Here are some testimonials from companies we have worked with:
Laura Johns | Recruitment Manager | Morgan Professional Services Ltd
I have worked with Hill McGlynn for the past two years. Working regularly with Sean in the Manchester office has allowed Hill McGlynn to develop a good understanding of the business and of the calibre of candidates we look for. I have found the level of service consistently high and candidates are closely matched to our requirements. The benefit of the continued relationship with Hill McGlynn lies in their ability to recruit at short notice for projects with which they are familiar and their promotion of the company on our behalf in a hugely competitive labour market.

Sandy Rae | Technical Manager | Workplace Solutions Team
I would like to take this opportunity to express my satisfaction with the engineer you recently placed in Basingstoke, and for the calibre of engineers you put forward for interview.
All seamed to have a good knowledge of there subjects, and were well presented, and I would be more than happy to recommend Hill McGlyn to my colleagues.
Once again thanks for your professional approach, and if in the future I have any labour requirement I will certainly be contacting you.

Manish Thakrar | FACILITIES MAINTENANCE SERVICES (UK) ltd
We approached BBT with a brief of our requirements. Lee Fallon contacted us and he discussed the brief with us. He was then very active in finding appropriate candidates for us. At each stage of sourcing candidates he kept us informed of his progress and always sent us detailed CV's of the candidates. He organised the interview times both for first and second interviews and briefed all candidates as to our requirements. The candidate we employed was sourced by Lee and she was the perfect fit for the position we were looking to fill.
We would use this companies and Lee's services again in the future.

Stephen Moss | Operations Manager | Clearbray Shoppfitters

April Johnson | Integra Consulting (Engineers) Limited
We have worked with Richard Hughes at Hill McGlynn for 4 years and have used him exclusively for the recruitment of our Civil and Structural Consulting Engineers.
When we first met with Richard we were very impressed with his thoroughness and his drive to understand our business and our recruiting needs. He maintains close relations with us and strives to regularly update himself on our objectives and future recruitment requirements.
He has recruited for us key members of our staff and they have progressed well within our Company. His comprehension of our ongoing requirement is key to our successful recruitment and the progression of our consulting business.
Richard always pre-interviews potential candidates and has a good understanding of what their potential might be before we see them. He is honest about the candidates he puts forward, advising us on how he thinks they will fit into the existing structure of our business.
To date our business relationship with Richard has been very rewarding.

Scott Poulter | Civils Commercial Manager | Dean & Dyball
Hill McGlynn is among a small and select group of recruitment consultants that Dean & Dyball use for the vast majority of their recruitment.
As is so often the case, companies key asset is their staff and in this respect Hill McGlynn are very fortunate. I would not hesitate to recommend Emily Andersen for any Civils recruitment and I know that my building colleagues would similarly recommend Tristan Prior.
Too date any prospective candidates supplied by Emily and Tristan have been suitable for the brief and those individuals we have recruited have been of the highest standard. For as long as this remains; Hill McGlynn will continue to be a key part of our recruitment strategy.

Site Manager | Client
I would like to bring to your attention the outstanding service that I and my company have received from your representative Louise Mclaren.
Louise has always been extremely helpful in locating the best operatives for me, usually at very short notice; all of the men that she has supplied have been of the highest quality and carried out their duties to the highest standards.
No query or problem has ever fazed Louise, no matter how tall the order she always delivers, and her attitude is always upbeat and pro active. I have used Hill McGlynn exclusively for all my temporary labour purely because of the service I have received from Louise and the standard of labour that she has supplied.
In closing, well done Louise; and many thanks.

Peter Wilkinson | Partner | Driver Jonas
I have known and worked with Elliot Wright (Sector Manager, London) for the last three years or so and he has undertaken many assignments for me during this time. I would say that his quality of service is exceptional, he has consistently delivered for us and found good quality candidates on a regular basis.
He always meets the timescales that are set and keeps us informed and updated on progress as things develop.
He is probably the best recruitment consultant that I deal with - and I do deal with many across the UK !

I have known Ash from Hill McGlynn for almost two years and he has been an integral part of the recruitment process at Wates Living Space. He has always strived to provide me with good quality staff on a contractual basis. He has took it upon himself to fully understand what my organisation requires from its staff and also how important it is for me to have the right candidate at the right time.
Hill McGlynn is a reputable organisation that employs consultants like Ash, who have a professional work attitude at all times and add that extra touch when it comes to looking after there clients. I hope to be using Ash and Hill McGlynn for the foreseeable future, as I feel that he always has Wates Living Space interests at heart and will always be honest with his approach when recruiting for us.

