She is prompt, responsive, always there to support, advise and step in. Thanks Tara"
Miles - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tom was excellent throughout the recruitment process. He took the time to contact me and keep me consistently updated so that I was always aware of what was happening and when I could expect to receive further decisions and/or updates. He seemed genuinely invested in my success in a way that I have not felt with other recruitment consultants and was (almost) as equally ecstatic as I was when I found out I had been offered a position with a potential employer. I cannot recommend Tom, and Cherry, enough."

Not just pushing any role my way. Highly recommend using Cherry when searching for your new role!"

He went the extra mile to ensure all my queries about the role were answered and looked out for my interest and progression which I am extremely grateful for."
Liz - Candidate - Nottingham
"Within one day of publishing my updated CV to just two online job platforms, I received a call from Laura at Cherry Professional with an absolutely ideal opportunity to tell me about, which she'd expertly matched up with my profile, status, personal employment preferences and professional skills. From the start, I was extremely impressed with Laura's keen ability to match my candidate profile so perfectly with this excellent opportunity, and the service she continued to deliver throughout the entire process, right through to my successful placement in the role, was second-to-none. Prompt, professional, efficient, supportive, and informative, I was extremely satisfied with the service I received from both Laura herself and Cherry Professional as an organisation, and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you Laura and Cherry Professional!"

Katie - Candidate - Derby
"The most important difference between Cherry Professional and other agencies which I've been in touch with is the proactive attitude of the consultants, especially calling back exactly when they said they would. It seems a simple thing, but is sadly not common. Everything has been very straightforward, and conversations have been accurate (the services offered were provided) and encouraging. I felt from the very first contact that the consultants were keen to find suitable placements and vacancies. First class customer service!"
Sally - Candidate - Derby
"Tom was amazing! Throughout the whole process, he was friendly, organised and knowledgeable about the role. His positivity was transferred onto me, providing me with more confidence during the interview. Tom discovered my talents as he got to know me with the end result succeeding at interview. Thank you Tom"
Iwona - Candidate - Derby
"I dealt with Ruby Webster from start to finish and was an excellent experience. Ruby contacted me for a position that was perfectly matching what I was looking for and I got the job. Ruby was always quick to respond and assist with any and all of my queries. Her assistance regarding interview preparation was extremely beneficial. She was also very good at representing my interests to the employer throughout the process. I would highly recommend working with Cherry Professional and Ruby!"
Mobolaji - Candidate - Nottingham
"I will recommend Cherry Professional and their top notch service! I am highly grateful and impressed with Tara's professional approach and skills that helped me get my new role as a Customer Service Executive in a reputable company. From the first day that I spoke with Tara, she took her time to take me through the job specification, explaining the roles and benefits. She went beyond reviewing my CV and putting it forward to her Client because she took it upon herself to get me an interview, coach and motivate me a day before the interview."
Beth - Client - Nottingham
"Cherry Recruitment understood our needs immediately and found a suitable candidate, with great references, almost immediately. We were able to get help in the team within just a couple of days and have been very impressed with the candidate so far. Would recommend to anyone and will use them again for any temp staffing needs."
Sumbal - Candidate - Nottingham
"I have never been as satisfied with the service provided by a recruitment agency as I have with my experience with Cherry. Daniel Thornton has been super helpful and patient with me and my requirements and helped me get a full time role. I have spoken to other recruitment agencies who have told me indirectly that my requirement cannot be met due to my lack of experience in the workplace however, Dan never made me feel that way! He always showed support and was very understanding. Cherry and it’s employees deserve more than 5 stars. I am very very satisfied with their services. I also really liked the job alerts that Cherry sends as it’s helped me keep an eye out for suitable roles which I applied to. Thank you Cherry!
Jana - Candidate - Nottingham
" I was very happy with the service from Cherry Professional and I would definitely recommend them to other people looking for jobs. Kieran was really great, kept in regular contact and for each interview he provided so much information and tips that helped. He listened to my feedback every time and used personal approach which improved my interview skills and eventually got me two great offers. One of the best recruiters I have worked with so far."
