I was approached by Electus a while back for a role which I initially thought was out of my scope however I was encouraged to put myself forward for it of which I duly did. I didn't hear anything back for a while so assumed I hadn't been successful however Katherine contacted me to say they wanted to have an informal chat. I was then invited to attend an interview which resulted in me being offered a role doing something of which I didn't imagine being able to achieve for a while.
Katherine showed great skill from the very start, she ensured I was kept up to date with the whole process and answered

I was very pleased with the effort Tony at Electus put in to assist me in securing a new role recently. Now I have settled in, I can happily say that Tony found a great match for my previous knowledge and experience and I am delighted with my new employer, probably the best organisation I've worked with. Tony was always on hand at important moments and kept me fully informed whilst the recruitment process was underway. Would definitely recommend their services to anyone.

I have worked with Electus Recruitment and the Director, Mark Day, over many years on various contracts. During this period the company has demonstrated that it practices the highest levels of professionalism. Mark and his team have been exceptional in their ability to negotiate and secure contracts with clients. They have shown deep industry and commercial knowledge, coupled with high levels of competency (this was especially true and impressive when handling the complexities of the recent IR35 changes). From my previous and ongoing experience with Electus: If they become an agent for you, or

From start to finish my experience with Electus Recruitment was really great. I was contacted by their recruiter Andrew Little who was clear about the role and gave some good background on the company. Selected for interview and successful with my application. If you want a decent recruitment company getting the right person for the right role at the salary that fits choose Electus
