"I am just writing to say how impressed
we have been with Seka over the past few weeks. She came
here initially to fill in for a short time and fitted
in really well right from the start, taking on everything
we asked her to do with enthusiasm and a smile. She learned
the processes necessary very quickly and it is difficult
to imagine how we would have managed without her. I am
only sorry that we are unable to continue her engagement
here for the time being. We wish her every success and
should circumstances change I will certainly be asking
if she is available."
"Several members of the team
past and present came originally from Active and I can
honestly say we have not regretted one of the appointments,
temporary or otherwise. You certainly give the impression
that you care about the individuals you work with and
this is appreciated both by them and by us."
"Thank you once again for your efforts
in recruiting on our behalf. I would not hesitate to recommend
Active to others looking to find temporary or permanent
staff - or indeed to individuals looking to be placed
into suitable roles."
Chris Davidge - EU Distribution Operations
Manager
Mannatech Ltd
"I feel compelled to write to congratulate
you on the volume and quality of the CV's you sent me
in relation to our attempt to fill our vacancy. All the
candidates proved to be very strong and it was a very
difficult decision to choose between them."
"You had obviously gone to a
lot of trouble in pre-vetting the applicants and it was
a credit to you that all turned up for their interviews.
As you know it is a source of frustration for employers
when prospective applicants fail to attend interviews
without any explanation."
"Once again, many thanks for your
help in our quest and rest assured you will be one of
the first we turn to should we have another vacancy in
the future."
