I had a very positive experience working with this recruitment agency during a recent application process with a leading bank. The team was highly professional, supportive, and kept me informed at every stage of the process. Their communication, guidance, and regular follow-ups made the entire experience smooth and well organised. In my 20 years in the job market, I have worked with many recruiters, but I can confidently say that the level of professionalism and consistency shown by this team was exceptional. Thank you again for all your support,

Brilliant, 'human-touch' approach to recruitment (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Having worked with a number of recruitment agencies over the years, I can honestly say that Rothsteins is going about its business in the right way — professionally yet genuinely personable. I recently worked with Rothsteins to secure my role as an analyst for an insurance MGA, accepting the offer in February and starting in April 2026 - the whole experience was a positive one from start to finish. Will Buckner (and the wider team) were exceptional throughout. From the outset, it was clear this wasn't just a transactional relationship (although I was prepared for it to be based on experiences with other agencies) — Will took the time to truly understand what I was looking for and how that genuinely aligned with the requirements of the role. With hindsight, it was obvious he was pitching my suitability and advocating for me on a personality level to the client, rather than simply forwarding a CV and hoping for the best - despite a change of industry for me (law to insurance). As a whole, the preparation was second to none: multiple calls ahead of each stage, honest explanations of the realities of the role, and clear details of what the company were looking for. These touches meant I always felt well-informed about the role and, crucially, confident going in. Will also met me for a coffee before the interview to make sure I was properly set up and introduced — a small touch, but one that made a real difference on the day. Let's be honest, no matter how many interviews you've had or how much you've prepared, they're always slightly nerve-wracking; Will's approach, however, genuinely put me in the best possible frame of mind going into it. Feedback at every stage — including initial suitability screening — was prompt and detailed, and the team were responsive and easy to reach when needed, which I really appreciated - which is especially important when candidates are exploring other options for obvious reasons. What truly set Rothsteins apart, though, was that the support didn't stop once the offer was in hand. Will met me for drinks to celebrate, and it felt like a genuine relationship had been built — not just a placement ticked off a list and a quota met. If you're looking for a recruiter who will treat you like a real person, prepare you properly, and genuinely advocate for you with employers, I'd highly recommend Rothsteins.

I used to contract via Rothsteins. Best agency I experienced in my 12 year contacting career. Michael Rothstein was a true gent and his right hand woman Elle is a real gem

Rothstein recruitment has by far been the best agency I have dealt with over numerous different agencies, they are professional, efficient and more than happy to assist me with any queries I had. Being able to pay into my own private pension was a massive plus for me. I love the friendly approach they bring and I look forward to working with Rothsteins for much longer.
