Report
I visited the offices of Head Resourcing with my daughter who is currently looking for work in Edinburgh and was greeted by a professional, welcoming and warm staff member. The reason for my review is because even though my daughter is looking for a job in a different field, John was still so helpful and friendly and didn't just shut the door in our faces like some recruitment agencies would do! We even left with a list of other agencies who might be able to help and also some recommendations of tourist things to visit in the local area.
Thank you John for giving my daughter the hope and confidence boost she needed as now she knows that not all recruitment agencies are the same and there are some genuinely nice people still out there!

These guys are honestly the cream of the crop - I couldn't have found a better agency if I tried. In particular, I'd like to thank Paula and Callum who went the extra mile to help me get my dream job. They are such lovely people who put my needs and happiness first and foremost before anything else. They even took me for a celebratory coffee and chat after it all. Cheers, David.

Having worked with Head Resourcing, I have to say they are the best in the business by far. The level of professionalism is beyond anything I have ever seen before in an agency but at the same time I felt like I was dealing with real human beings who care and not some corporate machine with pound signs in their eyes. Special mention needs to be made to Leigh Dickson who is the most down to earth, knowledgeable yet feisty recruiter I have had the pleasure of working with.
I felt like she had my back 100% of the time and I could rely on her without any doubt. Special mention also goes to Jon Shenton who led me through the on-boarding process with such care and professionalism, I knew I had the right agency from day one. So personable, knowledgeable and upbeat, it was an absolute delight to speak to him, even if I was phoning up to ask for advice on my timesheet or for copies of my contract.
My sincere thanks to everyone at Head Resourcing and I hope to work with you again in the future. I hope you all stay safe and well during these unprecedented times. With staff like this, you will stand the test of time and will survive whatever is thrown at you. Thank you.
