“I have already recommended two friends to contact Next Phase”

This was the best recruitment process I've been through. Next Phase listened to me and what I wanted and made sure I was the best fit for the role before putting me forward. They helped to make sure I was thoroughly prepared for the interview and kept me updated right the way through. I have already recommended two friends to contact Next Phase.

“Kind, approachable and a great listener”

As a candidate for a role that Gabby was recruiting for - I found her to be kind, approachable and a great listener - she understood what I needed and ensured that any position she put me forward for matched my wants and needs. The process was really smooth and thanks to Gabby I am now working at a great company doing what I love. Thanks Gabby - I really appreciate your help and for always being available if I need anything.

“A pleasure to work with”

I highly recommend Next Phase for their support, communication skills and integrity. From the first time they reached out to me with an opportunity they have been a pleasure to work with. The regular contact during my application, interview and job acceptance was helpful without being intrusive. Now that I have started my new position they still continue to check in with me and go above and beyond my previous experiences with recruiters.

“Highly professional manner”

Adrienn is a force of good and a great head hunter. She secured my recent career move in a highly professional manner. She was in constant touch with me updating me all the way and checking on me. Her calls are ongoing after my move. She adds her great personal touch to make it a friendship rather than a client relationship. Highly recommend her.

“Smooth and Straightforward”

Thanks to Next Phase for all of your work on this and for making the whole process really smooth and straight forward. This is a really exciting career step for me and I massively appreciate you bringing all the elements together to get us to the successful offer. I've been working with several recruiters the last few months and it's been very refreshing to work with someone who obviously takes the time to read up on the position/company and keeps things very transparent and straightforward!
