MY PROMISE OF SERVICE TO YOU

Making promises is easy but I believe that any promise should be backed up by a firm guarantee, so here's mine.

1. We use a Matching Grid to show suitability on keys to hire

2. Transparency of the positive and negatives on each candidate

3. Accuracy of key data such as salary, benefits, packages and reasons of leaving

4. Do what we say by when we say we’ll do it

5. Make sure the candidate matches their CV

6. Ensure the candidate is fully briefed before an interview

Should I break any of these promises I will give you a 25% discount on the fees we have agreed if you feel it appropriate. No quibbles; no doubt.

Testimonials

With almost two decades under our belts, we're extremely proud of the level of service we bring to every search. Check out our latest testimonials from recent clients and candidates we've worked with. 

Emma has worked tirelessly finding brilliant candidates time after time. We're on 8 employed already and I can't thank her enough for her efforts. Superb communication and excellent assessment of the company's needs as well as the candidates she places for an interview too.


Jon Hall, Managing Director - Roche NDT services

Friendly, fast and efficient consultant, nothing too much trouble, all questions answered quickly and efficiently, great communication, especially Sharon Pickering.

Candidate Nick

“Having not previously worked in recruitment, Precision Academy has been seamlessly paving the way for me to transition into a full 360 recruitment role through a well-thought-out, step-by-step approach. In addition to receiving one-to-one training support on a daily basis through on-the-job learning, we also have assigned days that we spend studying industry best practices with a recruitment specialist in an interactive, classroom-style, learning approach. Having been in training for just over 2 months, I have already made a number of successful candidate placements, have a growing client base of my own, and am now being supported by management in carving out my niche area of recruitment expertise. Overall, I really admire Precision's values and how we are encouraged to never compromise on integrity or quality in business.”


Vanessa - Trainee Recruitment Consultant


“We have used Precision Recruitment as a 3rd party provider of suitably qualified technical staff who can be readily available to fill the gaps and also

full-time positions. Without this, the hospitals where they lose engineering managers and staff for prolonged periods (and struggle to recruit) more often fail to maintain their engineering and buildings assurance obligations and introduce operational risk. This has assisted us in the successful recruitment of engineering managers and engineers at: Manchester, Leicester, Parkway, Montefiore. With other sites seeking support.”

 “We're hoping to raise lots of money by consultants choosing to donate £10 for candidates they place in a new permanent job, plus also getting involved in extra fundraising days throughout the year.”


Jo Walker, Marketing Director


 “We’re delighted that Precision Recruitment has chosen to support Rainbows and we are looking forward to working with the wider team. With receive limited funding each year so we rely heavily on supporters like Precision, who help make sure that Rainbows can continue to be here providing vital support for life-limited babies, children, young people and their families across the East Midlands.”


Fiona Carlisle, Corporate Partnership Fundraiser

We’ve never been that impressed with recruitment agencies in the past, but with Scott from Precision People we have found him to be invaluable when supplying us with skilled temporary engineering contractors, for projects at our workshop and also onsite customer contracts around the UK


Paul Wright, Director - Silo Services Ltd

Excellent from start to finish. The consultant was experienced and had clearly read my CV thoroughly before approaching me with the vacancy. The role was relevant to my experience and ultimately this led to an interview with their client. After placing my CV back online I have been approached by quite a number of agencies who either fail to follow through after initial contact or simply offer substandard service. I felt these guys actually applied some thought to the process and offered a higher level of service.

Candidate Shaun

I have worked with Phil Walker and Precision for over 5 years, both as a candidate for a Managing Directors position, and as a recruitment agency supplying suitable candidates for senior positions. Phil operates an extremely professional and competent recruitment company, who have always supplied extremely good candidates for all the positions that we have had available in our organisation. Phil himself has a great deal of Engineering knowledge, which is unique in the recruitment arena, as a result he can quickly identify if the person would be suitable for the role.


Duncan Morris, Operations Director - Aerospace Components

Was contacted by Precision ref a job that suited my experience. Then was put in touch with the employer. From that point on the service first class. Always followed up on all aspects of the interviews and feedback very good service and I would highly recommend Precision People Recruitment Consultancy.
