Client Testimonials“I have worked with Helen on a number of assignments to date, and found the service offered to be excellent. My specific requirements are noted and matched exactly. Douglas Scott are now a preferred supplier to our business, and I would have no problem recommending their service to others” "When dealing with Helen at Douglas Scott I found her to be helpful, approachable flexible and patient. Helen made it her business to find out about our business in order to supply us with exactly the right calibre of candidates which saved my time in getting submerged in piles of CV's for candidates which didnt meet our requirements. I have always trusted Helen to find out exactly what we want and supply us with candidates who meet our requirements - simple as that" "Upon starting in this role, I found that my predecessor had been using, seemingly, every agency in Manchester and this scattergun approach simply hadn't worked. I decided to use only a few, selected, agencies and decided that Douglas Scott would be one of them after receiving a professional, dedicated approach from Helen Chatburn. After I explained my requirements to Helen, the CV's that I have received from her have all been worth considering which is not something I can say about all agencies. I'm happy to recommend Helen to other employers." "I have worked with Helen at Douglas Scott for a number of years now. The candidates she provides are always very close to what we are looking for and we invariably make an offer to at least one of the interviewee’s. This makes the best use of my time knowing there is a good chance that of the interviews set up one will be fruitful." "We use Douglas Scott on a regular basis to recruit for our Telemarketing vacancies. They have placed a couple of great candidates for us. I have always found the team to be very helpful. The team, including Helen, have a good understanding of exactly the type of candidates we are looking for which makes the whole recruitment process a lot easier for me!" "Douglas Scott have proven to be one of the most responsive and able recruitment organisations I have experienced. Since engaging with them some weeks ago they have consistently understood the roles available, the tight timescales required, and been able to provide high quality and importantly accurately equipped candidates for review. In addition to this, they have been prepared to work outside of office hours, taking occasional calls without any indication of concern." "Having worked with Douglas Scott Commercial for the past year, I have been impressed with the friendly, can-do approach, and the effort taken to understand our business and the type of individuals we are looking for. We work together as a team to recruit quality staff, and they are a pleasure to deal with" "We have used Douglas Scott Commercial Ltd on a regular basis to source telephone sales staff and have successfully filled vacancies on a number of occasions through them. The consultant only sends through CV's that match our strict criteria and are quick to respond with any requests, dealing with any matter in a professional and efficient manner. I would highly recommend any business to give Douglas Scott Commercial a call to discuss staff requirements and to get first class service on the process."

The Douglas-Scott team are friendly, on the ball, efficient and deliver what they say they are going to. Call them and find out for yourselves!" Candidate Testimonials"I would like to say a huge thank you to Douglas Scott Commercial, particularly Helen. I have been waiting for a while for a new challenge in my career, and I got it after only being registered with the company for a couple of weeks. Also every interview I went to was met with an offer at the end so I was able to make the right choice for my future. Fantastic, thanks so much." "I contacted Douglas Scott Commercial with my Cv when I was looking for a new position. Within one week of speaking to Helen I had my first interview and by the end of the month I was offered a permanent position which I am very looking forward to starting. I found Helen and the rest of the staff to be very helpful and they kept me informed by phone or email. If I ever have to look for another job Douglas Scott Commercial would be the only agency for me. I’d like to take this time to thank you very much for all your help" "Douglas Scott Commercial is an agency that I found to be very professional in their approach and they possessed the determination to do whatever they could in their capacity in order to find the right position for their client. In my personal dealings with Douglas Scott Commercial I found they treated me as an individual rather than another candidate that was placed on their books. I kept in contact with the agency and was made to feel that all was being done to find a position that not only they needed too fill, but I would find beneficial to myself and was a job that I would be happy and willing to commit myself to achieve my career goals. I feel that Douglas Scott Commercial took the time to listen to my ideas of work rather than spending time on the menial task of filling our endless agency forms. After only a short time they informed me of a position that seemed suitable which I have since interviewed for and am delighted to say I have now started. I would recommend Douglas Scott Commercial to any professional individual who is seeking employment and I would feel confident that the members of staff would do their absolute best for that person in the future." "Douglas Scott proved to be valuable to me in finding a permanent place of employment recently. I signed up with them in December 06 and am due to start a permanent position in January 07. The staffs were very friendly and very helpful at all times. They gave me great advice and helped with my preparation for interviews and appointments with potential employers. They listened to my requirements and found me a position that matched, which was fantastic. I definitely made the right choice by signing up with Douglas Scott and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their time and finding me a brilliant job." "Recently I have been successful in getting a new job in a top software company. I couldn't have done this with out the aid & support of Douglas Scott Recruitment. I'd like to say a big thank you to the Douglas Scott team for simply outshining the rest in the recruitment field." "Hi Helen, thanks for getting me this job. I owe you one! You definitely got my vote for the best consultant of all the 1000's I have been dealing with! "Only one day after registering with Douglas Scott I received a phone call from one of their many experienced recruiters and was invited to attend an interview with a prestigious client. Throughout the interview and offer process I received a friendly, helpful and exceptionally professional service. Having previously worked in the recruitment industry for a number of years I have yet to meet a more informative and efficient organisation. