I recently signed up to Express recruitment to help me find some temporary work. I can say that the experience has been superb and I have already recommended them to people I know. They are very thorough, follow up after interviews and are great to work with!

Having never used an agency before, I didn't know what to expect and the responses have been very varied from the companies I have approached. However, Jack Johnson at Express Recruitment went above and beyond to help me. He was friendly, with a 'can do' attitude. He responded promptly, he did what he said he was going to do, including helping me to attend an interview whilst camping on holiday, and I got the job 🙂

Fantastic experience with this recruitment agency. They managed to get me work within a few days of joining. The workplace I was sent to has been fantastic and I have now secured a permanent job here thanks to Express. They were professional and always checked in with me and my line manager to make sure I was okay and settling in well. Nothing but positives to report and I would definitely recommend this agency for anyone looking for work!

Absolutely amazing service from before, during and after. Jack has been outstanding and attentive throughout, he really did his job amazingly a true credit to the team! His managers Alex and Charlie have also been amazing! What I truly liked was the fact the communication was efficient so anyone who I rang and spoke to knew of the situation and where it was currently at, so there was no need for me to explain or repeat myself at any point which is always refreshing. Express recruitment really does live up to the name, 200% recommend!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I applied for a temporary vacancy I had seen on Indeed. A few days later I received a call from the lovely Courtney at Express Recruitment to set up an initial meeting with her. Following this meeting and then a subsequent interview with the company for the role I'd applied for, I was offered the role and accepted.Courtney has been so supportive throughout, and super organised with everything. Even in Courtney's absence today, I've received a call from Julia just to go over final details before I start my new role on Tuesday.Fantastic 10/10 service and a pleasure to be with Express Recruitment.

Express recruitment is one of the best agencies I have consulted with. Within a week I had my interview as well as a job offer and start date. Most prompt and efficient service provided by all members of staff especially Courtney and Ella who assisted me with my current job.

I contacted Express Recruitment after finishing University and my experience with Jorge Hills was great which ended up in me getting a job which I am very satisfied with! Jorge was very helpful and gave me regular updates through this process. Would definitely recommend. Very friendly staff who check up on you even after you get the job!

I have had an excellent experience with Alex Kean from Express Recruitment! I had originally applied for a role through CV library and within 24 hours I had received a phone call from Alex. He wanted to discuss further about the role with myself and once we had done this Alex passed over my details with the company and arranged an interview! Throughout the whole process Alex was super helpful understood what I was seeking and always updated me with information as soon as he got it himself. As a recent university graduate it was hard finding opportunities however Alex addressed this and guided me! Thank you very much Alex for your support!
