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.

We used Benjamin Edwards to help us recruit the right person for a procurement role within a specialist manufacturing organisation. Claire’s attention to detail, care and professionalism throughout the process was outstanding. We had quite specific requirements for the person we needed to join our team which was no issue for Claire who found us the perfect fit for the role. The candidate, now employee, has been employed for several weeks now and has fitted straight into our culture and way of working and it feels like he has been with us forever.

Once the candidate was in situ Claire kept in constant touch to ensure that everything was ok and check on his progress.

I would highly recommend Benjamin Edwards if you are looking to recruit as no other agency I have worked with spends as much time ensuring that every parties’ needs are met and the best possible candidate for the role sourced

We worked with Claire on a project for two vacancies and she was a pleasure to work with, professional and really knowledgeable about the sector which meant that she chose the right candidates for us to interview and subsequently recruit. 

We would not hesitate to use Claire again for our recruitment needs.

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.”

Having never worked with a recruitment agency before I was unsure what to expect.  Benjamin Edwards was recommended to us and Claire was super-efficient and helpful.  The entire process from advert to appointment was handled incredibly well and took the strain from myself with a process that would have been very time consuming. 

Communication with the charity and with the candidates could not have been improved upon. 

 We successfully appointed to the role and have an excellent candidate in post now thanks to Claire and the team.  I have no hesitation in recommending Benjamin Edwards to help with recruitment to your vacancy

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!

Dealing with a new agency whilst going through a pandemic left me apprehensive.  Benjamin Edwards made it easy by delivering a high standard of professionalism and customer service throughout the process.  Claire delivered a number of exceptional quality candidates who had already been vetted for suitability to the role which made our interview process so much easier.

We have dealt with Benjamin Edwards for two high profile employees and have found them to be extremely efficient and professional. The quality of candidates with the abilities we require have already been well vetted and are of a high quality, in fact it has been a pleasure dealing with Claire from the start to the finish

The service received from Benjamin Edwards has been very good. Contact has been regular and prompt where necessary, and the candidate requirements were met efficiently resulting in a new staff member for our team

From the initial meeting through to each successful conclusion Claire has been delightful to work with. She is a great listener, goes to the crux of what is required and seems to have a magic approach to sourcing candidates, even in a really hard to fill position such as law. Her experience and creativity really put her apart from any other recruitment solution I have ever used

Claire offers a truly personal service that is very different to the CV pushers of this world. As well as a unique understanding and insight of the local market, she has that special skill of getting the cultural match right. Her hit rate has been 100% so far. The candidates I have recruited through her range from excellent to outstanding!

I have worked with Claire for several years and have always found her professional, timely and sends us high calibre candidates many of who we have appointed. Claire understands our requirements and delivers a high quality service. I can recommend Claire to anyone.
