Employers:

We have worked with Prestige Appointments on a number of roles and have been pleased by the service they have provided to us.  Tara and Adele always go the extra mile to find the right candidates even if it is not in their particular area of expertise.  So many agencies these days simply regurgitate CVs or forward on a trawl from the Intranet – Prestige Appointments have always taken a great deal of time to make sure the selected candidates are fully briefed about our company and our requirements and make sure there is a strong fit to the organisation, this is an invaluable service and saves a great deal of time and energy for us hard-pressed HR folks!

Why we use Prestige Appointments and would continue to in the future – In addition to providing a thorough and professional service you have a great personal approach and for each of the vacancies we’ve put your way, even those not directly in your area of expertise, you’ve taken time to understand the requirements of the role and to gain a picture of the ideal candidate to fill the position before presenting appropriate candidates.

One line to describe the service of Prestige Appointments…..
“Understanding, down to earth & honest = true professionalism with a warm smile”

Sarah Walker
National HR Manager
Virgin Active

Having worked with both Adele and Tara not only as a candidate but more recently as a client I can confidently say that the service they provide is professional, friendly but most importantly honest. They have made it their business to know Diebold inside out including spending time talking to Department Heads so they are in an excellent position to offer candidates who are a perfect match for the company.  They are unlike any recruitment consultants I have worked with before because there is no hard sell, I believe their motivation is about placing the right people in the right jobs.

As a local Building Society it is extremely important for us to recruit candidates who understand the local community and the importance of the provision of a first class customer service as well as a competitive product range.

Prestige Appointments made time to understand our business and were therefore able to put forward candidates with the appropriate background, experience and knowledge to meet our needs.

They kept us up to date with their progress in sourcing suitable candidates and dealt with arranging interviews and providing feedback in an efficient and professional manner.

I would have no hesitation in using Prestige again and would recommend them to others looking for a first class service.

Phil Bannister, Head of Operations, Harpenden Building Society

In our position as a middle weight company nestled amongst some giants in Milton Keynes, we had been experiencing great difficulty in recruiting experienced and capable Senior Team Leaders and Operations Managers to support our expanding operation.  All agencies and own advertising had resulted in some limited success however a brief initial request to Prestige Appointments was rapidly followed by an agreed specification which resulted in a rich source of potential candidate CVs.  Strong CVs turned into impressive interviews and resulted in the successful appointment of an outstanding new member of the management team.

Prestige appointments have proved to be a very unique recruitment consultant and one I would highly recommend. They differ from many consultants I have dealt with, in that they took time to learn about me in addition to my academic and work experiences. They also treated me as a person and not just another CV in their files. Both demonstrated their genuine interest in putting me forward for THE position for me and not just filling vacancies they have.
Tara's professional approach to the whole process meant that I felt relaxed from start to finish. She was there at each step of the selection process should I have a question and also to gain and provide feedback at all stages.
Having been successful in the selection process, I have now started in my new role which I am thrilled about. I cannot thank the team enough for their dedication and support.

Adele contacted me late on Friday afternoon with details of an opportunity. It was clear from the outset that she had read my CV and other details posted on the jobsite concerned and had taken that information into consideration before she made the phone call. The vacancy needed to be filled in a hurry so she phoned three times and sent two emails within the following two hours to ensure that I had all the information I needed before close of business that day. I was interviewed on Monday at 12:00 and by 16:30 everything was organised ready for me to start the following day. Throughout the process I felt that I was the sole object of her and Tara’s attention. I was very impressed with the speed they were able to work at and the quality of the service I received. In particular there were no unpleasant surprises and no haggling over salary levels.

'I have recently used Prestige Appointments to find new employment and I would like to highly recommend them to any future candidates. I received a first class service from Tara who was both proactive and very informative during my jobsearch. At no time did I feel pressured during the process as many recruitment firms tend to make you feel.

They were very professional in their approach and two months into my new role I am very much enjoying my new job and would like to thank Prestige Appointments for all their hard work and assistance'

I found Prestige Appointments to be different from many agencies - I believed they had my interests in mind and I wasn't just another source of income, which is what I have felt with some other agencies in the past.

They gave me honest and useful advice about my career in general and were very supportive whilst I was going through the recruitment process with my new employer. All in all, I was really impressed with Prestige Appointments and I would recommend them to anyone looking to find a new position.
