Kemp Recruitment couldn’t have been more helpful in securing me a new job as a service engineer.
After a quick phone call to understand what I was looking for, Rob and Dave had me an interview secured the following morning.

Both Rob and Dave were very attentive throughout the whole process making it as painless as possible.

Can’t thank Rob and Dave enough for their best efforts and support.

Our contact Beth Hills is most engaging and proactive regarding our group requirements. Beth has obviously taken on board exactly what we require and her performance to date has been exemplary.
We have experienced considerable success with the candidates we have engaged. I find it refreshing that Beth actually takes the time to contact us after candidate engagement for an update on their performance.
Many thanks Beth for making mine and my colleagues life a little easier. Kind regards Adrian TMS Group Engineering Director.

Celi and Jamie have both been absolutely incredible to deal with. I applied via indeed and Celi sent me a text message asking when would be good to catch up. We had a catch up the next morning where we discussed the role and experiences.. my CV was sent to the client and an interview was organised by Jamie.
Jamie sent all the information over and then celi Called me in the morning to catch up and wish me luck for the interview..

I had the interview, it was alright.. however I felt that it wasn’t for me however Celi was great in discussing the situation and in no way was this bad on kemps side of things these things just don’t always work out!

Highly recommended Jamie and Celi
