PFJ Recruitment are very different to any other employment agency I have dealt with in the past. They are professional, friendly and very clued up on the sector which was of interest to me, IP. Nothing seemed like too much hassle and whenever I needed queries answered, I only needed to pick up the phone to my PFJ consultant. Unlike most other employment agencies, my consultant listened to my career goals and only forwarded work opportunities on to me which he knew I would be interested in. Once I had found a job, their work did not stop there. They helped pass questions and queries on to my new employer and was always happy to advise me. I cannot fault my consultant or PFJ. My experience with them has definitely been a positive, stress-free one and I will be sure to recommend them to friends and family in the future. Thanks PFJ!

Name: Hollie
1. What were your first impressions of us?
I had used pfj in the past with 100% satisfaction and so they were my first port of call when I returned from travelling. As with my previous experience they were massively helpful and efficient and within 2 weeks I had 3 interviews and really good feedback!
2. How did we help you?
Had good chats about my options going back into media, discussed different roles, and each recruitment consultant referred me to other consultants to look at varying roles. I was sent briefs and set up for interviews always with immediate feedback from my agency contact. The consultants took a genuine interest in my progression and performance.
3. What would you say to friends looking for a similar job?
I would refer them to pfj and express how efficient they had been with me.
4. What else would you like to say?
Thanks for all your efforts, I was employed within 3 weeks of coming home from my travels!

Name: Ivor
1. What were your first impressions of us?
I have worked with pfj a couple of times over the years and my impression of them has always been absolute dedication and professionalism. I am always impressed.
2. How did we help you?
On this occasions you were able to provide me with a couple of interviews for roles that were perfectly matched with my requirements. Ultimately this has led to me joining a great organisation in a role that I feel is a perfect match for me and the direction I want to take my career.
3. What would you say to friends looking for a similar job?
Contact pfj immediately!
4. What else would you like to say?
I have always been so impressed with pfj. On this occasion my initial meeting with my consultant was fruitful and helpful in terms of the role that I was being put forward for but also more general advice. But it's the fact that as I was leaving the meeting I had already contacted by another consultant with a similar role that they were recruiting for as my consultant had fed my details back to relevant members of the team. It's this team work and professionalism that mean candidates with pfj get the best possible exposure to opportunities that are available. This is especially important when many other agencies' consultants operate in silos and keep new candidates to themselves. It's not a stretch to say I always feel more relaxed and confident in my job search when working with them. So thanks again to the entire pfj team! Keep up the great work!
Name: Tom
1. What were your first impressions of us?
Professional. Consultative. Patient. Took time to listen to actual career goals. Not afraid to tell you if something was wrong for you. Most importantly they're trustworthy.
2. How did we help you?
Spent much time with me face to face identifying what goals I had. Went away to search relevant jobs rather than having a list of jobs ready that were sold to me. I didn't feel as those my skills and experience were being moulded just to suit jobs on offer. Jobs were sought that matched my existing skills, requirements and goals. They also managed my expectations realistically.
3. What would you say to friends looking for a similar job?
I highly recommend pfj. They have excellent consultants.
4. What else would you like to say?
Of all the recruitent agencies and consultants I spoke to to pfj were the organisation I trusted most. I felt like they had my best interests at heart.

Definitely put pfj on top of the recruitment list.
Name: Greg
1. What were your first impressions of us?
Very professional and we had a good chat about my background. Having been to several agencies before my main concern was that I didn't come in to have just a general chat but that there was actually a position they felt was suitable. They assured me there was and indeed I was not let down.
2. How did we help you?
You took a good brief on my backgroun and were able to match it to the vacancy you already had. Also, once my initial interview had gone through you kept a good contat between the employer and myself, helping me understand how things were going and what stage they were at.
3. What would you say to friends looking for a similar job?
pfj seem to work with some good agencies and as such are able to get you in to be seen more easily than if you were doing it yourself. Short of a personal recommedation it really helped me to get a foot in the door.
4. What else would you like to say?
pfj really made me feel welcome and I felt as if I could talk to them about the whole process, not just getting an interview but what to say in it and how to prepare for follow up interviews.

Name: Miriam
I would strongly recommend pfj as recruitment consultants. I walked into pfj on the off chance and I found them to be far more successful and professional than any other recruitment company I've experienced. pfj were quick to place me with my current employer and gave me a lot of support throughout the process. I would certainly use pfj again.
Name: Daisy
My experience of pfj's services have been entirely positive. From my initial interview with my consultant, right through to receiving my job offer and further on still right up until the start of my new position. I have found pfj to be a friendly, approachable, attentive organisation who are extremely professional at all times. I have had no hesittion in approaching them with any questions or queries in relation to my new role and he has offered welcome advice and support on various aspects of the recruitment process including interview tips, information regarding employers expectations and company profiles, advice as to what I should expect from potential employers and informatin in regards to the notice procedures required by existing employers. I feel that this guidance has in turn enabled the smooth transition from my previous role into my new role. I have been kept thoroughly informed in relation to all aspects of the application process which has enabled me to be successfully placed in a postition which matched my expectations both quickly and effectively.
Name: James
In this difficult and very awkward job market, I am delighted to say that with the advice, guidance and professionalism of PFJ Recruitment and specifically David Guy, I have landed a fantastic job role. After 6 months of 'shifting' through a mountain of not-so-inspiring opportunities, PFJ and David have more than surpassed any of my expectations.
With immediate effect, they understood my personal goals in the ideal job and in fact, introduced me to many more options and ideas of which I had not even considered before. I was impressed with the speed and accuracy of service and the quality of managing me through the whole process. Without their help, this opportunity would have certainly gone completely unnoticed. With this new job, I am now working for one of the best Business Information providers in Europe coupled with some outstanding career progression and financial gains. The initial training is superb and future courses in my sector are in abundance thanks to this new organisation and PFJ. I am also working in a whole new industry - Thanks to David, he saw the match in my skills-set and personality as a new angle for me as the candidate and for his client, my new employer.
