Client Testimonials
“Sarah is an outstanding professional as well as being proactive, honest, helpful and great to work with overall. From first contact, Sarah went out of her way to assist and her knowledge and expertise of the recruitment industry and market was exceptional.”
Sarah delivers time and time again. Her understanding of the PR industry is impressive, as is her ability to assist at the drop of a hat. Sarah and Clever Recruitment are an excellent support to our ongoing quest for excellent talent.
"After months of searching elsewhere, Clever was where we found success as they recently found us our new Head Of Direct Marketing. I therefore thought of them when we needed four new sales staff as short notice.....they came up trumps again! I would happily recommend their services to anyone."
Some recruitment agencies rise head and shoulders above the rest. CLEVER tops even them - professional, efficient, honest and quick-to-react they have an instinctive and competitive winning edge when it comes to matching candidates with companies. I wouldn't use anyone else and recommend them unreservedly.
I used Clever Recruitment to fill a PR Executive role and found them extremely helpful and friendly. They really listened to what we were looking for and the candidates they sent over were of a high calibre. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clever Recruitment and will certainly be giving them a call next time we are recruiting.
"Clever Recruitment are a thoroughly refreshing agency to deal with in so many ways. They are honest, efficient and professional in all their dealings. They work hard to make sure that they understand the brief properly, screen the candidates thoroughly to eliminate time-wasters and put forward the right type of people for the advertised position. We will certainly work with them again and would happily recommend them to other companies."
“We have just gone through a recruitment process to fill a new field sales position and I utilized my LinkedIn network by giving Clever Recruitment the opportunity of helping us. We had a very tight time frame to work within and Sarah immediately jumped in to action to help us find the right person for the job. Within a matter of hours Clever Recruitment were on the case and I am delighted to say that although we received applicants from a number of different recruitment companies the best by far was from Clever recruitment. Our new sales person has now been with us for three months and has settled in nicely - thanks very much Sarah & Craig and look forward to working with you again soon.”
“Clever recruitment LTD has been a joy to work with....They are friendly, approachable and always deliver on their promises. Great company - I must admit I do not like recruitment Agencies so to find a good one is priceless.”
“In the face of stiff competition, Sarah helped us to find and hire find a key employee for our digital marketing agency earlier this year. Throughout our dealings with her I found her to be efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending her or Clever Recruitment to potential new clients.”
Craig from Clever Recruitment contacted me and although I’m not usually a fan of cold calls (!) I found him to be polite, professional and very clued up on the type of candidates we needed. As the director of a company in a relatively niche sector I’ve not had a lot of success with agencies but I found that Clever Recruitment really took the time to understand our requirements. They came over to visit our offices, went through our brief in detail and organised interviews with some exceptional candidates – we ended up having too many to choose from! I would recommend them to other businesses in this area – finally someone who gives recruitment agencies a good name!
“When we needed to replace a senior member of staff at short notice we received a friendly, efficient and highly professional service from Craig and Sarah and their team at Clever Recruitment who provided us with two suitable applicants within a week of the brief. Very helpful and EXCEEDINGLY CLEVER!”
“We used Clever Recruitment to help us find suitable candidates for our PR Company. The spec was high-end luxury experience and languages, which can be hard to come up with in large amounts. However, CR managed to keep finding us exceptional candidates. Their keenness, professionalism and thoroughness were refreshing and impressive - no time was wasted and we were really happy with the service. At last a recruitment company that doesn’t try to sell all their candidates in the hope of a commission! They really seem to care about our needs first”
"Being a small but growing business we had never considered using a recruitment agency before. We were looking for a miracle person to join us to get stuck in to the development of the business as well as look after our clients. Having spoken to Sarah about our varied requirements we were delighted with the quality of the candidates Clever Recruitment sent to us and within two weeks we found our ideal candidate. Sarah has been great to deal with and unlike other agencies I have used in the past - always available to talk and respond to our changing needs. I never thought we would be talking to an agency in our first six months, but I’m so glad we did as the turnaround time has been incredible and we are now looking forward to welcoming our new member of staff to our business."
“Having managed the HR function for a fast-growing international PR agency, I have worked with a number of recruitment agencies and Clever Recruitment stands out as being extremely helpful, friendly and professional. The Clever Recruitment team has also been an amazing support to me during my own career search. From getting me my first interview within a few days with a company that was a great fit, to being proactive and helpful throughout the process. Clever Recruitment goes above and beyond to ensure they find the right opportunity to suit you and support you every step of the way. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others looking for a new role, as well as anyone in an HR position recruiting for strong talent (in fact I already have!).”
"I have used a number of recruitment agencies over the years and for the last ten months I have been managing a recruitment drive for one of my clients. I gave Clever Recruitment the opportunity to work on a few of the roles and I have not regretted it. They take time to understand the brief, give useful feedback, come back quickly and don’t flood me with lots of CV’s. I am pleased with their efforts and would recommend them to others: clients and candidates alike."
"The team at Clever works with you right through the recruitment process. They take time to get to know you, your business, your recruitment need(s) and their candidates. The result - intelligent or should I say clever - recruitment! A personable team with a professional attitude."
“I was very impressed with Sarah’s approach to us as a potential new client in that she took the time to come and visit me on site to discuss my specific needs and get a feel for the business and the type of people we employ. We keep in touch on a fairly regular basis now via email and if I ever have need of the services of a local recruitment agency Clever Recruitment is always near the top of my list. We have so far employed one successful candidate and I have to say thank you to Sarah for sticking with the search and finding me somebody with all the right attributes to fill a varied and sometimes demanding customer facing role. Well Done Clever!”
“In current times, it is more important than ever to make sure that you employ exactly the right person for your job vacancy. Sarah and Craig at Clever have done an outstanding job in translating a very vague brief and managing to pin point exactly what I was after in a very short space of time - I am extremely impressed with and very grateful to Clever recruitment for delivering as promised !"
"I have been using Clever Recruitment for a number of years. Recently I contacted them to assist me in hiring a new PA. Their service is second to none and they make recruitment an easy task for any employer. Sarah is friendly and personable and goes out of her way to ensure the service she provides is fully comprehensive. I have no hesitation in recommending Clever Recruitment to anyone who wishes to minimise the stresses involved in hiring new staff members."
