Will Atkinson - TEC Group International

"Greg is one of few suppliers to have taken the time and effort to truly understand our business. He is consistent in the calibre of candidate that he presents our company, which means we don’t waste our time interviewing the wrong people. In recent months his efforts have resulted in our taking on 2 key individuals, including a regional sales director. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone who is looking for a true recruiting partner."

Katie Schlette - Cooper Lomaz Recruitment

"Steve is a great recruiter. He supported me throughout the entire process, ensuring I was fully prepared for interviews and giving detailed advice that was invaluable.

A personable and yet professional guy, Dan is someone I could call with a requirement and I know he’d set to work ASAP. Bottom line, Dan has done a great job for us over the last few months. I will definitely recommend him to others moving forward."

Mandy Zandis - Apex Resources

"Greg is one of many rec to rec consultants that I deal with, but is one of the few people within the rec to rec industry who stands out, and that comes down to his personable nature. I would have no problem recommending him."

Kris Hicks - AVA Global

"I have worked with Matt, both as a Client and as a Candidate, and have been suitably impressed on several different occasions.

Jay Ladva - Arthur Lawrence

"We had used 3 other rec2rec’s to try and source the right individuals for us, and they couldn’t find one suitable candidate who matched my requirement. I turned to Aston Taylor and Dan, who worked tirelessly to find me the best options in the market place. I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone who wants to work with a consultant that will actually listen to what you are looking for and deliver, rather than suggesting alternatives. "

Michael Cleavely - 777 Recruitment Ltd

"Steve has done a great job for Triple Seven, for once a Rec2Rec that actually delivers what I ask for and keeps in regular contact. I tried contacting at least 6 Rec2Recs before finding Steve and all of them were a complete waste of time. Steve has sent me 4 good profiles, I’ve interviewed and liked all of them and he’s been very honest with me with me throughout the process and well as speedy and efficient. I’d really recommend him, cracking guy too and I’ll continue to use Steve for the foreseeable."

Colm McGinley - McGinley Support Services

"I recently instructed Greg on a Business Development role that we were having some trouble with.

I am confident that I will be working with Matt for many years to come. "

Sanjay Kava - Cityworx

"I have known Aston Taylor for many years and when I contacted them to help find me a new recruitment consultant I was told Sarah would be working on my vacancy.

I would definitely engage Sarah as soon as I need another recruitment consultant in my business "

Luke Schanche - Astbury Marsden

"Sam Brown has been a supplier to Astbury Marsden since I took over our recruitment early last year. Sam has been a pleasure to deal with. She listens, knows her market, understands our requirements and doesn’t waste my time sending irrelevant candidates. She is always efficient and never pushy in the way she does business. If there were more consultants like Sam the recruitment to recruitment sector would have a much better reputation. I am happy to recommend her as a very good recruiter. "

Lisa Kashin - Athona Ltd

"Sarah offers a professional and consistent service which is often hard to find in a recruitment service, she always send only a few select candidates who she feels would be right for the role rather than being inundated with candidates. I would recommend Sarah service to any Recruitment Consultancy looking to hire consultants and talented sales people."

Martin Campbell - First Choice Recruitment Ltd

"Nicola has provided us with some very good people since we started doing business with her this year."

Gareth Grundy - Geotech Systems Limited

Two CV’s followed within hours that were bang on the money and interviews arranged the following day. Within 48 hours a Senior Appointment had been made. In a nutshell I couldn’t speak more highly of Sarah!"

David Broome, Quanta Consultancy Services

"“It’s rare to work with an R-2-R company that actually understands your business and your requirements....which is funny, when you consider that’s the name of the game! However Sam & Aston Taylor are the exception and combine an innate ability to understand our requirements, combined with taking time to fully understand the company culture & the finer points of our requirements. Without doubt, Sam has played a large part in identifying the talent that now makes Quanta a leader within its chosen industries. I would normally have no hesitation in recommending Sam.....although if I were to do this, Quanta might face stiffer competition when hiring new talent! In all seriousness, Sam is excellent and the service provided is first class.”"

Gillian Brown - Agility Resourcing

"Matt provided an excellent candidate and service. Although I have only used him once I would have no hesitation in using him again or recommending him to other recruiters."

Howard Greenwood, Computer People

"My relationship with Aston Taylor started about 18 months ago, and I have found Aston Taylor’s service to be consistent in supplying quality candidates that tightly match the spec I have given; and not only has this been consistent and of good quality, but is always given in a timely manner. I have not had one scenario of being bugged by different people from the business, and have always been contacted appropriately by the right people. My time has never been wasted interviewing mis-matched candidates - its refreshing to have a rec-to-rec that focuses on quality rather than quantity."

