I found our consultant to be honest and had our best interest at heart. She understood the difficulties we have had in the past with this particular role and did everything she could to guide me through. Working in a cutthroat, fast-paced and stressful Industry that relies on quality information/data for open/close jobs it is quite frustrating having to chase for answers and information.

“Our consultant has excellent communication skills and has talked with me at length to understand the requirements of this position. She has understood what we are looking for from the start and takes feedback well. She’s a real people person, not pushy at all compared to other recruitment companies. It’s clear that although you (TRA) don’t meet your candidates face to face that vigorous & relevant work-related questions are asked. Overall when it comes to the “bounty level” (fee for candidate) it helps that you have a fixed rate and you aren’t charging 10’s of thousands like other agencies yet your service is so high. I will be using The Recruitment Alternative again it’s been a really good experience.”

Gerard Sanders (Director) Sherborne Packaging Ltd

“At first I was a bit apprehensive about using The Recruitment Alternative to find some key staff for our business because their fees were “too good to be true”. However, I decided to try them out because I had used some other recruitment agencies in the past but found their fees to be excessive and they were too slow to respond. Some of them made a lot of promises and gave the impression that they had a large list of candidates suitable for our requirements, only to find out later that this was not true.
As soon as I signed on the dotted line, The Campaign Manager got to work and the first thing they did was to understand our business and the skills we expected from the person we were looking for. In less than two days I interviewed several candidates and found two people to fill positions within our organization. Within two weeks we had them on board without any hassles. I found the Campaign Manager to be very well trained, motivated and their attention to detail amazing! I would not hesitate to recommend The Recruitment Alternative to any organization that is looking for good employees in a short time with minimal fees.
Thank you to The Recruitment Alternative for making my life a lot easier!”

“When The Recruitment Alternative approached me, I had avoided using a recruitment agency for 20 years due to a bad experience with an agency I trusted. Art of Multimedia has great staff longevity, and I was convinced that unless I was always hiring, I wasn’t going to find a company who would really care for finding me the right team members, so people with the right creative and technical skills, but also fit our culture.
The Recruitment Alternative, however, convinced me to give them a try and I’m so glad I did! Not only are they really affordable, their service levels are excellent and Michael is available to help even when I’m not recruiting. They’ve done our recruiting for 4 years now and have successfully placed roles from Digital Designers to PR Managers to office admin roles.”
