Real stories from real people

Holly has been in regular contact with me for a number of years and has always kept herself up to date with my career and aspirations. We spoke on a number of occasions during my period of furlough in 2020 and then again in 2021 when I began to worry about the future of my role and the risk of redundancy. This has been a challenging year for me personally and professionally and I have always known that Holly had my best interests at heart at all times. No matter how I was feeling at the time I always felt better after every conversation with her and that takes some amazing interpersonal skills! Holly is the embodiment of a recruitment professional and is knowledgeable, communicative, and motivational. Her insight has been invaluable and she has been a huge source of support and comfort to me particularly in this last and most challenging year. She is an absolute credit to Foundation and to the industry as a whole and I could never thank her enough for her assistance in finding me my dream job with such a great company! I have been registered with Foundation for many years and throughout this time I have found them to be the most professional, consistent, and knowledgeable recruitment specialist I have ever dealt with. Over the years I have spoken to Shaunagh, Danielle, and Holly and all have delivered the same consistent level of service. I would have no doubts about recommending Foundation to friends, colleagues, and other business associates and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.

I have worked with Foundation Recruitment as a candidate and also as a client. Having had a consistently positive experience over the past 3 years, I would be happy to recommend the team to others in the future. Danielle had strong communication skills and was great at following up quickly - she understood the demands of my wider role and worked around my schedule to ensure the whole process flowed smoothly. Through Danielle’s thorough qualification interviews and detailed introductions, I was able to make an informed decision on the candidates and we are very pleased with the result. The whole recruitment process was organized, efficient and beneficial to our business.

I really would like to express my gratitude to Lukas Turner for his help during the recruitment process recently. Lukas was a pleasure to deal with and was always available to talk to me, and very quick to respond to my calls and emails. Lukas is a positive and supportive individual and a credit to your company. Lukas throughout the whole process made me feel at ease and made me feel important. The whole process with Lukas was very smooth and I was very happy with how the whole process played out. Excellent experience overall and I wish Lukas and your team continued success

We have always found Alex Rowbottom to be professional, competent, and friendly. She really took the time to get to know our business and culture, so that she is able to provide a great selection of skilled and diverse candidates every time! Foundation Recruitment always delivers a high standard of customer service to us. In the short time we have been using them, they quickly made it to the top of our PSL! The video interviews, including bookmarks to easily skip to relevant areas of questioning, have made our recruitment process even more efficient. It is a real-time saver for both us and the candidates.

Lukas was effective, efficient, and concise. A difficult market to work in due to location, and he never gave up. Lukas was open to and very welcoming of, feedback throughout the process to ensure he not only found the successful candidate but acted as a true extension of the McArthurGlen brand. Lukas also gave us feedback and advice, delivered honestly and directly, which supported us in securing the desired outcome. Having secured my role at McArthurGlen via Foundation Recruitment, and working with the business for a number of years, I'd highly recommend them as a recruitment partner as both a candidate and client.

Lukas built strong relationships with hiring managers and internal stakeholders by communicating regularly, effectively and honestly. His approach was consultative and he demonstrated his market knowledge, expertise and ability on multiple occasions during this challenging piece of recruitment. Our business was confident throughout the process that any setbacks or challenges would be overcome by Lukas and had faith in his ability to influence from the start, a true consultant!