Anush - Candidate - Nottingham
"Cherry professional are absolute justification to their names. They pick you at early stages of your job search and help you in every way they can. They basically ride the 'job search' journey together with you, until you find one! Tara who was the consultant for me, helped me prepare for the interview and took care of even small things. Thanks to the organisation and special mention to Tara.... You are a star....."
Hollie - Candidate - Nottingham
"I was very uncertain which direction I wanted my career to go in but after uploading my CV and having a chat with Nicola, she was able to secure me 3 interviews within days and I had an offer within a week! Nicola was easy to speak to and I knew she was always at the end of the phone if I needed any advice. I would recommend Cherry to anyone considering looking for a new job."
Ellie - Candidate - Nottingham
"I found working with Cherry incredibly easy and professional. Julie was extremely helpful throughout the process. She matched me to a job which was exactly what I was looking for being a first time mover from accounting practice to industry and arranged an interview within a couple of days. Julie provided support at each stage of my interview process providing many resources as well as feedback from the business. The end result was an offer that exceed my expectations at a well known business in the Nottingham area. I would recommend Cherry and Julie to anyone looking for their next move in the finance sector. "
Rosanna - Candidate - Derby
"Ruby Webster is very helpful and has a lot of patience in providing information about the job including the location and travel time that I need to consider. She is very consistent in making follow-ups and very supportive in interviews. She is very efficient and such a nice person as a whole."
Jason - Candidate - Nottingham
"I spoke to a number of recruitment agencies a number of years ago now. Ben was the only one who took the time to get to know me as a person and really understood the qualities I possess, namely my people skills I decided at the time I wasn't ready to move. When that time arose, Ben was the only person I reached out to. He soon found what appears to be the perfect fit for both me and the company. Huge credit, thank you."
Gavin - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tara from Cherry Professional, contacted me due to viewing my CV for a role she believed I would fit perfectly in. Within a telephone consultation she explained what the role was and how I would be great for this role, arranging all the interviews with the company, following up with more calls which helped prep me for the interview, which all resulted me getting offered the position."
Ashley - Candidate - Derby
"Tom Stanley was very professional, efficient at responding and a great communicator. I was very happy with the services he provided. All my questions and concerns were addressed and communicated to the client and communication was clear. I was happy with the level of transparency and efficiency relating to the role I will be filling."
Sarah - Candidate - Derby
"I have been working in temp/fixed contract job roles since 2017, and all have been through Cherry Professional. They leave their competitors standing. I had not dealt with Tom Stanley before, but he has been brilliant - approachable, informative and absolutely on the ball. Ten out of ten again. Don’t waste time looking elsewhere!"
Jo - Candidate - Nottingham
"The support that I received from Kieran at Cherry Professional was outstanding. He has really taken the time to get to know me and truly understand the type of role that he knew I would shine in. He has provided detailed information throughout the process, going above and beyond to keep me informed. I would definitely recommend Cherry Professional and can't thank Kieran enough for his help and support :-)"
Matthew - Candidate - Derby
"I came to Cherry Professional looking for something that would suit my skill set and within a matter of weeks, my recruitment consultant had sorted me out an interview and I have now secured a start date with a new company. Within those few weeks, I was communicated with regularly and was given great support. An overall fantastic service."
Armella - Candidate - Nottingham
"Kieran is very helpful and friendly😀 I felt like I can just be myself when talking with him, no awkward moments, like talking with a friend. He made sure I am prepared for the interview and I am okay after the interview. He really cared about every aspect, I can take my hat off, he is a great guy I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best recruiting process I had! Thank you Kieran for being there with me"
Emily - Client - Derby
"Tom Stanley has been my main contact at Cherry for the months that I've been using them. We've been hiring for certain office roles for around 6 months as we weren't getting the quality of candidates through from our own channels and other agencies. Tom came along from Cherry and has already placed 2 (which will 99% become 3 in the next week) candidates for these, what I thought were becoming, unfillable vacancies. Tom has been nothing but professional, friendly, informative, efficient, committed and just down-right good at his job. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with him and I know the hiring managers have been extremely impressed with the candidates that he's submitted too. I'm looking forward to continue working with Tom on as many of our vacancies that fits into his specialities and I know Cherry will be my go-to from now on. The only criticism I have is that Tom doesn't specialise in all of the roles I need him to!!!"
