Testimonals

Don't take our word for the quality service we provide - read what our candidates and clients have to say about the service they have received:

Clients

 

'Having not used a recruitment agency before, we contacted several, Bianca from Appointments Personnel took the time to visit ARC iT to see how we worked and to understand our business. This gave Appointments Personnel the edge when looking for the additional member of staff we required. Bianca vetted all the candidates and matched up our requirements, finding the perfect candidate for ARC iT.  I would certainly recommend any company to use Appointments Personnel and I have found their service to be efficient so far. The amount of time we saved going through CV's and the way that Appointments Personnel interview the client before hand is fantastic.'

ARC iT

'I wanted to say how happy I am with your services to date, you provided staff for our new direct team here in Burslem. All staff are showing great eagerness in learning about our department and company as a whole, their time keeping and attitude to work are fantastic. I feel your contribution in this is excellent, ensuring that all staff are settled and reviewing regularly their progress.  I find all your staff professional and  they assist with all questions or queries I have had. I look forward to working with you again in the future.'

The Co-operative Travel Group

'We use Appointments Personnel to assist us in the recruitment of our staff.  They successfully have placed several key members of our team and Ange Hopwood, who is the account manager has a good understanding of our needs. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to either anyone looking for work or recruiting staff.'

Stoke on Trent College

'We have regularly used the services of Appointments Personnel for over 8 years, for our staff requirements covering north & south Staffordshire. Both have a good understanding of the sort of staff we require and always provide us with good quality skilled people that meet our expectations. Because of the nature of our business we often need staff at short notice Ange is able to meet this. I would definitely recommend the Appointments agency.'

Staffordshire Probation

'Appointments Personnel provide temporary staff to our company.  We usually need someone at quite short notice to work on a casual part time basis to assist us with workload.  Ange Hopwood has a good understanding of our office and the sort of person we require. We have been lucky to be able to request the same person to come back to us when possible which has helped us enormously. Just over 3 years ago Appointments assisted me in finding a job at my current employer, where I have since progressed. I feel positive about recommending their services to both job seekers and employers looking for staff.'

Lifeways Community Care

'I have worked with Lisa Birch for several months when requiring temporary staff within my department.  I have dealt with Lisa in her previous company and now within Appointments Personnel.  Lisa is efficient and we have built up a good working relationship.  The majority of staff who have been placed within my department have been successful and some have gone on to work in permanent positions.  I would recommend Lisa on a professional basis if someone was looking to use a Recruitment Agency.'

The Co-operative

'Having not dealt with Appointments Personnel previously, I was unsure as to how things would work out when a vacancy became available at our office.  It soon became obvious though that I shouldn't have worried!  Kate soon matched up our requirements with a very suitable candidate who fits into the company "like a glove".  I would certainly recommend any company to use Appointments Personnel and I have found their service to be very efficient - they certainly saved us time wading through applications and the interviewing process! Thanks again for all your help.'

BRB Independent

'I would just like to say how well the agency guys have done over the last 2 weeks. They have been thrown in at the deep end so to speak by working on Registrations which is one of our most difficult work types, both to learn and to process, which was made harder by them also never seeing the systems before. They have picked this up very well and are now processing these tasks to a high standard and quantity. During the training they were all eager to learn new things and always asked questions when needed which is always good for us. They were enthusiastic and remained upbeat during the legislative training at the beginning. Overall it has been a pleasure working with them! Cheers.'

Britannia

'I would like to thank the team at Appointments Personnel for their great service and support in finding us an excellent placement in such a short timescale, it really did allow us to maintain our training course programme. If we are ever in the same position again I shall have no hesitation in contacting you. Once again thank you.'

Staffordshire Borough Council

' I would like to express my thanks to Ange Hopwood for her continued efforts on our behalf. I have had 2 new temporary members of staff start in my team today. Initial first impressions are that Ange has worked hard & considered our environment and the skills & experience we need. Both candidates had a good understanding of the role they have come to do and seemed very pleasant and capable. The recruitment process we have to follow is often complex and it helps us enormously using an agency like Appointments Personnel'

Candidates

'I can't thank you enough for providing me with this opportunity.  Your service is second to none!  You have provided a professional service with a personal touch and I can't believe how promptly you got me a job.  I have registered with other agencies in the past that have basically made little attempt to keep me updated on roles.  Since coming to your agency 3 weeks ago you have managed to find the perfect job role to suit my skills.  I am eternally grateful to your team, especially Bianca, who has provided an efficient, professional and friendly service.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Appointments Personnel to family and friends in the future. Thanks again for all of your support.'

