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.

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.

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.

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.
