TESTIMONIALS

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

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.

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
“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

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.

“Dovetail Recruitment have always provided us with a friendly and very professional service. They worked at getting a great understanding of the business needs and our company culture. From this, they have provided candidates that have been a good “fit” for our business and made our recruitment process painless and cost-effective.”

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.

“We have extensively used Dovetail Recruitment for the past 7 years. Dovetail spend time with us to ascertain exactly what our requirements are for each role. Liz and her team always act very promptly, sending us shortlisted CVs once they’ve met prospective candidates. I would not hesitate in recommending Dovetail for their high level of service, quick responses and professionalism.”
