I found that I received nothing but a first class service as a candidate, and from a team of recruiters who really cared about my job search. Excellent agency.

A sadly disappointing experience with the temporary side of this agency where their ethos is that the client is always right, no matter the circumstances. On a good note though, the majority of the team are really lovely people and you will always be greeted with a friendly face - if you're looking for permanent work, you can't go wrong!

I've been using Connect for over 10 years now and I can't recommend them enough. The team are very friendly, pro-active and constantly keep you in the loop as to what's going on. They match your CV and your preferred interests to the job and not put you forward for anything.
Fantastic Recruitment Consultants!

I would give them 0 stars if I could. They will ask you to register when they have no jobs that will be matched to you. You will not find work with them.

My initial experience of Connect was as a candidate, when through them I secured my first role in Design. It seemed only natural when I started my own business some years later that I should approach them to recruit for me. In the years since they have brought on board a host of key people including Designers, Developers and Account Managers. In a business like ours team fit is as vital as skill set, and the small, long-standing team Connect have developed a depth of understanding such that I trust them implicitly to provide us with the right people, time and again.
