“These guys do exactly what they say on the tin to coin a phrase. They are certainly the most professional, organised, helpful recruitment consultants that I have ever dealt with.

Charlie was the wonderful lady that helped me, she called me we had a chat, she listened to any concerns or issues I had and then spoke to the employer and arranged an interview. I have just received an offer letter from that employer, this was all done in less than a week.

So if you want to deal with a company that really cares speak to Essential. Thank you Charlie you really are a star.”

“CFS have partnered with Essential for several years to support the recruitment of specialist roles across the business, ranging from onsite field technicians to Passive Fire Protection Managers. Throughout this time, we have consistently found the team at to be responsive, thorough in their candidate search, professional in their approach, and highly attentive to detail.

CFS has developed a strong working relationship with Essential, and our Account Manager, Dana Humphreys, continues to provide excellent support as the business grows and evolves.”

“Our company has grown very fast in a short amount of time so when it came to recruitment we came to Essential!

Grace has been our lead contact from the first moment and has been an asset to us from the beginning and I know she will be for the many more members of staff we will need as we grow.”
