Candidates Who Think We're Great

Hi Amy,
 
Just a quick note to say that the new job is brilliant, my first month has flown by! I wanted to say thank you for all of your help when finding me a job. I signed up with you and less than a week later I had my perfect job! I had been looking for a new job for nearly a year, and other agencies just didn't do what they said they would. When I met you to go through my CV you helped me realise I did have the skills I needed to get the position -and gave me the confidence to go through with the interview, that you had organised for me, and finally to get the job! I can't thank you enough for all the amazing help that you gave me - and even more the "first day cake" which went down a treat with my Department!

Katie, Legal Secretary

Dear Amy (and all the team at Benchmark!),
Thank you for the scrummy cake you brought in yesterday; needless to say it has been devoured by everybody and was especially gooey and gorgeous! And thank you all so much for your help in finding me a new job.  You were far more active on my behalf than any other agency has been - so a huge thanks once again! Genna xx

Genna, Administration Officer

 
Hi Amy,
I can tell, based on every facet of your business that you strive to separate yourself from the typical recruitment agency status quo. This is obvious from the language you employ on your website, the tone of your print material, and of course, the distinctive use of text messages as a communicative tool. However, so far, I must cite Tom as a key feather in your cap. Further to the brief meeting we had yesterday, I must praise his conduct. A genuinely warm and professional consultant, who I must add, explored my CV with a level of thoroughness I have never before experienced with any other recruitment agency. Curiously, he even had me surprised at the number of skills I have accumulated over the years, as he walked me through my professional history with impressive attention to each minor detail. I am sending you this email because I like to give praise where it is deserved. I find that far too many people are quick to highlight the bad ahead of the good. Furthermore, having worked with new businesses in the past, from a branding and delivery perspective, I know how valuable impartial feedback can be to the business’ owners/directors. In conclusion, I look forward to working with Benchmark in my pursuit of an ideal placing.

CK, Creative & Digital

 
Benchmark,

I would like to thank you for all the support you gave me whilst searching for employment.  Your rapport with your clients/customers is second to none.  You always went that extra mile by keeping in touch with me and keeping me up to date on the job front, even sometimes late at night. I would also like to thank you for the card you sent me wishing me luck in my new job. I think your company is the best recruitment agency I have ever dealt with, giving excellent customer service at all times. I would like to express my gratitude to your company and to let you know what a valuable employee to the company you are. Thanks once again for everything.
 
Lisa, Office Support


Friendly, professional, astute, experienced, dedicated, helpful & easy on the eyes - the list goes on & on! They got me a cracking job after just TWO WEEKS! I had signed up to virtually every recruitment agency in Sheffield and they were the only ones that regularly rang with positions, feedback and helpful information. They even went as far as to provide invaluable insight, on not just the role & company in question, but on the interviewer(s) and type of interview you could expect. Their job descriptions are invaluable, as are the 'helpful tips & information' sheets that they provide, particularly if you are new or inexperienced to this job hunting lark.  The girls are cheerful, willing to help & a pleasure to work with. They are most certainly set for great things, especially if they keep on pushing those benchmarks! Cheers guys!

Paul, PR Account Manager

 

Louisa,
I feel it's very easy to write to companies with complaints towards services received, yet when a good service is delivered, we aren't as quick to write in explaining so! On that note I felt it only right that I express my gratitude towards both yourself and Rachal for what I feel to be a second to none service, especially in this current climate where I can only imagine how busy you must be! Taking this into account, Rachal has always made me feel welcome to call and has taken that extra step in customer service where it can be lacking in some organisations and has delivered a professional yet friendly service every time I have made contact.

Jane, Accounts Manager

 

Louisa and the BM team,
I can't say anything better for Benchmark! Everything has been dealt with at a very high level, and to receive advice from one of the Directors before my second interview was really helpful. Thanks for all your help guys, it's been very much appreciated!

Lynn, Office Manager

 
Hi Amy,
Just wanted to drop a line to say that Benchmark have excelled in their ability to assess the skills I posses, and not trying to attribute them to positions that were of no use to me. The end result is that I have now, quite simply, found a company that I love working for!

