"Gareth Dunn said (31/05/07) - In the months of job-searching I have experienced so far I have come in contact with many recruitment agencies acting on the behalf of various employers. Usually the intial support and interest is intense and supportive, but failure to secure an intial position via the agency almost always results in a drop in contact and vacancy information - this includes several 'national' agencies, such as Reed.co.uk. My experience with abc recruitment services to date has been the antithesis of these experiences. Prompt contact preceeded by a realistic appointment, in this case in the form of a telephone conversation to cater for the differing geographical locations, characterised what has turned out to be a greatly informative and helpful service. Independant advice on CV construction, interview techniques and general careers advice was present, without special request, and went above and beyond the call of duty for what I have come to expect from recruitment agencies. I have no doubt that my encounter with ABC recruitment has benefitted me and will lead to a position of employment suitable to my experience and characteristics."

I have bombarded hundreds of employment agencies recently and over the years with my CV appropriate to vacancies they are advertising. Only a handful replied and those that did informed me simply as ‘thanks but no thanks’ Demoralizing or what! abc recruitment services are so, so different. They are friendly and warming and have proved themselves to be a truly professional company. I can honestly say that in terms of commitment to the job seeker, they are committed 110% in finding a suitable vacancy that goes with your experience. With their professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication, I have secured full time employment in a position one could only dream about. I could not have done this without their help. abc never give up, the staff never give up. They give you the ’ total’ package -CV building, advice, coaching and most of all they continually communicate with all parties involved. This is the first time I have ever felt the need to appraise a recruitment company and to all of you hopeful people who need the reassurance, you are in the best hands. Many thanks again abc."
