Forsythes Recruitment Testimonials

"Scott Henshaw and the team at Forsythes have been exceptional to deal with. As a HR Manager with many years experience, it is easy become very jaded by very mediocre external providers however, in all dealings with Scott and the Forysthes' team I have had exceptional experiences. They provide exceptional levels of customer service and communication both to our HR team and to the hiring managers as required and maintain a balance of stakeholder interest between candidate and client that I have found rare. We have worked with them on a range of differing assignments over the years from office support (temp and perm) through to management positions. In doing this they have demonstrated a sound understanding of our business and needs and have been able to match the two. They have been responsive to our changing needs and also taken onboard feedback in relation to candidates and assignments in general to ensure that we were getting the "right fit". Our confidence in their ability was probably most significantly demonstrated when we outsourced all of our recruitment needs to them for a period of high demand. In this capacity they provided a dedicated recruiter for the project. The specific deliverables and outcomes of this were achieved and a positive spin off was a marked improvement in our employment brand in the marketplace."

"We used Forsythes based on their reputation in the area, and also allowed two other local firms to pitch for the assignment. The candidate we selected, based on fit for the role and our perception of suitability for the culture, had actually approached one of the other firms and was told they would not put him forward because they viewed his skillset as inadequate. Clearly they had not understood the specifications we had set, whereas Forsythes put forward a number of good candidates in line with our requirements and it was a difficult decision to choose between them."
