Ecology Recruitment

​We were recommended Allen & York by one of our customers, and three months in we’re very happy with the placement. Like many companies, we operate in a niche sector, so when recruiting we look for transferable skills but, more importantly, the right cultural fit. Many recruitment agencies can match basic requirements, but Billy took the time to understand how...

​Working with Allen & York has been a very pleasant and productive experience. The recruiter's understanding of our requirements was exceptional, resulting in only CVs for applicants that met our brief being forwarded on. Working in partnership with A&Y and using dual branding on adverts also worked really well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Allen & York to others.

After some deliberation, we settled on Allen & York, due to our history of working together and an...
