Kemp recruitment has been amazing throughout the job search I was dealing with Ben and someone else appolagise can’t remember his name but within a week of Ben phoning me I got a interview and accepted for the job brilliant customer service always kept me up to date

Robert C.

I applied for a job and cal got in contact with me. I never got the first job I applied for but he put me forward for another role which was perfect for me and I got the job. I can’t thank cal enough for going above and beyond and helping me every step of the way. He really did more than asked for.

Karla provided an excellent service at Kemp. Even contacted me on the morning of my interview. With a follow up call after. Very good feedback. Better than a lot of other agencies I have dealt with. And yes I got the job. Thanks Karla and Kemp recruitment.

Marius A.

First of all, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for the best recruiters that I ever deal with in my life so far, which is Ben & Celi @ Kemp Recruitment. Honestly, the service and support provided to me is second to none and just in a week time after we have changed a few emails regarding a job specs, I had the job. What else can you ask more, when after your interview, in about an hour and a half, you have a job and a deal done?! I have no words to describe these two beautiful guys, Ben & Celi, what a run we just had! Thank you so much, you have my respect and appreciation, all the way!
My kindest regards to you both 🤝🤗❤❤

I applied for a new position through Kemp Recruitment, and for someone who hasn’t been through the recruitment process for a long time, Jamie has been simply fantastic. From our first contact until after I accepted my new role she has been fantastic. Friendly, proactive and supportive in my next adventure. The turnaround time to new beginnings has been amazing. It has been an absolute pleasure and she is a credit.

Kemp Recruitment has been absolutely amazing throughout my entire job search process. From start to finish, they were supportive, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right role.

I especially want to highlight Abi, who went above and beyond for me. She kept me updated at every stage, answered all my questions, and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and her guidance gave me so much confidence. I truly felt supported the whole way through.

Thanks to Abi and the team at Kemp Recruitment, I was able to secure a great job, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding service.

There was an issue, however the matter has been resolved by the Operations manager Sam and the rest of the staff, including Matt. Very happy with the results. Looks like there was a lack of communication between A staff memberhowever everything has been resolved. Natalie, my first contact with the company was very lovely and professional.
