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.

As a Group Communications Manager for a large London company I don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to recruitment. Working with Clever Recruitment was like a breath of fresh air. They only sent me candidates that were suitable for our (quite complex) roles, organised the interviews without fuss and provided us with an excellent selection of well prepared and intelligent candidates. I would definitely recommend their service for anyone looking for a recruitment agency who can take the stress out of recruiting!

"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!)."

"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."

"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 was 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."

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!

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.

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!

"I would really recommend using Clever Recruitment if you want to use an agency that really matches people with roles. I have just been placed in a fantastic Marketing role by Clever Recruitment. Previously when I have been for jobs with other agencies I have felt that no one took the time to think about what roles would suit me and I was just another "candidate". Clever really work on your behalf and don’t make you feel pressured into roles that you don’t really want to look at. I would recommend them to any one who wants to find a role that is as individual as they are."

"Very professional, excellent communication and flexible approach. They found me an excellent job. Would recommend to everyone, for sure. Also, agents are very nice and have a personal approach to clients, which I have never experience before with recruitment agency and such attitude really helps."

"I worked with Sarah from Clever Recruitment and working with her was the best recruitment experience I’ve had to date. I felt the company was extremely professional and informative. Sarah went out of her way to ensure I was well informed and prepared for the interview and constantly checked back with me about the process of my application or about what more I could do to gain an advantage. Best of all, she is very understanding, approachable and nice! I will, without a doubt, recommend Clever Recruitment to any people I know seeking employment here in the UK."

"I used Clever Recruitment to help me find a PR Executive role and I was very pleased with level of service from Sarah right from the start. I saw a potential job on the website and within a day she had sent off my CV to the employer and I was soon called to interview. Sarah made sure I was well informed before I went and sent me thorough directions to the company premises. Throughout the application process, I felt I could approach her to answer any questions that I had and she went out of her way to liaise between me and the company. To sum up, Clever Recruitment were a pleasure to deal with, offered excellent advice and I would definitely recommend them to my friends."

I was gladly surprised about how efficient the process to get my last placement went. It took only a few days from finding the potential role to arranging the interview and finally getting the offer. Sarah has been fantastic; she kept me updated throughout the process and was very quick to respond my enquiries. I will recommend Clever Recruitment to my friends and contacts for future searches.

I would definitely recommend Clever Recruitment as an excellent agency that will find the perfect job for you. Sarah was superb to talk to; she found the perfect job for me and was always in contact with me on how the process was going making sure everything was suitable for me. I live in Bexleyheath and the agency is in Guildford but Sarah came out to see me personally which I thought was really good. It was nice to put a face to someone that gave me excellent service. I have already recommended the agency to my friends.
