Very helpful with exceptional customer service and communication. If you're lucky enough to deal with Jessica or Alison, you're going to be alright. 5/5 - Would definitely recommend their services.

I posted my CV online to explore alternative possibilities for my future. Unexpectedly, I was approached by Jessica Elliot at P&S Personnel, who recognised great potential in me as a candidate for a couple of roles she was looking to fill. Jess made the entire recruitment process enjoyable and easy. Jess was vibrant and energetic, which was extremely contagious, making me feel excited about the roles she was advertising. Jess maintained constant contact throughout the entire process, helping me every step of the way from preparing me for my interviews, providing feedback from the potential employers and chasing responses. Jess went above and beyond to make sure I received the best experience possible. Jess was very encouraging and helped to alleviate my anxieties.

I would recommend her service to anyone looking for work, in fact I have already sent a new candidate her way. Thank you so much Jess for an amazing experience and helping me to find my next chapter, you are a real asset to your company.

I would recommend Jess to anyone she was so lovely & friendly, fantastic at the job she does if I wasnt for her & all her help I wouldn't have found the job I have and she got me in a job so quickly too. If I needed recruitment again she would be my first person to call, can't thank her enough for everything she has done for not only me but my daughter as well as she has just managed to get my daughter a job as well, fantastic!

Lost my job almost a year ago, Paul and the girls have been amazing with finding roles that suit me and my line for work. A simple courtesy text to check in and see how you are really does go a long way when you feel you have lost everything, I have just signed a full-time contract which I'm somewhat sad that I won't have dealings with everyone there at P+S no longer. But I certainly won't forget them and I will do my part to keep in contact and always remind them of the amazing work they do.