Roy Dungworth, Modis International

"Having used many Recruitment-2-Recruitment Agencies over the past few years I have found the quality of service from Aston Taylor to be best in market. All candidates have been well screened and so far I haven’t wasted my time interviewing unsuitable recruits. We have recruited 6 or 7 people so far this year at all levels through Aston Taylor and I value their support whilst we expand our business."

Andrew Manners, Gillespie Manners

"Since we started expanding our own business they have been the only rec to rec to have made placements with us. We had originally contacted 5 other rec to rec’s. Aston Taylor have been the best by a mile."

"They responded very promptly with some excellent candidates. They provided a very good background, advice and help during the process, helped negotiating terms and followed up after the candidate started. "

John Nash - Nicholson

"I’ve worked with Aston Taylor for at least 3 years and I am happy to say that they are the best rec to rec company that I have dealt with. Our consultant, Wayne Passmore never just sends me an email like so many, he calls me and tells me about the candidate personally, taking special care to identify how the person is relevant to our business. He doesn’t ever try to exaggerate a candidate’s strengths and is always objective with his comments. He never fails to do exactly what he says he’s going to do and he also has a sense of humour which is no bad thing."

Jamie Woods - JCW Search

"A rare example of consistent delivery in this sector - more than happy to recommend"

Rob Mansell, CherryRed Recruitment

"Cherryred Recruitment has been working with Aston Taylor for over 2 years, and in that time they have made many successful placements. Their success is down to a combination of great judgment of character, passionate awareness of our needs, but moreover that they believe in providing a great service along with building good, solid, & professional relationships. Working with Aston Taylor is always a pleasurable experience. "

Mark Neilan, Finlay James Associates

"Aston Taylor have been an invaluable recruitment partner to Finlay James over the past 5 years. For anyone interested in getting the best person for the job it might be worth knowing that almost our entire Southern office is comprised of individuals who were placed by Aston Taylor, from the branch manager who was placed by AT around 5 years ago to experienced consultants and trainees who are now all making major contributions to our business. Importantly, they are a Rec-to-Rec I have found I can trust. I don’t look over my shoulder and worry that they are going to be head-hunting candidates out of Finlay James and they have been very flexible and understanding on the rare occasions I have had any sort of issue. I plan to use AT as we continue our growth and consider their consultants to be an important asset to our business. Thanks for your help..."

Maria Pittortou, Adecco

"Aston Taylor have sourced various Branch Managers for me. They understand me as a client so do not bombard me with unwanted emails. When they have found a suitable match it is a quick phone call and it is done! Over the time we have worked together they have really learned the type of person I would look for and so far have always delivered the goods. We have a very open and honest relationship which is very important to me as I have little time to read between the lines. I have worked with them for over 2 years and following the service I received when we first worked together, Aston Taylor are the only rec to rec firm that I work with."

Mike Flint, Cope Management

"I have steered Candidates to ATM, looking for guidance and an overall market analysis over the years, they have provided quality advice to me and ex colleagues.

Lee Andrews, Solutions Recruitment

"Did what they said they were going to do. Their style was easy, but thorough. Took time to understand our character as a business and didn’t just throw who they had available at us. Genuinely attentive, interested and engaged. Basically, serious about what they do. Always sold the opportunity to the candidate and wanted to find applicants who share our passion and enthusiasm. Their approach was a breath of fresh air and made us sit up and take notice. This is the sign of a professional salesperson. And, we all know there aren’t many of those around!"

Lisa Pond, Adecco

"Let me know of candidates in the market suitable to my needs. Good organisational skills and follow up. Briefs the candidates well and looks after them before and after the placement. Assertive but professional and keeps the recruitment cycle going keeping everyone in the loop at all times. "

Always at hand to assist when I need, an open and honest way of working and never try to push candidates for the sake of trying to do the deal. "

Iain O’Dair, Timothy James Consulting

I would thoroughly recommend Sam, and the excellent service he provided"

Wayne recommended my new employer to me and within a week I had a job offer from them. In an industry which has a bad reputation, Wayne is an exception to that and would recommend him to anyone looking for a new recruitment role or looking to break into the industry."

Jack S - Recruitment Consultant

"Sam has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He is one of the very few recruitment consultants that actually addresses your needs and works efficiently and professionally to deliver. I highly recommend Sam for anyone seeking a top quality service, delivered in a friendly and professional manner. Sam you’re a real gent!"

