We also ensure we receive feedback from all
our candidates that are offered placements - both permanent
and temporary. Sometimes we even receive feedback from people
we haven't yet placed. Here is some of our feedback from candidates:
Candidate A
"'You are one of the few recruiters who respond
in person and promptly' and 'excellent service.'"
Candidate B
"Arras are the first recruitment consultancy that respond to any request in good time, and within the timescales promised."
"The contact, feedback and encouragement from start to finish was superb."
"Very thorough with job interview assistance etc."
Candidate C
"Most other agencies I have dealt with do not have a firm grasp on what the client is looking for and instead just churn out the job description word-for-word. The consultant had a good idea of the role and was in a position to judge my suitability for it rather than just acting as a middleman for CVs.
"The consultant is the most informed consultant I have dealt with."
Candidate D
"I have to admit that my previous experience of recruitment agencies has been disappointing. This said, your help and cooperation in providing information promptly and giving helpful feedback has been outstanding and is greatly appreciated."
Candidate E
"...you are one of the few recruiters who respond in person and promptly (3 minutes). Excellent service."
Candidate F
".....You obviously believe in clear, regular communication (the type that you would expect within an operational project or programme environment). This may seem natural given what you do, however many of your competitors do not do this! From what I have seen so far Arras seem a great organisation to work with and I look forward to having the opportunity to discuss appropriate roles with you in the future."
Candidate G
"...Just wanted to say what a refreshing difference it makes talking to someone who understands the client / role and also has the ability to determine the real requirements. It is a shame that more agencies cannot operate in this manner- you guys are doing a good job for all concerned."
Candidate H
"...Personal service without superficiality. Very quick, responsive and helpful. No pressure to be placed in the wrong job. Consultant very good at determining strengths and weaknesses to make you better prepared for interview."
Candidate I
"...Can I say I think you are the most thorough and professional recruiter I've spoken to since I started my search."
Candidate J
"...By far the best recruitment consultancy I have had the pleasure to deal with out of nearly 30 consultancies over the last two years."
Candidate K
"You've been very helpful - I've worked with a number of agencies from both sides in the last few years, and you've been exceptionally helpful in responding to queries, your interview preparation and follow up."
Candidate L
"I just wanted to thank you again for your time today. It's so refreshing to have a recruiter who cares about peoples futures. I will pass your details on to any friends (with the relevant experience!) looking for new positions."
Candidate M
"I'd also like to say that I found your thoroughness and approach very professional and one which reflects very well on Arras People, in particular the interview notes - which you can always learn more or benefit from a reminder - and the call prior to the interview itself. Not many agencies go to so much trouble."
Candidate N
"I stumbled accross your website and thought that some professional advice on the sector would be beneficial in my position. Nicola was very helpful and offered to look at my revised CV."
Candidate O
"It was really useful and Mick gave me very positive (advice), frank and a much clearer focus on what I need to do to move my career forward."
Candidate P
When asked 'What attracted you to this service?': "The price, as other Co's looking at creating a cv for you charge 10x that amount. This way it makes you consider what you have done and you get the professional help you require."
Candidate Q
"I'm quited pleased with the honest and candid opinion about my CV. I knew it wasn't well laid out, but couldn't put together the missing bits. Gary's advice really helped in identifying my selling points and also helped in understanding the proper layout and formatting to use on my CV. Thanks for the service. It was Superb!"
Candidate R
"Not oly did John go through my CV but he also ensured that my experience was visible and showed me how to have continuity through CV to interview.
I have known about Arras People for over 5 years now and respect (and)...value John Thorpe's views. "
Candidate S
"The inputs and suggestions have given me a broader outlook towards how I should go about with my career and its progress."
Candidate T
"Honest, productive advice on how better I could present my skills and achievements within my CV. I also received some invaluable guidance on which roles I would be best suited to."
Candidate U
"After a couple of weeks of silence from the recruiters I had applied to, I needed a way to discuss the impact of my resume with the people it mattered to. It gave me some perspective on the wording and layout of my CV. After looking at it for so long having someone else to discuss the content with gave me a fresh set of eyes."
Candidate V
"The clinic confirmed that I am taking steps in the right direction and I was encouraged to explore other ways to get the experience I am lacking. The conversation was honest and all my questions were answered with depth and insight."
