I have just been offered a job that is exactly what I was looking for with massive support from Gerard from beginning to the end of the process. Gerard and the whole team are very professional, helpful and with a very easy approach. Gerard was very supportive always giving me feedback and keeping me updated. I would like to say a huge thank you for helping me to find this amazing position! I highly recommend Lighthouse Personnel to anyone job hunting as you will not regret!

From the outset, we received insightful, clear and ongoing communications on candidates and the selection process. The pre-interview briefings and extensive notes were particularly useful. On the day of the interviews, we had detailed information on each candidate, their interests strengths and weaknesses relating to the role. This was so helpful and made the process much easier.

Lighthouse Personnel obviously work hard to understand not only the role and the candidate required, but to work as closely with potential recruiters to ensure they are prepared, right for the job and enthusiastic. This is recruitment at it’s best, and we had a high-quality shortlist for interview, finding the perfect candidate for the job. I would wholly recommend Lighthouse Personnel and look forward to working with you in the future. 

Gerard was helpful, thoughtful and delivered results that have helped get the staffing our charity needs!

Having had an unprofessional experience with a recruitment agency in the past, I didn't have a high opinion of them however this is not the case with Lighthouse. I cannot fault the service and support I received from Gerard. His communication is excellent; he was always on hand for any queries I had and made contact after every step of the recruitment process. I don't think I would be in my new role if it wasn't for Lighthouse!

This was the first time I had gone through a recruitment agency to get a new job and was not sure what to expect. However, I found the process very thorough and professional and felt that they did everything they could to help me succeed in securing the job role I applied for. This included providing useful information to assist in my research of the company and ensuring I had all the required information about the role to ensure it was the right fit for me. They also kept regular contact with me, fed back any questions I had to the employer and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I felt really well looked after and was very pleased with the service I received. I would highly recommend Lighthouse Personnel Ltd.

Lighthouse Personnel have been amazing, Gerard, Paddy and Laura have all done their very best to make sure I found employment where I wanted. It took a couple of job opportunities to get to a job but they never stopped trying until I found something. All lovely people that keep communication high so I always know what’s going on. I have already recommended them to others as they were brilliant with me. Thanks to them for everything!

Massive thank you to Gerard & Paddy! They have helped me through my entire process of getting my next career move, they have been understanding & quick to respond. Could not recommend a more professional recruitment company! Thanks Guys! 

I have been dealing with Beth. Following our initial request she came to my office and introduced herself. I told her what I was looking for and after a week or so she had found Sam. We interviewed him and took him on, he is great. I can't thank Beth enough for helping me out, I now have two other positions that I have passed to her. I thoroughly recommend that if you need staff you contact Lighthouse Personnel.

I have had experiences with recruitment agencies before and have all been horrible. But Lighthouse was totally different. Amazing, professional service. So friendly and efficient. Sam was incredible. He found me a fantastic job, worked between myself and employer. He was incredibly supportive , very knowledgeable and what more can I say but thank you Sam and all at Lighthouse. Would recommend to anyone.

“Lighthouse personnel are like no other recruitment team I’ve ever interacted with. Gerard was willing to engage at a different level. Gerard wanted to really learn about me as a person and harness the potential. Thanks to Gerard I have started a new position in a wonderful project. But his commitment to coach and mentor me through application and staged interviews was phenomenal. When I received the news that I was successful in securing the position their was genuine delight for me and you could feel his pride in me and himself. Thank you Gerard and Lighthouse Personnel”

A huge thank you to Gerard and all the team, for supporting us with our recent recruitment requirements. Right from the start, the whole team were attentive and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this company for recruitment needs. Reliable and professional, thank you, Gerard and all at Lighthouse Personnel.

Without Gerard, I wouldn’t have landed my new job. He was amazing throughout, upbeat personality and had my back the whole time. Loads of information sent my way and loads of support.

Lighthouse were a breath of fresh air, the whole team were supportive and super responsive throughout the whole process. Start to finish the process was seamless and provided us with a key asset to our team and she has done wonders for our business. Could not recommend them enough! Thank you all!

Huge Thank-you to Gerard for all of the amazing support throughout the whole recruitment process. The experience was absolutely seamless, I could not recommend a more genuine, helpful & caring recruitment company.

From the moment Sam approached me, I was treated as an individual. So many agencies will just push you forward for jobs even if you don't feel the position is right for you. Not with Lighthouse Personnel, they really want to place the right people in the right role, its a two way street for both candidate and employers and that's got to be a good thing. I was always kept fully up to date with the progress of my application and interviews both by phone and email. A first class service by friendly professional staff and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to colleagues and friends. Well deserved 5*

I have had a fantastic experience with Lighthouse Personnel. Gerard has been brilliant from the start, professional, friendly and honest.

What a company ! Gerard was able to get me a brilliant job for my asking wage (which was more then stated). I was originally only casually looking to see what was about when out of the blue I received an email with an amazing job. He was able to re-create a outstanding job relevent CV by asking me some simple questions and was quick to communicate between myself and the employer. Would definitely recommend using Lighthouse Personnel if anyone is looking for a job

The people here are without a doubt the best recruiters I’ve ever worked with. Over the past three month I was contacted by many recruiters, as I was seeking for new opportunities, constant phone calls with undelivered promises. Lighthouse Personnel were the only ones who followed up as they said they would after so many let downs. They made sure they really knew what I was looking for (even though I didn’t know myself!), what my job experience meant and searched for appropriate fitting opportunities.

