Client Testimonials

"I have found all of the staff at one to one personnel very helpful and informative, and I have been able to talk freely to them about any issues and have always been extremely satisfied with the response they give.
They have always managed to fill places for me even at short notice on the weekend and have kept in close contact with my management team to ensure that things are running ok.
I have used an number of agencies over the years and there are not many that I would recommend but I have to say that One to One are the most professional agency I have used for years and would recommend them to any organisation."

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank One to One Personnel for their excellent service.
From the speed of response to our initial inquiry through to the provision of a capable and reliable member of the team we have found One to One very helpful and efficient.
The sales manager who came to our office was extremely professional yet friendly and sociable. She was able to quickly provide us with a new member of staff who met our requirements.
Our dealings with various members of the One to One team have been similarly positive and productive.
We would have no hesitation in recommending One to One Personnel to any other businesses wanting a simple and effective solution to staffing needs."

Thank you Ian for your continued support, much appreciated."

"I would not hesitate to recommend Ian and One to One Personnel. Ian and his team provide much more that a 'recruitment service'. They take time to understand your business requirements and are creative in the drafting of advertisements to attract the right candidates. They also offer unique payment options and many add-on services.
I am also hoping to work with Ian on other related projects during 2011!"

"Sarah Jane has just been fantastic, she has worked so hard in getting these placements and I must say compared to other recruitment companies I’ve used, its so nice to see someone really working hard for their clients and actually getting a result, and with Sarah Jane she seems to have got two applicants for us, even though we had more than one fall through, she kept going and got the deal.
Cant praise her enough!"

"I am a candidate that is currently on your books and I have been liaising with Sarah Jane in the recruitment office.
Sarah put me forward for a vacancy advertised with your client and I was successfully offered the position. Unfortunately I did not take the position due to personal reasons.
Although I didn't go ahead with the job offer I wanted to make you aware that Sarah Jane has been exceptionally helpful and very understanding throughout this process and has given me exceptional service. She has also kept me updated and has been very contactable throughout.
I feel that Sarah is an excellent member of your team and I will be recommending her to any friends or family who are seeking a new job."

"I have worked with Sophie Wass at One to One Personnel on a number of occasions to source candidates for my employer a large outsourced call centre. Being an outsourced call centre with volume recruitment we are very demanding and Sophie and One to One has always met the challenges face on. They are a pleasure to work with and instills trust and confidence from the first meeting. Sophie is keen to ensure she meets your expectations and takes it personally if she feels she has not delivered. This trait is rare in today’s market and is a credit to her employer.
I would recommend One to One Personnel and Sophie to any business who is wishing to use a recruitment agency; you will not be disappointment by their loyalty and service."

"Having been on 'both sides of the coin' with One to One, I have found the team to be highly professional and understanding of both the client and the candidate.
I first met Ian Banks when I was the Office Manager for a large manufacturing company in Southend. They supplied us with both relief drivers and temporary factory assistants. This could be on extremely short notice, but always the temporary suited the position well.
When the company failed, I decided to send a CV through to Ian and within days he had sourced me my ideal job. He knew that I wanted to work part time, within an accounting position and put me forward to my now employers.
I first worked here through One to One on a 13 week trial basis. This suited both myself and my present employer as it was a newly created position. One to One stayed in close contact with myself and my employer to monitor progress and are still to this day 18 months later in contact with both of us."

"We are a medium sized manufacturing company based in the local area who provide the Telecoms/Datacomms industry with both products and installation services. As such, throughout our 20 years existence we have had requirements for both skilled Technical Engineers and unskilled manufacturing labour together with properly trained clerical staff.
Because we have often found recruitment a very time consuming operation, we would frequently elect recruitment/personnel companies to do the preliminary selection of suitable applicants to apply for these positions and ask them to place both temporary and permanent staff with us on a fairly regular basis.
We have approached many Personnel companies but have found lan Banks and One to One Personnel recruitment agency, to be the most consistent in the quality of their service.
lan Banks and latterly, One to One Personnel, have been providing Mainframe Communications Ltd with both temporary and permanent staff to fill these positions for approx. 8 years, in which time we have always found lan and his team to be highly professional individuals who have taken the time to understand our industry, listen to our requirements and therefore be fully aware of the skills required to provide us with employees who would most suit the position being offered. lan and his team keep regular contact with our company to ensure they are always current with our working practices and requirements. Follow up contact is maintained to ensure that both the placement and Mainframe remain happy with the arrangement and any issues that may arise are always dealt with immediately. Many of our long-term employees were originally recommended by lan Banks or his team.
In summary, we have built up a good professional working relationship with lan and One to One and feel they have a very good understanding of our needs. I value the honesty lan has always demonstrated by choosing not to place someone with us rather than place a candidate he feels does not entirely fit the criteria required or who he feels would not be an asset to our team.
I would be very confident in recommending One to One Personnel to anyone."
