What people say about headstart recruitment :

"The first thing about headstart was that they were willing to meet me. If you're a man and over 50, most agencies can't be bothered.

Then the next point of difference was that they were friendly and efficient.

Very soon after the initial meeting, they got me an interview for which they supported me with advice and a detailed candidate profile.

This resulted in me getting a good permanent job at a salary 30%-40% higher than I'd been expecting, and to put the icing on the cake, they were as pleased about this as I was.

headstart's advertising says they are 'probably the best in permanent recruitment', I'd say they are definitely the best, they are welcoming, caring, highly professional and effective and I recommend them unreservedly."

" I have worked with headstart recruitment since they started up in Reading. I have always found them to be professional, helpful and very enthusiastic.

The staff always send CVs of applicants that fit the exact job description and this saves time interviewing people that are totally unsuitable for the job. The calibre of applicants is always exceedingly high.

I know that I can trust headstart recruitment with all my recruitment needs and that they will find me the right person for the job!"

" Ultima Business Solutions is a Reading based provider of secure, available and scalable IT infrastructure solutions. The company was founded in 1990 and now employs around 150 people. Our customers include many major corporates based in the Thames Valley and City of London.

Our association with headstart began shortly after Ultima was started . We have always found that the headstart team could rapidly respond to our requests and provide us with candidates with the appropriate skills to get the job done. They took the time to understand our business needs and as a result invariably meet our requirements first time.

As our relationship with them has matured over the years, we now have solid trust in headstart that they can deliver the right people to us with the minimum of effort from ourselves: they do all the work for us!"

"After being with my previous company for 25 years I found it quite a daunting prospect to begin looking for employment. To use an agency seemed to be the best option and as soon as I had e-mailed my CV to headstart, they responded.

Debbie Chandler, my contact at headstart was very complimentary of my abilities and asked if I could attend a meeting with her as soon as possible. I was given a warm welcome at the agency and Debbie was very approachable making me feel valued and assured me that she would have no trouble in finding me a suitable position.

I was constantly updated with the situation between interviews, no matter who I spoke to at headstart, they were aware of my requirements and never failed to let me know what was happening.

Debbie had identified exactly the right role and company for me and three months later I am very happy in my new position as Training Manager for Checkpoint Security Services in Reading.

The team at headstart have an entirely professional and sincere approach to their clients, focused on matching you and your ideal job role, and this builds your confidence at a time when you are in need of support and reassurance. I would have no hesitation in recommending headstart recruitment to anyone who is looking for a new career opportunity."
