Testimonials

 
“When choosing a HR consulting company you are looking for the following attributes:
  •  Knowledge about the market and role that you intend to fill
  •  A company who already has a wide database of potential candidates
  •  A consultant who listens to your specific requirements and understands the business that you are in
  •  A company that provides a superior level of communication and follow up
  •  A company who after the appointment is made still connects regularly with both the candidate and the employer
Focus Recruitment is ALL of these and more and I have been both a candidate and a Client. The results for both have been great. The team at Focus, especially Cherie Hill, are very professional and always go the extra mile. This business has picked up numerous awards in their industry over recent times and it is a credit to their owner and Managing Director, Tony Bishop, who is well worth getting to know. He has a very good understanding of the importance of getting your people selection right, and the difference that GREAT people make to any business. Give the team a ring and you won’t be disappointed.”

 “I went to Focus Recruitment after losing my job and I found them to be very professional.  Whilst being an expert in her work, there was also a personal touch with Sally that made me feel at ease and confident in finding another job.  It was appreciated that I was never put forward for any jobs that wouldn’t have been suitable long term.  I am now fully employed with one of Sally’s clients and the job is a perfect match for me.”
-Virginia Charlesworth, Fortress Fasteners (Candidate)
 
 
"We have worked with Focus Recruitment on two recent appointments, one of which is among the highest levels within our organisation. Out of many candidates that applied for the senior position, the two that Jessie put forward ended up being the final two from which we picked one. At all times Jessie and her team have operated and followed through in a professional manner, fielding only relevant candidates who have ended up becoming valuable employees."

"A recruiter that thinks outside the square and does not pigeon hole his candidate’s skills and abilities as being relevant to only one industry or professional sector. Passionate, Professional, Positive.
Matt always follows up and keeps you in the loop with interview feedback and current opportunities whilst you are delivering for your current employer. Matt is thinking about your career and what is the next best opportunity for you and he takes away the hassle of you having to make the time to look for employment."

“I have used Focus Recruitment for a number of years and have been very pleased with the service they offer and the high level of people they have provided me with. During this period I have employed four people for positions in my company and the long term success rate has been high.
They take all of the anxiety and time out of finding people and have only sent me people who have more than a 90% chance of being selected for the role.
They are a very professional operation and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
-Dan Ganley, Director, GFC Fasteners & Construction Products (Client)
 
 
"From the very first contact with Focus I felt this was no ordinary recruitment agency I was dealing with.
If recruitment is all about connecting people to people to obtain successful outcomes, then they are made of the right stuff.
I found Focus to have an excellent understanding of the market and it’s dynamic. They are very thorough and professional in their dealings but they still have a strong personal touch."

“I have found Sally Jane Saunders from Focus Recruitment to be very efficient and professional in her managing of my specific requirements.
I was impressed by the quality of candidates Sally submitted with the specific knowledge and skills we were looking to employ for a specialized role within our company. It is often difficult to find the right candidate that has both the required skills and can fit within your company culture and this is certainly something that we have successfully achieved with the candidate we appointed.”

“We have enjoyed working with Matt at Focus for he seems to truly understand our business requirements and how we operate as a group. Due to this he has been able to forward quality candidates for us to select from in any market. I know from proven experience that he will genuinely care that we choose the best resource for us and I trust in his judgment. I have found him reliable, pro active and enjoyable to work with.  In a market where good candidates seem few and far between, Matt has actively sought to find the people who suit not only the job requirement but also the culture we are trying to establish.”

 “Jessica was very useful and helpful in working on my recruitment back when I was looking for work. I would recommend her and Focus Recruitment as a go to company for recruitment with out hesitation. Should I require the services of a recruiter for work or personally again I would be happy to employ Jessica again to help me out.”

 “I had started giving up on the job front after searching so long for employment and I was getting no where with other recruitment agencies.
When I made that first call to Focus Recruitment I was overwhelmed with the friendly service and warm welcome that I received.
Sally Jane Saunders, my Recruitment Consultant, was awesome. She was so helpful and worked so hard in finding the right job for me. She has a friendly manner and was always willing to listen to me. She kept me updated and made me believe in myself again. For all of those reasons I will always be grateful to her.
I would highly recommend Focus Recruitment to anyone out there, they are awesome.”