Anthonia O - Associate Recruitment Consultant

"Jasmine was an amazing recruitment consultant. The same day she contacted me to find me work she already had me set up with interviews. She would keep detailed track of my progress and keep in contact even if it was just to say she hadn’t heard anything. Her service was excellent and she found me the perfect job. I would recommend her to anyone"

Christine S - Recruitment Consultant

"It was a great experience to work with Jasmin - she took the time to go through my experience and understand what kind of company I would like to work for. Jasmin knew I wanted a new role asap so she introduced my profile to companies immediately and had interviews arranged within a couple of days. I would highly recommend any candidate looking for new opportunities to use Jasmin and her colleagues at Aston Taylor as they are very professional, friendly and open consultants." "

Ray H - Senior Consultant

"Jasmin worked tirelessly to try secure me a role coming back from the UK. She was incredibly dedicated and went above and beyond to help in my transition. She understood what I was looking for and listened and worked through all the challenges we had. Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be this time, but would recommend Jasmin as the best in her field. Jasmin is a credit to Aston Taylor and a credit to her profession. "

Richard G - Search Consultant

"Matt is by far one of the best recruiters I have worked with, he is full of energy and has a real passion for providing his candidates with an excellent level of service.

Matt really understands what is needed in the recruitment industry and is one of the best recruiters I know"

Nick C - Exec Researcher

"Greg was instrumental in finding me my next role. He put me forward for some great roles in great companies, leading to very enticing offers. He has a consultative approach and happy to deal with any difficulties that may arise. As I had several offers on the table, he was energetic and honest in discussions with me about the best way forward, and not once did he attempt to get me in discussions with a firm that was not right. He’ll be my first call if I find myself in another awkward work situation."

Jerome L - Resourcer

"Jasmin really helped me to find a new position that was right for me. I want to thank Jasmin for the patience that she had and her dedication and commitment to finding the perfect opportunity for me as it was outstanding.

Dan R - Senior Recruitment Consultant

"I have recently been place by your consultant Greg Pedder. I have been in the business for nearly 10 years and have never really needed to use a Rec-2-Rec and always been a tad dubious to do so. Firstly, how wrong was I, Greg was an absolute joy to work with from the start, he has an incredible grasp of the market and actually listened to what I was after, no waffle whatsoever and listened fully to what I wanted as a candidate. He kept in contact with me from interview to offer constantly and for that I am truly grateful. So today was just a quick email to say to say thank you to Aston Taylor and Greg for doing an amazing job finding me the perfect job!"

Jack C - Recruitment Consultant

"Rosie is great, she is always easy to get hold of 24/7 and knows her job really well. She took the time to find exactly what I was looking for on my next move and the next day she had an interview sorted for me where the following day I started the position. I have been in my new role for over 2 months now and love it!! Don’t waste time looking at other rec2rec’s because Rosie had the lot!"

David M - Recruitment Consultant

"I contacted Greg to help with my search for work when making a career move. Straight away I found him to be highly personable in his approach to dealing with me and ,in addition to this, I found him to have very strong knowledge of his clients and very skilled at prepping me for interview. I have no hesitation in recommending Greg’s services."

Liz D - Senior Account Manager

"Matt is an experienced and exceptional recruiter and I would say one of the best recruiters I have worked with. He is friendly and not “over friendly” and calls just about the right amount of time during an interview process. What Matt is very good at is listening. I wanted to work within the Oil and Gas industry and Matt made this possible. Matt researched some companies on my behalf and came up with some options. Within a very short space of time he had put my details forward to the company of my choice and arranged an interview. His follow up service is also excellent. If you are looking to perhaps change industry sectors then I am sure Matt can make this possible."

Jack Y - Recruitment Consultant

"Wayne has been a pleasure to work with! He has been informative from start to finish in my search. He has also always had the time and effort to keep me in the loop every step of the way.

James S - Managing Consultant

"In a very saturated Rec to Rec market, Wayne stood out head and shoulders above the rest. He contacted me with a number of excellent opportunities and spent a lot of time gaining an understanding of what I was looking for and what sort of organisations I would be right for. He managed the process with maturity and skill and was always in contact to update me on feedback and timescales within the process. I highly recommend Wayne for anyone looking for a new role."

Katie S - Recruitment Consultant

"I have known Daniel for quite a few years and when I recently found myself looking for a role within the recruitment industry, I knew he would be the right individual to work with. He is strongly personable and took time to understand my requirements. I have recently started a new position thanks to him and his colleagues which I am very happy with, and I would certainly work with him and Aston Taylor again in the future."

