Another agency where the recruiters are salesmen and not recruiters since they just work for their daily activity. I think that it is ridiculous getting contacted by a recruiter for a role and one email after the same recruiter said that my Cv does not report the requested knowledge. Dear recruiters, please bear in mind that you work with people and for people who are looking for a job!

My consultant (Reshma) was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in both securing me a role and supporting me during. The back office staff go out of their way to make sure you get all your benefits even when you aren't aware of them. Fantastic group of people, you will be very well looked after.

Jordain was a pleasure to work with throughout the recruitment process, and provided excellent advice and help on all levels. There was a key focus on finding the right role for me from the outset, and Jordain was great at keeping in touch with updates and handing any issues. Very good, well rounded, personal service! He is very knowledgeable about the video and digital marketing industry. He was able to give me some fantastic advice and helped me to secure a great job! 100% recommended :

Over the last 20 years whilst being either freelance or when searching for my next permanent role, I've never hesitated in teaming up with Aquent. I don't have to be worried about quality, it's not an extra, it's always part of any job role where Aquent are concerned. Of course, Agencies need to fill positions, but with Aquent it's not just a filling in exercise, you both work as a team to find that right fit. I would not hesitate in contacting Aquent and the team in order to help you secure your next job.

Aquent have been wonderful and managed to find me contracts since last year. I highly recommend Holly on the team as she's been the best person to place me for Digital/Print/Image sourcing/resizing roles. They have nice Central London offices which are easy to get to should you visit them. Do pick up the phone if you have a design type background and speak with them as I guarantee they will find you a role which is both enjoyable and challenging.
You'll definately also build up your portfolio, technical and communication skills with the contracts you land through Aquent. Jonny is very personable on the team and Michal is great for things like permanent roles. You've got nothing to lose and these guys will help you achieve your potential. Happy times! Oh and they visit you on the job once in a while (bearing gifts if it's Christmas) which is always nice! :)
