Candidate Testimonials Back to main Candidates Page

Recruitment is a people business. It's about relationships as well as skills. That's why at Jean McGhee Recruitment, we take pleasure in getting to know the many applicants who come in to register.

And that explains why it is so rewarding when some of them are later kind enough to take the time to express their appreciation. Here's what a few have written:

• “Thank you so much for being so helpful. I am very excited about starting my new job. Thank you again for helping me find it."

• "Thank you very much for all your help and support over the past few weeks. Your kindness is much appreciated......"

• And we received this happy snap around our front door nameplate from two of our lovely ex-temps who met when we placed them with an Edinburgh client. “We don’t live in Edinburgh any more,” they wrote. “But we were up last weekend and we thought this’d make you laugh!” The Reason? “Seven years ago you placed us at ...... on a temporary contract there. Well, we’ve just got married! So thank you very much Jean McGhee!!! All the best, K&R”

• "Just a note to say thank you very much for putting me forward for..... and for your work towards securing me the position. If any friends follow me to Edinburgh I'll definitely tell them to get in touch with you!"

• "Thank you all for your help and good humour over the last couple of months. Job-searching can be a daunting prospect but my enjoyment of the Summer has been enhanced by the support I received from you. All my encounters with Jean McGhee Recruitment have been most pleasant. I would certainly recommend Jean McGhee Recruitment to friends and family members looking for employment in Edinburgh. I wish you all the very best in the future."

• "I just wanted to say a BIG thank-you for all your hard work, professionalism and enthusiasm. You guys rock!"

• "You got me the job at........... I just wanted to let you know that I am so happy here - it's the best job I've ever had! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. There were so many agencies who couldn't be bothered working my CV.... Anyway, I'm so happy, and I have to thank you for that."

• "Thank you for all your support...... When you're temping, it's great because you're always going to new places, but you're never sure where your money will come from. So I just wanted to say a huge thank you for being so friendly and looking after me so well."

• "I would like to sincerely thank yourself and all the staff at Jean McGhee Recruitment for their time, help and encouragement that they gave to me when I registered. Having dealt with other agencies, I would have to be honest and say that you are the best at what you do. Please forward my thanks and best wishes to all in your office. Your assistance was and is appreciated. Thank you!"

• “The minute I walked into your office to register, I immediately felt like one of your team. Your smiling faces and cheery personalities made me feel like a person rather than a number. This is a quality hard to find in other agencies, so you should all be congratulated...

• "Hi Guys. Wanted to say thanks to you all for your help in my time of need. You've been by far the best agency I've had contact with in Edinburgh."

• "Thank you for all your help over the past few months in finding me work. I have recommended your agency to several people as I have been so impressed by your friendly attitude and great efficiency in finding me pleasant temp assignments."

• "All the staff in your office are so friendly and helpful and I have highly recommended you to a couple of friends who have just arrived in town. Thank you once again."

• "Just to say a hearty "Thank you" for all you've done for me in recent weeks. I have spent much of the last year dealing with various agencies from Dublin to Warsaw and I can only congratulate you on the way you do things - your personable, professional approach to this somewhat transient business is exemplary."

• "A big thanks to you and your staff for all your help over the past few months. Having worked with some pretty dreadful agencies in my time, it was really nice to be treated like a human being, paid well (and on time!) and all in all, feel really well looked after."

• "In this day and age and with so many recruitment agencies in Edinburgh, it was thoroughly refreshing to find one that actually seemed like they cared. Everyone was nothing less than friendly and courteous at all times.......... and you certainly produced the goods. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone I know who may be on the lookout for a new job."

• "Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity you have given me here in Edinburgh. I can't thank you enough for your wonderful support and kindness."

• "I just want to say a huge thank you for getting me work and looking after me so well! You have made me feel very welcome........."

• "I usually find registering with agencies quite a long and daunting process but you all made me feel very welcome and relaxed. Thank you."

• "Thank you all so much for the help you have given me during my time as a temp. It's nice to feel you're more than a number!"

• "I can't thank you enough for all your help in finding me a great job with a great company. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know in the future."

• "Just a note to say thank you for everything you've done for me over the past couple of years. You've given me some fond experiences in Edinburgh."

• "A little belated, but I wanted to thank you for all the work you put my way over the last six months. In all the time I've been temping, I've never come across an agency that was so kind, helpful, professional and sincere. It was fun working with you. Thanks and good luck."

• "Many thanks for all your help over the past few months. I thoroughly appreciated the weekly calls and personal touch the company offers. Having had contact with a number of temps from other agencies, I am now completely aware of - and grateful for - the fact that I really couldn't have done any better than Jean McGhee Recruitment! My heartfelt thanks for this........."

• "I have spent most of my career in the Customer Service arena, so I know good service when I come across it! I'm a great believer in letting people know when they are doing a great job, as I know how good it feels to get a pat on the back for a job well done. It's very reassuring to know you are all there if ever I need help."

• "I had visited many recruitment agencies before I stumbled upon yours and feel I must congratulate you on your whole outlook. Other agencies I visited made me feel like just another number on their books, whilst you showed that each person who walks through your door is individual and that you wanted to meet their needs, not those of your own. Once again thank you for making me see that a new career may just be round the corner and with your help I hope I find it.”