Lisa - Candidate - Derby
"Tom was absolutely fantastic, he quickly understood what I was looking for and the type of role I was interested in and got to work immediately placing me for interviews. He genuinely cares for both candidate and employer and clearly works hard to find the all important right “fit” Thank you Tom for helping me land an awesome role that will help to shape my career. Your advice, insight and patience was invaluable and much appreciated."
Rebecca - Candidate - Leicester
"Cherry Professional are a terrific agency to work whether you are a recruiter or a job seeker and everyone I have engaged with at this agency is friendly, approachable and professional. I contacted Cherry to help me search for a role that was slightly left-field and they rose to the challenge. Lee Kemp listened attentively to the sort of role I was looking for, taking note of my particular experience and skill set. Soon afterwards he found exactly what I'd been looking for. Lee was extremely encouraging and provided insight and guidance throughout my application, checking in on me at various points throughout the process. I'm delighted with the role that I've been offered and I can't thank Lee and Cherry Professional enough for their support."
Nathan - Candidate - Nottingham
"By using Cherry Professional, it allowed me to feel like I wasn't on my own throughout my whole job search, especially as it was my first time using an agency. For each application, meeting and job interview, I felt like it was personal to Kieran as well as myself, to find the best job role that I was looking for which was so reassuring as he felt the same disappointment and excitement throughout our process. I will recommend Cherry Professional to everyone and I will definitely be using them again if necessary. Thank you."
Albert - Candidate - Nottingham
"This is my first ever job hunting in the UK and it was an instant success, thanks to my recruitment consultant, Tara Rubbani. Tara really takes up the ownership of my case and she provided me all the details of the role and the employer. She follows up with me during the who journey. I especially thankful that Tara called me at least once a day to update me the status of the process. A HUGE thank you from me, Tara!!!"
Paul - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tara was incredibly helpful in discussing with me the kind of role I wanted and looking at my CV to fit me to a role that was going to be suitable. When I explained I had an offer elsewhere Tara really fought my corner and the company I interviewed with offered me a more senior role which was fantastic! The service was fantastic."
Nithun - Candidate - Leicester
"Kieran was outstanding from start to finish during my recent (successful) application to a role. He was very personable and friendly during every encounter. Whether it was a video call, phone call or text, Kieran always tried to be available to help me out. I appreciated him taking the time, sometimes past working hours, to provide me with updates and feedback."
Claire - Candidate - Nottingham
"Kate Lavery was extremely personable and supportive from my first phone call with her. As a career changer, that personal touch is absolutely vital in helping you build confidence about your new role. Kate was generous with her time and really listened to me about what I wanted from my next role. My impression of Cherry Professional is unequivocally positive based on my candidate experience with Kate and I will be quick to recommend their services to other job seekers. A heartfelt thank-you!"
Marlena - Candidate - Leicester
"I would recommend Cherry Professional to anyone as I, myself, was very pleased with the excellent, professional service I received. Tara was very friendly, helpful and she made me feel like I really mattered. She helped me to secure my new job in a matter of days from the first time she contacted me."
Jane - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tara is one of the best recruitment consultants I have met. Her professional attitude and attention to detail were second to none. She is an asset to the company and she shown a real interest in me as a candidate. I was very impressed with the standard of communication and overall support that I received. I will be definitely be recommending Cherry Professional for their high level of service compared to other agencies."
James - Candidate - Derby
"Ruby Webster was amazing and I could not ask for anything else. I was given plenty of information and support to help me. She was also very kind & polite while being very accommodating for what I wanted. I am overall very impressed with the service provided, she has worked hard!"
Ross - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tara got in touch with me regarding a potential job role and was helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided that I was happy to be put forward for the role the interview was arranged very quickly. In the lead up to the interview Tara kept in touch to make sure that I was confident and prepared for the interview, including offering helpful advice for answering tricky interview questions. Great service and I would definitely recommend."
