We receive a swift response to the vacancies we place with Aston Taylor and are provided with quality candidates. Interviews are organised without delay and the Aston Taylor staff are courteous."

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. I will be looking to them for future help in locating elusive quality staff to help drive my business forward. I have known Vic for a number of years and have contacted him and his team over those years. I wish Vic and ATM all the best for the future."

Jane McKechnie, Mackenzie Scott Search and Selection

"We have recruited 2 consultants through Aston Taylor. We have received a good service in terms of good quality CV’s and feedback / follow up from the Aston Taylor Consultants"

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."

Nick Hodson, Jane Lewis Healthcare

"They do exactly what they say they are going to do, find experienced professional recruitment personnel, and get them in front of you when they’re supposed to. Only sent relevant CV’s They deliver a prompt timely service. Knowledgeable, professional, and extremely courteous, I felt like they were in control of my recruitment needs and was serious about finding the right person for my business. They don’t keep pestering me with CV’s and sales calls when I’m not recruiting. "

Lucie Davidian, ECR Global

"We have worked with Aston Taylor for over 4 years now and they have provided several outstanding consultants for new business opportunities within our IT Sales and Delivery practices. Identified and selected the best candidates for our company, culture and our business and ensured a smooth process."

Rupert Bassi, Modis International

"We have worked together for the past 3 years and in this time, we have recruited around 7-8 people from them. The candidates they have supplied to us have generally been of good quality, and some remain in the firm as consistent billers. 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. "

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. "

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!"

Thomas Steenholdt, Pytec IT Recruitment

"Aston Taylor have successfully filled a number of Trainee Recruitment Consultant vacancies for us over the last 3 years. They have always acted in a professional manner and taken time to gain a good understanding of our recruitment requirements."

Jackie K

"Thank you very much for your help. I have to say that you have been great – you were very thorough and asked me far more questions than any other agency. You made sure I was well prepared for interview and gave me advice if I needed. Thanks for following up everything quickly for me. Carlsberg – probably the best beer? Aston Taylor – probably the best Rec to Rec!! "

George R

"Hi Apologies I haven’t come back to you after you have left a few messages. Just to let you know I am having the most fantastic time, so thanks so much for your help. The team are great and it is tremendous being able to build up the temp desk. Thanks for your help in finding me the job. "

Nichola P - Branch Manager

"I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for all your help and support in helping me find my new position, I am delighted and can’t wait to start next Monday! You offer a great service and are clearly one of the good Rec2Rec agencies, so I will not hesitate in recommending you to my colleagues should they be looking. Many thanks again & have a great weekend. "

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."

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."

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."

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 ! "

Kelly L - Recruitment Consultant

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. "

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"

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 !"

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. "

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 !"

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 "

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. "

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. "

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."

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. "

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! "

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. "

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. "

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."

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."
