Have to say Frank at Testudo Recruitment is the best recruiter I have ever dealt with. Normally I dread contacting recruiters because of apprehension about someone trying to sell me a role I know is not best for me. Frank takes a firm interest in understanding you as a candidate and finding the right role for you, then helps coach you for the opportunity. Very happy with where Im now working, but will certainly use Frank again in the future when it is time to move on.

Francis Hill was fantastic from start to end! Very professional, was always at the end of the phone if I had any questions and just an all round nice guy to talk too. You'd be very fortunate to have him help you out.

Francis has been excellent to work with, he is knowedledgable in the property and facilities industries, and is also encouraging which I feel I needed. He really takes the time and effort to listen to you to find the perfect role. He guided me and helped prepare for interviews and justified why I was a good fit. If I ever need another job he is the first person I'm going to.

I can't recommend Francis highly enough he is by far and away the best recruiter I have come across! He helped me get a job within 2 weeks of my first phone call with him. He provided me with resources that helped gain a greater insight into the area I wanted to go into. I was prepared for interviews and provided an approachable but professional service. Which in turn made the interview easier as I knew a lot about the job I was applying for. When you work with Francis you also have his personal number and he has maintained regular contact with you which makes it easy for you to communicate
