A huge thank you to Lucy Timmins at Better Placed for going above and beyond my expectations and helping me secure my dream role! Lucy truly went the extra mile to check in with me at every stage, ensure I felt equipped and offer words of encouragement. I can’t thank her enough, she is incredible!

The first time I’ve used an agency and Jess made it such a positive experience. She communicated really well throughout. I felt listened to, supported and encouraged. She made applying for the role a really straightforward process for me, gave timely & regular feedback, and negotiated for the salary I wanted. Would definitely recommend.

Jess at Better Placed Recruitment was fantastic. When she reached out to me with a role that she thought would be suitable I was a little unsure at first as I was not looking for a new job, but she had matched what they were looking for with my experience and having completed my first week in the job I can happily say she was spot on. The company and role is brilliant and I am very happy that she contacted me with it. I would recommend Jess, she is the most genuine and thoughtful recruiter I have encountered.

Moved across from South Africa and started applying for jobs before I moved over. Applied for a job through Better Placed on LinkedIn and was in contact with Jess. Jess was incredible throughout the entire process from start to finish. Called me within a few hours of applying (on a Friday evening even) and set up an interview for first thing on Monday. Entire process from introductory call to signed contract took only 6 working days (doing 3 additional interviews with the company). Jess "held my hand" throughout the whole process and even went as far as coaching me for the interviews ahead and providing more than enough information to ensure that I was thoroughly informed. She was constantly available for any questions I may have and communicated more than adequately. Once signed, she went as far as helping me figure out what documentation I needed to apply for an NI number. Jess turned a usually stressful process into a "walk-in-the-park". Thoroughly recommended her and Better Placed.

After applying for a role through BPR a few months ago, my details were kept on file. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I received an email from Louisa Guy regarding an opportunity based in Leeds. From the point of applying and the initial phone call, through to the interview and job offer, she was nothing short of fantastic. For what was my fastest 'application-to-offer' journey to date, Louisa ensured that I was updated with any developments with my application, and even checked in to see how my first week went. She was quick at responding to my questions, and helped communicate any concerns or queries I had to those at the company in question. I couldn't recommend BPR enough, especially if Louisa's handling your application.

I’ve always felt like I’m in good hands at Better Placed recruitment and particularly with Beth Rollin. She really goes above and beyond and is always working on great opportunities. I couldn’t recommend getting in touch with her enough if you’re looking for your next challenge :)

From our first conversation, Beth has been exceptional. She's taken the time to understand me and my needs and helped me secure an exciting new chapter in my career, One I might not have explored if it wasn't for Beth being so friendly, encouraging and supportive. Every phone call and communication has been a pleasure and she has always gone above the extra mile. Thanks Beth! I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Beth Rollin was a fundamental part of my job search experience, using her kind and determined personality to help achieve what is best for the client, but mainly the individual. I would not hesitate to contact her again in the future for recruitment help and I can honestly say that she is one of the best recruiters I've had the pleasure of working with. I can only hope to work with her again in the future!