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the services of both Helen Chatburn and Douglas Scott to both prospective Candidates and Clients." "I have really appreciated your help. You are the ideal agent - someone willing to go into bat for their client. The agents here could definitely take a leaf out of your book." "Thank you so much for all your help. I appreciate your input in arranging all this. Having being unemployed for just over a month with a few rejections under my belt, I was starting to get a little annoyed - and anxious! Bills need to be paid! I have never really been fond of finding work through an agency as I quite honestly find them tedious. However, you changed my mind! I found you (and your company!) very efficient, but more importantly, you were always available for a quick chat when I had a question. I called you for some pretty minute stuff at times yet you were always available to speak immediately" "I am typing this email to express my gratitude at the high level service and hard work conducted on my behalf by Helen Chatburn (Douglas Scott Commercial) Helen worked tirelessly to find me work with constant phone calls and persistent contacting companies for me over a several week period. She did a wonderful job of matching my needs to the type of work I was looking for and negotiated on my behalf. I'd like to commend Helen and your company for showing such as great level of professionalism, enthusiasm and showing a great level of support and help I wish Helen and the rest of your company the best for the future." "Before finding Douglas Scott I used four agencies that I would rank from very bad to average. I think the difference with Douglas Scott compared to other agencies is that they listen to the kind of job you would like and actively seek out those opportunities rather than simply matching CV's with vacancies. Douglas Scott took time to approach potential employers exclusively for me and got me in front of people and companies I never thought were possible. I would like to thank all the staff at Douglas Scott for finding me my dream job"! "The service from Douglas Scott recruitment, I felt, was exceptional. In my case they are the best agency I have been with. The staff were always helpful and kept me informed about any vacancies that came up and they will always do there best to find you the job that you are looking for." "The service was brilliant. You were very efficient with speed and always kept me updated with and news that you received. I felt you really understood my needs and listened to what i had to say. You also should excellent skills when selling me to the company. You were speedier than other companies and I was very impressed that you went through a few practice questions with me before I have the interview, it really boosted my confidence. Very happy with the outcome as I got the job. I would definitely recommend you." "Thank you ever so much for what you have done for helping me back into employment. I have only been out of work for 3 weeks, and from this you have worked remarkably above expectations on behalf of myself, and I respect you for this. You have kept me updated nearly every day and worked really hard to get this position for me. Thank You so much Charlie" "Thank you for the excellent service you provided on behalf of Douglas Scott in securing my recent placement. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Douglas Scott as a recruitment agency. From the first initial interview right through to the placement the communication was excellent. Over the years I have dealt with a number of agencies particularly within the Manchester area. One main concern has always been communication and the agency being able to understand my needs & requirements and also the needs and requirements of the employer in making sure the right role is secured In my opinion I have always felt that any recruitment agency would only need to stand on their toes to be above the rest of the herd. In this regard Douglas Scott are head and shoulders above the rest. Most agencies I feel are just happy to fill their books and get the commission. The difference I saw in Douglas Scott was that they showed a genuine interest in my needs. Instead of just filling out my application in a passive manner, they listened to my needs and both for the short, medium and long term. I was more than pleased with the results and I would just like to add the service and support I received from Charlie was first class. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Douglas Scott as a preferred recruitment agency. Thank you once again for your highly professional and prompt attention in helping me secure an excellent career role. Kind Regards"Colin Boardman "I would like to add at this point the way I have been dealt with by yourself and Douglas Scott has been exemplary, you personally have gone beyond my natural feeling of a recruitment consultant to deliver an exceptionally high standard of performance, further to this, the team in support worked well in achieving our mutual goal." "From our very first conversation I knew that dealing with Helen was going to be an all together different experience from what I had experienced from other agencies. Unlike other agencies, Helen was interested in what I wanted and listened to my wish list very carefully and then matched a position to what I required. She then communicated with her clients, and in a matter of hours I was offered and interview. Helen called and confirmed the date and time and promised to send a email with all the details. Of course the email arrived almost immediately with all the information I needed to attend my interview. After my interview, Helen called me to obtain feedback and how I felt about the position and company. To say that I was happy with the outcome would be an understatement! I was offered the position within hours, Helen communicated all the detail by phone and email and arranged for a offer contract to get sent across to me by post within days. I have now signed that contract and will be starting my new position on Monday 6th October. I would not hesitate recommending Helen and Douglas Scott to friends and past collegues. The services that they provided me were both professional and an altogether pleasurable experience. The difference in my opinion between Helen and Douglas Scott and other agencies is, they listened to what I wanted and communicated with me throughout the process. They put me first! Thank you for all your help and wish you the very best for the future. " "My experience has been brilliant at Douglas Scott. Helen was excellent exactly the kind of support you need when looking for work, very professional but warm and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Douglas Scott to anyone I know who is looking for work." |
