“A&Y is our professional recruitment consultant and we've been really pleased by the service they provide. Always the best!” |
Recruitment Officer, Khatib & Alami - Multi-disciplinary Architectural & Engineering Consultancy (International) (Feb 2010) |
|
"Allen & York have provided an excellent service in recruiting two new members of staff for us this year. We have been able to fill our posts for highly specialised staff for our growing environmental consultancy. Large numbers of applicants were sifted through, and phone interviews were arranged on our behalf. This saved time, and I felt confident that our specific needs were understood and the style of our company was portrayed to prospective applicants. By the time interviews took place, we had a range of suitable applicants to choose from.
We are delighted with our two members of staff and will not hesitate to use Allen & York should we wish to expand further." |

“Our Recruitment Consultant has always delivered the right candidates for my roles. Even with the most stretching brief, he has always found the right fit and personality, knowing instinctively the combinations of skills and experience that would be right in role. This means he not only has a detailed knowledge of his candidates but also puts in the hard work (research and an understanding of people) to know his business. As a result, over a long period of time, I have built teams in 3 companies using Allen & York, and recommended them to my peers, confident in the knowledge, Allen & York are the first choice in this field” |
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) (August 2009)
|
“Allen & York supported BPS as an approved recruitment supplier within the Environmental arena. The Recruitment Consultant we work with has always proved to me to be the best Environmental recruiter in the UK market by a stride. His network is extensive, his business ethic is unquestionable and his technical knowledge of his market sector means he is an asset to the team and makes working with him easier and faster than with his competitors” |
BPS (August 2009) |
“Over the last year my consultant has shown a real desire to understand our business and as a result we have always felt confidence with the candidates he has presented to us. His client relationship skills and his honest opinion is something that I have really valued while working with him” |
BP (June 2009) |
“Our new employee has been with us for 4 weeks now and she has been great. I would like to thank you and your team for your help in finding her. It is a fine reflection on the specialism of your team that while our regular recruitment partners did not have any candidates for this area of employment, your team was able to provide 4 such specialised candidates within 48 hours.
This was backed up with professional and efficient work to ensure that interviews ran smoothly and the recruitment process was problem free, leading to an early appointment. I would have no hesitation in recommending Allen & York to others.” |
Hadland Care Group (June 2009) |
“Allen & York know their industry and can very quickly identify a specified number of people that closely match the search profile. Also, Allen & York have shown that they understand the client's needs and are able to adapt accordingly”. |

I have found him to show a keen understanding of the requirements of a specialist high-end consulting business and to be both pro-active and transparent in his business style. I would therefore whole-heartedly recommend him from either a candidate or client perspective” |

“My Allen & York Recruitment Consultant was extremely professional and helpful, and was actively seeking the roles that suited me. It was clear he was finding the right candidate for his clients (and not simply sending CVs of anyone remotely suitable, as seems to be my experience with most other recruitment consultants). He would regularly keep in touch and suggest good techniques for interviews and gave constructive feedback following contact with employers. I was very impressed and will be going back to him both as a job seeker and an employer in the future.” |

Allen & York Environment Jobs (Sept 2009) |

"Allen & York have been excellent in sourcing me the exact position I was looking for. The business, is attuned to finding the ideal position for the candidate and they have been tremendously supportive and efficient throughout the process. From the outset my assigned Recruitment Consultant maintained regular contact with me and she provided expert advice and guidance from the time my CV was submitted until I had accepted the position.
I had registered with a number of agencies and in some instances I have had no response or I have been offered totally unsuitable positions. In my opinion Allen & York had listened to what my requirements were and it was evident that my Consultant had researched the market well in order to find me this role instead of wasting both my time and prospective employers. I would highly recommend Allen & York to help source your needs and I will undoubtedly be using their services in the future."
