Jamil - Candidate, Derby
"Without any hesitation I would say that Cherry Professional is the best recruitment agency in Derby as they are extremely professional, reliable, honest and caring group of people. I am truly grateful to Kelly for all her hard work and fantastic communication throughout the process and especially grateful for her help to reschedule my interview when I was not available to attend one. From the very first day Kelly has been doing everything to help me find the perfect role and she has put all her efforts to make this happen, she kept me up to date and was always available to answer any question. Cannot thank Kelly enough for all her hard work and extremely professional approach. I would definitely recommend using Cherry Professional as they are honest and professional."
"Claire from Cherry helped me find my dream job and now I’m working for a company that I absolutely love and can’t wait to get stuck in. I wouldn’t have been able to find this job without Claire’s help, I was starting to lose hope and a morning phone call from Cherry turned it all around. From beginning to end, Claire truly cared about the whole process, she was only a phone call away when I needed a bit of advice or to calm my nerves. I am so appreciative, thank you so much!"
"Fantastic service provided by Cherry Professional. Met with the agency on Thursday and had a permanent job offer by Tuesday! I would not hesitate to recommend this recruitment agency, Nicola Freeman in particular was so helpful, going out of her way to find the perfect role with the right company to meet all of my requirements. Thank you Nicola and thank you Cherry Professional!"
"Gareth feels like a mate rather than a recruiter. He's always there to give advice, to listen and basically to help. I trust him completely and know when he calls me the role will be one I will be interested in as he has taken the time to understand what I want. It sounds simple and should be, but not many recruiters do it - that's what sets Cherry apart from other agencies."
"Georgia was a huge help in finding us a replacement quickly. The position we had advertised was not an easy recruit and a very business specific role and so was great that Georgia helped find a suitable candidate. Georgia was a new contact to us and made every effort to understand us as a business, the culture and type of candidates that would instantly fit it."
"Kerry has helped our company immeasurably in the last few weeks. She has taken the time to listen to our needs, discuss appropriate candidates and work on placements coming into a difficult environment. The dialogue between Kerry and me has been professional, friendly and frank, which is exactly what I could have wished for from a recruitment consultant. She has been able to deliver on her promises often at very short notice, which is commendable. I'm sure we will be utilising your company again in the near future and do not hesitate to recommend Kerry."
"My experience with Cherry Professional was excellent. In less than a week, Kelly has found a suitable vacancy, set up an interview and I was appointed."
"Couldn't be more impressed with the entire recruitment process with Cherry. I dealt with Robert Clarke who is truly exceptional, I was listened to fully and supported through every step of the process and as a result I feel that I can say with confidence I have made the right choice. I would highly recommend them to anyone"
"By far the most professional and personal recruitment agency I have ever dealt with (from both client and candidate side). Everything is focused and tailored to your needs rather than a blanket approach taken by most agencies."
"I have used Cherry for the last 5 years for both personal and employee recruitment purposes. I have always been very impressed with the candidates that they have selected for me, the roles that I have been put forward for and the professional, dedicated and friendly staff that work there. I have had the pleasure of dealing with Rob and Gareth for a number of years and I could not be happier with the working relationship that we have developed. They took the time to understand my needs for my new role and they couldn’t have found me a more perfect role."
"My experience with Cherry Professional has been truly exceptional. Ross Hillman has been an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the process and his support and dedication to securing the perfect outcome for his candidates and employers is so apparent. He was extremely receptive and really sought to understand both what I was looking for in a new role but also me as an individual - so much so, that I was offered and accepted the only job I ultimately interviewed for in the very same day! I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone who may be looking for their next career move."
"I found Claire to be professional, a great communicator and passionate about her job. I felt valued and well informed about the whole process, it is the best experience I have had with recruitment agency"
"Friendly, professional and easy to deal with. Filled our vacancy very fast and efficiently at a difficult transitional period for which I am truly grateful."
"I registered with Cherry Professional and 5 days later I was back in work. Looking forward to starting my new role. Thanks to Kate who has kept me up to date and informed. I will not hesitate to recommend you. Head and shoulders above other agencies in my experience."