Jasmine - Candidate - Nottingham
"Kate was very helpful and friendly. She helped me to prepare for the interview and kept in contact with me frequently to keep me updated and see how the process was going. It was overall a very useful service and the best recruitment agency I have experienced so far!"
Debbie - Client - Nottingham
"We were finding it difficult to source the right CFO candidate and it was crucial that the person we appointed not only had the technical expertise, but also aligned to our values and ethos. Ben took the brief and really listened to what we needed, even asking about what we had done to date so that he had an idea of what wasn't right. I had lost hope in finding the right candidate and Ben was true to his word when he sent through some quality candidates who had been thoroughly briefed. We could have appointed at least two candidates and my reflection is that we should have gone to Cherry earlier and saved our time and money on a national advert and hours of interviewing. Thanks Ben!"
Joanne - Candidate - Derby
"Even though I contacted the Agency only looking for part time work they were very honest with me in that they do not get many part time roles. However they suggested that I could complete short term temping assignments which would allow me to then have flexibility in having time off between assignments to sustain my need for a good work/life balance. They were on the ball and got me an assignment very quickly and I found them to be very personable and efficient."
Jaycee - Candidate - Nottingham
"The way Tara and Kate worked as a team is the reason I believe made the process so smooth and there was never any lack of communication. Tara always kept in touch and updated me on the progress and each step either via email or telephone. Plenty of information on the website and so easy to navigate through. Also plenty of suggestions, questions and research on the employers was emailed over to me in order for me to be ready for the interview."
Stephen - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tell all of your staff to learn from Nicola Freeman. She is absolutely brilliant, and miles above any other person I've spoken to from a recruitment agency. She helped me secure my first job in finance/accounting when I was just starting out 2 years ago and she has just helped me again to get my new job. My praises couldn’t be higher for this woman and I would not hesitate to recommend her."
Jon - Client - Bristol
"From the very first briefing call to invoicing for a successful placement, everyone I've engaged with at Cherry have been professional, knowledgeable, engaged and great to do business with. Cherry provided an excellent range of well vetted and briefed candidates for us to shortlist and we're very happy with the results. Thank you."
Jack - Candidate - Nottingham
"Cherry were absolutely amazing in helping me find my new role. No request was too much for the the team, even when I turned down a couple of roles initially because they were the wrong fit. Nicola made everything so simple, and the rest of the team were incredibly professional when Nicola wasn’t available! Would highly recommend!"
Adam - Candidate - Nottingham
"All of the recruiters I spoke to at Cherry were extremely helpful, and kept me in the loop during the application process. They were able to understand my previous experience and were able to match me to appropriate vacancies. The team at Cherry in Nottingham, (in particular Jennifer, Cathal, and Ben) were able to secure me several interviews in a short space of time which led to me successfully gaining a new position."
Cinzia - Candidate - Nottingham
"Cherry Professional has been the only recruitment agency that managed to find a role that fits like a glove. A role that uses all my skills and still contained all the requirements I needed. Within a day I had a role that sounded perfect, the following day I had an interview and in less than a week I'm about to start a new adventure with a new company. The team communicated every step, gave all kinds of information, even a nice email with suggestions for getting ready for the interview. If my friends and family need to find a role, I'm sending them over to Cherry Professional"
Hayley - Candidate - Nottingham
"Got in touch with Cherry Professional a few weeks ago regarding the position, within a week I had a confirmed interview and got the job during the interview. Nicola was prompt in calling me afterwards and keeping me update beforehand, and was very prompt in sending over the information requested regarding the offer in writing."
Chiara - Candidate - Derby
"Tom from the very start of my journey of looking for a new job was fantastic. He was always able to provide me with plenty of information, kept me updated with my application as well as supporting me with preparing for my interview. I can honestly say without his help, I don’t think I would have been successful in getting the job I will be starting shortly and for that I will be forever grateful."
