Customer Testimonials

“Connect Appointments has been providing us with a fantastic level of recruitment service for our permanent staff. They have demonstrated an excellent understanding of our company and our recruitment requirements, and has been able to provide an accurate range of candidates to fit our needs. Our consultant excelled in helping us to fill a couple of particularly difficult roles. They’re always well organised and keeps us regularly updated with information. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as a consultant, and Connect Appointments as an agency.”

– John McGavigan Limited

“Linda at Connect Appointments has helped source many good candidates for some potentially difficult job roles that we have within our company. It is hard to find the kind of calibre we are looking for, as most of our roles are quite specific and unique. Linda has put forward candidates who have been selected for testing and interview and some received job offers which makes my role easier.”

– Multi Packaging Solutions

Warburtons Depot at Newton Abbot have dealt with Connect Driver Solutions from March 2019.

“We have found their service beneficial to our operation for the following reasons:

1. They are able to attract Drivers/Warehouse staff for our operation quickly as they will actively approach viable candidates direct to meet our requirements.
2. They are aware of the requirements of the roles we have and the type of candidate who is best placed to fill these positions.
3. Communication and customer service is excellent.
4. The standard of staff being supplied has been very high and a number of temporary staff supplied by Connect have progressed to a permanent full time role at Warburtons.
We have dealt with a number of recruitment agencies but Connect are now our ‘go to’ provider.”
