Add the discipline tag to the testimonial to display it here
-
“We have used Yolk to fulfil a number of vacancies across our 2nd Charge business. The calibre of applicant delivered has always been as specified and we have had a great degree of success throughout our relationship. I would have no hesitation in recommending Yolk as a provider of Recruitment Services”.
-
"We have been using Yolk for two years for both temporary & permanent recruitment and have had great success with Bethan, Ellie and the team. Every time we need to go to market the consultants always take the time to fully understand the role and the requirements I have for the person I am looking for. The level of attention we receive regardless of the role(s) is fantastic and always put me at ease that we will have a successful period of recruitment."
-
"We have worked with Yolk for a couple of years and have always found that they take the time to understand your needs as a company. We have a different way of recruiting and the team are very accommodating and helpful, while other agencies refused to work the way we wanted. Since working with Yolk, we have had less staff turn over than when we have used other agencies. They do a great job and I have recommended people looking for jobs to use them as well as companies looking to employ."
