Four have helped us to fill a number of posts in HR and Accounting and every time the service has been personal, swift and given great results. Gemma stays in touch throughout the whole process to make sure you are up to date on progress, and really works to understand your business, culture and what you need. Highly recommended.

I would definitely recommend Four Recruitment for anyone looking for a new role. They are extremely professional and have your best interests at heart. My contact was Rebecca Taylor, and I honestly cannot say enough about how helpful she was during the process of finding a role. Id 100% use Four Recruitment in the future if I ever needed to look for another role.

100% I would recommend Four Recruitment. My contact was Lauren Ellison and she was brilliant from that initial contact. She explained the role perfectly, and supported me through the application/interview process. I successfully got the job I applied for which is great! Lauren was really helpful with her support and advice. She is still in contact with me now, making sure I'm happy and that everything is okay. She really does go above and beyond for her clients. If anyone needs assistance in applying for a new role, I would defiantly suggest Lauren/Four Recruitment.

I would highly recommend this recruitment company. Abbie, the consultant, was on hand to help me throughout the whole process and went above and beyond for me. I cant thank her enough. In the past Ive felt bombarded with communication by recruiters and a bit overwhelmed at times but this wasnt the case with Four Recruitment at all. I was kept updated throughout the recruitment process and I really appreciated it. I got the role I went for but I also felt reassured that if it didnt go my way the recruiter would have helped me find other opportunities. Thank you for everything Four!
