Just a quick email to thank you and the team for supporting me in my job hunting. With the support of your team, I found the whole process very easy and successful – I am pleased to say I have settled in well at XXX quite quickly and look forward to a successful career here.
Wow, wow and wow – After SDW was recommended to me by an ex colleague who I worked with years ago, I never thought that they’d work so hard and quickly to secure me a job back in the industry I have always loved but had to leave a number of years ago. They seem to know everyone, and so proactive – thank you again 🙂
I really appreciate all the support SDW have given me in my search for a new job, so a massive thank you to the whole team! I’m so excited to start my new job 🙂
I am looking forward to starting my new role. Thanks again for all your help, support and feedback throughout the process. You put other agencies to shame.
I was a little sceptical at first with a pay up front recruitment service, but SDW’s eRecruit solution seemed to fit our requirement and budget perfectly. SDW took the time to understand our company and the requirements of the role & the experience we were looking for and then went to work. SDW presented a number of very suitable applicants, all with the relevant experience, managed the whole interview process in which we successfully recruited.
The knowledge & professionalism that SDW consistently demonstrate is unsurpassed. This, along with SDW’s ability to understand our requirements & tailor themselves to our needs, combines to create an overall level of service which no competitor has been able to get close to matching.
SDW remains our first choice for recruitment. We have worked with nearly all the different specialist agencies over the years, all which promise the world but fail to deliver. SDW offer a full consultative service, ensuring that our expectations are realistic and in line with market – they deliver every time and we certainly won’t be looking to use anyone else.
Having never dealt with recruitment agencies before SDW, I was a little apprehensive when Kay contacted me about a position she thought was suited to me. However Kay kept me fully informed throughout the process from interview to start date, she was professional at all times and a pleasure to deal with.
ECU Line have been working with SDW Recruitment for several years now and they remain our first choice partner in the Recruitment Market. We find the service provided by SDW to be professional, personal and specific to our requirements with the in depth knowledge they have for the Shipping Industry.
UTi (now DSV) have utilised the services of SDW for almost 10 years now, in which time they have never failed to deliver an excellent service. SDW has a great understanding of the freight industry and the Consultants take the time not only to understand the role we are recruiting for but to get a good feel for our company and values.
