Select appointments are lucky to have senior consultant Emma who has not only found me positions but also recruited into companies that I have worked for. Her professionalism, speed and efficiency is second to none. Shes a clear communicator and has an amazing empathy for candidates and professionalism with clients. This is the only recruitment agency I have ever found that delivers against their word and respects candidates and clients. Because of Emma, my experience with Select has been exceptional over the last 10 years.

The ladies at Select are bloody brilliant. I've never been out of work since the moment I signed up with them. They're never more than a phone call away to help with any issue. I've had varied assignments over the last 3 years that have given me varied and valued experience and I honestly can't thank them enough. Special shout out to Katie and Beth who've always gone above and beyond to find me work that best suits my skills!! Highly recommended from me!

Professionalism, transparency, capability to listen to one's needs and willing to go the extra mile are just some of the skills that Emma has and works with every day. This should be the standard for recruiters, care for companies, but also care for potential candidates and Emma manages to reconcile them both brilliantly. Select is lucky to have such an employee.

I cant thank Emma enough for all of the help and advice she has given me over the years. She has always really listened to my requirements, but best of all she has taken the time to get to know me as a person, so she can match me perfectly to the right companies.

Well what can i say, Lucy Stebbings at Select Appointments is truly an asset to her Company, from initial contact of job offer to my acceptance of the position on offer the process was totally flawless. Lucy's involvement from start to finish in keeping me informed every step of the way was superb, i have had my CV out to other well known recruiters who i have to say were not a patch on Lucy / Select Appointments standards. I would recommend Lucy and Select Appointments to anyone who asks. Well done.
