Client Testimonials
I’ve worked with Jay and her team for a number of years on a variety of roles. Recruitment is a crowded market, but quality specialists are rare. As a business we pride ourselves on only recruiting the best talent and she helps us find that. I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Jay and her team to prospective clients.
Hire Society Recruitment are outstanding recruiters who pay close attention to understand our organisation and the type of individuals we require. Hire Society Recruitment are my first port of call when in need of immediate support, and the candidates supplied are always an excellent fit. One member of our staff team was initially placed over 5 years ago Hire Society Recruitment which is a true testament to their success!
It is clear from the time I’ve worked with Hire Society, that their attention to detail is second to none.
Running an international import business is genuinely a 24/7 business. Which means that urgent recruitment requirements do not always get prioritised and put additional pressure in the operation. Furthermore recruitment is not our area of expertise. Jay at HSR understood our requirements immediately and is now regarded as an invaluable partner to our business. We can rely on HSR and this in turn enables us to concentrate on what we are good at. Without Jay and her team we could not function as well as we do and I can not recommend her more strongly to assist with anyone’s HR/recruitment needs.
I was delighted with the service I received from Hire Society Recruitment. They were very quick to understand our needs and presented us with a range of suitable candidates. They were very attentive throughout the process. We were able to recruit and this member of staff has become a valued member of the team.
Hire Society Recruitment is always my ‘go to’. Working with Jay for the past few years has been absolutely amazing – she has never, ever let me down, (even when I needed someone at the last minute). The candidates are always professional, polished and well briefed. I always feel that I am listened to and provided with the best, even when I have a tight budget. There is no hard sell or gimmicks – just straight talking advice and candidates of a high calibre. I highly recommend Hire Society Recruitment and will definitely use them in the future, wherever I go.
I have worked with Jay and her team whilst they assisted in the recruitment of several of our Business Support Assistants. I find the company exceptional. They are always willing to listen to our requirements and recommend candidates to us that are a great fit to each vacancy that we are recruiting. I can highly recommend Hire Society Recruitment as they constantly provide a bespoke service that we will continue to use.
“Supportive and highly professional”
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jay, Nicola and the team @Hire Society Recruitment. They have been so supportive, motivating and highly professional during our collaboration. A very smooth and effortless process. Understand the organisations goals and needs and have successfully found us the right candidates. We have hired a number of candidates who have proved to be a valuable asset to the business. Would not even think twice about recommending to use Hire Society Recruitment they are number one at what they do and always give 101%.
Hire Society Recruitment and Nicola demonstrated the patience and understanding to find the right candidate, and help ensure a successful start and a better fit into the position for the Candidate, the department and the Company. I would definitely use Hire Society’s recruitment services again. Thank you.
I had the pleasure of a seamless recruitment process working with Jay Sullivan from Hire Society. She understood my needs and desires, kept in constant communication with me and ultimately helped me to hire two fantastic candidates in a period of one month and I couldn’t be happier with the new recruits and the honesty, transparency, and support throughout from Jay.
I have personally been working with Hire Society Recruitment ltd since early last year and whilst we get many Recruitment companies approach us for opportunities to source candidates for us, Jay at HSR soft, infectious and confident approach to selling their strengths in their market place became very clear very quickly. They have worked to our process in a professional, non-aggressive way and quickly found us two very important members of both our IT & HR teams amongst other roles.
I look forward to seeing more quality candidates coming through this year. The HSR team have got to know our culture as a business in a very short space of time and feel I can absolutely rely on them already.
