I hope Linda accepts and look forward to hearing from you/Geoff in due course. Nigel Mar 2008 Client Thank you (and Lucy and Natalie of course) for all of your hard work searching for our new staff members. You should be proud of Lucy and Natalie – they are doing a great job for you. Jill Moore Feb 2008 Candidate I would just like to say a big thank you to you all, for your help and support!I have just reached the end of my first week at xxxxx and I have loved it, they are such lovely people! I think its going to be a job I will really enjoy!So thank you very much!xx Jo Veale Feb 2008 Candidate Well where do I start!! I started looking for a job in Somerset back in March 2007, and unfortunately didn't sign up with Red Berry until the end of Jan 2008. I was signed up with a few (well quite a lot of) agencies, both National companies and local ones, but I had no calls that matched my requirements for what I was really looking for, which was something local, for a decent pay check... but then I signed up with Red berry, and didn't look back. I had a call the following day and interview for the end of the week... Helen was my main contact, and she is great, very enthusiastic, knows her job very well, and she makes sure that your going for a role that is what your looking for rather than what she thinks you could do. which to me, was really important because I was getting pretty fed up getting calls about roles an hour and a half away. Any way, I don't normally leave feedback for anything (apart from eBay) but felt that credit where credit's due, I'm really happy where I'm working now, and I happen to know another candidate that signed up, and before she'd even got home she had an interview lined up for the next day.. she got the job and is happy where she is too. So lots of thanks to you Helen, and all the team - who were really friendly on the phone too, I couldn't fault you if I tried!! Take care and good luck, not that you'll need it! I'll be in touch about the boxing if your still interested!! Rachel Feb 2008 Candidate I’ve been telling everyone what a good agency Red Berry is and how nice the people in the office are so hopefully you will get some more business! Melissa Feb 2008 Candidate Thank you for your time yesterday it was good to meet you and your team, I must say your agency indeed does have a better 'feel' to it than one or two others I won't mention ! From what I heard you have your business model absolutely right - Ferrari's all round next year then... Mark Jan 2008 Client Very many thanks to both you and Helen for your very prompt, professional and positive service. All I need now is for xxxxxx to love the job and be successful and we will all have a very prosperous new year. Richard 2007 Client I wish to thank both yourself and Helen for all your hard work and wish you all a Merry Christmas. Giles 2007 Client Thank you for providing us with the manpower to put the trees up and take down the flags. The lads have all been really good, and I would like to add extra words of appreciation for XXXXXX as he really gets on with the job, is sensible and bright and can copes with ladders, heights and tricky bits extremely well without moaning! I am having him back tomorrow for 2 hours to help put up the gazebos. Fran 2007 Client I met Helen Lacey at a speed networking event that Rachel Sweet from Sweet Skills arranged. I told Helen that I was looking for a PR executive and a Senior Account Executive. We have been looking ourselves for a while and had also placed these positions with specialist agencies, so I was unsure as to Helens and Red Berrys abilities to help find someone suitable. After a number of CVs and some interviews Red Berry found us the perfect candidates. I found Helen to be professional, helpful, polite and always willing to go the extra mile to help us. She was not concerned about her candidate speaking directly to us at one stage, unlike some agencies. I would recommended any company to use Helen and Red Berry Recruitment if you want the same high level of service that we received; her rates are very competitive too! Jane Atkins 2007 Client Helen first contacted me when she was door knocking back in March this year. We had 2 permanent positions that we needed filled, these where skilled vacancies and I was not sure if Helen could help. With in a couple of weeks we had a number of CV's sent over and subsequently she arranged some interviews for us. She was very thorough, always keeping me updated and the calibre if the candidates she sent over where excellent. We are very pleased to say that we took both candidates on from her and will certainly use her again when we decide to recruit. I would recommend Red Berry Recruitment to anyone who wants a first class professional service. Matt Ellis 2007 Client We at Knapp as An employer are extremely happy with Helen and the team at Red Berry Recruitment We heard of them as a result of their advertising campaign and as we were looking to recruit locally thought we would give them a try. As a result of a site visit by Helen it was soon obvious that there was considerable efforts being made to supply us with CVs for potential engineers and the candidates were of the highest quality. Within a month of our request for CVs we have in fact offered full time engineering posts to 2 candidates supplied by Helen and the candidates have accepted. In addition to this Red Berry's rates are extremely competitive. We would highly recommend this agency and have found them to be efficient and understanding to your requirements and most of all friendly to deal with. If Helen and any of her team are passing they will always be welcome in for a chat and a cuppa. Darren Hyatt 2007 Client you are always welcome to pop in when you like for a coffee and thanks again for the rapid and professional way you have delivered xxxx to us Kevin Ashman 2007 Client Helen is one of the most energetic and passionate people I know. The service that Red Berry Recruitment has offered my Company, Driving Ambition, has been second to none. All the candidates that have been put forward have been of the highest standard and well matched to our brief. I look forward to continuing the relationship between our two companies in the years to come. Sandra Pennyfarther 2007 Candidate I thought I would drop