    This is what our clients and candidates have to say about us

    “Following a recent redundancy announcement, my line manager highly recommended Bond Williams as he had used them previously both on a personal and corporate level. I was not disappointed. They take the time to meet you face to face, listen actively to your situation and wishes before sourcing some innovative and appropriate leads. Needless to say that I have secured an exciting role at a cutting edge company which I would not have considered or secured an interview for without the assistance of Bond Williams, and Hannah Darby in particular.”

    Key Account Manager

    “A huge thank you for finding me just what I wanted. I cannot believe the speed, efficiency and professionalism you have shown in placing me into a temporary assignment. You seemed to know exactly what I was looking for and the type of job I would find interesting and worthwhile. I am so pleased I came to Bond Williams.”

    Administrator

    “A super effort and the support has been fantastic. A testament to the Bond Williams team in getting seven positions filled.”

    Hiring Manager

    “Charmaine @ Bond Williams was very pleasant, helpful and totally professional throughout my dealings with her in my search for a new role. She gave me the confidence to go for a role which I was unsure if my skills would be enough. Thanks to her I ended up getting both phone and face-to-face interviews and being offered the role. Thanks again.”

    Service Desk Engineer

    “The person we employed has fitted straight into the company and is a great asset to our business. Bond Williams has restored my confidence in the value which can be added by a good recruitment agency.”

    Head of Recruitment

    “We had previously had very poor experiences with recruitment agencies and were reluctant to employ another. Having now dealt with Bond Williams, we will continue to recruit through them in the future. The CV’s all had the required skills and experience and also matched the business requirements. The fee they charged was low compared to the time we had previously wasted recruiting for this position.”

    Head of HR

    “You are all so kind and patient, giving good advice and communicating everything clearly and easily. I especially like the personal and kind touch of staying in contact afterwards to see how things are going. You are above and beyond all other recruitment agencies and I can honestly say that I have tried them all!”

    Finance Manager

    “I have found my experience with Bond Williams Recruitment to be a smooth, prompt and professional process. We are extremely impressed with the standard of service, especially the high calibre of candidates. You really listened to our requirements and most importantly, delivered. I would happily recommend you to any employer wanting to find ‘the right’ member of staff.”

    Recruitment Manager

    “Thanks very much for your help and support in my job hunt. I felt you were the most pro-active and helpful of all the agencies I contacted and I'll be passing on your details to an ex-colleague who may also be looking for a change soon.”

    Project Manager

    “Bond Williams not only provide an efficient and professional service but are also a great pleasure to work with due to their friendly and personable approach. They 'listen' which can be a tough quality to find in many other agencies.”

    Hiring Manager

    “I just wanted to say that I found our meeting on Thursday excellent, definitely the best I have had in a number of different agencies. Your advice in terms of recruitment specialising in finance was a real eye-opener, as were your views on the company. I only wish that I had come to you first.”

    Head of Finance

    “Bond Williams demonstrate what it is to be superior service providers, and deliverers, in their field. Ultimately professional, primarily customer focussed; they take time to listen where others often don't. They offer exceptional value for money, consistency and results.”

    Recruitment Team

    “I want to thank you for all your kindness and concern that you showed me in trying to find me a job. Thank you also for the time you spent with me so that I was confident enough to go for the interview. I will never forget all that you did for me and always refer your company to anyone looking for a job because I believe that you really care about people and treat them with kindness instead of them just being a source of income to you.”

    HR Advisor

    “A huge thank you for finding me just what I wanted. I cannot believe the speed, efficiency and professionalism you have shown in placing me into a temporary assignment. You seemed to know exactly what I was looking for and the type of job I would find interesting and worthwhile. I am so pleased I came to Bond Williams.”
