Success story 2
Sam Leamon - Account Director
I contacted Direct Recruitment when I was looking for a new job because of their reputation as specialists within the DM industry. I was aware that the consultants had worked in agencies themselves, and so would have good contacts as well as understanding the realities of agency life. They really took the time to get to know me and what I wanted from my career, and were very good at keeping in touch with me during the whole process. They were encouraging throughout, honest with feedback and genuinely delighted for me when a job offer came through.
Diana Kamure - Account Manager
After establishing my level of experience and qualifications, my contact took the time to get to know more about me as a person. Not just my hobbies, but things like the kind of people I would ideally like to work with. I was also told about good jobs which she wasn't going to put me forward to, because she didn't think they were the right fit. Then, when she proposed alternatives and talked about individuals within those agencies and the work culture, I felt confident that my interests had been well considered. Obviously being placed in two great positions over the years were great results. Personally, the added value for me was the professional advice, and the knowledge that I could count on my contact for support as well as fair and objective advice.
Samantha Kennedy - Head of DM
I've known Direct Recruitment for a number of years and they are always my first port of call when I'm either looking for a job, or trying to fill a vacancy. They provide me with a specialist knowledge of the industry, and have a really in-depth understanding of both the agency world, and the people within it.
I prefer working with Direct Recruitment because of the individual attention you get from the recruiters. My consultant's taken a lot of time to get to know me, what my strengths and weaknesses are and what I'm interested in, rather than adopting a scatter gun approach and hoping something sticks. She's been an excellent sounding board when I've needed an independent view on my career and the opportunities available to me, and I feel she's always offering advice that's about me as a person, rather than just trying to talk me into filling a role.
Stephen Bisset, Planning Director
Over the years the girls at Direct Recruitment have consistently offered a tremendous level of help and support, taking the time to understand the type of role that I would enjoy, and (with unerring skill) finding it. Their approach is a wonderful combination of friendliness, professionalism, efficiency and cheerful enthusiasm. The industry would be a poorer place without Direct Recruitment.
