May & Stephens are a fantastic recruitment agency that really supported me after being made redundant due to Covid-19. Jacky and Molly were always on hand with any questions I had and helped me find a wonderful new role.

May & Stephens have been so far a fantastic agency. I am now in search of a new job after redundancy. Jen Todd has really looked after me through out the whole process. Still looking for the perfect position, but as a agency best one I've been with. Thank you for constantly looking out for new opportunities, listening to my needs, and helping to secure that job!

Having been made redundant it was time for me to look for a new role, I had never used an agency before so didn't know what to expect. I can honestly say this agency is brilliant, I was greeted by both Rosie and Georgia who explained temp and perm opportunities and i found them extremely helpful and warm. I am looking forward to Rosie finding my next perm role and have already had my CV sent to clients. In the meantime Georgia has put me into a temp booking which is amazing. All in all Brilliant service.

Absolutely terrific recruitment agency, offering a lot of support to jobseekers. They work with a leading luxury retail companies. They work very hard to prepare candidates for successful interviews. I highly recommend this agency, I really enjoyed working for them. Also they pay on time, and after completing temporary employment, they pay equivalent for holiday days employee did not use. Taxes sorted, very legit- Love that! This agency offers temporary and permanent jobs.

After dealing with Arjun and David from May & Stephens for a number of months during my job search i could not be more appreciative, and complimentary. They are not only dedicated professionals with extensive knowledge of the industry they are recruiting for (which they are happy to
share), but they are genuinely passionate about finding a job that suits you as an individual. I couldn't imagine a better guidance process from the transition of finishing university to securing a dream graduate job. Constantly going above and beyond, and overall a hugely positive experience, i will certainly get
