As an Internal Recruiter the most important thing for me from an agency is that they understand what we’re looking for from a candidate; that they focus on quality over quantity, JPA consistently achieve that.
I find them consistent, enjoyable to work with and cancellations are minimal leading me to believe they sell our company well, qualify, confirm and re-confirm with their candidates.
Having made successful placements here, we see ourselves having a long term business relationship with JPA.
The relationship between Venn Group and JPA has been a long and fruitful one. It continues to be so for one simple reason: JPA provides us with candidates that suit us.
We, like many others, look for candidates with certain attributes that will thrive in the Venn Group environment. JPA’s success with us comes through their ability to identify these in future Venn Group people, the way they then sell Venn Group as an employer of choice to them and the attention they give in briefing them properly for our interview process.
I have been dealing with JPA now for over a year and in that time they have assisted in the recruitment and selection of some of the key consultants for the Leeds branch. I found that while I have been dealing with Ashlene Rafferty she has taken the time to understand what the business was all about and what type of people we needed to fit well into our business. With this proactive approach to finding the right people for my office we have now got a team of people in place who are exceeding all branch and business objectives and looking at progressing their careers to the next level.
Having used JPA for many years we have found their approach to providing candidates very professional and honest. Our recruitment needs are constantly changing and JPA has accommodated all our changes and continue to supply high calibre candidates to us. We have found their consultative approach has meant they fully understand our needs and their speed in providing candidates has meant that we have been able to fill our vacancies very quickly.
We have always found JPA to be honest, enthusiastic and professional in their approach when providing candidates and have succeeded where many others have failed.
I have found Ashlene of JPA to be professional and passionate about firstly understanding our needs and secondly briefing us in detail on all candidates introduced. Ashlene took the time to meet with myself and a co Director to truly get to grips with the culture, working environment and commercial expectations, from that point on the service has been exceptional. I have no doubt that JPA will be a key business partner in our continued growth plans moving forward.
The brief we gave JPA was a demanding one. In a radically new business arena, we needed to build a sales team which combined the energy levels of media sales with the consultative aspects you'd expect in bespoke software sales. JPA's consultants conduct themselves with professionalism and integrity. With their enthusiasm and dynamism, we had our team in place ahead of schedule".
"I would like to express my thanks for helping me fill my role for our Receptionist. I found the services of J.P.A very efficient and prompt.
I also found that your agency matched my spec very well with the candidate, Catherine Cooke. Catherine not only had the correct skill-set for the role, but her bubbly & enthusiastic personality shone through when she met with both the Sales and Marketing Director and myself. Catherine is a delightful candidate and after having seen in excess of 25 candidates for this role, I was very pleased to have found Catherine through your services.
I had not heard of J.P.A before but would love to continue working with you in the future as I am sure that you will provide me with an excellent service as you have done so far. ".
“I have worked very successfully with Kat at JPA over a key hire at the Eurostaff Group. I found her to be honest, efficient and fun to work with. Crucially, she did not waste my time by submitting poor, unqualified candidates and I would have no hesitation in recommending her services. ”
“The Energy Saving Trust has used Flexworks when recruiting marketing staff – Our Flexworks account manager has a good understanding of our needs and our culture. The staff at Flexworks are professional and a pleasure to work with, and have always sent us high calibre candidates. As an organisation they have a strong customer service ethic and always respond promptly and efficiently to our requests. ”
“Dennis has consistently provided the CBI with high calibre admin candidates. We can rely on Dennis to understand the Job Description and the brief we send him and to provide us with the type of people we are looking for that fit into our organisation.
We trust Dennis’ judgement and always take his character summaries and other information on board to help us make decisions on whether or not to see a particular candidate. In most cases Dennis is 100% accurate and we have permanently employed four fantastic administrators since the beginning of the year, thanks to Dennis.
In the future we are looking to move towards a PSL and would definitely have Flexworks on the top of this list if it meant working with Dennis.”
“Dear JPA - thank you for your help recruiting Victoria for us. The candidates sent by JPA were consistently the best that we received and I felt you had a real grasp of what type of person we required; professionally and personality-wise. She is a very good culture-fit.
The process was managed very well and I found JPA a delight to work with; any agencies that I deal with are far too pushy and aggressive and also send me a lot of unsuitable CVs - in this sense JPA far exceeded expectation.”
“I have been working with JPA in their Leeds offices to assist us in growing our business and have received an excellent level of service. At Quantica Search & Selection we set demanding criteria and JPA have successfully placed at consultant and management level across our offices. They provide thorough interview notes prior to us meeting candidates, who have also been equally well briefed about our organisation, resulting in both a culture and capability match. Honest feedback has also been consistently provided to us throughout, thereby assisting us with our decision making. Testament to their professionalism and ability is the fact that I have actively recommended their recruit to recruit services to my own network across the industry.”
