What some of our candidates say about us…

AB Recruitment offer a fantastic service, I dealt with Becky during my experience. Becky was friendly and professional but above all she really listened to my needs of finding a career to fit around my family. Quickly Becky matched me to a job and I interviewed, when the offer came in Becky was brilliant at answering my questions and finding out the information I needed to make my decision to accept the role and start a new adventure in a completely new industry. Thank you Becky!

I joined AB Recruitment as a candidate in Dec 2021, the job was a short team only set out by the employer as few months’ employment. Year later I am now permeant and doing a job I love. Becky suits the person to the job, and the job to the person. Anand and Becky got to know me as a person, not just a candidate, which made me feel valued

A & B Recruitment is not just a fantastic recruitment agency, they are the BEST agency I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I would personally like to thank Anand Panchmatia from A & B Recruitment, not only that he recently helped me get a fantastic role, but ever since I’ve started working with him, he has been there for advice and guidance about the next steps in my career development. After finding me a fantastic role with a great company I then had the co – owner Becky Harker personally message me to congratulate me on getting the position, which I found just so lovely that she had taken the time to wish me all the best. If you are looking for a job, please contact them, they are brilliant.

I want to thank Anand for the help he has given me. Not only did he help me find a fantastic permanant job, but when the start date changed he had me in an immediate temp position to cover the gap. He has been kind, patient and supportive, which is exactly what you need when you are making this kind of change in your life. I’d absolutely recommend this company.

How highly can you speak of someone and the service they provide. Well, Becky at AB Recruitment exemplifies all that is good and positive in the recruitment industry. She was always totally responsive and engaged with me in a professional and courteous manner.

She provided immediate suitable options for my next role and I was able to readily select the one which I was successful at securing.

In our conversations I felt as if Becky was more of a friend rather than just another business deal.

The service AB provide should be considered bespoke; always encouraging questions and engagement about prospective employers and genuinely wanting feedback at each stage of the process.

I wholeheartedly recommend you give AB a try if you are looking to return to work or are making your next career move.

AB Recruitment are our sole agency of choice. Anand, Becky and the team have been an integral part of our financial services business for a number of years.

They have always been a very honest agency who work with integrity and go the extra mile for us every time, We have had some very difficult roles to fill in the past and AB have always managed to source suitable candidates for us. We will continue our partnership with AB Recruitment and look forward to many more years of doing business together. Well done guys!

“I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and your team for your efforts this week.

We appreciated you filling an empty slot at very short notice (especially as we then offered on the candidate), and also that you put us in a position whereby we have offered on four of the six candidates you have given us this week.

As you are aware from our conversation earlier in the week the changes to the number of slots is geared up to us having a 2/3 offer to interview ratio so thank you for achieving that this week and keep up the good work.”

“A&B Recruitment have played a huge and important part in ensuring the tremendous growth we have experienced at Carpeo runs smoothly and to plan.

They have often gone the extra mile in terms of finding us great talented people and have worked late to ensure they meet our criteria, their reactive approach is second to none and has on many occasions taken the pressure off of my team allowing my managers to focus on the operation and our clients.

The team members A&B have recruited have a high retention rate which is fundamental for any business, they offer quality candidates rather than quantity and provide an after service care that both Carpeo and our new recruits are grateful for.

Carpeo is a demanding client as we react to our client’s needs, but the patience shown towards our requirements (which often gives very little notice) is testament that the A&B team truly understand our business and respect our challenges.

A&B have a personal style and understand Carpeos culture this has seen them create good relationships across the contact centre.

Becky, Anand and the team have built trust throughout the business and are recognised as the recruitment partner that really cares about each individual campaign and team.

A&B are professional, honest, friendly and reliable, I personally see them as being very much a part of the Carpeo family, it is a pleasure to work with hard working people who care more about us as a client than they do about getting the sale, in a competitive industry this stands them out from others”.

“I have worked with Becky and Anand and the A&B Recruitment team in my current role and in previous roles over many years. The whole team are great, very professional and a pleasure to work alongside! A&B really take time to get to know their client’s recruitment wants and needs, we have an honest and open relationship and I am sent candidates of the highest calibre who are relevant to the roles I am recruiting for. My expectations are always managed by the team and I have no hesitation in recommending them to colleagues and clients who need help with their recruitment.

I can honestly say you will never receive anything apart from a friendly professional service where it’s obvious that clients and candidates alike are more than valuable to A&B, the team do a fantastic job and can handle any recruitment situation that may arise no matter how short a timeframe you give them. They can work Recruitment magic!”

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I began my search for a new career opportunity and was immediately harassed by unrealistic offers from other agencies. Then I spoke with Becky from AB Recruitment, I immediately felt like I was speaking with a real person that had my best interests in mind. Becky spoke with myself about a possible opportunity that was exactly what I describe that I was looking for, now, less than a month later I have been hired. I would highly recommend dealing with AB Recruitment.
