About two hours later ,she phoned again and had already matched my qualifications and experience with one of her clients and an interview was arranged.

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

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.
