    "Their deep understanding of the telecoms industry was evident throughout the process, and they were incredibly flexible in adapting to our unique needs. RecruitME has proven to be a great partner, consistently providing exceptional service and candidates who truly fit our requirements. Highly recommended!"

    ​"I will always be grateful to the team at RecruitME for teaching me the fundamentals of being a successful and ethical recruiter. They provided me with the knowledge, support, and guidance that have shaped my career, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.

    Howard and Chris each bring unique strengths to the business, creating a dynamic partnership that drives success. Howard’s extensive HR background, gained from working with global organisations, ensures a deep understanding of people and processes, while Chris’s ability to streamline operations and strategise effectively maximises opportunities. Their complementary approaches have been instrumental in RecruitME’s continued success.

    The journey of RecruitME itself is a testament to resilience and adaptability. From navigating recessions to overcoming the challenges of a global pandemic, the company has not only survived but thrived. That ability to withstand adversity is a reflection of the leadership and dedication behind the business.

    I’ll always remember how uncertain I was at the start, not knowing if recruitment was the right path for me. But Howard and Chris believed in me, and that belief paid dividends for all of us. Their mentorship and support helped me find my place in this industry, and for that, I will be forever grateful.

    Congratulations on reaching 10 years – a milestone that is thoroughly deserved."

    ​"RecruitME and more specifically Mr Howard Rudder, contact me about a role as a HSE Advisor to an aviation Company, I thought that this was beyond me, but Howard, said to me that I was the best choice for this role, so I made the initial interview and got through that very well and then the second interview, which I sailed, but was still not confident I had done enough to secure the role. Well, how wrong was I, Howard contacted me and informed me, that they would like to offer me the role as the HSE Advisor, which I took with open arms, please remember that this was only a 18month contract.

    "However, after 6 months, the Company offered me a full time role, which I was thrilled to accept. All the above would never have happened, if it was not for the help I received from RecruitME and Howard to secure that role, Howard has been fantastic and is a great ambassador to RecruitME, because even after I was given the full time role, he has kept in touch with me and take it from me, that not many Companies would do that, this shows and proves to me that RecruitME, are looking after my best interests.

    "What a great Recruiting team RecruitME have, if you need a job, give them a shout, because even if you are not a confident person, they will make sure you are by the end and will get you the role, you rightly deserve, they did it for me and for that Howard and RecruitME have my upmost gratitude."

    "​It was a pleasure working with you last March/April, and I'm still most grateful for your help in securing my position at the NIC. Nine months have flown by. I've been involved in a variety of projects, from installing hostile vehicle mitigation bollards to design and build of a VIP entrance, new staff room, Panthersland and dance studio.

    "You were a great intermediary between me and Lee, and a brilliant coach and support, with guidance and advice on making the most of my experience, which wasn't necessarily what they thought they wanted. I feel that I have brought a lot to NIC's business and got things done, which hadn't always been the case before.

    "Your ability to read between what your client wanted and candidate had to offer was invaluable, and I'll always be grateful for that. Having been a PM for many years, travelling the country and Europe, it's great to now be based in one place. All my projects are under one roof and there is such a variety going to the same place each day is never boring.

    Absolutely would recommend RecruitMe. We were recruiting for a new role within our company so it was quite difficult to provide an exact job description. I talked our requirements through with Howard and had a general discussion about our company background and the kind of skill sets we were looking for and Howard hit it spot on, the candidates put forward to us were a perfect fit to what was discussed in the brief. Very professional company and willing to really listen to what was required. Can’t thank you enough Howard.

    ​“We are a rural local authority with a head count of c450 staff. We like to undertake our own recruitment campaigns and encourage our managers to take an active role in hiring their own staff, but in the past we have struggled to attract the right people to some of our more technical roles.

    The team at RecruitMe have helped us overcome those hurdles - they learn about each role we are recruiting to and the requirements of the service. In turn through their research, they understand our organisation and its culture.

    We are grateful for the professional service they provide from initial commissioning of their services, through the interview and onboarding processes and once individuals have started their employment - they regularly check-in to ensure that all is going well during probation periods. Even during lockdown when organisations were struggling, they were able to help find interested candidates and we were able to make a successful hire!

    Thank you RecruitMe!”

    ​"TGW was looking into recruiting ex forces candidates and RecruitME came highly recommended. TGW had never held a specific military recruitment day before and the team at RecruitME gave us lots of useful and insightful information and ideas. We agreed on a date and time then the RecruitME team did their thing to ensure that we had a room full of eager ex forces candidates to present TGW and our opportunities to.

    Initially our hiring managers were unsure if the skills the candidates had acquired in the military would be transferable as its difficult to understand their skillsets from their CVs. After the event one of the senior management team said to me that he could see some of the candidates becoming influential people within TGW in a very short space of time! Safe to say everyone involved was blown away by the calibre of candidates and the service from RecruitME so much so that we recruited four people from the first event! I can’t recommend Chris, Howard and Nigel enough!”