Davinder P - Recruitment Consultant

"Rosanna is an outstanding recruiter with depth of knowledge that is rare in this industry. She qualified my requirement, narrowed down an impressive list of clients and kept me informed with progress until we reached a successful conclusion. I would highly recommend Rosanna as a recruiter who not only excels in her role, but is a thoroughly likeable individual who creates an instant rapport."

Kofi G - Delivery Consultant

"Steve is very knowledgable in the Recruitment field and was able to provide a high-quality service. His honest commitment to finding a role was most impressive and he was thorough in his preparation. Additionally, Steve is of a personable and friendly disposition and I would recommend his work to anyone."

Sanjay J - Business Development Director

"Greg is but one statement; “the epitome of what a genuine rec-to-rec consultant should be.” His knowledge of the current marketplace is second to none, coupled with a genuine empathy towards his candidates – it’s not all about the money but the development of a sustainable long-term relationship. Greg’s working methods demonstrate his commitment to his candidates. His tireless efforts to effectively make the best opportunities available prove his worth, and justify both honesty & loyalty from all whom he engages with. I would not hesitate to recommend Greg on both a personal and business level. He is truly a unique individual with a skills set that would be enviable by most recruiters. To be honest, if the vast majority of rec-to-rec agencies had more consultants like Greg, the industry would not have quite a disreputable image."

Ryan T - Recruitment Consultant

"Jasmine worked extremely hard with her colleagues to ensure that I found a company that was right for me. Given my changing circumstances she did a fantastic job in refocusing her efforts and has done a fantastic job. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new opportunity and I cannot thank her enough for her help."

Dan T - Recruitment Consultant

"I believe Greg to stand head and shoulders above all other professionals within what is a very populated Rec2Rec environment. From the first moment of contact he quite clearly listened to what my unique aspirations were and on EVERY occasion matched these to prospective employers. Throughout the process he impressed me with his clear and in depth knowledge of the various companies he represents. I would have no hesitation in turning to him personally when building a team or recommending him to any colleagues I have worked with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

Justin P - Recruitment Consultant

"I dealt with Matt when I was on the job search that led me to my current position. Matt was straight forward, hardworking and always delivered what he said he would, which is all too rare in the Rec2Rec marketplace. His expert advice and opinions really made a difference and he also had a knack of talking through issues with me, giving objective advice. He was available to talk at times that suited me, not just on a 9 to 5 basis. It’s a cliché, I know, but Matt does really go the extra mile. I would unhesitatingly recommend Matt. If you’re looking for a Rec2Rec guy to find you quality candidates, he’ll do the job. If you’re looking for a new recruitment job, he’ll get you choices and guide you with honest advice. Either way, he delivers. Others talk about it - Matt gets on with it!"

Carol C - Recruitment Consultant

"Paul contacted me through LinkedIn as I am currently seeking a new role and as a Recruitment Consultant myself, have always had a very low opinion of Rec2Rec Consultants. So far he has secured several interviews for me, he keeps in touch, understands my background and gives thorough and creative interview briefings. I would recommend Paul to any Consutlants who are looking for that ’job in a million’."

Sital J - Business Development Executive

"I was referred to Greg by a trusted friend who had worked with him both as a candidate and client and I can honestly say I was not disappointed. From our first conversation Greg made sure he fully understood exactly what it was I was looking for in my next role and his methodology and knowledge of his clients ensured that not only was I fully prepared for all opportunities sourced, but also each of these matched the search criteria I had given him. His professional manner gave me confidence that he would represent me to his clients in the best way possible and this was backed up when in interview. From our first conversation it took less than 3 weeks to receive the offer for the position I now hold. Greg comes highly recommended, I easily foresee using his services in the the future when I look to expand my team."

Tim R - Senior Recruitment Consultant

"Steve is thorough professional and has a good sense of humour. It was a pleasure to engage with Steve and I will definitely be keeping in touch with him."

Jason J - Business Development Manager

"I worked with Sam Brown from Aston Taylor in 2011. She was a very professional and trustworthy person. She listened to my requirements and was very helpful and knowledgeable within the Construction sector. I would have no problem or hesitation in recommending Sam’s services within the Rec-to-Rec sector."

Nathan R - Senior Recruitment Consultant

"Steve recently placed me in my new role. From my initial conversation with Steve, he was frank, forthright, professional and helpful. He listened to and understood what I wanted to achieve from my new position, and then set about organising suitable interviews with excellent well qualified companies. I am very happy in my new role, and I would not hesitate to recommend Steve very highly indeed. A conscientious recruiter who delivers results!!"

