Testimonials

Our customers love us! Read their reviews below.

I can not fault the service provided by Jess at ASR recruitment. From the moment I engaged with her I felt confident in entrusting Jess with my future employment. She went above and beyond to understand my motives for jobseeking, the role I was looking for and the working environment I was hoping for. Jess ensured I was kept updated with job opportunities and when the right one came up, set up a one on one prep session to make sure I was confident going into the interview. After the interview she followed up with a call to check on me and make sure I wasn’t a bundle of nerves! She also called me the morning of my first day to wish me good luck and when my contract was renewed she came out to meet up with my to celebrate with a coffee and a chat. Jess is very professional and treats you like a friend, not just a recruit. The entire experience from start to finish was delightful and I strongly recommend ASR Recruitment.

I was recently recruited and placed by Jessica Wagstaff at ASR, and I was very impressed by her handling of the process. She was always available to respond to my questions and served as a great conduit between myself and her client. She believed that I was going to be a good fit for the company and it’s been very clear that she didn’t just consider my skillset, but also looked at the culture of the business.
