Candidate Testimonials

Candidate: Lesley Payne

"Having been made unexpectedly redundant it was very important to me that I found the right new job. The team at Cody took the time to talk through my experience to identify both my strengths and the type of role that would be right for me. They did not promise the earth and then deliver nothing as others did nor did they waste my time with unsuitable roles. Instead they found me just the right position and supported me through the recruitment process which has resulted in me being successful in gaining a job that is a great career move and which excites me. I have been very impressed as a candidate and when I need to recruit in my new role they will be the only people I call. Honest, caring and focussed they have impressed me. Thank you to the whole team."

Candidate: Peter O’Connor

"I’ve been in recruitment for nine years, so I am quite critical of Rec2Rec companies however I found an agency who actually listen and forward your resume to positions you’re actually suited too. Sarah was like a breath of fresh air, always attentive, meticulous and always in contact, I would recommend Sarah and her colleagues at Cody to any of my colleagues within the industry."

Candidate: Chris Stolting

"I'm delighted to say you've been a pleasure to work with and I've appreciated your frank and friendly advice and support through some challenging times. Thanks to how swiftly we were able to move I've quickly found myself an ideal role, in a company that will live all the values that were most important to me, and in a sector I was most interested in experiencing. I really appreciate the time and effort you've put in to this and have thoroughly enjoyed working with you; I couldn't have done it without you!"

"My experience of working with Jill Marsden at Cody has been simply first class. Jill contacted me and registered me, and in doing so really managed to determine my needs as a candidate by taking the time to ask crucial questions. She then went about finding solutions to match those needs in a professional and timely manner, and kept me in touch every second of the way. At no point was I kept in the dark as to what was going on in the process. Her skills in sourcing suitable positions in the market place are second to none and all her hard work and determination soon paid off as I went from being made redundant with my last firm to having a fantastic offer on the table with a really good firm within two weeks! I would definitely contact Cody again in future before any other rec 2 rec firm, should the need arise."

Candidate: Mohammad Shubber

"I am writing this email to give positive comments on the service that Sarah Cairns provided.
I would like to state that Sarah has been very professional throughout the recruitment process of finding me permanent employment.
I passed my CV to her and within a few days she called and booked four interviews for me and through her hard work and advice she gave me I managed to secure employment with ITHR.
I can say I have been very happy with her ability to find me work and I can honestly state that she has been the best Rec2Rec Consultant I have ever come across throughout my 10 year career in IT Recruitment.
Therefore I am very happy to recommend her to any other Recruitment Consultants looking for work.
I would like to thank her for her hard work, professionalism and the advice she gave me."

Candidate: Andrew Barnett

"I contacted Jane a few months ago whilst under consultation with my previous employer, and we shared information, which from me was describing my background and experience, whilst Jane explained some market information and what my expectations could be.

Through networking both with myself and clients, Jane became aware of a vacancy that she discussed with me, and through hard work, industry knowledge, understanding of the customer, knowledge of me as an individual, determination and what I can only describe as a genuine desire to help and represent me, I have now been successful and begin work on Monday.

Throughout the whole process, I have found Jane to be honest, personable, trustworthy, and extremely competent in her role, and I would have no hesitation in either recommending Jane to friends and family, or returning to her myself should the occasion ever arise."

Candidate: Callum D'Souza

"Vicki went above and beyond in order to firstly find a host of top quality companies which were currently recruiting. Then she passed on the her valuable knowledge and experience and went to great lengths in order to make sure I was 100% prepared for the subsequent interviews. As a result I went into every interview feeling calm and confident that I was completely prepared. This advice was invaluable. Even after the interview stage she went out of her way to help me and was always prepared to answer my questions or queries which I had.

Vicki above all is a really lovely person and I am really thankful for all the hard work and dedication that she put in order to do everything she possibly could in order to make sure that I got the job that I wanted."

Candidate: Nicola Rawson

"I am an experienced IT recruiter and have recently been made redundant. I have been approached by a number of rec to recs and also have made some direct enquiries myself.

I was contacted yesterday by Katherine Marron of Cody, and had a lengthy chat with her this morning about my career and aspirations, and she is submitting my CV for a role at venturi. Katherine is by far the best rec to rec consultant I have spoken to, she listened, was consultative, constructive, professional, gave me good advice, and most of all gave me a real feeling she cared.

I am doing something I have never done before, but believe people should be commended where due. Regardless of whether Katherine places me in a suitable position, Katherine went the extra mile and is a credit to your business, and after all a business is its people."

Candidate: Matt Gowie

" As you know I have had a lot of mixed emotions today.  I'm ecstatic because Ive found the perfect role me but sincerely devastated that you're not getting the reward for placing me! For a number of reasons I can honestly say its been an absolute pleasure dealing with you over the past 10 days. I must have dealt with at least 8 separate consultants and you are at least 5, if not 10 miles ahead of any of them. You were fast, consultative, friendly (surprising for a Man U fan...), professional, supportive and sincere in everything you did and the only consolation is that I was placed directly so none of the other consultants will be getting a fee!

One of the massive factors was how well you understood your clients and therefore provided me with the most essential company/ position knowledge that I simply could not have found out myself. How you managed to do all this in the odd 5 or 10 minute call was unbelievable! I never felt like you were rushing me.  I remember saying to you from the start that it feels like I'm learning the role of a recruiter from all of the conversations I’ve been having with consultants but they could certainly learn a thing or two. Maybe you should consider training or management one day in the not so distant future? I would certainly be sending a few people your way and will continue to if I come across anybody else looking to get into the game or make a move. In fact I have 4 or 5 friends in the job who will be looking to move around as they have been in their roles for 4-5 years so far.  I hate to tell you but I will be plastering your name all over the place so you can blame me if your phone begins to melt in the not so distant future.

On another note, during my interview with ******** he asked, "so what do you know about the role" and "why do you want to work for ******"? After my explanation he gave me a very rigid look in the eye and said, "she's good isn't she?". "Who?" I replied, to which he mentioned your name, so its not only me  who recognises that but an established company director who has learnt the sales trade in one of the toughest environments!

Well all the best Vicki, yours is one phone number I will be taking with me where ever I go."

 

Candidate: Becci Houghton

"I have recieved excellent support throughout the process with interview support through to advice when putting my notice in. I wouldnt hesitate to use cody in the future( although i hope that the need wont arise to move career again for some time). I have also passed your contact details onto a previous collegue and would do the same to any other previous collegues who are looking for a career move. I have always found you polite, professional and really approachable. Unlike other agencies i have experienced you did exactly what you said you would at the start. I know I keep thanking you but you have listened understood and matched me with my ideal job for which I am extremely grateful."
