CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:
“We have requested Blayney personnel services over the last few months in respect to finding tailored skill sets within the Derivatives confirmation arena specifically Equity & Credit products. We have received very good service in respect to CV quality, face to face meets which helped 1) put a name to a face 2) allows for greater understanding of the needs/structure of the team etc in an inclusive environment.
The efficiency of turn around and personal coverage allowed us to act quickly resulting in 2 candidates accepting offers within a week of inception of CV's. Testament to the knowledge of staff at Blayney in respect to knowing exactly what our requirements were.
I was impressed with promptness of informal follow ups, keeping in touch with where we are, providing feedback from potential candidate interviews. A very good experience to date”

"I have found Jo Blayney to be professional knowledgeable and approachable. He takes time to listen to our broader requirements, and understands that our requirements for specific roles may change subtly or dramatically. He is willing to make suggestions which spark thought in me, and makes frequent but not intrusive contact to ensure our requirements are still understood.”

“I first used Blayney personnel for my recruitment requirements 5 years ago.
They are attentive and focused in getting the right type of candidates for the position. They take time to understand the personality types required for a team, ensuring that the candidate not only has the right business skills and background but also has the character to fit in with the existing staff. They have strong communication skills, keeping the hiring manager in the picture as to the status of staff searches, and always checking whether potential candidates will be suitable before sending them for an interview meeting.”

CANDIDATE TESTIMONIALS:
“Found Blayney personnel on a job website and was very pleased and surprised at the personal service offered, encouraging and supportive when finding a role and once placed. “

“From the start of my relationship with Blayney Personnel I have felt nothing but a valid candidate on their books. Even with having little experience in the financial industry, I was made to feel at ease and as if nothing was above me. From my first meeting with Jo we discussed my wants and needs from a job in general, and where would be the best place for me to start looking.
Constant contact was there with either Jo or Heather whenever I needed advice and after I took the job that I was offered the level of concern and contact never diminished at all.
I have recommended Blayney Personnel to 2 people (one a family member) which I would never have done if I hadn't had such a great experience myself.
Thanks loads guys for everything you've done for me - I'm so chuffed and you really have been brilliant to me.”

“I'm very impressed with Blayney Personnel. I think they provide a very honest service, which is quite unusual in comparison to other agencies. This has helped me to find a job that is suitable in terms of both my work skills as well as my personality. All the staff were very pleasant and personable and always very helpful. Even now I would have no hesitation in contacting the agency should I have any questions or queries.
I would definitely recommend Blayney Personnel to others and will no doubt use them again myself in the future.”

“"I was stressed, unhappy, but too busy to look for a new job.
Blayney Personnel contacted me on a Tuesday morning, by the following Tuesday I had an offer of a new role, equally challenging and rewarding as my previous role. The agents were friendly, honest and easy to talk to; they listened to my needs and worked with me to achieve the best possible results.
Interviews schedules were flexible which really helped and the agents were rapid to respond to any queries I had. I am now working with a great team, with increased challenges yet improved work life balance. I see my friends regularly and lead a happier healthier life style. Not forgetting the added bonus I get paid more!!"
Claire Turner

"I have used Blayney Personnel for the past two years and cannot speak highly enough of them.
They provided an in-depth knowledge of the market place, giving advice on every area which allowed me to judge which institutions to apply for. They have built up a very close working relationship with their numerous clients which has allowed them to see exactly what teams I would fit best into.
“It gives me great pleasure to endorse both Heather and Jo of Blayney Personnel in the highest terms. Right from the outset I have had no doubt that both of them have believed in me and my potential, and to that end, I have received nothing but encouragement and support.
I am positive that if it wasn't for Blayney Personnel I would not have been given the opportunity to prove my worth and take my first step on a new and exciting career path”

“I am a current candidate of Blayney Personnel. I am currently an employee of Barclays Capital, a job in which Blayney Personnel placed me within several days of my joining.
During the time I have been a candidate, I have found them very helpful and very accessible. Blayney Personnel have dealt with my queries quickly and have provided me with references at short notice. I predominantly deal with Heather, and she has provided excellent service. She has a great personality.”
Ayfer Adiguzel

Unlike other agencies, once in employment the advice and support continues, to the extent that I count all employees of Blayney Personnel close friends. They continually strive to get the best for their candidates, which in turn leads to the institutions that employ them getting motivated and enthusiastic employees in return.
Blayney Personnel have managed through expert knowledge, support and advice to achieve the best situation possible, everyone wins."