Got invited to their Colchester office where Gerard took 3 hours out of his busy schedule to re-create my entire CV after struggling to get past the online applications. Went far and beyond my high expectations, never lost faith in me with consistent weekly check-ups as to how I’m doing as well as putting recruitment fees aside and recommended companies who they wouldn’t get commission from, in order to find me my dream job.

Recruiters are agents and need to know their products as well as their clients needs. Gerard and Sam sure do both exceedingly well, far more than just ‘recruiters’ and I will forver be grateful for everything they’ve done for me.  

There aren’t enough words to say how thankful I am to this kind and ever so helpful bunch of people. I felt looked after from the beginning and although I was reticent of recruitment companies when I started my job hunt I couldn’t be happier for having decided to collaborate with them. Gerard and Sam made sure I was always ready for any interview they arranged for me and always gave me the most useful advice and encouraged me so it felt more like a friendship than a client-recruiter relationship- they even kept in touch out of office hours when I needed them!

They always choose to work with companies they believe in and having had an interview with one of these companies recently I obtained a position that is an amazing milestone stone in my career but none of this would have been possible without their hard work and dedication, and them vouching for me. Thank you!

Exceptional Recruiter: Sam's Support Makes a Difference! Sam's role as a recruiter left a lasting impression on me during my job application process. Despite not having the exact experience required for the role, Sam's outstanding support made a significant difference. As a recruiter, Sam went beyond the usual expectations to ensure I had a clear understanding of the position's requirements and responsibilities. He patiently explained the job details, demonstrating a genuine interest in helping me succeed in my application. Additionally, Sam's commitment to keeping my records for potential future opportunities was both unexpected and highly appreciated. In conclusion, Sam's exceptional abilities as a recruiter set him apart in the industry. His dedication to candidates and willingness to provide valuable insights create a positive and encouraging experience for job seekers. I highly recommend working with Sam if you're seeking a recruiter who genuinely cares about your success in the job market.

Lighthouse personnel are like no other recruitment team I’ve ever interacted with.

Thank you Gerard and Lighthouse Personnel

I have had experiences with recruitment agencies before and have all been horrible. But Lighthouse was totally different. Amazing, professional service. So friendly and efficient. Sam was incredible. He found me a fantastic job, worked between myself and employer. He was incredibly supportive , very knowledgeable and what more can I say but thank you Sam and all at Lighthouse. Would recommend to anyone.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Sam and he was absolutely amazing. Unlike previous other agencies I dealt with in the past, he did not pressure me to accept the interview just for the sake of it, he was very helpful and professional and always ready to help me with any questions I had about the position and was very well informed about the role and company he was recruiting for. I could not recommend him enough.

Gerard was very helpful with the whole process. It has been a pleasure to work in the company he has found for me. Definitely recommend Lighthouse Personnel.

I have never dealt with a recruitment agency before but Gerard has been superb. He is extremely professional and certainly made me feel at ease during the whole process. He thought I was the right candidate for a particular position, I had two interviews for the role and then I was quickly advised by Gerard that I had been offered the position. I was amazed as I had just started looking for a new job and it was the first one I had applied for. I can highly recommend Lighthouse Personnel and would like to thank them for such a positive experience.

Gerard assisted me with the application for my recently secured dream job, in an incredibly professional and factual manner.  I would highly recommend Lighthouse Personnel whom stand out for matching candidates, on another level to others, to suitable positions with sincere personal contact after placement. I wish them much continued success.

I worked with Sam for a role and he was fantastic. Took the time to understand my strengths & areas of improvement etc and presented me with a suitable role - the company/job interviewed were also fantastic so you can see Sam/light house personnel build a good relationship with their clients.

I recently successfully applied for a job through Lighthouse Personnel. Gerard handled the whole process. He took the time to discuss in detail what it was that I wanted from my next role. It was clear from this that he was both trying to find the best candidates for his client whilst ensuring the role was the right fit for me as well. Gerard kept me continually updated throughout. My new role has meant that I have also worked with Lighthouse Personnel to support recruitment at my new organisation, so I have had the opportunity to work with them from an employer’s perspective as well. Having seen their work from both sides and meeting other members at the Lighthouse Personnel team since, it is clear they really care about their work and I have no hesitation in recommending them to either job-seekers or employers.

“Working with Lighthouse has allowed us to continue to focus on serving our customers well and grow our business, confident that every time we’ve needed another member of staff, we can turn to them and let them do what they do best. The whole team has gone above and beyond our expectations on each of the roles they have worked on, and I know that the candidates put forward are worth seeing, because Lighthouse Personnel know what we are looking for and aren’t trying to push quantity of candidate over quality. It’s taken away all the pressure and the stress that can happen when a business grows; they understand who we are and what we need, and that being a working mum means kids are always taking half my attention in background of a phone call – and that’s all fine! They are levelheaded, personable and I trust them completely with ensuring that I have the right team around me to run our business well. I have no hesitation in recommending Lighthouse Personnel to any business who is growing their team and needs a strategic partner who really understands exactly what you require.”

I would just like to thank Gerard personally for securing me a new job. 

 

He was very helpful even went through mock interviews with me to build my confidence, contacted me the day before interviews to check I was OK and always a pleasure to deal with.

 

The whole experience was great from start to finish and I landed a brand new role with a new company that I am starting next week. 

 

Highly recommend lighthouse personnel
