I cannot thank Kirsty Chan enough for her incredible support throughout my job search journey. From the very first conversation where she introduced me to the role, to preparing me for the interview and guiding me through all the required documentation, she was there at every single step. Kirsty was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely supportive and encouraging. She made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free, always taking the time to answer my questions and ensure I felt confident moving forward. Her consistent communication truly made a difference, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity I’ve secured with her help. If you’re looking for a recruiter who truly cares and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Kirsty. Thank you again for everything — I truly appreciate all your efforts! 💛

Have had a lovely experience working with Kirsty to help secure my role. Clear lines of communication and she makes sure to get as much information beforehand to ensure that the job is what you're after so that both you and the hiring company are happy with the outcome.

I’ve had a really positive experience with this agency KC Group Recruitment, especially with Kirsty. She has been very supportive throughout my job search, regularly keeping in touch and calling whenever new opportunities come up. She takes the time to clearly explain each role and makes sure I understand the details before moving forward. Kirsty is professional, proactive, and genuinely cares about helping candidates find the right position. I truly appreciate her communication and dedication. Highly recommended!

Sarah Grace was amazing. I came to her at a time of urgency due to undergoing redundancy in my role. Within 2 weeks she’s found me the perfect role/opportunity and can’t speak highly enough of how efficient, attentive and how approachable she is. Overall I’d recommend KC Group to anyone due to the level of efficiency, attention to detail and care their staff provide. Any business/individual would benefit from such high level service.

Significant Issues

I applied for a job role they were advertising directly through the website and I sent an email to the appointed consultant listed on the job advert with my CV and interest in the role. After a week I have still had no response what so ever. I understand if the job role was filled (even though its still advertising on their website) a courtesy email back just to acknowledge the fact I applied and or maybe could offer other roles they had would have been professional rather than just completely ghosting my email. Very strange as all other recruitment agencies I have applied to for jobs have always responded even if the job role was filled.

Standard agency behaviour especially solihull from my experience, call you up about a role then interrogate you about your cv nit picking making you feel worse and you just ending up having to hang up.
