Client testimonials

  • Hays logo

    I am writing to thank you for the service I have received from Gradsouthwest.com over the past year. I have been using Gradsouthwest.com for my recruitment of trainee recruitment consultants for over a year now with great success. The process is simple and effective. I am able to target my audience in order to maximise my chances of recruiting effectively and therefore keeping the costs to a minimum.

    Gradsouthwest.com have provided me with excellent candidates to interview and over the past year I have appointed five new trainee consultants through this service. I find the process simple and effective. Aimee and Fiona have been excellent with their accuracy and efficiency. They are friendly and understand the type of person I am looking to recruit. The process is very quick and I start to receive applications the following day from submission of the advert. Aimee and Fiona follow up with me throughout the process to ensure I am receiving applications.

    I would happily recommend this service to other employers who are seeking keen, intelligent and ambitious graduates to join their business.

  • Amcor logo

    I am happy to say that we have received great results from using the Gradsouthwest.com site and the plain text targeted email which provides us with a well targeted campaign. As you know, all of our recent recruitment for customer services and marketing has been organised through Gradsouthwest.com using both the website and the targeted email and we have received excellent results from this. We will continue to utilise your services.

    Human Resources Manager, Amcor Flexibles
  • Clarks logo

    Over the past few months Clarks have had some really exciting roles which were suitable for recent graduates. We already knew Gradsouthwest was an effective way to attract graduates and students, but it really has exceeded our expectations. On numerous occasions we’ve even had to expire roles before the closing date, as there were already so many great candidates to sift through.

    Account Executive, Thirty Three (recruiting on behalf of Clarks) 
  • Sponge logo

    We found Gradsouthwest.com an excellent resource for recruiting graduates. Within three weeks we were able to fill two vacancies. The marketing options for having a banner ad on the homepage and the facility to send out targeted emails made a big difference. The service is reasonably priced and the staff were very quick and responsive to our needs.

    I would have no hesitation in recommending Gradsouthwest.com as a very effective way to recruit graduates.

    Managing Director, Sponge UK
  • SuperStars logo

    As we had a number of vacancies to fill, I chose to use a branded targeted email to make a big impact and reach the right graduates. I arranged for three extra members of staff to be in our office the day after the email was sent to manage the enquiries generated by the targeted email. The response exceeded our expectations. So far, we have interviewed over 180 candidates from this Gradsouthwest campaign and offered jobs to 24 applicants with more in the pipeline. The Gradsouthwest team provided an excellent, quick and professional service to send the targeted email in a short turnaround time from my initial order.

    Recruitment Manager, SuperStars
