    <message>Beth,

Hi hope your holiday went well, I didn&#8217;t get the chance before and I don&#8217;t know your managers name or email address so please forward this on, but I would just like to say a massive thank you for all of your time and support whilst finding me a suitable role. You had faith in me when I needed it and I am now in a fantastic job that was just made for me. I had an excellent impression of Charterhouse when initially registering with you and the constant (not false) and honest contact made me have faith in you especially when other agencies hadn&#8217;t bothered calling me.
 
You are an excellent representative for Charterhouse and this has shown in comments to my company about you for future staff. I really hope you do well and that many other people will be helped in their life like you helped me.
 
Keep up the good work, thanks again

Daniella

    <message>Dear Andy,

May I take this opportunity to thank you for the courteous and professional manner in which you handled our recent recruitment requirement.

In my experience it is quite unusual to find a consultant who actually listens to and understands the brief and provides candidates that actually meet it.

I look forward to working with you in the future when we hopefully have additional staffing requirements.

Thanks,

    <message>"Tania was thoroughly professional in her approach when I contacted her to source alternative employment for me.

Tania's demeanour was outstanding and she shone out, well above others.

Always returning calls, I was always kept in the picture about roles she felt I would excel in and roles which she didn't think I would be challenged enough. 

I have no hesitation in recommending Tania and have no hesitation in approaching her again for myself or when I am sourcing future candidates for any companies I am involved in."

    <message>Donna,

Thanks for all your help setting up this position for me &#8211; out of the few agencies I signed up with you were, by far, the most active on my behalf with roles that were actually suitable for me. If I require future help finding a new position I&#8217;ll definitely be back in touch (and would have no problem recommending Charterhouse to others).

Many thanks,

    <message>&#8220;I had been trying to recruit for a relatively new role and was having no success until I used Charterhouse. What I liked about Tania was the fact that initially she spent time talking to me just to understand the role before she started to discuss the types of candidates I was looking for. By doing this she was able to make suggestions about the skills the right candidate should have and even came up with types of people I perhaps would not have thought about seeing. When she sent CVs for me to review she had clearly listened to my brief which is so important and was keen to get my thoughts on whether they were suitable. 

I was very impressed that Tania always took on board any feedback I had about the candidates and this was reflected when she put forward new candidates. Tania showed a real enthusiasm for finding the right person for my role and was always positive whenever I spoke to her. I think what I liked the most was the fact that it wasn&#8217;t just a normal recruitment agent service but that it was a partnership between Charterhouse and me to find the right candidate. Throughout the process I knew that Tania would be there not only to facilitate that but also to give me advice and support in the recruitment. I will definitely use Charterhouse again &#8211; thanks Tania!&#8221;

Have a great weekend!

I would just like to express a personal thank you to you and Vikki as you have been amongst the small number of consultants who have looked after me the best, I can honestly say I will recomend you to friends etc and would certainly contact you myself if the need arose in the future.

    <message>I would like to thank everyone at Charterhouse Recruitment especially Beth and Tania, both of them have helped me get through redundancy with ease. Right from registration they offered honest and helpful advice to ensure that potential employers could see what I had to offer.

They maintained regular contact, kept me informed, helped me with interview preparation and my CV and most of all they believed in me throughout a difficult period.

I would definitely recommend Charterhouse Recruitment to friends and anyone who deals with recruitment throughout their working day, they are professional, friendly and take great pride in what they do at candidate and client levels.

In the space of week I had registered, gained two interviews and obtained a job offer for a vacancy that I know will be perfect for me.

I cannot thank the ladies I dealt with enough for all their help and I will be appreciative for years to come.

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for firstly finding my details and a job to suit and secondly for the help and support given, I would also like to thank Emma who took your place whilst you were on holiday.

My experience of the service received at Charterhouse was friendly approachable and efficient, not once was I left waiting for an answer, the service I received was exceptional and I have already passed your details on to a former colleague and would not hesitate to do so again.

Once more I would just like to say thank you for making a difficult and stressful time of my life somewhat easier.

    <message>Hi Donna
 
I didn't really get chance to thank you properly last night for securing me this role and answering my numerous emails and questions. Out of the consultants from the three firms I have dealt with you have been very helpful and honest with me all the time and I'd like to thank you for that.
 