"Claire and Kate have both been great, given me fantastic opportunities to find jobs in Nottingham. Highly recommend to visit their office and have a chat about your career!"
"It was truly a breath of fresh air dealing with Cherry Professional. Indeed, as their title states, a very ‘professional’ and a highly organised business."
"Cherry Professional are the best head and shoulders above the rest in the recruitment industry! Kerry has known me for 2yrs plus and I feel she has the best professional approach with my skills/experience at heart when she deems me suitable for a role she has available or just simply calls to find out how I am for work. Whenever I have wanted to find my next role Kerry is my No.1 go to all the time. Her professionalism is outstanding, obviously having applied for roles with other agencies other than Cherry Professional the other agencies lack candidate service skills and don’t deliver. All other agencies should learn from this review and smarten up!!"
"My experience with Cherry Professional has been very good from the first contact to securing a position through them. The staff are all friendly and always return your call."
"A very professional service. I was helped through the interview process and secured a permanent role within a week of registration. I would recommend Cherry Professional without hesitation."
"Thanks for all your help Ben. We formed a very good relationship and after looking through several opportunities we found one that was perfect for me! I will definitely contact Ben when looking for my next role."
"Extremely helpful and professional. Ross is extremely professional, gave me advice on the interview process. Ruby was extremely professional and I would recommend Cherry Professional to all my friends and family."
"I had been in my previous position for 22 years so very out of the job market, I met with both Kerry and Georgia and they boosted my confidence. Georgia checked in with me both before and after my interviews and I can’t thank her and Cherry Professionals enough – I have now secured a fantastic new position."
"Whenever I have needed help with seeking a temporary assignment Kerry has always been there to help. I feel like she is really keen to see me placed on an assignment."
"Georgia was fabulous through the whole process, extremely supportive during and after interview stage and even after I was offered the role. She gave enough information for me to feel confident during the interview and made sure all my queries were answered at all times. It was nice to have the support throughout and not just prior to interview stage, really appreciate the efforts and will highly recommend her as a representative to my friends and family in the future."
"From my first initial meeting with Nicola I was put very much at ease, as interviews are not my strong point. I then met with and worked with Claire, who was fantastic, she let me know that when I registered in July, that July and August would be very slow months to find work and that when September arrived there would be lots of offers flooding in, and sure enough Claire was correct as not only did I secure an interview through Claire, but I also managed to land the job as well. So all in all I cannot thank Claire and the team at Cherry Professional enough for all their hard work and dedication in helping me secure a full time, permanent position. I would highly recommend Claire, Nicola and the rest of the team at Cherry Professional. Thank you all so much."
"Cherry Professional is an extremely professional organisation with a team of great people who are genuinely dedicated and committed to understanding the needs of their clients. Then, having the expertise to find and match the right person, with the necessary skills and experience, to support the client really well. I have been consistently impressed by everyone that Cherry Professional has provided and would highly recommend their service. Quality people, every time!"
"Nicola contacted me with a job that suited my abilities. I found her helpful, informative and professional and was on call if I needed any additional help. She put my mind at rest and helped me with any further questions I had. I got the job! Thank you for all your help and support Nicola Freeman!"
"The service Cherry provide is the best by any agency by far. They really make you feel like an individual by really trying to find you the role that suits you - it isn’t a blanket email of any job kind of service. Ben Love is great at his job. He understands what you want & really tries to find that role for you. Cherry have helped to find me 2 great jobs & I have recommended them to many people."
"From submitting my CV for a role to being made an offer of employment took 4 working days, and that was only because I was unavailable for interview for the first 2 days. Ross, my consultant, was straight on the phone to have a chat about the role I applied for, as well as other potential positions and companies I might be interested in. He had obviously worked closely with the person advertising the position I had applied for and gave me a lot of background information before interview which put me at ease. Communication was excellent and included a video chat with him as we did not have time to meet up in person, which is their preferred option. If I am ever looking for another job Cherry Professional will be my first call."
"Cherry Professional is the best recruitment agency. Kieran is very professional, reliable, honest and supportive. He helped me find the perfect job. I can honestly say I couldn’t find it without his help. I am very grateful for all his time and effort."
