Eleanor restored my faith in recruitment companies. She was fantastic and I have mentioned her to many people since becoming employed. Si is definitely not like any other Harrogate recruitment company, I can confirm this as I have dealt with six different ones! Si didn’t over promise, patronize or lie.

Eleanor at Si Recruitment helped me to find my new position last year. My initial chat was very relaxed, friendly and honest, helping me to think clearly about my future career and what was important to me in finding the right job with good potential earnings. What really comes across from Si is that they put the emphasis on matching candidates to potential employers, which is of overall importance for both parties. I am extremely pleased with the service I received, I am very happy in my new job and will have no hesitation to recommending Si to anyone who is looking for a new position.

I didn’t feel pressurised to accept any of the work offered to me like I did with other agencies. I felt like SI had my best interests at heart and not their own. It took a couple of months for Si to find me my role but when they did it was exactly what I wanted.

Sophie Cox, Office Assistant – June 2006
I found Si Recruitment to be very professional and helpful. I was contacted immediately after submitting my CV and invited for an interview with Sharron shortly after. Sharron was very professional, always returned my phone calls and got my permission before submitting my CV to any vacancies. She ensured I had all the information I needed for interviews and provided feedback. I would definitely recommend them.
Irini Sama, Purchase Ledger Clerk – June 2006
Sharron met me within a few days of me contacting her and was friendly but professional. She treated me with discretion and empathy and provided good feedback on the employment options open to me. I was able to contact Sharron when it was convenient to me (quite often out of hours) and always received good feedback following interviews. I would have no hesitation in going back to Sharron should I ever need to and have already recommended her to a few friends.
Sally Warren, Purchase Ledger Clerk – May 2006

They advertise real jobs and provide an honest service. I would certainly recommend them to friends and colleagues
Charlotte Kruger, Assistant Accountant – November 2005
I have found the service offered by Si Recruitment to be second to none, Sharron & Mark have been excellent in the service they have provided to me in my search for that 'right' role. The speed and professionalism provided is unquestionable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for the next step in their career. Si has the ability to supply some of the best positions around to its candidates but still retains a personal approach in matching roles with the candidate’s requirements.

Tamsin Faiers, Forensic Specialist – October 2005
The service provided by Si Recruitment was very good. I was met immediately and was given very helpful and informative advice. Sharron understood exactly where I was in my career path and made some very good suggestions. She listened to what I wanted and found me a role which matched up to what I was looking for in terms of job, company and working environment. I have already recommended them to a number of friends.
Akeelah Iftakhar, AAT Accountant – September 2005
I thought the service provided by Si Recruitment was excellent. From our initial meeting I wasn’t made any false promises, but was kept informed of opportunities that had been selected to suit me on a personal level. When using a recruitment service I expect regular personal contact and for the consultant to listen to exactly what type of job I'm looking for and Si Recruitment certainly provided that. When searching for a new job, just not hearing any news or having to ring and not being able to speak to the same person again at an agency is quite demoralising. Having found me a great local job, suited to what I specified I was looking for, in a few weeks, Si Recruitment more than matched my expectations. Sharron’s speed of response to my enquiries helped me to keep my confidence high during my job search. I have recommended them to friends in the area, stressing that they seemed to take more consideration over suggesting possible jobs than other agencies would, and I'd definitely approach them first because they know what relevant opportunities there are in the local area.
Graham Webster, Accounts Assistant – July 2005
My initial interview with Si Recruitment was relaxed and upbeat. I developed a good relationship with Sharron who responded quickly to my needs.
Elize Webb, Accounts Assistant – July 2005
Si Recruitment exceeded my expectations. Mark was professional and approachable and I was pleasantly surprised by his speed of response and how quickly he found me my new role.
Adam Lynch, Semi Senior – April 2005
Si Recruitment took the time to meet with me and actually listened to what I wanted in the interview. Sharron had a good local knowledge of the market and pay in the area and came up with a number of suitable opportunities. I did not believe the dream job existed and despite ages spent searching in the papers Si delivered a job that matched all my requirements perfectly in a short space of time. I wish I had heard of them earlier!
Robert Smyth, Assistant Accountant – April 2005
I found the service provided by Si Recruitment to be very good. Mark kept me updated regularly and within a short space of registering came up with a number of job interviews for relevant roles. I certainly feel that I found the best job available for me.
Sarah Cooper, AAT Trainee – March 2005
Si Recruitment provided me with a fantastic service responding quickly to my needs. Within one week of contacting Mark I had interviews lined up that matched my requirements exactly. In the past I have been hesitant to use agencies as I have found them pushy and I have been encouraged into attending interviews for jobs I wasn’t interested in. Mark understood the type of work I was looking for and only put me forward for interviews which fell into this category. I would most definitely recommend them to other people.
Jenni Kerr, AAT Accountant – February 2005
