I have been using Absolute Personnel for almost 2 years with a local employer. Throughout that time they have been professional and dilligent with all aspects of administering my contract and supporting me. Even whilst working remotely, their communication has been very good. Would recommend.

Kept applying for different roles on their website for over a month and if I didnt switch to another agency I would have still been unemployed to this day. Absolutely shocking agency and a complete waste of time. Would not recommend.

I have used several agencies during my job hunts and Absolute Personnel is the agency that not only works for me, but that truly stands out. They genuinely care for the job seekers. All phone calls placed and emails I have sent have been attended to promptly. Absolute Personnel has so far found me 3 temp jobs and they have found companies that fit me not only professionally but also personally. They look for companies where my personality and knowledge are the perfect match. They have now started to search for a permanent job for me. Special thanks go to Jess and Kirstie. You both are super stars

Brilliant agency, find you work that you are suited for and enjoy, rather than just any job going. They care as much for their workers as they do for clients. Head and shoulders above most recruitment agencies
