During my job search, Luke M reached out me via Indeed about a local job, and then, afterwards, the recruitment process was led by Alex K. From the get go, they were both personable and professional. By getting to know what I was looking for, answering any queries I had and keeping me informed every step of the way, I was able to secure a position within a week!!! Definitely recommend them! Lovely bunch!

Chris and Charlie in the temporary division are totally fabulous at their jobs. Professional yet very kind, not at all pushy and they work with ones skills set to find the perfect roles for you. I hadn't worked since before the pandemic and these guys gave me the very boost in confidence I needed. Thanks guys you made my returning to work easy.

A massive thank you to Express Recruitment and my main point of contact in the Agency, Chris, who helped me find work twice now with great speed. They've helped me secure interviews and provided advice ahead of time. I'm extremely thankful for them taking care of me after I graduated to find some quality work placements.
