Joe was great from start to finish and I'm very grateful to him for his help getting my job! He kept me updated on the progress of my application regularly and was really friendly constantly. I would 100% recommend Spear to a friend as the process offers a lot more than most recruitment agencies which support you. 10/10 would use again!

I’ll be honest, I didn’t really read any of the reviews before I dealt with the company (a consultant called Charlie). However, from start to finish this was a simple, excellent service and I really felt like they cared. Exceptional customer service!! Thank Charlie for helping me obtain my new career, in an an amazing environment and with a great company...

I couldn't recommend them more. Honestly, If anyone could land you a job its these guys. After a phone conversation with Ben Moses, he was able to quickly secure a job interview. After putting in what was required from the interview, I was offered the position. All at a time where i desperately needed to change jobs. They made it happen. No time wasting. A review is the least i could do.

Just wanted to say that we recently had a post to fill for a manager in an accountancy practice. We decided to use some recruitment agents to assist us with this process. Spear recruitment and in particular Laura Farmer was especially helpful in this process. Laura was very clear and efficient throughout and eventually found me the right candidate! Laura service by far outshone all the other competitors. Highly recommend to anyone.

Laura was absolutely fantastic through the whole process of my securing my job. She knew the type of work culture and environment that would suit me, and my current role is so far the best job I have had. She was also very professional and understanding with a sincere desire to help. I would recommend her and the agency any time and any day

Annie helped me secure a permanent role after being self employed working as a contractor for many years. She kept me in the loop throughout the whole process and helped coach me for my interview. Once I secured the role Annie went above and beyond by helping negotiate a great package which I did not expect to receive. She was a fantastic negotiator and advisor. I am extremely happy with the service Annie provided me from start to finish and feel very lucky that she contacted me about the role by sourcing my cv from job boards. Thank you Annie!

Spoke with Annie a couple of months ago when I was looking for a new role, she was so helpful and lovely to chat to. She answered all my queries and even spoke outside my working hours which helped me get the ball rolling quicker. I’m now in a job role which I love and work with a great team. Thank you Annie!

I am exceptionally pleased and very happy with the service I have received from Spear recruitment. Within one week of them receiving my CV I had been recommended for an interview and was offered the post! Marcia and Ben worked meticulously in every aspect of my job application and the moral support they gave me was outstanding! I have never experienced this level of commitment and care from an employment agency. I highly recommend Spear recruitment and would not hesitate to use them again if ever necessary. I sincerely wish them all the best!

I cannot thank Liam enough! After him and his team reached out to me for help with my recruitment process they fully exceeded my expectations with their friendly approach and consistent results. They're very good at their job and I can't imagine any firm in their sector that could do better.
