TESTIMONIALS

“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

“Tiffany has been absolutely fantastic. I wasn’t happy in my role and I needed a change. Recruiters always call you and try to sell you a role on more money with the same skill set- because that will benefit them commission wise. I didn’t feel I was being listened to, as to what I wanted as my situation was very unique with relocating and changing completely. Tiffany listened, understood and put two brilliant roles in front of me, both which I had an interview for. She kept in touch with me and genuinely seemed interested in who I am as an individual and not a number she can place to make her monthly target. I’ve now relocated and am a month into a role I adore. For the first time in a lon… Read more

“Tiffany has been great to work with, always professional and provides high-quality candidates. When I have contacted Tiffany she discusses the role thoroughly to find out our particular needs, in addition to this she has and in-depth knowledge of the company allowing her to determine whether a candidate will fit well within the business. Tiffany will continue to be the first call when we have a vacancy open up and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance with recruitment.”
Executive Assistant to Chairman
“My experience working with the agency was exceptional. They provided consistent support on applications and go above and beyond to ensure you are prepared for interviews. Highly recommended.”
Melanie - Wimborne
I’ve worked with Dovetail Recruitment for the last few years, both as a candidate and now a client. They really take the time to understand our business, and the qualities I’m looking for in a candidate. 
They take the time to match these criteria; so I know I can rely on them to give me several really strong contenders for a role, and they’re usually successful. 
They just know who’s going to be a great fit for us. Plus, they’re all a real pleasure to work with, very efficient – highly recommend!.  
Brand Manager
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

Chris - Ferndown
“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 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
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.

Joanna - Blandford
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
“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.”