"Tom excelled. We had a few conversations at the start to ensure we both knew what the requirements were. Once we got over these discussions I am delighted with Tom's approach and was even willing to challenge my rationale, which he was right to do. The result is that we have the right person in our organisation - thanks to Tom and Cherry Professional."
"Having been both a candidate and a client of Georgia Johnson at Cherry Professional I have been very impressed with her and the service level I have received. Both the candidate experience and the client experience is second to none. Georgia listens to what we need as a business and she works fast and always sends me quality candidates. Georgia knows what we / I like now and I trust her to find me the candidates right for the role the first time without me having to even reach out to other agencies!! Georgia's strength is her communication and honesty - She keeps me up to date with how she is getting on and that is key for me as I haven't got time to be chasing people. I love how she gets excited about candidates too - her energy rubs off on me and I equally get excited about meeting her candidates. I highly recommend Georgia and Cherry Professional as both a candidate and a client!!"
"I would highly recommend Cherry Professional to anyone. Georgia found me the perfect role and was very helpful and supportive throughout the interview process."
"The best and smoothest recruitment process I have been through. friendly, approachable and provided with advice and tips at every stage. I was confident they would find the role for me from the get go. Could not be more grateful."
"Very happy with the service and help provided by Cherry. In less than a week of applying for a job I was offered a position. I have never used a recruitment agency before and was very impressed with the quality and professional service/ help provided by the staff. Kerry in particular was really helpful and answered any queries I had in detail. Would definitely recommend Cherry Professional to others!!"
"I am very grateful that Cherry Professional was recommended to me as a recruitment agent. After not having had an interview for several years getting back into work seemed a very daunting task, but after being helped and encouraged by Nicola at Cherry I have been able to find and been offered a great job opportunity that works around my busy family life"
"Great communication with lots of great resources and advice for those looking for office based work. I was given many opportunities and the information provided for each of them was invaluably helpful."
"Very professional and personal service from Cherry Professional. Kerry is very professional, accommodating, welcoming and friendly and nothing seems too much trouble. Great recruitment agency."
"If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself out of work and are struggling to find a role via the usual means, then I can highly recommended Cherry professional. One consultant in particular being Kerry Metcalf. I could sit here and write a dickins style book with my experience of Kerry, but I’m sure I would run out of superlatives. Trust me when I say, that Kerry is a true “Recruitment Consultant” and went to every effort to assist me in finding my next role with minimal effort of my behalf. In the world of recruitment, which is heavily saturated, Cherry and Kerry in my experience are head and shoulders above the majority of other providers, and would not hesitate in using them again. Simply, they were fantastic and will look forward to keeping my professional rapport with them throughout my career. Massive thanks Kerry, you’re a star!"
"I was extremely happy with the service Nicola provided me with, very supportive from start to finish and helped me find a job to jump start my new career in accounts."
"Honestly the quickest process for a new job that I've ever gone through. Start to end was less than a month. The professionalism was fantastic, Georgia you're an attribute to Cherry. Definitely recommending you to friends and family in the future."
"It has been a while since I have contacted a Recruitment company! Totally new experience with Cherry, I found them very supportive and put me at my ease. Kerry was a pleasure and knew I was in good hands!"
"I'm very happy with your service, and I've been so since day one. Very good communication, very professional, always helpful and involved in finding the perfect match for each candidate."
"Everything was turned around extremely quickly, both candidates provided were of a great standard and Georgia was easy to contact and communicate with. Very impressed with Cherry, wouldn't normally consider for scheduling vacancies (usually finance) but have quickly proved versatility in another area - well done."
"Kerry has always been my first port of call when I've finished work and really need to get into another role. She doesn't disappoint, is thorough in what she does and I have had the pleasure in doing temporary assignments three times now over the past couple of years. Being a recruitment resourcer myself, Kerry does as I do.... cares for the candidate from start to finish, crosses all the t's and dots every i."
"This is the 2nd position that I got via Cherry and both times the service provided has been exceptional. Nicola was friendly and very professional and went out of her way to accommodate my needs. I also used Cherry before when I needed staff myself and again I was extremely happy with the service provided."