Daniel R - Recruitment Consultant

"Matt recruited me into my latest role. Right from the word go Matt understood me and knew exactly the kind of role I was looking for. I was a tough cookie and was being rather selective about the roles I wanted to be put forward for and he promptly came back with some great options and now a week down the road I have a new role with the contracts signed and I have a week off before I start to boot! Reliable, extremely friendly and goes that extra mile for his candidates. I highly recommend Matt and his excellent resourcing team to anyone looking for a true Consultative Recruitment experience."

Katherine C - Recruitment Consultant

"If you have Sarah on your side, you are in good hands. She is a great Recruiter. In my opinion, one of the best. We have known each other for a few years now and has shown consistency from the first day we were introduced. Sarah’s approach is friendly yet professional and takes time to listen and qualify both candidates and clients, with whom she has strong relationships with. She will ensure you are fully prepared for interviews and her effort to assist you throughout the process is outstanding."

Janine M - Senior Recruitment Consultant

"I worked with Matt recently and found him extremely thorough. He gave a very good brief on the role in question and was a great support throughout the process, always on hand when needed. The client also fed back to me that they were very impressed with his professionalism and speed to respond. I would definitely recommend working with Matt as a candidate and a client."

Manny S - Recruitment Consultant

"Jasmin was easy to talk to and did not treat me like a number. She is very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to work with."

Dan M - Recruitment Consultant

I would highly recommend Greg."

Narada P - Recruitment Consultan

Katy W - Recruitment Consultant

"Sam B and Steve S - Thank you so much!!! I am so, so pleased! I can’t wait to start my new job in January. You have both been absolutely fantastic. Other consultants I have spoken to do not compare. I will definitely recommend you to friends/ex colleagues."

Kristina S - Senior Recruitment Consultant

"I wanted to thank you all for the fantastic job, the exceptional team work and professionalism you displayed in handling my application from the start. After an unexpected redundancy I submitted my CV to Aston Taylor and within a day Nicola rang me to conduct an interview and find out all relevant information. We had a detailed discussion and agreed a plan and in no time at all I had a call from Sam (West and Brown) as well as Matt and Stephen. They arranged 4 interviews with fantastic companies all based in Central London. I was so confident in the team I didn’t need to search any further; I sat back and instead of franticly registering with all other consultancies I concentrated on getting ready for my interviews. I had an excellent briefing prior to meeting the clients and a job spec, and I was equipped with all relevant information. A week after my redundancy I got a job as well as a promotion, a salary I wanted and a fantastic commission structure with a rapidly growing organisation. What a rollercoaster! I highly recommend Sam and her colleagues at Aston Taylor. "

Gary N - Managing Consultant

"I requested the services of Daniel to help me find a job that matched my skill set. As well as being a good listener he understood exactly what I wanted and put me in front of the right people."

Claire C - Recruitment Consultant

"Matt was my Rec-to-Rec. He is an Excellent Recruiter. He is extremely reliable, punctual and personable. Matt provided a great service, he knew exactly the type of company I wanted to work for and was able to organise a number of interviews with highly reputable companies in a short space of time and was always able to coordinate both my schedule and the clients. I absolutely love the company that Matt has found me and he still keeps in touch to see how I am doing. Matt definitely is Brilliant at what he does and he always goes that one step further in providing a service which is evidently better than his competition. I would recommend Matt without hesitation to any candidate in their job search!"

Karen B - Managing Consultant

"Steve is a great consultant to the Recruitment 2 Recruitment Industry. What I like most is that he ’really’ gets to know you as a candidate; he listens carefully and is always quick to react. He is great at networking with his colleagues on your behalf to make sure you know about every opportunity and calls his candidates to stay in touch and responds to emails quickly (all rare qualities in a consultant in today’s market). I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to clients and candidates alike. "

Ken M - Director

"Matt provided me with an excellent service during my job search. Matt only discussed relevant opportunities with me after listening carefully to my career goals. He ensured I was fully briefed before meeting his clients. He took and gave full, frank and honest feedback. Matt always did what he said he was going to do, including simple things like returning calls or calling me when he had promised to. Having experienced Matt’s service as a candidate, it fills me with enough confidence to work with Matt as a client. I think that’s the highest recommendation I can offer!"

