  • "'' Sienna headhunted me regarding a Warehouse Management position. She had thoroughly researched the company and had an incredibly detailed grasp of the position. Her description of the job role was detailed and the spec fitted me exactly. She clearly knew the type of person she was searching for. We spoke at length several times before she put me forward for an interview. Sienna was not going to waste the company's time attempting to place people who were not suitable.  Having been accepted for interview I was briefed in detail as to what I was expected to research and the format the interview would take. Her help was invaluable and this helped me to progress to the next stage.  As I wait for the second interview she and I have spoken several times as she briefs me on what is required. She clearly knows her stuff, she's dedicated and incredibly professional. If I don't get this job at the end of this process then it's on me and me alone. I could not have asked for a more dedicated and professional person to help me find my perfect position.''   "

Thank you Sienna for your expertise''. "

    Jason, Warehouse Shift Manager
  • "“Prior to me successfully finding a new role I spent around 3-4 months actively searching the job market. This included interactions with dozens of recruiters along the way. My overall experience with recruiters was varied to say the least, with communication often being poor and having many promises broken. This however was not the case with Raj! The communication and support he offered throughout the process with Robertson Recruitment was first class. He regulary went above and beyond to provide updates on the process, and overcome issues, which were often as result of the client mind changes, in a very professional manor. I don’t think I could have genuinely have asked for more from Raj throughout the process, and he will undoubtedly be my first “port of call” if or when I next look for employment.” "
