I had an excellent experience with Charlotte at Jobshop UK. I uploaded my CV and received a call a few days later with a job opportunity and by the end of the week I'd had my interview and been offered the job! Charlotte was so friendly and supportive throughout, preparing me for the interview and keeping me updated every step of the way. Would definitely recommend Jobshop UK to anyone!

Adrienne contacted me about a role that she thought would suit me, and she wasn't wrong. I went to the office to fill out forms and all the staff were very friendly as they have been with any contact I've had with them. Very professional, organised and friendly. Not a bad word to say. Thank you for finding me the ideal role.

I had never used an agency before - I worked for the same company for 32 years before losing my job in the early months of the Pandemic - but I am so pleased that I contacted Jobshop UK. The service provided by Frances and her team has been amazing throughout. They are thoroughly professional and efficient as well as being very friendly and approachable. I started a temporary part-time contract earlier this month and am really enjoying my new role. Thank you Jobshop!