Tina Brassington- Temporary candidate

'I registered with Appointments Personnel in December and was interviewed by Ange Hopwood. I had recently been made redundant and my confidence was low. I immediately felt at ease and Ange seemed to understand what I was looking for. As I had been applying without much luck for lots of jobs I wasn't sure if they could help me. However within 2 days I got an interview for a part time position where I subsequently got the job. I am very happy with the assignment and the service I have had from Ange at Appointments and will definitely recommend them to other people.'

Amanda Hughes-Temporary candidate

'I initially temped through Appointments Personnel during holidays from University and since graduating have continued to work for them to further my experience & skills whilst applying for graduate jobs. My contact is Ange Hopwood and she has been able to find me interesting assignments in locations easy to get to from where I live. If I ever have any enquiries she has always been helpful and dealt with it straight away. I would recommend the agency.'

Jon Parton- Temporary candidate           

'I would have no hesitation in recommending Appointments Personnel to any my friends, as this is by far the best Agency I have ever worked for, and I have worked for quite a few.  I feel that you provided me with a very personal service, and were the only agency to take me on 'face value'. I feel that you went out of your way to help me, and did for me everything that you possibly could, which I am extremely grateful for. I trust that you have no regrets whatsoever taking me on as a valued member of your staff, as I am fully aware that each placement has spoken very highly of me and my standard of work.  I always take a flexible and enthusiastic approach to my work, and hope to gain permanent employment with your company in the very near future. I will never forget the confidence and support that you personally gave to me, when my self esteem was at an extreme low, and I personally wish to thank you for all your time and efforts spent recruiting me. I would give you 10 out of 10 for your expertise and support.'

Lisa Webb-Temporary candidate

'After working for one employer for over 30 years, my daughter recommended I join Appointments Personnel to assist in my search for part time work, she had previously worked for them and had been pleased with the service she had received. I initially met with Ange Hopwood who listened to my requirements and seemed to have a good understanding of what I was looking for. Within a week of being interviewed I was offered a temporary placement at Stoke on Trent College with hours to suit me. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone else looking for work.'

Gill Maddock-Temporary Candidate

'I visited Appointments Personnel to register, and just one week later, they had a long-term temporary assignment for me. They were very quick and thorough with their tests in order to ensure that the fit was right. They have kept in constant touch with me and have always been at the end of the telephone if I should have a problem. I would highly recommend Appointments Personnel to anyone who is seeking either temporary or permanent employment.'

Julie Cadman - Temporary candidate

'Thank you for all of your help with my new role at Co op Travel. Since speaking to you on the telephone, the day I applied for the position, you have been really supportive and have kept me informed throughout the process. If I had any questions you were there to answer them for me straight away, if you didn't know the answers you found out for me and got back to me within minutes. I am very grateful for all the work you have done for me. Thanks again'

Amy Sadler- Permanent candidate

'I went to P4U today and everything went really good, very nice environment and nice people. Thank you ever so much for finding me a job so fast. I was a bit worried for the past 2 weeks without work. The lady who was training me said that I'm catching up quickly. I appreciate that you have paid my holidays even without my notification, it helped me a lot in this difficult situation. I must say that out of all the agencies I've registered with, Appointment Personal is the best! Because you really are. Once again thank you very much.'

Peshala Aravinda- Temporary candidate

'I have worked for Appointments Personnel doing temporary assignments for a number of years and they have never let me down.  During the years, Ange has got to know me and knows what kind of role I thrive in and therefore I have never worked in a position I haven't enjoyed.  Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff at Appointments and you never feel as though you are wasting their time.  Their priority is helping the candidate and the client find their match and they have done this for me every time.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Appointments Personnel to either a candidate or client. Thanks for all your help and support.  Keep up the good work!!'

 Zoe Barnes- Temporary candidate

'Appointments Personnel contacted me immediately after I sent my CV via email, informing me of their interview stages. The very next day I was in the office chatting about the job with JackpotJoy.com and it went from there. Within a few days I was working at JackpotJoy.com and I haven't looked back, I absolutely love my new job and can see myself here for a long time. A HUGE thank you to Appointments Personnel for giving me the opportunity to get the job that I have looked for all these years, where I can have fun whilst working in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks Very much.'
