"Changing jobs is a stressful exercise but The Works made it painless. I found the team to be thoroughly professional in its approach and was the only consultancy I spoke to that understood my brief and didn't waste my time with pointless opportunities. Throughout every stage of my hunt, I felt that I was a valued client' and not just another commission opportunity. I have now secured a fantastic role thanks to Lynne's team and would not hesitate recommending them to others."
Director - Rainier PR
"The Works are a very professional outfit that I have and will continue to recommend to other candidates for their very personal service. They recognise and respect the pressures that a candidate faces during interviewing and regularly put forward ideas that are relevant rather than bombard you with suggestions that don't meet your ambitions. Their presentation of clients obviously yields results and contacts with PR agencies are very good."

"The Works helped me find a great new role without compromising the job I was doing at the time."

"The Works is the only recruitment consultancy I would recommend to anyone who is seriously looking for a job in PR. The support I have received in finding an adequate placement has been a truly unique experience. The Works did a fantastic job in taking the time to thoroughly identify my specific skill set and matching it to a suitable company. I am truly happy in my role, which I would have not found, had I not consulted The Works."
Executive - Brunswick
"I would always use The Works above any other recruitment consultancy. The personal attention I received demonstrated that my interests were the most important thing. Sometimes with recruitment you get the feeling that you're a square peg being forced into a round hole, whereas The Works will tell you if they think a position isn't right for you, rather than send you off to any old interview."
Media relations executive - Norton Rose
"The Works stands out amongst all recruitment consultancies that I have ever come across for their honesty, perceptiveness and straightforward talking. You get a real sense that they know the market and care about your career, not just rushing their candidates into the fastest vacancy possible.
Testament to this is that I have recommended The Works to several ex-colleagues and friends who have also found great jobs."

"What really made The Works stand out for me was the time they spent really getting to know me and what I wanted for my next career move. I was never contacted for jobs that weren't relevant (which I can't say for other agencies) and The Works even proactively contacted companies on my behalf, pitching my skills and expertise. There was never any question of them just mailing out my CV to a blanket list. Every move was pre-agreed and personal."
Senior account director - Immediate Future
"The Works was the first recruitment agency I turned to when looking to change employment and due to positions they manage and their approach to the whole recruitment process, they were the only agency I ended up using! From my initial meeting with The Works to when I started my new role, the whole process was handled in a professional, friendly, approachable and honest manner. The ability to match candidates to relevant contracts, rather than the horror stories of your resume turning up everywhere, including your boss' desk, was refreshing and a testament to their team. I hope that I won't need their services again for a long while, but I won't hesitate in recommending them to others"
EMEA PR manager - MessageLabs
"The Works team maintains contact with you throughout your career, ensuring that they always have the most current understanding of your professional progress, goals and aspirations. Unlike some recruiters who make you to re-introduce yourself each time a new opportunity arises, The Works is always prepared find you a best fit, as and when you need. Lynne's personal and honest approach, alongside her intimate knowledge of the culture of each agency, has helped me find the right environment for my aspirations, work style and level of experience. I can say without hyperbole that she has been an invaluable partner in my quest for career advancement."
Senior account director, technology - Hill & Knowlton
"I was extremely impressed by not only the level of professionalism shown by Sarah and the rest of the team at The Works, but the dedication they provide to their candidates. It was the personal service which makes them stand out in their field - calls were always returned within the day, potential positions were carefully sourced and discussed with me in advance before any contact was made and Sarah followed up with me once I had started my new position to check everything was going smoothly. Ultimately, I felt the company really listened to what I wanted in a new career and was continually on hand with the advice and expertise needed to help me achieve it.
Having previously spoken to several other potential recruitment agencies, they are definitely different in the quality of service they provide. It is obvious by their extensive client list and the positive comments from prospective employers at interviews, that they also provide an equally high level of service to their clients.
Sarah helped to find me an ideal role to progress in my career at a company which she rightly identified as being extremely right for me - both professionally and personally. I would highly recommend The Works to both employers and candidates."
