I applied to a role through Buckingham Recruitment and the process could not have been better! They were so helpful and always completely transparent with how the process was going. Everyone there that I spoke with was lovely, and they found me an ideal role which suited my skills. Great people doing a great job.

Buckingham Recruitment are a fantastic company! They were able to find me an amazing permanent opportunity within a week and their customer service is unparalleled. They regularly reached out prior to placing me in a role and have continued to touch base regularly afterwards which is really refreshing, you'll never feel uncatered for. Shoutout to Kate for all her hard work and could not recommend more strongly to anybody looking for new opportunities!

I was sent for an interview by Buckingham but before I heard back I was offered the perfect role elsewhere.
Catherine was fantastic from start to finish, we had a good chat when I signed up and she was always very lovely over the phone/email, communication was consistent and she was never hard to get a reply from. When I let them know I had accepted an offer on another job they congratulated me & even sent me a card in the post! This surprised me as I was really bullied by another recruiter when I turned down a role with them for the same reason, so my faith in recruiters was restored thanks

Ive used Buckingham Recruitment as a both a recruiter and job seeker. In both ways theyve proven to be one of the best agencies in London. What really stands out is their honesty and the reassurance that youve actually been listened to. You do not get bombarded by unsuitable roles or candidates, only those that fit with what youve told them youre looking for. Candidates have relevant experience, those shortlisted are well briefed and present themselves well. Next time Im in the market Ill definitely go to them.

I worked with this agency a few years back as a temp. They were really friendly and placed me quickly, staying in touch regularly. I even got a Christmas card! Nice touch.