Hopefully next time we speak professionally will be a bit further down the line and I will have used this opportunity to get myself qualified or near as possible.

    <message>Hi Beth, just a quick update. I&#8217;ve had my review and I&#8217;m now officially a permanent member here as I had my review last week and I&#8217;ve accepted their offer of employment and just wanted you to know I&#8217;m doing well. 
Thanks for everything that you have done for me, and helping me find employment in the office role that best suited me. The role I&#8217;m in now isn&#8217;t a simple assistant role which I thought it would have been. I&#8217;m taking on everything that the company has to offer to me and its opened many doors for me within the company. 

Once again a big thank you for everything that you have done for me and helped me get placed quickly in employment that I wanted to go into. 

I will without a doubt, if I needed to, use charterhouse again as a agency as out of the few agencies that I am aware of you are the only one that kept me informed about everything and did your upmost in getting the employment I wanted. I will recommend you if any of my friends or relatives are looking for new work in office based environment as you provided a quick, free, fully fledged service to me and appreciate I was treated as a person and not just a statistic.

    <message>I have found Charterhouse Recruitment to be extremely helpful with regard to sourcing employment. 
Their consultants are intelligent, highly motivated and very pro-active. 
They get to know you as an individual, not just as a candidate, thereby enabling them to find the most suitable role for the person concerned. 
I cannot fault their communication or understanding. A truly first class service whom I would be happy to recommend to anyone seeking employment within the secretarial/administration field.</message>

    <message>Hi Donna,

Hope you are well. I Just want to inform that I have completed my ACCA exams and have just recently received full membership status. I would also like thank you for the immense effort you put into getting me my current job. I am almost four months in my new role and everything is going well so far.  I must add that I was very impressed with how you handled the entire process from the point of my registration to this very day. You managed to swiftly identify roles that were relevant to my needs with alarming speed and accuracy. I have never experienced such high levels of service and commitment from any other employment agency, you are indeed second to none.  Your occasional calls to ascertain whether I am comfortable in my new role is quite refreshing since it suggests you are always looking to achieve what is best for your clients.

What struck me as being really amazing was how Charterhouse record it&#8217;s information about those they are trying to help with alternative employment. This thought came about as I remember calling for you during your absence and to my surprise the lady who took the call on your behalf knew so much about my case that she was able to assist me with all the necessary information without faltering.

You and your team epitomize the true nature of professionalism, efficiency, and effectiveness. As a result of my experience with you, I will pledge my support by using Charterhouse as my primary source when seeking employment  or seeking to recruit staff.

Once again I offer my thanks for the wonderful work you have done.</message>

    <message>I recently had dealings with Ashley with regards to a vacancy that become available in my local area as an Accounts Payable Manager. 

The company clearly wanted to fill the vacancy fairly quickly but were looking for an individual that could move them forward after several acquisitions. 

Ashley ensured he was fully versed with all the facets of the role and had a good knowledge of the business, therefore I found him very informative. 

This subsequently helped me in my decision making process. 

Ashley was professional and also very encouraging without being overpowering. He was extremely prompt in exchanging information and kept me fully informed every step of the way. 

Ashley was a pleasure to deal with and I will most certainly be going back to him when I require candidates in the future.</message>

    <message>My experience with Charterhouse Recruitment has been brilliant. I had my reservations about recruitment agencies but they dispelled them all!

When I first met with Charterhouse they listened to what I had to say and now I have the job I wanted. Regular calls from Tania showed me that Charterhouse cared about my progress and were always ready to help. For me, this was paramount!

I found Charterhouse were much more than a recruitment agency. Tania might as well be my PA! Her help from the start to end of the job hunting process was excellent. I always felt confident that they would find me the position I was looking for and I was right!

When I came to CHR I gave them the salary I was looking for; Tania got me one that was nearly double!

I'd fully recommend CHR to anyone searching for employment. They made me feel comfortable and really listened to what I had to say. Most importantly though they found me exactly what I was looking for.</message>

    <message>I would like to say a big thank you to Charterhouse Recruitment, and especially Tania and Jonathan!!!

