Lisa Dorey, Senior HR Managing Consultant
I have worked closely with Skillsearch for approximately 5 years and am very happy to provide a reference to demonstrate ongoing satisfaction with the service they have consistently delivered. Although I have worked at 3 different organisations, Skillsearch has been very effective in ensuring they really understood the way I preferred to recruit and the culture I was operating within. Once this was established, I always knew I could count on them to provide me with a closely refined shortlist of candidates who met my requirements exactly. This is refreshingly different from many of their competitors who prefer to deluge their clients with a scatter-gun approach hoping they will find what they are looking for from a multitude of CV's.
The Skillsearch team always work with energy and enthusiasm on all requirements, no matter how challenging and are able to move quickly, which is essential in securing talented individuals. They have proved totally reliable and act with integrity. It feels like a real partnership where they are open and honest about any concerns they may have about a candidate’s suitability for a role if it is particularly difficult to match the requirements from skills available in the marketplace. Skillsearch are passionate about ensuring a good fit and have placed many permanent and contract roles with my teams over the years. Any issues that have arisen have been dealt with professionally and sensitively.
I have no hesitation in recommending Skillsearch for their recruitment expertise, outstanding client relationship management and quality service.
Kevin Gavaghan, Freelance PeopleSoft HCM Technical Consultant
I have been involved with Skillsearch since 1997, when I was a PeopleSoft Consultant with a large international technology consultancy. Skillsearch placed me with a Big 5 Consultancy where I rose from Senior Consultant to Manager before leaving to work as a freelance consultant.
Since our first encounter I have remained in close contact with Skillsearch, both on a contractor basis and on occasion as a representative of my clients, helping them to fill resource requests. I have always found Skillsearch to be both professional, friendly and easy to work with and would count Skillsearch among the first companies I would contact when looking for work for myself or when trying to fill a skills gap for a client.
