“The level of service from Positive has been excellent. We have a number of agencies we use and Positive have by far the highest success rate in placing candidates with us. Sharon Whitby quickly gained an understanding of our requirements and took the time to understand how we work. I am personally very busy and get bombarded by recruitment companies. Sharon understands I am busy and doesn’t bombard me with calls. This has led to us having a long standing relationship with Positive and Sharon and they are always the first company I contact when I have a recruitment need.”
IT Support Services Provider
“Like many companies wanting to find and take on quality management, technical, project and sales staff, we are faced with trying to do it ourselves or facing the challenge of trying to deal with the plethora of recruitment consultants. Historically we had a panel of companies we worked with but after the three best candidates for three consecutive appointments came from the same company, there was an inevitable conclusion. We now always give first refusal to Positive Recruitment as their staff have taken the time to really understand our specific requirements and only provide us candidates of the highest calibre, all of whom have added significant value to our company. I highly recommend them.”
Legal Software Provider
“Positive have always supplied us with skilled and personable staff who fit in well in our team and fully meet our requirements.”
A London Borough Council
“I have always been very pleased with the friendly and efficient service tailored to meet our individual requirements particularly from Liz Walker at Positive Recruitment.”
A Data Solutions Company
“Fast and efficient friendly service without unnecessary time wasting. Richard Des Moulins does not harass me with loads of calls – he quickly and efficiently gets on with what I have asked him for and sends me good quality candidates that match the job specifications I provide and are within the agreed budgets. This is an increasingly competitive market and recruitment agencies need to empathise more with the requirements of the employing organisations. This should be prioritised over agency sales targets. Positive Recruitment seems to want to help with our staffing problems rather than simply achieve sales targets.”
An NHS Trust
“I have been extremely impressed with the work that Positive have carried out for us. The consultants are professional, thorough and understand our business needs. The quality of the candidates they have is fantastic, as is their ability to deliver on time. I would recommend Positive, especially on posts that are often not straightforward. They have helped us in a number of difficult areas.”

A District Council
“All staff we have utilised from Positive have been highly trained, motivated and carried out their projects efficiently and within budget. Positive have always provided us with staff that have met our requirements exactly. Enabling us to choose from a high quality shortlist, thus saving time and effort in the recruitment process.”
A Landmine Company
“We were delighted with the screening that the Positive team performed to ensure that the selected candidates that they offered were suitable for the position. This was only possible by them taking great care to prepare an exact brief of what we were looking for. This resulted in us interviewing a couple of candidates all of which we were comfortable with. We recruited our IT manager who has escorted the company from a very poor ad hock expensive misfit structure to a cost effective reliable system. A professional and friendly team of people who it is a pleasure working with, we have no hesitation in recommending ‘Positive’ to anyone who appreciates a good value solution.”

Placements Officer
“I have had a lot of experience in dealing with permanent and temporary recruitment agencies and have become cynical of the whole process. However, having been introduced to Positive after simply making a phone call in regard to a job advertisement, I have received outstanding service from every person with whom I have dealt. Positive clearly work closely together as a team and have managed to overcome the communication barrier with each other and their clients.
I knew I could count on the consultants at Positive to get back to me when they said they would, and to have the courtesy to call with regular updates, even when there was no new developments.
When I started in my current position, I was greeted with the same enthusiasm for the high standard of service that Positive deliver by my new employer. I am convinced that personalising customer service in the recruitment industry is definitely the way forward and that Positive have mastered the art.”
