-
Thank you to Bethan for helping me with our recent Technical recruitment. Bethan has been a pleasure to work with and consistently worked in a professional, proactive, and positive manner. I would recommend Bethan to anyone who needs help with their recruitment needs.
-
Beth not only kept communications and arrangements clear, but did so with an incredibly supportive and caring attitude that I have not experienced when dealing with other recruitment agencies in the past. Beth was there at every step with information and support, doing everything to make sure the process was smooth and as stress free as possible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Yolk recruitment and would gladly work with Yolk again.
-
When I first spoke with Phil the feeling was completely different, and after an in-depth chat about my past experience and what I wanted from my next role, we immediately put together a plan. His extensive knowledge of employers in the region and the nuances of their hiring processes was of great help to my search and taught me a lot.
-
After finding myself in a position looking for a new role, I began getting calls from countless other agencies who often half-heartedly tried to sell me a job outside of where I was looking geographically, and some of the time the job itself didn’t even exist. My experience working with Phil and Yolk Recruitment has been the opposite and it was professional, friendly and crucial to advancing my career to where it is today.
-
I want to thank Hannah Phillips at Yolk Recruitment for securing me an Engineering role! Hannah has given maximum effort in preparing me for the interview and also keeping me up to date at all times. She has been very helpful and supportive and she also managed to arrange for me a week off between employments! Phil Pitman has also been very supportive and helpful.
-
I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Andy and Josh for their tremendous help and encouragement to me in finding a new position due to my relocation to Wales. They both took so much time and effort to find the correct position and showed great patience and care to me personally. It felt like I was dealing with my two best friends. They showed both true professionalism and encouragement throughout the whole process.
-
I've completed my first week in my new company and would like to say a massive thank you for helping find me this position. I am grateful for all the help you have given me in the interview process and how you were always available and your advice was always helpful. It has been a pleasure working with Yolk Recruitment and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or work with you again in the future. Thank you for everything!
-
Thank you Phil for all your help and support with Engineering recruitment, your continued efforts are hugely appreciated. You’ve been a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to our paths crossing again!
-
Phil is a true professional, someone who is driven and passionate about achieving the best results for his customers. Phil has always gone that extra mile and has always updated me at regular intervals, this has been reassuring especially through Covid. I can’t speak highly enough of my successful experience with Phil, someone whom I would highly recommend.
-
Phil is a true credit to the recruitment industry in many ways, and is truly a 'people person' in every sense. During a difficult time in my career, Phil was of great support and comfort, even ringing me to see how I was getting on when he had nothing available. Rather than just a number, Phil made me feel valued and displayed true professionalism. A top person who receives my highest recommendation, and a credit to Yolk Recruitment!
-
My experience with Phil as a recruiter has been exceptional. I couldn’t be more impressed with his approach. He is someone who understood my ambition and has gone the extra mile to help me achieve my desired career. Phil has brought professional advice at all stages of my employment and has helped open doors for my progression. I highly recommend both Phil and Yolk recruitment.
-
I had a brilliant experience with Andy Jones from Yolk Engineering. Professional, informative and always quick to answer any questions. He found me a perfect match with the company I am now in.Highly recommend Yolk Engineering and thank you, Andy!
-
Yolk have been instrumental in the successful delivery of Renold’s growth ambitions in 2016/2017. The quality of candidates presented to us by Yolk is far higher than we previously received from other agencies. Now I don’t even need to see the CV to arrange an interview and I can’t remember when I didn’t make an offer to someone I’ve interviewed. The team at Yolk have always filled us with the confidence that they can deliver – and they do!
-
Having already worked with Phil and his team on permanent recruitment projects, it was a no-brainer to turn to Yolk when we had a need for a temporary team of Production Operatives. Relying on their recruitment knowledge and processes has been incredibly important when getting the new team recruited, on-boarded, and the financial and legal admin sorted immediately. We can’t recommend Phil and his Engineering recruitment team enough.
-
I'd just like to thank you for Phil and the team at Yolk for helping me find my perfect role with such a fantastic company - the advice and guidance you have offered through this process has been second to none and I feel that your approach has been completely informed with no frills or false information in an honest and well intentioned manner with complete professional management of my expectations.
-
"I have worked with recruitment companies for 30 years. I can honestly say Yolk are the first recruitment company to really listen to our requirements, understand our culture change programme and rapid expansion plans and to deliver on the brief. A no nonsense, added value approach."
-
"From the very first phone call Phil was very friendly and easy to get along with. He laid out his plan for me clearly and put me at ease that we'd find a job fairly easily. Phil was in constant contact with any news and gave out very good advice on what to do at the interview stage. I wouldn't hesitate to use Yolk and Phil again if needed and will be recommending to friends if they are looking for work."