Aneeqa - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tara was very helpful and professional. The communication was amazing throughout the entire process and all in all she went above and beyond, ensuring I was aware of all the finer details and always in contact with me through the process. Genuinely an amazing recruiter!"
Marian - Client - Nottingham
"From the organisation side all went well. Tara was in regular contact, understood the brief well. I do believe it helped that Tara placed a candidate that we made an offer to, so the personality, character and skills sets was known. It was a pleasure to work with a recruiter who truly listened to our needs."
Iksa - Candidate - Nottingham
"This was not what I expected. A complete help from Kate, she has been so wonderful and patient. Words cannot express how thankful I am towards her. She had helped me apply, all the way through to going through interviews questions with me and also provided me with positive affirmations which definitely helped me too."
Kristy - Client - Nottingham
"In terms of customer satisfaction, I have been extremely pleased with Ben. He understood my brief and the shortlist of candidates was very good. Having been recruited into the role by Ben myself, he will always be my first port of call for me personally or for further recruitment."
Soufyane - Candidate - Nottingham
"Great recruitment company where the recruiters care and ensure they get you the best role fit. In my experience the Cherry recruiters went out their way to call me a couple days before the interview and on the interview day morning, going through sample interview questions and giving advice and ensuring I am comfortable."
Sara - Candidate - Nottingham
"Cherry Professional have been amazing throughout the entire process from beginning to end. They offer a phenomenal service far more better than a lot of other agencies I have worked with in the past. They have been very professional, helpful, informative and motivating consultants. All offering top, quality advice whilst maintaining great relationship with their clients. I am extremely happy with how my consultant (Tara Rubbani) has dealt with me. She is an asset to the organisation. Tara had encouraged and motivated me whilst regularly checking up on me and prepped me for the interview with clear structure and guidance, which got me the job!"
Kim - Candidate - Nottingham
"Nicola has a vacancy come in and it was perfect for my skill sets. She called me and gave me the spec and I was interviewed two days later. I was offered the position during the interview and I couldn't be happier. Nicola called me to see how the interview went and was really pleased for me when I told her it was successful. She called the day I started to see how I was getting on. Also a call a couple of days later to see if I was happy there. I can honestly say for the first time ever I love my job. It's everything I wanted and more. I can't thank Nicola and Cherry Professional enough."
Helen - Candidate - Derby
"Tom has been brilliant in finding me work! He’s genuine and approachable. It was a really quick process from registration to getting back out to work coming out of lockdown. He matched my skills and personal attributes to a role which really fitted me well. A great big thank you to him."
Zoe - Candidate - Nottingham
"Could not recommend Nicola and Cherry Professional enough. Nicola kept me informed and supported me through one of the biggest decisions of my working career. Nicola really gets to know and understand her candidates even suggesting roles you wouldn’t consider and in my case it really paid off!! Thank you."
Kester - Candidate - Nottingham
"I have worked with several agencies over the last few years as a result of redundancies and have needed to find work quickly, and I can honestly say that Kieran has been by far the most helpful and effective person I have worked with at any agency. His prep work is exemplary and anything he puts me forward for I seem get an interview, and his pre interview work is always to the point and really helpful. I have not felt pressured by Cherry at all and they have been a joy to work with."
Suzanne - Candidate - Leicester
"I would personally like to thank Danielle for all the time and support given to me through my search, application, interview process and outcome. This is by far the most professional, yet friendliest, service I have ever received in my 20 plus years of career building. I was continuously well informed and prepped at every stage of the process and felt I had the best possible chance at securing the role due to Danielle's commitment to both candidate and company fit."
Magnus - Candidate - Nottingham
"I've known Cathal Scanlon for a few years now and he seems to understand my capabilities better than I do. He put me forward for a role I wouldn't normally consider and I emerged on top against some very experienced candidates. It's nice when your consultant has full confidence in your abilities. I would recommend Cherry Professional to anyone looking for a personalised service."
Matthew - Candidate - Sheffield
"Having just left my job and looking for work, I received a call from Tara at Cherry Professional with a position she felt was perfect for me. Within 24 hours and an interview later I walked away with a new employer! I have been with many other agencies but none have been this quick or thorough as Cherry Professional. Thank you so much."