Malcolm H - Senior Recruitment Consultant

"Greg has an enormous degree of patience which is coupled by his abilities to coordinate communications with finite details to conclude with the correct end result"

Simon E - Director

He never sells, rather presents the best solution making the job of selection easier and the recruitment process smoother. He works with integrity - rare in this field - Nice guy too!"

Richard M - Recruitment Consultant

"David was courteous and listened to my needs as a candidate. He then delivered opportunities to me that fit what we discussed. He kept me informed at every stage of the process"

Daniel G - Recruitment Consultant

"Samson, just want to say thanks for all your help with this job. I’ve never used a rec2rec before and have always been a bit dubious but you’ve been a star and I’ll definitely recommend you in the future to anyone I know who is looking."

Stephen B - Senior Recruitment Consultant

"Nicola was very professional and tenacious as i was not the easiest person to get hold of! She clearly knew her clients very well and provided me with well matched opportunities. In the end I joined a firm about 6 months after first being introduced to them and Nicola kept on top of things all the way through. I will definitely use her again should I be looking to change jobs!"

Stewart H - Recruitment Consultant

"Matt is by far one of the best Rec 2 Rec Consultants I have ever used and I would recommend him to anyone looking to change roles. Within 1 hour of having my CV he had arranged 5 interviews and had me in front of some of the best IT recruitment agencies in London within days. He kept me informed throughout the recruitment process and has placed me in a role that I can grow and excel in."

Jamie W - Recruitment Consultant

"I would just to like to praise the services of Aston Taylor.....whether it has been speaking at 8 in the morning or 8 at night you have worked tirelessly to the highest standard to secure me high quality interviews with three presitgous companies. Incredibly professional and dedicated from our initial phone call and is a credit to Aston Taylor. I would certainly recommend your company to anyone looking to start a career in recruitment and would like to thank you personally for his invaluable role in securing me the right job with the right company."

John L - Recruitment Consultant

"I hereby declare my sincere Aston Taylor’s acumen and overall professionalism in this field. Having worked with many consultants from many companies, I have been able to observe the excellence consistently displayed throughout the time we worked together in the face of both competent and less able competition. You took the time to get to know me and understand what I have to offer. My trust grew throughout the time I dealt with you. Your attention to detail when ascertaining my needs and the consummate advice for choosing an employer facilitated a fast and efficient achievement of my goals. Your services are reinforced by great empathy and understanding fuelled by an invaluable knowledge of his sector. Without these qualities, I would have felt that I was ‘shooting in the dark’. Aston Taylor was clinical in their elucidation of my options and tactful in managing my expectations. It is clear that closing a deal is not their sole motivation. If my experience is congruous with others (I get the strong impression it is), Aston Taylor care about their work, their candidates and their clients and believes in their ability to get the best for everybody involved. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Aston Taylor on both a professional and a personal level - sense of humour and optimism from start to finish added the gloss to this practice which made for a smooth transition into my new job. I have every reason to believe that other in my position will share my experience and I urge them to tap Aston Taylor for all they’re worth. "

Mark N - Trainee Recruiter

"I recently dealt with Aston Taylor, who arranged a couple of interviews for me as I was looking for a position in IT recruitment. I wanted to write to say how impressed I was with their attitude and professionalism. I have dealt with a few Rec 2 Recs over the past few weeks, and most were just not up to scratch. They always did what they said they would, when they said, and operated in a very professional manner. I was very impressed by all aspects of the service. It really was quite amazing the gulf in standards I found between Aston Taylor and any other recruitment company I dealt with. It is the only company I will be recommending to anyone else. "

Sarah H - Recruitment Consultant

"I really rate your agency and think that you guys do a fantastic and professional job. I was really impressed with everything when I was placed by you and the aftercare was second to none! "

Simon F - Recruitment Consultant

"May I say a really big thank you for all your input and efficiency regarding the position I was going for. You were very professional and thorough and I was very impressed with the personal touch you gave me. "

Andrea S - Search Consultant

"Many thanks to you for helping me find this position. I have found your service from initial telephone interview through to interview debrief and salary negotiations to be first class and I would not hesitate to mention you to others."

