I have been working with Rothstein Recruitment for a year now. As a 25-year contractor, I have had a fair number of interactions, both negative and positive. With Rothstein Recruitment, it has been all positive: no delays, prompt response and a high standard of professionalism. They have made my journey enjoyable, and in any concern, they have brought clarity. I hope we can work together many times in the future.

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,

Received a call about an opportunity I applied to, I was Ghosted completely. No response received after I followed up.

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 had a truly excellent experience working with Will Buckner from Rothstein Recruitment. From the very first call, Will stood out as one of the most professional, supportive, and genuine recruiters I have ever interacted with. He reached out to me regarding a position and immediately made the entire process feel comfortable and well-organized. What impressed me the most was the effort he put into preparing me for the interview. He encouraged me to give my best, shared helpful guidance, and made sure I felt confident going into each stage of the process. Throughout the recruitment journey, Will was incredibly attentive and communicative. He consistently kept me informed about updates, checked in regularly, and ensured that I always knew what was happening next. That level of transparency is rare and made the process far less stressful. I also had a holiday planned during this time, and Will went above and beyond to work around my schedule. He was flexible, understanding, and made sure everything progressed smoothly without adding any pressure. Even simple things like sending thoughtful texts to check in made a big difference and showed how much he genuinely cares about the people he works with. Thanks to Will’s dedication and support, I successfully got the job, and I couldn’t be happier with both the role and the company. It’s a fantastic opportunity, and I’m truly grateful for all the effort he put into helping me achieve this outcome. Will is not only highly professional but also an incredibly kind and positive person. His approach made the entire experience enjoyable, and he truly made a stressful process feel easy and even exciting. I would highly recommend Will Buckner to anyone going through the recruitment process. He is dedicated, supportive, and one of the sweetest and most professional recruiters I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

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