Ed, Sales & Marketing Manager

 
Tom,
I would like to say a massive thank you for everything you have done. You are an asset to Benchmark as you are without a doubt the first Consultant I have met who does the job as it should be done. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending both Benchmark and yourself to anyone who wants to change career.

Philip, Sales Executive


Hi Siobhan,
I would like to thank you for the work you all did to help me find a new career, I feel that Benchmark excelled in helping me because of the time you took in listening to what I wanted from my new career in my initial interview. Please feel free to use my name in your leaflets etc as I am a very satisfied customer and would use Benchmark again if necessary in the future, and would also recommend your company to others I meet who are seeking help finding suitable employment.
 
Richard, Technical Administrator


I could write a book about how good Benchmark are, but unfortunately I don't have time as they've just found me a job! They're friendly, helpful and show a genuine enthusiasm towards finding you the right job. They listen to what you tell them and take the time to find out about YOU, not just what’s on your CV.  If you want to have your time wasted by recruitment consultants who can't even remember what kind of work you're looking for, use the high street ones. If you want to have a group of dedicated professionals work hard to find you the job you want, go and see the lovely girls at Benchmark - you won't be disappointed!

Harry, Account Manager


Benchmark,
Just thought I'd drop you a quick line to tell you how things are going here. I've just come out of a 30 min massage session paid for by the company and taken during office hours - all in the name of employee satisfaction! On Friday at 4pm we all downed tools and had a couple of beers, bought for us by the Directors. I can't help but wonder if maybe this role isn't salaried, as no-one could ever get paid for this kind of job... it's a dream come true! All in all, I wanted to thank you all for your help and support during a very difficult period for me, but you resurrected my self confidence and made me realize that I am worthy of working in a company as great as this. I wish you all the success in the world, but you don't really need any help with that! Love to you all

Cherie, Office Manager


Louisa & Amy,
Thank you so much for putting me forward for such a dream job! Also, thank you for the lovely card! I will recommend you to EVERYONE, as you are certainly the best agency in South Yorkshire- if not the world! I really appreciate you putting me forward and I want to assure you that I will work my socks off and thoroughly exceed their expectations! You are simply the best,

Cheryl, Office Support

 
Dear Louisa and Amy,
I wanted to wish you both a wonderful weekend and to thank you both for all your hard work, support, encouragement and enthusiasm. You found the best opportunity for me and I really appreciate it. Out of the various agencies I have approached in my job search you have been by far the best and most reliable. You not only found me a great opportunity but you also helped keep my spirits up at a very challenging time. Thanks and warm wishes,

Suzanne, Client Account Manager


Dear Amy and Louisa,
I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you so much for all your help in finding me my new job, I couldn't have done it without you. I do have to say the time and effort you put into helping me identify what would be right for me was invaluable and the interview preparation you did with me helped me so much, now I can't wait to start my new job and do you both proud. I will definitely recommend your services to anyone I know looking for work. Thanks again.

Lucy, Office Administrator

 
Benchmark,
I am continuing to recommend you though as I am so impressed with the time that you took with me and how easy it is to communicate with you. I have passed your recent hot jobs alert to another temp and passed your name to a colleague who has a friend looking for work and will happily continue to tell anyone and everyone about your agency, employers as well! All the best

Rowena, Charity Support Worker

 
Hi Benchmark,
Just wanted to express my thanks to you for assisting me in getting the position! I have received all the necessary paperwork from Michael and he phoned me on Monday to confirm everything. It such a refreshing change from my current place of work - communication! I will be starting at 8am on Tuesday so looking forward to seeing you there. Thanks again

Eilis, Receptionist


May I thank you for the opportunity you gave me with my interview and I would like to say I have recommended others make a note of your company as I found your working practises very refreshing compared to most of the agencies I have had dealings with. Many Thanks.

Cheryle, Account Manager


Hi Louisa

Thank you so much for all your help. I have come a long way in the last 5 years, since my mum passed away and my husband left, its not just a job, but a huge personal achievement and I am extremely grateful for the support you have given me. Roll on Monday; I am so looking forward to turning the corner at last. Thank you again.