I was dealt a blow in my current role, when we were told that we were going to be made redundant by the end of November

I had been given Charterhouse Recruitment's details by a colleague at my work place.

I e-mailed my CV to them on Tuesday 30th October, I received a call from them on Wednesday 31st October and arranged to see them on Thursday 1st November. Tania arranged for me to have an interview on the Thursday afternoon, and by Thursday evening I had been offered a job!! 

WOW!! Now that's what I call a speedy service!! 

Charterhouse Recruitment, is a friendly and welcoming place, and I wasn't made to feel uncomfortable at any time.

I have friends who will be affected by the redundancy package at my current place of work and I shall be recommending Charterhouse to them. 

Thank you again, all of you!!</message>

    <message>Thank you so much for all your recent efforts in my search for a new position.  Charterhouse have been tremendous to deal with and have really impressed me with your professional, unselfish and honest approach.

Your guidance has really helped me make a final decision with regards to the best way forward at this time.

Additionally, it has been important to me that I could contact you beyond the hours of 9 - 5 and that you were willing to contact me by email and text message was brilliant! - as it's not always possible to take telephone calls.</message>

    <message>I would just like to say a massive thank you to Beth, for all of your time and support while finding me a suitable role. You had faith in me when I needed it and I am now in a fantastic job that was made for me. I had an excellent impression of Charterhouse when initially registering and the constant and honest contact made me have faith in you especially when other agencies hadn't bothered calling.

You are an excellent representative for Charterhouse and this has shown in comments to my company (ICM) about your agency for future staff. I really hope you do well and that many other people will be helped with their life like you helped me.

Keep up the good work, thanks again.</message>

    <message>I contacted Charterhouse Recruitment 6 months ago in order to find a new position for myself.  My main point of contact was Tania Garstang who was extremely helpful and punctual in responding to any queries I had and also contacting me with details of positions which may have been of relevance to me.

My whole experience with Charterhouse was extremely positive and I would recommend them to both colleagues and friends requiring recruitment services.</message>

    <message>I wanted to thank you for all you have done over the last two weeks. My experience at Charterhouse has been different from my experience with other agencies. Firstly, it was made clear from the beginning what the current employment situation was in Leeds for the kind of positions I was seeking.

Secondly, I was never promised anything that the agency was not able to guarantee!

Thirdly, I have always felt in the past that when dealing with an agency, the primary purpose was the ability of the agency to earn commission on a job or temporary placement. While I respect that this is necessary from a business perspective, after speaking to you I felt that someone was actually listening to what I wanted and needed from a career and a personal point of view - and was able to give constructive feedback on my aspirations and employment possibilities. Finally, when it came to the actual interview process, you were available and supportive from the beginning, right down to the job offer. It was an overwhelming, positive experience dealing with you and Charterhouse. I would like to wish you and Charterhouse the very best for the future. </message>

    <message>Just wanted to drop a quick line to thank Charterhouse for all their hard work in helping me to find my new job.

It was quite a worrying time leading up to Christmas after finding out my job had become redundant and Tania did a fantastic job in helping with the search for a new role. She came across as friendly and professional at all times and should any of my friends/colleagues find themselves in the same situation as me, I wouldn't think twice about recommending her and Charterhouse.</message>

    <message>Thanks for all your help Beth over the last week, you truly have been a star!!!!  Its been a whirlwind of a week, its all happened so fast and all thanks to your efficiency!

Charterhouse was recommened to me by my friend, Diane, who had been made redundant last year. She had dealt with your York office and had told me about your company and how helpful they had been to her.

I would without any hesitation recommend Charterhouse to anyone I know - hopefully (fingers crossed!) I wont personally have any need for you again as you have found a fantastic role for me which I hope I will be in for a long time to come!</message>

    <message>I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Tania for getting me this job, I love it. 

Tania gave me excellent advice with regards to interviewing and appearing professional while still letting me shine through. 

After the first interview that Tania set up for me, I got a phone call within 2 hours to say that I had got the job! Tania has a skill of matching the right person to the right job and without her knowledge and expertise I would not be here in this fantastic job. 

Once again a massive thumbs up and thanks. </message>
