Part of preparing for a job interview is making sure you come across as a good addition to their company. Although appearances shouldn’t matter,

TESTIMONIALS

“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’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
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! The whole team at Dovetail have been so supportive and they talked me through every step of the way, giving me valuable advice, confidence in myself and helped me get my dream job! Thank you so much to all the staff at Dovetail!!”
Joanna - Blandford
“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
“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.”
Director
“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

“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
“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.”
Director
“Dovetail Recruitment are a highly professional recruitment agency with an eye for detail & were a pleasure to deal with especially in comparison to the vast amount of recruitment agencies in operation that inevitably let you down. If you are looking for employment & want genuine, reliable, trustworthy & expert help then I cannot stress how good Dovetail Recruitment are.”
Steve - Poole
Dovetail has been very supportive with the search of my new role! They have been very responsive and helpful at all stages of the process. Highly recommend working with Dovetail. Big thank you to Francesca!
Jenny - Bournemouth
“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

“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 had a great experience with Dovetail from the point of application all the way through to feedback after interviews. Samantha and the team were really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They took time to understand what exactly I was looking for from new employment and I am very grateful for the time and effort put in.”
Jessica - Candidate
“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
“The attention given at all levels including gaining an understanding of my business and the initial selection and offering of potential candidates stands above all other agencies I have dealt with.”
Sales Director
“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
Charlotte - 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
“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
“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
Full 5 stars deserved. Friendly, professional, efficient staff. Always available and ready to help. Definitely my best experience with a recruitment agency. Highly recommended!

Chris - Ferndown
“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
“I would never have believed that I could trust a company to get the right calibre of staff that I knew I needed. Liz and the team have gone on to fill a further two vacancies for us. I would recommend Dovetail Recruitment to anyone who wants good staff.”
Finance Director
“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!”
Internal Recruiter
“Fantastic service from Liz and the team at Dovetail – really helped me build my confidence for the job interview and get the job I really wanted.”
Sally - Bournemouth
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
Dovetail are friendly and professional – Suzi is brilliant and my go-to for marketing roles in this area. 
Jo - Bournemouth
“We’ve worked with Dovetail on a recent recruitment drive. We successfully appointed two excellent sales candidates who have proved to be a great fit for our organisation. As a fast-growing business, it is great to be able to work with an agency who really understands our business and culture.”
