Dan Busbridge
Rapanui has been working with IOW jobs for over 2 years now. They have helped us in recruiting several talented individuals on the Isle of Wight, some starting off as apprentices and some as full time employees. Rapanui is a company that is doubling each year, so it is critical for us to recruit talented, enthusiastic and eager to learn people who will help grow the company. The service that IOW jobs has provided to us has been more than adequate in assisting with our recruitment process and we will be continuing to work with them for the foreseeable future.
Cindy Dyer
Thank you so much for your fast, efficient and professional service, which is seriously good value for money. We had an amazingly quick response and have been extremely impressed with both your service and the quality of the majority of the candidates. We would definitely recommend Isle of Wight Jobs and will certainly be using you from now on for all of our employment opportunities.
Paula Wright
The service we have received from IOW jobs has been fantastic, we have always challenged them with very specific needs and skills and on each occasion they have provided us with a quality list of applicants. We will always use them for recruitment and highly recommend them to other Isle of Wight business when looking for new staff.
Lizzie Wade
Having now used IOW jobs a few times to recruit staff for the business I have found them to be very professional, I particularly like the personal touch as things can get lost in translation in emails so they will just pick up the phone and chat things over to get a full understand of our requirements so that we employ the right people into the right roles.
Kathy Chillistone
