Client Testimonials

"I have no hesitation in providing a recommendation/reference for NJR Recruitment.

From the outset, NJR have always been a really professional outfit and a company we have enjoyed doing business with. They have never over promised and have always delivered. They do the simple things that people often take for granted really well. They always listen and take on board our requirements. They appreciate we are busy so match our exact requirements to the profile of candidates available, so never waste our time. A great business that clearly knows what they are doing."

"NJR would be my first port of call for any recruitment needs. They take the time to understand both employer and candidate requirements and match them well. They listen, they are focused, it's about quality not quantity. An exceptional company, with highly skilled professionals who care."

Regional Manager
Insurance Company
"I recently used NJR Recruitment for a specific recruitment assignment, this being the first time I had made use of them.

Jon Rubin from NJR came to me highly recommended by a colleague in our Manchester office, and it was on the strength of this recommendation that we first considered using NJR.

From the dealings I have had with NJR over this one assignment, I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other colleagues or other businesses and, if they maintain the standards shown on my one assignment, they would be the business of choice for my future needs.

Specific features which impressed me with NJR include:
  • Complete focus on the task
  • Frequent helpful feedback on progress
  • An appropriate number of quality candidates identified, all of whom met the specification
  • Most candidates introduced were not already on the market
NJR’s performance on the one assignment they have undertaken for me was significantly better than anything I have experienced from their competitors over the last few years."

"Our company cares about its people and wants to ensure that anyone who joins us fits with our professional but friendly and helpful ethos.  NJR understand this and have brought us repeated candidates who will not only fill the role but also slot into our culture.

Nick is easy to work with, listens and understands the requirements and is not pushy while delivering a quality service.

NJR continue to be our number one choice for insurance recruitment."

HR Manager
Insurance and Financial Services Company
"Bringing NJR on board as one of our preferred recruitment suppliers was initially something of a gamble – we have only ever used local agencies as we believed that face-to-face vetting was the best way to recruit people.  However, I am extremely pleased that following a visit from both Nick Rubin and Donna Walker, I decided to see if NJR’s methods would really work for us – and I can only say how very impressed I, and my whole Management Team, have been with the calibre of candidates put forward, the number that were taken forward to interview, and have now joined us!  Well done, NJR and thank you."

HR Manager
Office Equipment Distributor
"We have used several specialist recruitment agencies over recent years but have been very impressed with the service we have received from NJR. Jon and Ian have taken the time to listen to our requirements in terms of skills required and personality fit for the team. It’s totally refreshing not to have been bombarded with CV’s and we are delighted with the quality of the candidate who has recently joined our business. We are looking forward to working with the team at NJR with future recruitment needs."

Operations Manager
Provincial Insurance Broker
"I write to congratulate you on your excellent customer service, care and professionalism afforded to me when considering candidates for a new position. You were considerate, forwarded plenty of candidate details that were relevant and exactly as per the specification I had proposed – allowing me the choice of who was most suitable for further interview.

Furthermore, you arranged all the interviews at convenient times, followed up on the progress and gave relevant and responsible feedback from both sides.

The net result of this detailed and comprehensive preparation is that a most suitable candidate was selected and is now contributing to the success of my division within the business.

I have no hesitation in using your service again and your business would be the first place to look when considering any future candidates for any new positions.

Once again, many thanks for your excellent support, customer service and courtesy – it is a pleasure to have worked with employment professionals."

"It was refreshing to work with an agency who take / took a proactive approach to recruitment and want to assist the individual in succeeding in finding a job whilst not having to compromise on the position.  I particularly liked the fact that we could discuss roles prior to proceeding to interview and when I turned a potential position down was not made to feel like I was wasting your time.I also like the fact that when we had an offer that you assisted in the negotiation of salary etc and were able to give help and advice on this as well.  It is also good to know that the support does not finish once the job starts."

Claims Manager
Insurance Broker
"Hi Donna, I would like to personally thank you for all your support and encouragement in helping me to secure my new position. You understood the history with the company and it was through yourself and your skills that I am in the position of great fortune that I’m in today. I cannot thank you enough, over the years I have registered with many agencies and have found some to be helpful at a basic level however my experience with you was a lot different. You helped me a lot. I was taken back at how encouraging your little texts were, they just kept me thinking positive when I was nervous and I've truly never had that through an agency contact before. I'm registered with another agency and thought they were good but now in the future I will contact you, hopefully I'll be at my new company for a long time but you will be my first port of call without hesitation! You deserve this thanks and I'll miss dealing with you. Take care and keep in touch."

NPD and Sourcing Co-ordinator

"I have had two experiences of NJR and I have to say both have been of excellent service. On both occasions I have dealt with Donna who has been a total star. NJR go above and beyond trying to get you back into work. Unlike a lot of agencies you actually get feedback from NJR if it be good or bad. I am due to start a fantastic job in a week and I would like to say a big thank you to Donna and NJR for all their help.I would recommend NJR to people and I have!!"

Supply Chain Co-Ordinator
Health & Beauty Distributor
"I had used NJR in the past to recruit staff for me when I was a Director at my previous company and the attention to detail was second to none.When I myself decided to look for other positions this year, NJR were the obvious choice for me.  Their expert knowledge of the industry and contacts opened numerous quality opportunities immediately.  I was frankly amazed at how successful the process was and this was undoubtedly down to how NJR worked on a very specific group of contacts that they knew would be exactly right for me.  Some consultants simply email your CV to an endless list of companies without any qualification.  NJR's approach couldn't be more different.I would highly recommend NJR whether you are looking for a new position or indeed if you are looking to fill a role within your organisation.  Their skill and one to one approach cannot be bettered within the industry."
