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

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
