Head of Data Transfer
“We love working with Dovetail,  as we can trust them to follow process and deal with hiring manager directly, giving us the time to work on other urgent requirements. We have had great success with candidates that Dovetail has provided and can rely them to understand both the hiring manager’s and the business’ needs when sourcing. They are very well respected for their skills and attitude within the business and will always be our first call for any difficult vacancies!”

Jenny - Bournemouth

“I can’t speak highly enough about Dovetail…! Samantha has been amazing in helping me secure my dream job.  Dovetail took the pressure and stress of job hunting off me and would always keep me in mind when new job ads became available.  This recruitment company is by far the best one I have used. They were always there at the end of the phone or email and kept in touch with me. I wasn’t forgotten if I wasn’t successful, which I had found had been the case for many other recruitment companies. They are amazing!!”

Sophie - Candidate
Thank you so much for all your help.  I had not heard of yourselves until my daughter, Hannah put me in touch with you and I can honestly say my experience with you has been amazing. I am very grateful to you for being so kind and helpful and for all the guidance you have given to me.  It has been a real pleasure dealing with you and being offered a position so promptly is fantastic.
Christine - Bournemouth

Head of Business Development
“We have been working with Dovetail Recruitment since May 2014 and always find Liz and her team to be friendly, helpful and professional. Unlike other recruitment agencies, they have taken the time to understand our business and specific needs. As a result, the candidates that are put forward by Dovetail are by far more relevant to the role and are of high standard. Dovetail have already successfully filled vacancies for us in administration, HR, marketing, accounting and yard operations and we look forward to continuing to build on our working relationship.”

“I would highly recommend Dovetail to my friends and family. They took time to find out about my requirements and only suggested positions available on this basis. To have a recruitment consultant that actually listens is very rare in my experience! I was very impressed with their professional, friendly efficient manner. Thank you again for all of your time and help, the customer service and genuine interest in my job search was outstanding.”
Kirsty - Bournemouth
I am very happy to give Dovetail Recruitment a full 5 star review. I have used them over the past few years to recruit for my team. They pre-screen candidates and I can be confident the CVs they pass over to me are relevant… Many of their candidates have been successful in the recruitment process and have gone on to become key contributors in the business. The team at Dovetail are great to work with. They listen and get to know your business and what you need, and then use all the information they have to find good candidate matches. I thoroughly recommend their personalised service.
Head of UK Retail
I recently started my new job which was secured by Dovetail recruitment. I have to say I found Tiffany and her colleagues exceptionally friendly, professional to work with. I was on the hunt for a new role for about a year. In that time I dealt with numerous agencies. I found most quite difficult to work with as it appeared to me that they were just working to their own agenda rather that searching and putting me forward for roles that best suits my needs. I attended many interviews that were a waste of time because the agents did not listen to what my skill set was and what I was looking for. However, when Dovetail contacted me about my current role they understood everything which I wanted… Read more
Alina - Bournemouth
“What a breath of fresh air! – Laura and the team worked to find me the perfect role and supported me throughout the application and interview process. Friendly and professional. Highly Recommend.”
Esther - Fordingbridge
Dovetail Recruitment were totally professional and supportive from the very first phone call. It was a pleasure to meet them in person, they listened carefully to everything I said and gave me the confidence and advice I needed to move forward. I will always recommend Dovetail as a first class recruitment agency.
Sarah - Bournemouth
“I have received an excellent service from start to finish from Liz of Dovetail Recruitment. The whole process was seamless… they kept me well informed and helped me thorough each stage of my interview. Within one week I had two interviews, was offered the job and handed in my notice! I would 100% recommend Dovetail Recruitment to anyone who is looking to change career or take a dive off the deep end – the staff are friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable and very experienced and I can’t thank them enough for all their support. I was very apprehensive to leave the Local Authority after five years, but with their encouragement and resources they have found me the perfect role and I can… Read more
Cherisse - Poole
“Dovetail Recruitment is brilliantly professional and efficient. Their personal and friendly service has been exemplary in helping me seek future employment and presented me with some excellent opportunities. They provide fantastic support along the whole process. I would highly recommend Dovetail to anyone seeking a professional career.”
David - Bournemouth
“I couldn’t recommend Dovetail Recruitment enough! I’ve had experience with lots of agencies, but Dovetail are by far the best! They go above and beyond your expectations to help you find the right job. I worked directly with Samantha, and she was great, checking up on me through every step of the process. I highly recommend.”
Mary Louise - Poole
“Incredibly helpful, friendly and lovely staff, super involved with every step including face to face coaching before the interview which helped wonders. Can’t recommend highly enough. “
Elisha - Candidate
“Laura and her colleagues were exceptionally friendly and very professional to work with. They kept me informed at all times with how the proceedings were going and I never felt I couldn’t call up and ask for their opinions. Laura and her team made me feel welcome and approached me with many different job opportunities which would best suit my abilities and interests. After two interviews I was accepted for the job. I would like to thank Dovetail for making this process so easy for me. I would recommend using them in the future.”
Ella - Bournemouth
“I have used the services of Dovetail Recruitment many times. I have always been very impressed with the level of service and support they have given me and provided my clients. The calibre of candidates they sent through were excellent with all cv’s having the relevant experience and qualifications I was looking for. Happy to recommended them to my clients & contacts as they really do “Find the perfect fit”
Financial Controller
“I’ve been delighted with the service from Tiffany, she only sends us quality candidates and manages the recruitment process very professionally.”
Chartered Financial Planner

“I cannot begin to thank the wonderful ladies at dovetail enough! Especially Suzie! Not only did they go above and beyond to help me find a job they also were friends to me when I was struggling! I can not recommend them enough for all of their support and advice. I am just about to start my new role and it is all down to them! Thank you so much!!! “

Holly - Bournemouth
“I have been thoroughly impressed with the overall service provided by Dovetail. Tiffany took the time to really understand our business and culture and has only ever provided candidates that meet our needs exactly. Sometimes too well and we have been spoilt for choice, having to recruit two people as they were both too good to let go. I can highly recommend Dovetail, as having used large National agencies in the past and believing their service and networks were superior to a local agency, I have been totally converted and know this is not the case. Dovetail are now my first port of call.”
Head of Finance
I would like to thank you, for your hard work. I have already recommended your firm to all my colleagues. After going through several agencies. You always kept me informed at each stage of the interview process, always followed each interview I attended with a curtesy call to see how things went. You have always listened. In my mind this is missing in todays agencies. As most only want the commission. Making you feel no longer  like a human but more a commodity. Keep up the sterling work and once again Thank you.
Roger - Bournemouth
“Dovetail has been amazing helping me find work in the Bournemouth area. They are driven to find the best role for candidates, with their great relationships with local businesses and knowledge of the area I would highly recommend this agency. The people are friendly, organised and have good communication, always following up on progress and results. Tiffany and Samantha both have worked above and beyond to secure my new role, couldn’t thank them enough.”
Lewis - Bournemouth
“We are a very busy company and I trust Liz’s judgement in finding the right calibre candidates to enable us to move our business forward and to do it swiftly and efficiently.”