Katie - Candidate - Nottingham
"Kieran has been the best recruitment consultant I have ever worked with, the customer service and help I received was amazing. He spent time to make sure I was prepared well including improving my CV, he spoke to me before and after every stage of the process and answered any queries. He helped me prepare for interviews and was always there if I needed anything."
Bethan - Candidate - Derby
"A really great recruitment agency with the client at the forefront of their business. Ruby, my consultant was brilliant from start to finish and I am so very appreciative of her support. I felt I could go to her with complete ease about any concerns or questions and I am so happy with the service provided to me. Because of Cherry, I got the great opportunity in the field I am now in and have now secured a permanent role within the company. Thank you so much! I can't recommend Cherry Professional enough!"
Annaleice - Candidate - Nottingham
"Kieran really took the time and effort to make my life as easy as possible. He made sure that I was clear on everything that I needed to do and took the time to make me feel very comfortable. He gave me tips on how to make my CV better (which no other agency did) and gave me tips on how to succeed in an interview. Kieran is extremely bubbly and makes you feel that you can contact him at any point if there were any issues or if you needed to ask about something. I couldn't recommend Kieran or Cherry Professional enough, really great company!"
Dawn - Candidate - Nottingham
"Amazing service, friendly and extremely informative. Kate especially impressed me as she kept in touch and made sure everything was ok. If it was not, she would ensure it was and her preparation for my interviews were outstanding. Kate got me through the interviews considering the difficult times we are living in at the moment and it was all very new to me."
Satpal - Candidate - Derby
During a tough time in the pandemic, Cathal and Kieran both reassured me that I would be able to find a new role with my skillset. That boosted my self confidence which then lead to securing the ideal role for me! Professional but also Caring, I would highly recommend Cherry Professional!
Debra - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tara was very professional and very friendly, I immediately built up a great rapport with her. She was so helpful at preparing/coaching me on research and interview techniques. I hadn't applied for jobs for several years and being at the older end of the age range of candidates found her advice invaluable. I will certainly keep her number in case the need arises in the future, she would be the first person I would register with."
Victoria - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tara is the godmother of recruiters! She consistently went the extra mile, always keeping in touch, and helping me to prepare for my interview. I am so grateful to Tara for all the time and energy she put in, and cannot thank her enough. The process was easy and effective with Cherry, and I had a placement confirmation within 8 days of initial contact. I couldn't recommend Tara and Cherry more!"
Samuel - Candidate - Derby
"This was my first time looking for a 'proper job', so I haven't really got much to compare to previously. However, compared to other recruiters that approached me, Cherry and Kieran far surpassed that general standard. The all-round support given, especially with the interview preparation, was invaluable when in front of the potential employer. I'd highly recommend Cherry to anyone looking for a new position - and hope that you're approached by Kieran in the process."
Adam - Candidate - Derby
"Kieran has always been upfront and honest throughout the whole process. I felt my career desires and needs were taken into account with the roles I was considered for and eventually found me my dream role! Cathal also was brilliant to work with when I was looking for temporary work whilst looking for a permanent role."
Christian - Candidate - Nottingham
"Tara and Cherry Professional as a whole were very warm and supportive in the interview process, she made me feel confident going into the interview and assured me that she was available if I had any questions/ queries. Best recruitment service that I have received and I am very grateful."
Luke - Client - Derby
"Having been passed to Kieran and Jennifer by Gareth, they provided an excellent service that got me from candidate to offer in three weeks over the tricky Christmas period, making sure I always had someone working on things. I had 5 great candidates to look at and the two we interviewed were a credit to Cherry. Thank you for your hard work on this."
Mary - Candidate - Derby
"Georgia was in touch with me from start to end. Even taking the time out in the evening (7pm) to do a face to face interview prior to the actual interview with selected company. Communication was excellent, professional and friendly. Would highly recommend. Georgia is a credit to your company."
