“I cannot speak highly enough of Benjamin Edwards and Katy Qutaimi in particular.    Having been made redundant at the end of March, Katy spent a lot of time with me to find out exactly what I really wanted from my next role, rather than adopting a scattergun approach of putting me forward for anything and everything just because ‘I was available’.   I believe this was invaluable and helped to prevent me getting demoralised with the whole process.   When it came to going for interviews the amount of information and assistance that Katy gave was, in my opinion, above and beyond her duties. I am so grateful for the amount of effort and care put in and helping me to secure a new role.   Thanks again Katy and Benjamin Edwards!!  “

You made the process incredibly easy for us to recruit, taking the leg work out of the process.  The candidates were of a good standard and we are very pleased with our new Financial Controller.  I felt you kept in excellent communication regarding the process, took time to really understand our needs, and we couldn’t be more delighted with the result. In the future, we will certainly use you again for the appropriate role recruitment and would recommend your services most highly.

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.  

Recruiting for a Finance Manager “I recently worked with Claire at Benjamin Edwards when we needed to recruit a Finance Manager due to business expansion. We spent time detailing the vacancy and the type of person we were looking for to fit in with the rest of the team, and Claire was quickly able to suggest a number of candidates for consideration. Most of those put forward were a great match for our business, and I was impressed by how well Claire had understood both our requirement and the candidates she was representing. Following further discussions on the suitability and experience of the individuals concerned, we were quickly able to identify a short-list of candidates for interview, all of which were more than capable of successfully undertaking the role we had available. Thanks to Claire’s input in identifying and selecting candidates, we were able to appoint the most suitable person for our specific role. Based on this success, we will definitely use Benjamin Edwards again in the future.”  

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.

Thank you so much for all your help with our recruitment, we really do value your services and advice.  I felt that you really did understand our needs and requirements as a business and did only refer to us the candidates who you felt would be relevant and suitable for each role – this is very much appreciated.