Danielle D - Recruitment Consultant

"I have myself worked in recruitment for 10yrs and therefore have loads of experience of the recruitment process. My experience of working with you is an extremely good one. Experts in your approach and thorough from start to finish. I could see that I was dealing with a highly professional company who knew what they were doing. This gave me great comfort especially since there are so many cowboy rec2rec’s about. I wanted to let you know how happy I was with the service because people don’t reward outstanding service enough. Should I need to use your services again I will be more than happy to approach you and would have no problem in recommending Aston Taylor to any of my friends or colleagues. "

Louisa F - Recruitment Consultant

"Thanks so much again. I appreciate myself how much effort is involved in recruitment and what a pain us candidates can be sometimes!! lol! May I just take this opportunity to thank you and the team there at Aston Taylor for your help and quick, proactive response. I’m am absolutely THRILLED to bits about the position. I knew as soon as you mentioned it to me, it was the role I wanted. Your hard work and great sales technique I hope is recognised within the firm as well as your excellent communication skills. Being made redundant was an extremely big shock to me. This whole process has been very quick and well managed and it has been a complete pleasure to deal with you. I will have absolutely no problem whatsoever in referring people to you and the rest of your team. With best wishes and big thanks once again. "

Dan K - Operations Manager

"Paul provides a great consultative service. I never felt out of touch and received feedback and advice in a timely fashion as well as great insight into the recruitment process. Probably the best recruiter I have worked with from a candidate perspective"

John R - Recruitment Consultant

"I found Nicola to be approachable and a pleasure to deal with. She didn’t harass me and provided me with sufficient information to make a considered judgement, unlike a few other agencies, who didn’t seem to have a clue about the companies they work with or the roles they were recruiting for. I would recommend Nicola to any prospective candidate or company, as I’m sure she would provide both parties with similar levels of professionalism."

Philip Q - Recruitment Consultant

"I contacted Nicola as I was searching for a new opportunity; she was empathetic to my current working situations and was always courteous in her approach. She managed my expectations and was firm and straight with me regarding not only my current situation but also the opportunity that had been offered to me. She acted as a go between and tried to resolve all the niggling doubts I had, she encouraged me and made me aware that my current situation was not the norm and that my new employer could offer me what I needed in terms of progression and recognition. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nicola to anyone that is thinking of a change of career within the recruitment industry."

Gemma S - Recruitment Consultant

"I just wanted to drop you an email to say thankyou. Being in recruitment I know people arent the quickest to show their gratitude therefore I thought it was important to write this email. It was a really hard decision for me to leave XXX and one that I had been contemplating for a while, I was very nervous and didnt know what else was out there. You quickly figured out my requirements, kept me updated at all times and made sure I was always fully prepared. You made the process so much easier. I also feel I have to mention that when I was in a panic over my presentation, nothing was to much trouble, not once did I feel that I wasnt their problem! Although XXX is very different to XXX and will take some getting used to knowing people and how they work I am excited about my new role and am hoping for a offer next week (only my 2nd week!) I hope you have fun spending your commission because its well deserved !! ;-) I wont think twice about recommending you in the future. Thanks again "

Rula J - Senior Recruitment Consultant

"I would like to say that the customer service I received exceeded by far from what I would have expected from a recruitment company. You took the time to really understand right from the start what I was looking for, supported me very well through all t he interview process and then got me what I was looking for in negotiating my salary. A big pat on the back and greatest thanks. Thanks for everything you’re a star and I know I accepted the best one !"

Katy W - Recruitment Consultant

"I am just writing to say a huge thank you to Aston Taylor for all your efforts in finding me my new position. You have been extremely helpful offering advice, preparation and constant communication throughout the recruitment process. You have excellent personalities which in return, made you easy to talk to, humorous at times! Yet always professional. Thank you both so much. I’m on day 3 – and it’s going well so far, fingers crossed I have a long successful career. "

Thomas L - Senior Recruitment Consultant

Donna H - Managing Consultant

"I would like to thank Aston Taylor for providing me with such a fantastic opportunity, listening to what I wanted and thereby successfully finding the right role for me."

Alex C - Branch Manager

"First of all thank you for all your help in my career search. I am so delighted with the role and the company, I would also like to thank you for being so professional and managing my expectations and aspirations. I will be back to recruit my Consultants in the near future. If you ever need a recommendation for how great you are, give my number as I will be singing your praises. Candidate care means a lot, it’s a pity that not all other rec2rec’s felt the same, the world of recruitment would have a better name if it did and they took a leaf out of your book. Once again THANK YOU !"

Claudia B

"Hi, I hope you are well? Just wanted to say I am really enjoying XXX and wanted to thank you for all your assistance and help, you were great and didn’t seem to mind my constant questions and calls! As I said I am really enjoying it here and hope that they are enjoying having me! I promise you will get a bottle of some description but you will have to wait for payday! Thanks again Claudia"

Andy Y - Recruitment Consultant

"David is an example of a model recruiter from a candidate’s perspective. He sourced interesting roles, kept me updated throughout the recruitment process and ended up placing me in a role which suits me perfectly. I’d highly recommend David as a recruiter."

