When I first spoke to Yolk they explained in full the job even though it wasn’t something I was originally looking for and off the back of this made me think this was something that had potential! After putting me forward for the job, Yolk have been nothing but supportive and very professional. I always feel like they are there to help and support and any queries that I have they've got answers for me.

"Having previously run our own direct recruitment campaign without finding the right person for our Communications & Campaigns Manager vacancy, I engaged with Yolk via the Crown Commercial Service framework for Permanent Recruitment Services. The Yolk team were responsive, helpful and able to provide us with a really strong shortlist to interview against a tight deadline, meaning we found a great member of staff without a lot of fuss. I wo...

After a 15-year military career, followed by more than 20 in the police, the thought of venturing outside of these environments was one that filled me with dread. I’d never needed a CV and selection procedures were not the same in my world as they were in the outside world – I feared I would be type cast and for that reason it was easy to stay with what I knew. That was until I took a call from the Public Sector & Not-for-Profit team of ...

Yolk's Public Sector team first contacted me about the possibility of a new role and I was dubious at first given my experiences with others previously but I experienced only positives from Yolk. They kept in touch throughout the process, and continued to keep in touch afterwards to make sure I had everything I needed. Thank you for your efforts and hard work!

I have to compliment Yolk Recruitment who stand head and shoulders above their competition in terms of candidate experience. I was recommended Yolk via a friend and from the first introduction I was treated professionally. The team took the time to really understand my background, skill-set and motivation. They asked to meet with me to discuss potential opportunities and to best match me to suitable roles. They discussed the role at Chw...

I had a great experience with Yolk. They interviewed me to get a good understanding of my background and experience and advised me of several roles that were a good match for my skills. When I applied for my current role the process was very smooth, Yolk were always very responsive, professional and friendly and they guided me through the interview and offer process to reach a positive outcome.

Yolk Public Sector join the panel for "Careers in the Charity Sector"
Cardiff Metropolitan University invited Yolk Public Sector to join their panel discussion on Careers in the Charity Sector on 28th January 2021. We were thrilled to be able to offer advice to candidates looking to apply for roles in the charity space and received terrific feedback from the University saying:
"Your presentation was hugely helpful to students, giving them positive actions they can go and do is fantastic and I am so pleased we had you as a recruiter in the mix."
Yolk help DVLA recruit specialist roles
We are thrilled to have helped DVLA recruit a range of specialist roles which they previously were struggling to fill. Via the Crown Commercial Permanent Framework, we helped to create a bespoke vacancy advertising solution for DVLA and ran a dual-branded campaign. With 100% fill rate, we were able to work within both the budget and time restraints with 4 candidates appointed.