Mark Rosindale | Commercial Director | Strata Construction Limited
I have worked with Liz Berry of Hill McGlynn on the recruitment of Commercial Construction staff now for over 6 years.
We have an extremely high success rate in placing the right candidate with the appropriate firm, something which both Liz and I to consider to be particularly important for all concerned.
Liz does not work on a 'Scatter gun volume approach' and is keen to ensure that any prospective candidate is of the right calibre and thinking for the vacancy looking to be filled, having thoroughly researched the opportunity in advance from both ends.
I have always found Liz to be attentive and professional in everything that she does, and could give no better compliment than to say she will be my first point of call when looking to recruit a suitable candidate to fill a vacancy with the company.
|
Richard James | Commercial Manager | May Gurney OPFA
Liz has been known to me for several years and I would say from the outset that I have no hesitation in writing this testimonial for her.
Liz has been my contact with Hill McGlynn for approximately three and a half years now and in that time has sourced some excellent candidates for me.
She always deals with matters in a very professional manner and what I find extremely positive is that her manner is always friendly whilst maintaining that professionalism (she is never over familiar).
Liz is clearly able to distinguish from CV,c and interviews when a candidate is truly suitable for a position from when the candidate thinks they are suitable . She sorts the wheat from the chaff.
Confidentiality is key in her role and I have never had any occasion to question that confidentiality.
The position she has dictates that she needs to be force full, however it also dictates that she does not over step the mark and become pushy. Liz manages the balance very well.
From my experience I am happy that Liz understands the Construction and Rail industry and unlike many others I have dealt with recognises the specific requirements of Rail in particular.
In conclusion Liz is an asset and an ambassador for Hill McGlynn

Peter Buzwell | Partnering Manager | Morrison PLC
Over the last 2 - 3 years since working with Matthew Taylor, I can honestly say it has been a pleasure working with him.
He has always listened to my our requirements and only sent candidates that fit the profile requirements, and if he was not able to fit these requirements he would be upfront and inform us of this and not just send anybody along just for the sake of it. This enables us to go else where and not spend valuable time interviewing unsuitable candidates.
When we first started doing business with Matt and his team i requested that he was not to keep cold calling staff, this has always been honoured and we know that any requirement needs are only a phonecall away.
I would say that Matt and his team have been instrumental in growing the business within Morrison and would continue to do so.

Andrew M Moisley | Chief Quantity Surveyor | Holroyd Construction
I have known Liz for over three years. She has placed me in two employment positions, both of which have worked out extremely well.
Liz has also worked with my colleagues and myself at Holroyd Construction, locating quality candidates to handle our increasing workload.
During my dealings with Liz she has always acted in an extremely courteous and professional matter. She appreciates the importance of providing candidates that have the right chemistry so they will blend with the team they are hoping to join.
My personal view of Liz is that she sets the benchmark in terms of forming an enjoyable, yet professional, client relationship.
I am looking forward to continuing this relationship in the future.

We have been dealing with Martin Spencer of Hill McGlynn for approximately three years and during this time he has sourced the candidates we require in fast and efficient manor. The candidates he has sourced for us have been to the correct job specification and ability and we have successfully employed them to fulfill our requirements.
The process we employ is to forward the job description along with the roles and responsibilities so that an appropriate candidate can be sourced and the their CV is sent to ourselves for inspection prior to arranging an interview. After the interview; Martin always gives feed back from the candidate with respect to whether they consider themselves suitable for the position and if they like our company image before we offer employment.

The level of service from Hill McGlynn has been excellent. We have a number of agencies we use and Hill McGlynn have by far the highest success rate in placing candidates with us.
Steve Cook quickly gained an understanding of my requirements and took the time to understand how we work, providing me with the correct operative for tasks he will be required to undertake. Steve understands I am a busy person and doesnt bombard me with calls. This has led to us having a long standing relationship with Hill McGlynn and Steve and they are always the first company I contact whenever I have a recruitment need.

Richard J Roberts | Commercial Manager
Following the relocation of our offices to Leeds last year, our workload and turnover has flourished to a comfortable 360 million a year turnover.
The size of contracts has also increased, and currently we have two contracts both in excess of £20 million. There is also a very healthy order book planned for next year.
This has lead us to carefully consider the level of resources and staffing that is required in order to manage this work.
On some of our larger sites, we have utilised the services of Hill McGlynn Associates for a lot of Contract staff, in order to manage the actual construction of these buildings.
However, with regards to the commercial aspects, it has been our philosophy to recruit staff on a permanent basis. This way we obtain the full commitment of our staff, under our control.
In this respect, we have a very close working relationship with your Leeds office, who has dedicated the services of your Elizabeth Berry.
We have worked with Liz over the last six years, and her services have proved invaluable in sourcing the right level of staff we require in order to manage our contracts commercially.
