Reviews

From client, filled vacancies

I was impressed with Zak from the start of our relationship. He provided dedicated time in listening to what I needed from the ideal candidate. Having regular open conversations.

He showed a high level of knowledge about the industry and used this to secure a contract that matched my needs. He provided advice which helped me through the placement process.

Once the candidate was placed, I was impressed with the high level of support he provided myself, as well as the support he provided to the candidate. This ensured a great experience for all.

Paula, Change Lead, Retail & Consumer Goods in London

From client, interviewed potential candidates

It’s been a pleasure working with Zak and his colleagues. Throughout the multiple processes we have engaged them for, they’ve been highly professional, communicative, and well-organised, making what can often be a complex process feel smooth and straightforward.

They took the time to really understand our needs, ensuring candidates were well-aligned not just on skills, but also on team fit. Zak's proactive approach and attention to detail made a noticeable difference, and he has always been responsive and easy to work with.

Zak has consistently delivered a number of high-quality candidates within tight timeframes, demonstrating a strong understanding of our needs and priorities. Their ability to manage clear, effective two-way communication—both with us and with candidates—has been particularly valuable, ensuring alignment and a positive experience for everyone involved.

From client, filled vacancies

Zak has been excellent throughout the process. After some initial challenges with the first candidates provided, I was particularly impressed with how Zak refined the search and worked hard to find the right candidate for the particular role that we were recruiting for. Thank you Zak!

Zak was my agent for just under 4 years. Communication channels were always open. Zak builds a great rapport and he his very professional and I look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks for everything Zak!

Julie Campbell, Senior Delivery Manager, Logistics & Transportation in Manchester

From candidate, placed in role

Zak was the recruitment consultant who helped secure my most recent contract, in all honesty he is the first consultant I have felt I wanted to recommend having been contracting for over 10 years.

He kept me informed throughout the recruitment process, he kept in touch when some problems were encountered during that process so I always knew what was happening, without having to chase for updates (in my experience this isn't common).

On top of this he also took the time to build a relationship with me that wasn't just about the role or how he could leverage what I knew whilst in the role into the next sell to the client, all of which made him different to most of the consultants I have dealt with over the years.

The whole experience was a pleasure and I would recommend his service to anyone looking to secure their next role

DC, Business Analyst, Banking & Financial Services in Yorkshire

From candidate, placed in role

I've been privileged to have Zak as part of my Network for a number of Years now, and have been placed through him on numerous roles over that time. He is friendly, professional and one of the best Recruitment Consultants I have ever worked through in 28 years of Contracting.

Zak treats his Contractors in the same way that he treats his Clients, and cares about making sure any opportunity is a good cultural fit for both parties, not just a case of attempting to fit square pegs into round holes for the sake of filling a vacancy. You will get an honest and thoroughly Professional service with Zak - and I look forward to successfully working with him to secure contracting Roles in the future

I have had an excellent experience working with Zak. He has been a clear and consistent communicator, checking in regularly and keeping me well informed at every stage of the process. He made the administrative side of things straightforward and stress-free, handling details efficiently and proactively. Whenever any issues arose, he addressed them swiftly and effectively. Overall, his professionalism, responsiveness, and support made the entire experience smooth and positive, and I would highly recommend him.

From candidate, placed in role

Having contracted for 14 years, I have plenty of experience working with recruiters and can strongly recommend Zak. Very professional, personable and straightforward to work with. I have a very short list of recruiters I use and recommend to my friends and Zak is on the list. I can't give any higher recommendation than that.

Matthew Stephenson, Business Analyst, Consulting in West Yorkshire

From candidate, placed in role

Zak is an excellent recruitment consultant and all round awesome guy. I had the pleasure of working with him when he found me a contract with a great team of people at a start-up bank. Zak is highly professional and stayed in touch throughout the assignment showing a genuine interest in the project and how it was progressing. I imagine that he’s just as excellent in his dealings with clients as he is with candidates. I would be very happy to work with him again on future projects.

Eddie White, IT Consultant, Banking & Financial Services in United Kingdom

Zac has been extremely supportive from the onset of my placement. It has been the most amazing experience, he has responded quickly to any concerns that I have had and we have had regular reviews. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with him and the agency. It has been the best experience I have had with an agency.

His communication was consistently clear and timely, and I always felt fully informed at every stage of the recruitment process and throughout my assignment.

Zak is a standout recruitment professional, and I am genuinely grateful for his support. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a recruiter who delivers with integrity, efficiency, and a personal touch.
