TESTIMONIALS
Herb Kim, CEO, Codeworks (Client)
"Laura brings bags of passion, smarts & integrity. It's been a pleasure working with her and getting to know her as an individual. She's a great asset to her profession and to North East England."
Philip Brown (Candidate)
"I'd like to thank Gail for all her help with applying for a new job, preparing me for the interview and her fantastic communication throughout the whole process. I felt Sharpe Recruitment provided me with the additional help and advice I needed, where other recruitment agencies seem to just pass you off as another applicant. Gail was always quick to answer my questions and provide me with the support and answers when I needed them. You can tell Gail and the team are looking to put candidate in jobs they love, rather than just closing the sale."
Neil Robbins, Managing Director (Client)
“We have used Laura on several occasions in recent years to find talented people to work at Silverbean. We have always been impressed with her personal approach not only in working with us but also in how she deals with candidates. I certainly would recommend Laura to any company looking to hire people in the North of England.”
Rob Mitchell (Candidate)
"As a recent graduate I know how difficult and frustrating it can be to get that all important first role. I have been fortunate enough get a brilliant role in an industry I am interested in. Putting any good fortune aside, I can safely say I would not be in this position without Sharpe Recruitment. They provided the guidance, encouragement and insight I needed as well took an active interest in my aspirations and abilities. I can not speak highly enough about all those associated with the company, they've been fantastic"
Scott Oliver (Freelancer)
“I first met Laura over a cup of coffee and some friendly chat. I noticed straight away that Laura was different to most recruitment agencies, getting to know the person/client one on one and personally before jumping ahead at putting them forward for any job role. The way Laura and Sharpe Recruitment work, in my opinion is the way that other recruitment agencies should take note of, strive to use Sharpe Recruitments customer service and general business ethic and morals as a model to base themselves on. To sum it up in six words - The way it should be done.”
Ashleigh Vaughan, HR Manager (Client)
“Laura came highly recommended to me several months ago, and after a quick telephone call to gather some more information about her Company it was very apparent that she took great interest in both her clients and her candidates. Laura came to see me onsite to find out more information about the Company and the positions we had available at the time.
Laura and Gail have been extremely helpful in successfully filling several roles for the Company, and I look forward to having their help on future roles. They are extremely helpful and willing to go the extra mile when required to ensure they get the right candidates. Recruitment Companies often gather a bad name for themselves, but Sharpe are definitely an asset to the industry.”
Will Ferguson (Candidate)
“Laura first contacted me when I was looking for a role in the Online Marketing sector in Newcastle. It was immediately apparent that she was very professional, friendly and more importantly, knowledgeable about the industry I worked in. She found me a new role that matched my requirements down to the ground! A pleasure to work with.”
Jason Longworth (Candidate)
“I think the point at which I met you for coffee I'd been searching for a while and it's amazing how tweaking my CV, thinking about things differently etc. made such a difference. I'd say I went from getting a return rate on my CV of 1/10 to around 4/10 applications. I think this was a combination of improving the way I searched for jobs on your advice but also having a better designed CV with skills, responsibilities, outcome focus. With the number of people looking for work just now I think you provide a very useful service, most definitely.”
Adam Clements, Chief Technical Officer (Client)
"Laura listened very closely to my requirements and brought me better candidates than many who claim to be technology experts. She took a real interest in the state of the business and thought about how various people could contribute to the company beyond what I'd written in the job specification. An absolute pleasure to work with.”
Alex Nichol, Managing Director (Client)
“After many extremely difficult and disappointing relationships with recruiters in the past, Laura was a breath of fresh air. She clearly understands the needs of a busy employer, and recognises that it's quality over quantity that counts when looking to fill specialised creative and technical roles within the digital sector. Every introduction Laura made was extremely targeted to our very specific requirements. All in all, excellent value for money!”