Eloise - Candidate - Nottingham
"Kieran was brilliant as a recruitment consultant and found a job that matched what I was looking for perfectly. He gave fantastic advice at every stage, from CV writing and interview prep to keeping me up to date with all of the latest news relating to the company I was applying for. I would highly recommend Kieran to anyone looking for a new job in the financial sector."
Nishan - Candidate - Nottingham
"I was recommended Cherry Professional by my cousin who received an excellent service securing a role she desired. I was more than happy with Kate who was supportive, always kept in updated about the role and things to prepare for my interview which resulted me securing that role."
Naun - Candidate - Leicester
"From the beginning, I was able to receive tips to make my CV look better and was able to successfully secure an interview within a few days. The tips and information for my interview were amazing, enabling me to go into the interview with confidence. The whole process from the initial call with Kieran to securing a job took less than a week that allowed me to enjoy Christmas in peace. Cherry Professional seems to have a strong relationship with the companies and knows the company well. I definitely recommend Cherry Professional when looking for jobs"
Karen - Candidate - Derby
"Cherry Professional are my 'go to' agency as an individual seeking employment and an HR Manager looking to recruit. From a candidate's point of view they always have access to roles which are exciting and they always match you with jobs that are a perfect fit. I have found my last two roles via Cherry and I simply wouldn't have found these great jobs without their support. They really know their candidates and their help in preparing for interviews is excellent. As a recruiting client, Cherry take the time to really understand the businesses they are working with. They take time to meet each applicant and ensure that they are the perfect fit for the role and organisation before even considering submitting a CV. They won't bombard you with candidates but the ones you get will be top quality. I wish all agencies were as professional as Cherry."
Damian - Candidate - Derby
"I was very pleased with how quick everything happened. Spoke with Ruby for less than a week and she got me a great role that I'm super excited for, usually with my experience from other agencies it can be a very long drawn out process that can take months. she was very helpful and gave me great advice regarding the interview and found a perfect role for me."
Jayne - Candidate - Nottingham
"Jen pursued me for a role which I'd not responded to her about when she'd emailed the details to me a few days earlier. I'd been unsure about the role when I first saw the email, but when Jen spoke to me about it, I became more interested and agreed (reservedly) for my cv to be put forward. Thanks to Jen I had a very constructive introductory meeting which has now led to me being offered the role. Somehow, Jen had matched me to the role, so thanks to Jen for her match-making and perseverance. Thanks too, for all her support along the way."
Luca - Candidate - Nottingham
"Actually relationship led, got to know me as a candidate and what my career goals and targets were, to then provide me with relevant roles and not just anything and everything! Felt fully supported and communicated with throughout and the in depth knowledge of the roles that I was being talked about was brilliant. Having used and spoken with many different finance recruitment companies in the East Midlands, Cherry is among the best."
Samantha - Candidate - Nottingham
"From beginning to end, from temp to perm. I've found the perfect job! I have to say that Cherry Professional are the best agency in Nottingham! They found me a temp to perm position and 3 months later I'm so happy in my new role. They are friendly, a pleasure to deal with and really know what candidates need. Highly recommended! I dealt with Kate Lavery in Nottingham and I really want her to be thanked for helping me and being the perfect consultant!
John - Candidate - Yorkshire
"Danielle was amazing. Kept in contact with me at every stage, offering advice and tips when needed, as well as encouragement and support leading up to every interview and conversation. Unlike other recruiters I have dealt with where I felt like I was just another number, I knew exactly what was happening all the time and that this was about finding the right fit for me rather than just finding any job that was available. "
Nahila - Candidate - Nottingham
"Danielle provided a first class service and gave me all the information required for the role. Danielle was open and transparent and was able to give me honest feedback. I received all the support that I needed as well as guidance on my job search. Overall extremely satisfied with the support that I have received and I would most definitely use Danielle again for my future job search and in a professional capacity. "
Martin - Candidate - Derby
"Cherry Professional lived up to their name and were totally Professional. I found the consultant Laura Harris very friendly and easy to get on with and she made the work transition very easy. I recommend anyone to use their services. I have worked with a lot of agencies in the past who have not excelled as much as Cherry Professional, especially getting a job in lock down. Well done Laura for your help.! "
Kristy - Candidate - Derby
"I dealt with a few of the consultants and all of them were great. The emails with the job overviews were great, much better than searching the website/ LinkedIn. All of the jobs emailed to me were of the right nature, I wasn’t bombarded with roles I wasn’t interested in. The team kept me briefed on progress etc. By far the best recruitment team I’ve worked with. Thank you very much"
Christopher - Candidate - Derby
"Kerry has been an outstanding consultant. She has found me two jobs in the last 12 months , her sound advice , honesty and good humour has been much appreciated and hand on heart Cherry Professional would be the first company I would call if I waslooking for another role in the future."
