Oops she did it again, Diane Abbott makes the wrong impression! Public Speaking is a skill – here are some tips on how to get it right. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to chuckle once again at the latest gaffe from Diane Abbott – let’s face it, her appearances are becoming a bit of a

Top Tips for Presentations: Do’s & Don’ts

Interviews can be nerve-wracking enough – thinking about your body language, to thinking and rehearsing questions to ask – there’s a lot to remember and prepare. Then to make matters worse – the employer asks that you do a presentation as part of the process – so even more preparation is involved. See below for our

TESTIMONIALS

Full 5 stars deserved. Friendly, professional, efficient staff. Always available and ready to help. Definitely my best experience with a recruitment agency. Highly recommended!
Erika - 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
“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
“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.”
Head of Data Transfer
“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
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
“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
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 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
“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’m truly grateful for the support and guidance given to me throughout my job hunting process. Their knowledge and experience has proved invaluable and as an added bonus their pleasant manner and highly personable demeanour has made them a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended!
Amy - Bournemouth
“Dovetail Recruitment are a very quick, friendly, and professional job recruitment agency. Keep you informed every step of the way. I would strongly recommend this agency for absolutely anyone. Looking forward to starting my new job!”
Chris - Ferndown
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
“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 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
“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 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

I would highly recommend Dovetail to anyone seeking a professional career.”

David Q - Candidate

“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!

My experience with Dovetail Recruitment has been unexpectedly pleasant and rewarding. I have been very pleased with your friendly and efficient service tailored to meet my needs and professional requirements. You are reliable, efficient, professional and truthful.

Marc - London
“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
“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
“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

CAD Engineer
“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
“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.”
Operations Manager
“I have used Dovetail Recruitment for a good while now and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any candidate or business. They go above and beyond to find you the perfect candidate and I am always very impressed with their level of service and professionalism. Look no further if you’re looking for a recruitment agency that will find you the right staff.”
Head of Business Development
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