Jessica E - Recruitment Consultant

"David is a pleasure to work with and a true professional at all times. Never having worked in recruitment before, he helped me to select the kind of company I would like to work for and guided me through every step of the process and ultimately placed me. His permanent enthusiasm and friendly manner make him an absolute pleasure to work with and his market knowledge and relationship with his clients make him incredibly efficient and trustworthy. I cannot sing his praises more highly."

Kelly L - Recruitment Consultant

"I just want to say the biggest thank you ever for getting me my dream job. From the start i’ve had a great rapport with you, i felt i could trust you from the start to listen to what i wanted and that’s exactly what you have done. You’ve worked so hard for me and i thank you from the bottom of my heart. I shall, of course be recommending you to everyone i know. Once again, a huge thankyou, you’re a superstar. "

Raphael G - Recruitment Consultant

"Firstly I would like to point out that I have never ever taken my valuable time to write a letter of recommendation. This should illustrate straightaway the sheer quality and level of service that Aston Taylor has given me during the entire recruitment process. From word go, you have provided a complete professional service, taking care of all my requirements and assessing my capabilities on a consultative level. The consultative advice given to me concerning my career path was invaluable and saved me making some very serious mistakes with regards to how I should further my career. After literally 3-4 dats of liasing with Aston Taylor I ceased my own search for employment and completely relied on you. I ceased my interaction with all other agencies and had a 100% feeling of trust that you would find me the perfect position. To have salespeople within your organisation with this level of professionalism (skill) is a credit to your Company. I end this recommendation with one last point, I will be referring your Company to any and all possible candidates that I know. Maybe this is premature but if I ever get into the position to recruit, it will also be through Aston Taylor. Thanks again guys ! "

Marianne P - Recruitment Consultant

"David was a pleasure to work with in my search for a new role in recruitment. He maintained constant contact with me even when I was dealing with other consultants at Aston Taylor who were also very good. David put me forward for positions giving me plenty of information about the companies and confidence that I shall gain interviews and positions. David fully understood the sort of role I was seeking within recruitment and now I am in a position I am extremely happy with. I recommend David and the consultants at Aston Taylor to anyone seeking a new role within recruitment who wishes to be managed by a team dedicated to finding the right fit for you."

Julie T - Branch Manager

"Applied to Aston Taylor after a two year career break, looking for a Branch Managers Role. I found my contact at Aston Taylor to be extremely professional and very informative. Aston Taylor really took the time to understand what I was looking for and what was important to me. I really felt that Aston Taylor was working on my behalf. Throughout the interview process with my current employer, I was fully informed about all aspects of the branch I would be taking over, how the interview process would work, which proved to be extremely accurate. Since joining Adecco, Aston Taylor has been in contact to ensure that everything is how I thought it would be and that I happy in my new position. Aston Taylor is a company that I would highly recommend."

Richard L - Director

"Sam is without question one of the best Rec2Rec consultants in the UK. She has raised the bar in my eyes and is simply a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Sam to both Candidates and Clients, you will not be disappointed with the results."

Samantha E - Recruitment Consultant

Peter M - Director

"I hope you pass this last sentence to your own Director. Having dealt with many Rec to Rec Consultants over the years, you have surpassed my expectations with your professionalism, knowledge, enthusiasm and above all sheer dynamics in dealing with my application and process. You are a credit to our profession and I am positive you have an outstanding career ahead of you - above all, thank you for your support and confidence in this transitional time in my life and career."

Kate B - Branch Manager

"When I was looking for my last recruitment role in October 2007 I posted my CV on Monster and I was approached by many recruitment to recruitment agencies as I have over 10 years experience in the business. Aston Taylor was the first agency that I had contact with that was actually more interested in me rather than the fee. I was offered all manner of positions with other recruitment to recruitment, however I was very specific in my requirements. The consultant that I worked with, was the first Consultant that listened to my needs and then acted. His aftercare was amazing and within the first 6 months I would receive a call at least every month to check I was happy. The service I received from Aston Taylor was exemplary and I felt that I was a person, not a number or a FEE! Aston Taylor have placed me in a position once, they would be my first choice Recruitment to Recruitment firm if I was ever looking again. I do feel that they have placed me into the exact company that fitted my requirements and I doubt that I will be looking in the distant future."

Hannah F - Resourcer

I’d gladly recommend Steve to anyone (although I’m not sure I need to as he’s already placed 4 people with my current employer!) Thanks again Steve."