Magnus - Candidate - Nottingham
"I've known Cathal for a few years. We've met face to face and he's spoken to Finance Directors I've worked for so knows what I can and cannot do. This means he only contacts me with suitable roles which wastes neither my time, Cherry's nor the client's which isbest for all parties. He's also very personable and easy to talk to!"
Lee - Candidate - Nottingham
"I am over the moon to have been offered the job which I applied for, despite not looking for the job at all. I worked briefly with Kieran back in December 2019 and he still remembered my situation and got in touch as he believed the role was a great fit for me, which I believe it will be. At the start of the process I was on Holiday, Kieran knew this and took the responsibility of amending my CV and tried to bother me as little as possible in the process, and he wasn't a bother one bit. The advice provided before each telephone/skype/face to face interview proved invaluable and gave me the confidence to attack the application process. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Kieran and would recommend his services to anyone. "
Martin - Candidate - Derby
"From start to finish, I cannot fault Cherry Professional. Ruby is a fantastic Candidate Supervisor and is never too busy to talk. The ability of the team to secure employment very quickly, even in these strange times of lock-down, non-contact discussions and virtual interview processes; nothing was too much for the team at Cherry to sort. I was made redundant from one job and within two weeks was able to secure a role for what was going to be a couple of weeks to help out. This ended up being a 15 weeks temporary role that has culminated in being offered a permanent role. My thanks to all at Cherry, especially Ruby."
Marie - Candidate - Derby
"Kerry has been great, always keeping me updated with immediate responses. Was getting a slow response to my CV in general but straight away Kerry went through it and explained how things are currently (not sure if there was too much info etc) and reassured me, felt very positive after her "pep" talk. Although I am currently starting a temp role, I feel assured that Kerry will do her best and find me my new permanent job that suits my requirements and skill set. Well done Kerry, Gold Star. I have been in contact with quite afew recruiters and have had a poor response and in some cases none! Cherry definitely stands out for me"
Jeanette - Candidate - Derby
"Georgia was constantly keeping me updated with the progress of my application and answered any questions I had even after working hours. After being made redundant from a competitor, it’s so nice and refreshing that I have been so well looked after by another agency. Thanks Georgia 😁😁"
Jane - Candidate - Nottingham
No improvement needed, absolutely amazing support and I can only recommend your agency! Very helpful and profession service, dream job found within 2-3 weeks. I can only say thanks to Georgia Jonson who was looking after me and found for me a job within 2 days! Georgia was very professional, helpful, enthusiastic and friendly! Big thank you Georgia!
Sophie - Candidate - Derby
"Georgia is absolutely fantastic. She makes the job search so easy and you feel she is behind you every step of the way. She always keeps you updated and always responds quickly when you need to talk to her. Amazing in finding me my new role. Cherry Professional don't make you feel like a number."
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."
Lori - Candidate, Nottingham
"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!"
Donna - Candidate, Nottingham
"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!"
Candidate - Nottingham
"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."
Claire - Client, Derby
"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."
Simon - Client, Derby
"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."
Chloe - Candidate, Nottingham
"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"
Robert - Candidate, Nottingham
"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."
Sarah - Candidate, Derby
"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."
Angela - Candidate, Derby
"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!!"
Debbie - Candidate, Derby
"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."
Jade - Candidate, Derby
"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."
Jacqueline - Candidate, Nottingham
"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."
Suzanna - Client, Derby
"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!"
