located in Newcastle. As a recognised finance recruitment brand, we had an opportunity to bolster our already successful team of consultants, by expanding our headcount within the regions.

We had worked hard with our new and existing clients, to service their needs within finance and when a position became available as a Divisional Temps Controller; we couldn’t accept any help from agencies who were unable to prove their capability as competent resource partner.

We had already attempted to engage with a number of recruitment to recruitment companies, with very little success, and therefore found Wilkinson Hindle, and in particular Andrew McCracken, to be one of the most effective and professional consultants to work with.For this particular assignment, within Commerce & Industry, it was not unique, but as we were located in the Newcastle area, away from the London capital it was proving exhaustive.

Andrew listened patiently to understand the specifics of our requirement, and worked solidly to deliver to us a shortlist of candidates, using a dual solution of headhunt and contingency. Andrew’s energy was fully tested and proven, when we moved these candidates to interview. What impressed us most was Andrew’s thorough research and effort to identify, communicate and set our expectations from the onset, and when candidates arrived, they were fully prepared, punctual, and when offered, reference checked prior to their start date.I

would not hesitate to use Wilkinson Hindle as resource partner again and certainly look forward to the next assignment Andrew can assist me with in the near future.

UK Divisional Manager - Ken Wilson Associates

"Having worked within recruitment for some time and seen both good and bad practice, I was delighted by the way in which Wilkinson Hindle helped with my job hunting. Taryn was the only consultant who took the time to meet with me and as a result was able to put forward opportunities that matched my circumstances and career aspirations. I was able to openly discuss the potential employers with her in a constructive manner whilst feeling that it was my interests that were paramount, not fee generation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wilkinson Hindle and have already referred colleagues to her who have received the same high standard of service."

Justin Mills
Executive Search Consultant

"In what was a very stressful time during my relocation back up North from London, Wilkinson Hindle made every effort to accommodate my needs & requirements. I was met in London & felt that Taryn had a real understanding of my background & future career plans & aspirations. They swiftly arranged interviews with the major consultancies in Liverpool &, even when my timetable dramatically changed, smoothly co-ordinated my applications to a very successful conclusion. I would fully recommend Wilkinson Hindle to any consultants who wish to be represented to the highest standards."

Rob Hillock
Accountancy Recruitment Consultant

"I felt when dealing with Wilkinson Hindle that I had found a Rec 2 Rec firm that actually took a pride in their service levels and worked proactively on my behalf. It was refreshing to work closely with Taryn Hindle, as she possessed many years experience with the Industry and genuinely understood my career needs."

Simon Dixon
Business Manager

"This is a note to thank you for all the hard work you put into finding me a new role, I really appreciate all that you have done.

I registered with three agencies, between the other two I was introduced to one company – all of the other meetings and introductions were initiated by you.

Annamarie McHugh
Area Director

"I would like to thank you for your time and the professional manner in which you presented both yourself and your company. I wish you every success in the future and can only add that if my experience was anything to go by (which I am sure is just your normal working practice to you) then your future success is not in question."

John Elder
Manager

"I was cautious about approaching a Recruitment to Recruitment Consultancy when looking for a new job in recruitment myself as I had very specific aspirations. Registering with Wilkinson Hindle dispelled any reservations I had. Upon meeting with Fiona I felt confident that she had a full understanding of my expectations and not only could she provide immediate solutions which were highly relevant; she gave me time to undertake my own research and make my own decisions. I was 100% comfortable to allow Fiona to act on my behalf on an exclusive basis, and she did not let me down.

Wilkinson Hindle obviously have a great relationship with a wide spectrum of high profile clients. Within a week I had interviews set up with my top choices, and not only was I provided with a comprehensive background to each company; the client also had an accurate copy of my CV and a precise understanding of my ambitions. Fiona was highly respectful of my personal commitments, let me set my own pace throughout the process, and was honest and direct with feedback both to and from clients. The support and advice I received from Fiona was invaluable and I would like to thank her personally for my own successful outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Fiona and the team at Wilkinson Hindle to anyone who is serious about finding their ideal job in recruitment."

Jane Glenn
Manager

"At last I have had time to sit down and write to thank you. If it had not been for all the hard work that you put in on my behalf, your endless patience and belief and the fact that you actually listened to me and what I wanted rather than just sending my CV to all your clients, I would not be in the position I am now (no pun intended). I am pleased to say that contacting Wilkinson Hindle was probably one of the better decisions I made, you were by far the best company that I dealt with in terms of not only service, but matching me, with what I wanted, and giving feedback.

During my search for a new challenge I contacted many “well known” rec to rec companies, some of whom did not even respond to my CV and some of those who did had the same vacancies on and just wanted to push me down the same route.

I am pleased to say that in the 8 months I have been with Aptus Personnel I have been shown nothing but support and been given new opportunities to develop both myself and the staff that I manage.

I would not hesitate recommending either you or Fiona as I have found Wilkinson Hindle more than professional when dealing with them. I am sure that in 2007 I will be using your services again to search for new staff for the Manchester office of Aptus Personnel, as we are going from strength to strength in our business."
