Applied for a role they had advertised on indeed only last week and I can now happily say I will be starting that role shortly having been offered it properly today. Very good communication and very quick turn around. Extremely happy and excited for the new role. Special thanks to Dave Wallace & Rob Lea who got everything sorted for me. Much appreciated both!

Great experience with Callan and Kemp Recruitment.
Initial response to application was under an hour and interview set up soon thereafter.
Follow through from call after interview from Callan to getting hired is excellent.

At one point I had 3 people from kemp all looking for the best job to suit me at once. But I have to give a special thanks to Paul who managed to seal a new opportunity for me. I had a few dealings with Paul and I ended up taking a job i revisited after a few months. Very friendly chap and he took on board my personal circumstances and made it work for me. 5/5 service from me 👍

Only took a week to get a new job in a new career. Lilly Collins was very helpful pointing me in the right direction to start my new career and had my CV sent to a potential employer a couple of days. Jack Hawkins contacted me to inform me that the employer wanted to interview me and finalise the job offer after a successful interview. They both supported me with useful information and just general check ins though the process to make sure I had everything I needed to succeed. I'm very happy with the service I received.

I had a very positive experience working with Dave. He was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in finding the right role for me rather than just filling a position quickly. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the process, and he took the time to understand my skills, goals, and preferences.

What stood out most was his transparency and guidance — he provided helpful insights about the company, interview process, and expectations, which made me feel well-prepared and confident at every stage. He was also proactive in providing updates and feedback, which is something I really appreciated.

I would highly recommend Dave and Kemps to anyone looking for new opportunities, as they make what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed.

Thanks Dave!

Received a call from David Wallace with a job opportunity in my area after previously speaking with the agency about work.
After a quick chat he set up an interview with the employer and five days from the initial call I was offered the job.
The whole process was very easy and not drawn out over many weeks as is the norm when applying for jobs.
Can not recommend to hem highly enough.

Jamie Hicken is your man! Any recruitment needs im glad I've had Jamie.

I have just accepted the second job over a few years now through Jamie and it's a great and easy experience everytime.

One of the only recruitment agents out there that actually listen to candidates rather then just chucking them at any role for commission!

100% reckoned and would definitely use again
