Testimonials

“We’ve been using People Unlimited’s recruitment services since 2003. During which they have provided us with highly-skilled candidates that not only have the relevant experience but have been a good fit for our organisation. It’s People Unlimited’s ability to understand CLIC Sargent as an organisation and their dedication to delivering the “right” candidates that means we will continue to use their services.”

Kerry Isherwood, HR Officer, CLIC Sargent

“It was a pleasure dealing with People Unlimited in our search for an experienced Marketing Officer. Our consultant was approachable, organised and sensitive to our needs. The candidates he found for us were excellent, and the candidate we appointed is proving to be hardworking and competent and is doing well managing the difficult maternity cover role set for her.”

Pamela Shorney, Fundraising Marketing Manager, Barnardo’s

“Since my first dealings with People Unlimited, in 2002, I have found them to be professional and courteous, and so I have continued to recommend them to colleagues as the agency of choice. Although my current employer does not often use agencies for permanent recruitment, when we do use an agency, it is always People Unlimited.”

Mr Jan Barton-Costa, Examinations Co-ordinator, The Royal College of Pathologists

“We have worked with People Unlimited for nine years, as the company have successfully recruited the right people for our membership department over this period. People Unlimited have made sure that they understand us and how our membership department works and have therefore found us high quality candidates to fulfil the various roles.”

Dawn Margrett, Assistant Director (House & Personnel), Chatham House

“Thank you People Unlimited for the excellent service you have provided in connection with the recruitment of our recent vacancy. The people you selected for the post were of worthy selection and therefore, provided us with a wider choice of people to interview. We felt that People Unlimited gave us an excellent service and therefore will contact you again should we be in a similar situation.”

Age Concern London

“The Royal College of Surgeons has had a long and very successful association with People Unlimited working on both temporary and permanent vacancies at all levels across the organisation.

We in Human Resources believe that the key to this success is the relationship their consultants have developed with each and every member of the department. People Unlimited understands the unique culture and structure of the College and operationally how each of our departments works. The candidates we receive are always carefully matched to the person specification and are invariably of a very high standard.

The level of customer service we receive is what sets People Unlimited apart from other agencies we use and makes it our first port of call.”

Mervin Milton, Head of Human Resources, Royal College of Surgeons of England

"forum3 has been a very successful tool for us in finding the right people to volunteer and work with us. It is a cost-effective way to source a large pool of talent which ultimately helps us to reduce our overheads. The visitors are generally of a high standard, being skilled, experienced and enthusiastic, which results in the screening process being a brief one.

forum3 has also been useful in raising our brand awareness. Visitors have been really interested in the work we do and what it means to the 2.5 million people living with heart disease in the UK.

We have also received an exceptional level of customer service from the forum3 organisers, making the entire process of exhibiting a straightforward one.

forum3 is the best volunteering and recruitment event for the not-for-profit sector."

Rebecca Birs, Recruitment Manager, British Heart Foundation

“I have been really pleased with the service received from People Unlimited. Our consultant acted quickly and efficiently with my last 2 posts needing recruitment. As a result of the quality of candidates and service provided, we have placed our last 2 members of staff via People Unlimited and they are doing really well.

We will definitely use People Unlimited for future recruitment needs. So thank you!”

Jasmine Beidas, Communications Manager, UK Skills

“This was a complex and urgent assignment where none of us really knew what to expect in terms of response levels or quality of candidates for the roles. We felt that People Unlimited’s dedicated response team was very flexible, adapting to the changing needs of our recruitment drive.

They also provided useful advice and guidance throughout our recruitment programme, kept us up-to-date with the latest figures and were always friendly and professional.

When things went wrong, as they inevitably do with a project of this size and complexity, they worked hard to put it right as quickly as possible and showed total commitment to working with us to get a great outcome for all parties.

People Unlimited’s response handling service saved us a considerable amount of time and enabled us to focus on our core work of promoting volunteering to young people.”

Jayne Colquhoun, Corporate Affairs Director, v The National Young Volunteers' Service

In all this time we have received an excellent service and find the updates provided particularly helpful with allowing us to know at what stage a CRB is at. In addition, they always respond quickly to any queries we have. I would be happy to recommend People Unlimited for processing CRB applications.”

“We love working with People Unlimited, you are our preferred recruitment agency, as you genuinely list to our needs and provide us with candidates that actually match our requirements.

Lykke Leszczynski, Director of HR Services & Organisational Development, WPF Therapy

“I have been very satisfied with the quality of person sent for interview by People Unlimited.

Thank you for your service. I look forward to our continuing working relationship.”

A job well done and we will definitely use ‘People Unlimited’ again.”
