Ben from Benjamin Edwards has helped me place candidates on multiple occasions now and each time the thing that strikes me about his way of working is his professionalism and ability to listen to the role brief provided.  He has then successfully sent along people matching my ideal person which has then led to a smooth onboarding process, later resulting in completion of the probationary period without the need to rehire.  Anyone who has tried to recruit themselves knows the time and expense taken which impacts on the daily tasks you should be doing.  I would highly recommend Ben and his team.

5 Star rating. Very attentive and reliable service provided in sourcing the right candidates to fit the needs of the role. We explained the required character profiles as well as technical skills, and the candidates we subsequently employed met them.

Benjamin Edwards Recruitment played a key role in helping me secure my next senior executive position, and the experience stood out for all the right reasons. What impressed me most was their professionalism and consistency, particularly the fact that they didn’t “ghost” me at any stage, something that unfortunately isn’t always a given in this industry. From the outset, I had a genuinely positive candidate experience. Claire and the wider team were approachable, transparent, and clearly invested in understanding my skills, career ambitions, and what I was truly looking for in my next role. It never felt like I was being pushed toward just any opportunity; instead, they focused on finding the right fit. Communication throughout was excellent. I was kept informed at every step, from initial conversations through to interview feedback, which significantly reduced the usual stress and uncertainty that comes with job searching. Claire, in particular, was supportive, honest, and offered insightful advice that reflected both her experience and a genuine commitment to helping me succeed. Overall, I would highly recommend Benjamin Edwards Recruitment to anyone seeking a professional, supportive, and candidate-focused service. They made what can often be a daunting process feel seamless and well-managed. As someone in a leadership position who regularly receives calls from recruiters, I can confidently say I’ve now found my go-to team for future hiring needs. Well done to everyone involved.

After unsuccessfully trying to fill a role ourselves for months through free to advertise job boards, we contacted Claire at Benjamin Edwards and had a great candidate in place in the role within 4 – 5 weeks.   Claire provides a professional service and has excellent knowledge of job markets and current candidate salary expectations.   After successfully filling our initial role with Benjamin Edwards, we had a requirement for a second role almost immediately. Again, after discussions with Claire we had another great candidate in the role within a matter of weeks.   Teledyne Lincoln will certainly look to use Benjamin Edward’s services again for our recruitment in the future .   On a personal note, I’ve also had support from Claire when I’ve previously been searching for a new job opportunity for myself, and found Claire to be professional and knowledgeable in this capacity too.  

Assisting a Commercial Accountant in their career

  Claire reached out got in touch with me via LinkedIn about a new role that I could be interested in. It was a step up role that I might not ever have had the confidence to apply for on my own, but from looking at my profile and CV Claire advised that I was in fact exactly the type of candidate the company were looking for! Claire was friendly and professional throughout the whole process, and also helped me to prepare for my first ever ‘Virtual Interview’. The interview process on the whole was smooth, and Claire was available for all and any questions that I had. I am now settled in my new role in a fantastic company with great career prospects, an extremely fortunate position during these trying times that I would never have been in if Claire hadn’t found me and reached out. Thank you!  

I could not recommend Claire and Benjamin Edwards highly enough. Claire took the time to get to know me as a person and understand what companies and roles would best suit and motivate me. Applying for jobs can be daunting, but Claire helped me stay relaxed and made the whole process easy through excellent, frequent communication along with help and advice where needed.