you a line to let you know that I am almost settled in here at XXXXXXXX and my new role is going well. I am still trying to get to grips with names and systems and stuff I am sure I will have it sorted soon enough. (Well I hope so) The people are fab and everyone has bent over backwards to help me settle in. Thanks again for your help and support in securing the position. Louise 2007 Candidate Thank you very much for your efforts on my behalf. You have absolutely been the most hopeful, helpful and sincere out of all the employment agents I have dealt with. Sandra Ward 2007 Candidate We...have decided to stay the week. To attend any interviews you manage against all odds to secure for me. You are so good a true professional you will clearly shine in whatever you do. Arthur 2007 Candidate From the very first phone call to Red Berry Recruitment, I found Helen to be both very friendly and professional. It's really important to talk to someone who has a real interest in helping their candidates and who takes human approach in the helping the search for a suitable new position, ensuring they match suitable candidates to clients. I found that Helen was not at all robotic and disinterested in her communication as so many other recruitment agencies are - she took the time to get to know a bit about me as a person, and also and my preferred company culture, environment and style of working. I believe this is the key to making a successful match between candidates and their new companies. I was delighted that within 2 weeks of first contacting Red Berry Recruitment I was successful in achieving my desired position of Customer Service Manager. Thank you to Helen and the team at Red Berry Recruitment, I'll definitely be recommending you to friends - keep up the good work! Emma Binning 2007 Candidate I have had a brilliant time working at Red Berry Natalie is wonderfull; someone told me she booked some one and in and when they turned up she sent them away with another appointment!!! Helen is a lovely boss and not scary at all, i would love to work with her all the time!!! Verity White 2007 Candidate I would like to thank you and your ladies in the office for the constant feedback my son and I have received over the last couple of weeks regarding our unemployment situation. By keeping in touch with us constantly, on day-to-day basis, has helped us to perk up and think positive about our situation. Its a wonderful feeling of security to know that you and your ladies have taken our situation personally. We are both looking forward to our interviews next week which you have so thoroughly organised for us, and we will have pleasure in contacting you to let you know the outcome. Thanks again for persisting to help us, we are extremely grateful to you all. Barbara and Lionel Wood 2007 Candidate I would like to thank you and your Team for all the support you have given me since I joined your agency. I would highly recommended you to anyone who like me, was new to the area and had difficulty in finding work On first meeting with yourself you found the position I am now in. Trudy Dyason 2007 Candidate I just wanted to thank you so much for your help. I can't recommend Red Berry enough - in fact I've recommended you to a friend of mine and I understand she has been in and registered with you. She had the same experience as me with another agency and it was so nice to come into your offices and be put at ease and feel as if you are worth something. Many thanks again Denise Danks 2007 Candidate It was good to meet you and your team today. I can honestly say that I have generally found recruitment agencies to be rather seedy, ramshackle and de-motivating- even the 'big' ones that I have been to in the past. Yours was a breeze; friendly, lively, professional people who get things done! It inspires confidence. Tom 2007 Candidate Great to talk with a professional instead of the usual high street recruitment consultant. Hilary 2007 Candidate I was amazed at how busy Red Berry Recruitment seemed to be, so I called them to see if they had any vacancies that would suit my "sales background". I signed up with the agency on Thursday morning, and by mid afternoon I had already had one interview with the prospect of another next week. Helen and the team at Red Berry were first class and I would heartily recommend them to anyone looking for employment in the South West. Pats on the back all round!!! James Lawder 2007 Candidate thanx for ur help and ur card if i was ever unemployed again i would always come back to ur agency cuz u r all lovely ppl and very helpful Tim Wray 2007 Candidate I believe you made this happen by allowing the job hunter to communicate directly with the potential employer which so many agents don't. Your agency is new and you are obviously enthusiastic and used your head .So many agencies just don't do that. They are too big and afraid to admit that they dont always understand the job spec. So these are your strengths. Keep it up! I think it is super to see women like you open a biz and go for it. The personal touch is the key plus you must have smarts, which you obviously have. I am not falsely flattering you. Look forward to that cup of coffee in S. Mallet. Laurena Cahill 2007 Candidate I would like to thank you very much for all your help in finding me this job, You have been very kind and worked very hard to setup my interviews,I thank you again and carry on the good work. Guiseppe Trotta June 2007 Candidate Due to unforeseen circumstances I never got to work for Red Berry Recruitment I did meet with Helen however and found the service top class. Although there were no vacancies advertised in my line of work she has never the less set out promptly to phone some of her customers and within 48 Hours an interview was scheduled for the next day. Helen offers an excellent service not only looking after the employer but the candidate too. I would definitely use Red Berry Recruitment in the future Thank you for all you have done. Gerhard Nel 2007 Candidate After speaking to Helen at Red Berry, I put my trust in her and within two days, I had been interviewed and offered the job I wanted. I would be happy to recommend her friendly and professional service to anyone, and would use Red Berry in future, should the need arise. Lorna Eason 2007
