Candidate testimonials

The following is just a sample of responses from satisfied candidates:

"Many thanks for all your help and for a really excellent, responsive service. I have dealt with a few agencies over the years and generally the experience has not been all that good - this time it was excellent."
I Hamilton
Helpdesk Analyst

"I read the testimonials page on this website before I typed this and can agree with everything that is said. From the initial contact via the ad on Jobserve through to the interview, Paul has been on the ball. Since securing the role I haven't been forgotten about either, I seem to speak/email with Paul every other week. Well done to Paul and PCR keep up the excellent work."
Dominic Vincent
Contract Network Engineer

"Last Friday I was offered a job with a highly prestigious software company and I wanted to bring to your attention the superb service that I received from Toril Bugge. Throughout the whole process Toril has been excellent at giving me the information/help required and keeping me up-to-date on the process and checking in with me before and after the interviews. I have been in touch with other recruitment companies and Toril has been by far the easiest and 'nicest' person I have dealt with. During the whole process I have felt very comfortable and not once been concerned or unsure of my application's progress. Toril is a credit to your team and company name."
Nathan Jones
Support Engineer

"Toril, you are very easy to work with, a lot better than some of the sharks I have dealt with in the past in London! You are one of the few recruiters I have spoken with that I have actually liked - and that's not just because I have been successful in getting a job! Thanks again."
Nick Morgan
Database Administrator

"Ladies and Gentlemen! I cannot praise this company highly enough. I have had dealings with several of PCR's staff now. They are all very friendly, caring and helpful. In addition they are highly professional, responsive and effective in taking care of your requirements and ensuring that they fit into the right job for you and your employer. This is because they take the time to get to know you and listen to what you tell them. They are always available to give advice and help with any queries you may have. They are simply the best agency I have ever dealt with."
Liz Purdam
Business Analyst

"I found Paul and the other members of PCR to be professional, focused and efficient throughout the entire recruitment process, with Paul successfully securing the terms and rate I sought from my new contract. I would strongly recommend PCR to others. Many thanks."
James Churchward
IP/MPLS Network Engineer

"I have received the contact, signed it and sent it off this morning. I'd like to thank you for everything you have done to help me get this job, your advice and tips were 'spot on' and I don't believe I would have interviewed as well without them. Thanks again."
Gareth Mills
Design Verification and Compliance Engineer

"The PCR recruiter I had contact with was very professional. PCR ensured that both my interests and that of the recruiting organisation were met. Once I was awarded the contract PCR were great at providing impartial advice."
Rebecca Reid
Change Manager

"I've dealt with many different agencies over the past 6 months during my search for a new position, but PCR and Lewis Turner stand out as the best by a long shot. OK, I'm a bit biased because they found me such a great job, but they have been outstanding in their approach, provided a great pre-interview brief and bent over backwards to close the deal for me. If only I'd known about you guys when I first started! A VERY professional operation... they are now the only recruitment company left in my 'favourites' "
Mike Austin
Electronics Design Consultant for a Cambridge start-up company

"Thanks for the good wishes phone call on Friday morning. From initial contact PCR have been professional and efficient. I have had great success using their services and would recommend them and use them again."
Amy Kingston
Database Administrator

"Amongst recruitment agencies PCR are an absolute breath of fresh air. They are helpful, informative and professional, and their expertise and competency has certainly eased my transition from full-time employee to contractor. I have been extremely impressed by the service they offer and would happily recommend them to anyone."
Bart Read
Software Applications Developer

"Being a consultant of some years standing, I understand only too well what makes a good and bad agency. PCR were friendly, articulate and professional at all times. They kept me well informed and made me feel as if they were working as much on my behalf as for their client. This is a rare feat in the world of consultancy and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."
Brett Shepard
Contract Technical Infrastructure Project Manager

"PCR provided me with a high level of confidence in their ability to match me with the type of role I was looking for. Right from the outset they were extremely helpful, informative and at all times professional. I would recommend PCR to anyone looking to move on in their chosen career path."
Jeff Smith
Product Manager for a Bespoke Networking Company

"I have been contracting for some years now and obviously have been involved with quite a number of agencies. None have been as friendly and professional as you and PCR have been. You kept me informed at every stage of the process. You were very kind, helpful and reassuring. You even asked me to phone you just before going into the interview. Your constant reminders on how to deal with the client were a great help. I'd like to thank you and PCR for a job well done. If it were not for you, I'd still be unemployed."
Regards,
Chris Francis
Contract On Site Support Engineer

"After being made redundant at a time where the IT industry was suffering, I felt quite despondent. I had placed my CV with numerous agencies, but had little contact. This was increasingly frustrating. I had been placed by PCR previously and decided to contact them again. After a frank and open conversation with PCR I felt that I would again be represented in a good light. A couple of weeks later I received a call, and went for the first stage interview, as PCR pride themselves on 'knowing' the candidates they suggest for a position. A couple of days later, and with a lot of support I found myself in gainful employment. Facts speak for themselves."
Andrew Brown
Contract Field Support Engineer

"The end of an era (error?). This is it I'm afraid. I'd just like to say thanks for all of your help over the past couple of years. On the occasions that I have needed something out of the ordinary from yourselves you've never let me down. As far as agencies go I think you people are the best, all contact with you has been both professional and friendly and I hope to work with you again one day. I'm starting to fill up now, so I'll call it a day! Again, thanks for everything."
Tony H.
Former Contractor - NT systems Administrator

"I would definitely recommend PCR to all my colleagues. From the first step of responding to the ad on 'Jobserve' to my placement, John and PCR have given me a first class service. Renewals have always been on time and I was well informed of all the progress."
Sanjay Rabheru
Network Analyst

"My feedback is simple, I fail to see how anyone could be disappointed with PCR. I received superb, prompt advice for each stage of my application including improvements to my CV, detailed advice for interviews, what each interviewer would look for (they were known personally to PCR), and the subsequent negotiation once an offer had been received. I would recommend them to anyone."
Jon Kempster
IP Telephony Consultant

"I signed up with a couple of other agencies as I saw some jobs of interest, but compared to you these other agencies are rubbish! Not even a confirmation of reply.
Just thought you might like to know as it's always nice to get some positive feedback!"
