Principal People Recruitment

Lauren Alsop-Elsmore has been fantastic through the whole recruitment process including interview preparation, regular contact and reassurance. Highly recommended!

Don't be fooled by the good reviews, they're all from people who found a job through this joke of a recruiting "agency". Almost impossible to get hold of, the phone just rings and rings, no replies to emails or voicemails. Even contacting "freya" is impossible, not sure why the company has promoted her so many times because she has shown zero customer relation skills to me vut did try to ise long words when we conversed. If you can, avoid using these cowboys, but if you have to; take everything with a pinch of salt. Rubbish.

While exploring my next career move, I engaged with Lauren Alsop-Elsmore at Principal People and found her support to be exceptional. Lauren took the time to thoroughly understand my career history, aspirations, and personal development goals, ensuring a tailored and thoughtful approach throughout the process. Through these detailed discussions, Lauren was able to provide informed guidance at every stage, including interview preparation and potential question areas. This ensured our time was used efficiently and that I was only considered for roles that genuinely aligned with my experience and requirements. Lauren managed the process with professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication, making the transition smooth and timely. She was consistently available to offer advice and reassurance, and her support was greatly appreciated. Thanks to Lauren’s dedication and expertise, I am now in a role that truly aligns with my career goals, and I could not be happier.

Lauren from Principal People was incredibly supportive throughout my application and transition into my new role. She made the whole process easy and delivered first-class service to both me and my new employer.

I can’t thank the team at Principle People enough! I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new role, so professional, yet incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the whole process.

I can’t thank Lauren at Principal People enough for all of her support in helping me land my very first role in Health & Safety. From the very start, she was approachable, professional, and genuinely invested in my journey. I would highly recommend Lauren and Principal People to anyone looking to take their next step in Health & Safety.

One word that sums up my experience with PP - Life Changing. I have had the privilege to deal with Shelby Elson during this process and can't praise and thank him enough for the family feel support and professionalism he showed and portrayed during my process. The interaction, information and support provided was head and shoulders above any recruitment consultant I have come accross or worked with. This team and it's dynamic will certainly set them apart from the rest. Shelby has not only helped, supported and secured my next career venture but has done so for many other professionals I know. Thanks again Shelby🫶

I recently had the pleasure of working with Adam from Principal People, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Adam managed every step of the recruitment process with professionalism and care, ensuring I was represented as a top candidate. Thanks to his dedication and support, I’ve secured an exciting new position and am truly looking forward to the new projects ahead. I really appreciate everything Adam has done for me—his communication, encouragement, and expertise made a real difference. Thank you, Adam!

I was fortunate enough to work with Lauren during my recent recruitment process as I took a big step in my career. From the offset, Lauren was so helpful. She coached me through the process, ensuring that not only was I the right fit for the role but also whether the role was right for me, sending me so many helpful resources to prepare for the interview and gave me some excellent advice. We were in regular communication leading up to and after the two stage interview process with a debrief after each one. She would check in after each interview, giving me feedback but also asking for mine too. Then she called me with the good news that I had been successful and landed the role (it was also my dream job too), and I don't think I would have gotten so far without her support and encouragement. I've worked with recruiters previously, but I have to say my experience with Lauren and Principal People has been top notch. I am due to start my role next week, but Lauren has still been checking in which I think goes a long way. Hopefully I'll be in my position for many many years to come, but I would not hesitate to use Principal People again and I would recommend them to anyone looking for help in their next career move.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Principal People and particularly to Freya Lawrence for their exceptional support throughout my recent job search. From our very first conversation, Freya demonstrated a deep understanding of the role she was recruiting for and took the time to explain every detail thoroughly. She was consistently courteous and professional, especially when I mentioned that I had other offers and interviews in progress. At no point did I feel pressured—our interactions were always natural and transparent. Freya maintained excellent communication, always following up when she said she would, which stood out in contrast to many other recruitment experiences I’ve had in the past. It was truly refreshing. Shelby, her manager, was equally professional and supportive, particularly during the compliance and onboarding stages once I had secured the role. I highly recommend both Freya and Shelby at Principal People. Their professionalism, integrity, and commitment to candidates are commendable. I have already referred them to several former colleagues who are currently exploring new opportunities.
