“I would happily recommend anyone to work with Luke and Abbie. From the first time they spoke to me about the role it was clear they understood the client and the role. It was handled in a friendly and professional manner, I was always kept updated and it made the whole process easy. A great experience, and I'll definitely use them if I need to hire in the future”.
"Big enough to have reach across a broad range of FS firms and small enough to personally care. I have no hesitation in recommending Luke and his team at Birchlake, to both potential candidates and hiring firms in both the interim and permanent recruitment market. Highly professional and very personable, I know they have my best interests at heart and trust them implicitly."
"Thoroughly recommend! My experience with Birchlake recruitment has been excellent. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been very helpful and friendly. The contract I was placed on was a good fit and at a good pay rate. Abbie at Birchlake consistently checks in and makes me feel well taken care of."
"Luke represented me for my recent placement at Sidekick Money and I couldn’t fault him. The way he professionally and calmly handled the process from the initial approach through to closing the placement was impressive. He is very transparent, reliable and a pleasure to work with."
"My interaction with Abbie was amazing as an international student navigating the business world. It was welcoming and cordial right away when we made contact. She spent the time necessary to fully grasp my issues and goals while responding to my inquiries and keeping in touch with me throughout the hiring process. Her exceptional expertise and personal touch put me at ease throughout the process. I appreciate Abbie's attitude, approach and genuineness.
Thank you Abbie for helping me launch my career, and I won't hesitate to recommend you to others or get in touch with you in the future if I require any recruitment services."
"I have no hesitation in recommending Luke and his firm. He is a very professional recruiter with outstanding care for his candidates whom treats like human beings, and that is another reason that makes him stand out for me. Luke approached me with a role he thought would be suitable for me and matched my skill set. He was well informed of the role on offer and ensured what I was looking for was relevant to relate this to the opportunity and at the same time he was able to explain the culture of the business and make sure I was a suitable fit etc. He then contacted the business, discussed my suitability, resulting in an interview and ultimately me securing the position. Throughout the process Luke kept me informed and updated on progress. He was able to brief me and give me suitable insight regarding the interview and process as a whole. So thank you Luke, for your attitude, your approach and your professionalism and but above all for helping me land this fantastic role!"
“Whilst working with Luke regarding a recent job change, he took the time to really understand my background, where I was at in my career and also what was important to me. This, coupled with the fact that I found Luke’s general nature to be very reassuring (I never felt like ‘just another candidate’), meant that the whole process felt smooth and effortless.
Should I need recruitment services in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Luke again - or recommend him to others.”
"I had been looking to relocate across counties for personal reasons and as a candidate, keen to find the right Recruiter to search and suggest suitable options. I struck gold when I met Luke. He really listened to my needs, experience and aspirations and was a fantastic support all the way through the recruitment process - something I hadn’t been through for a while at that time. He found a great match - testament to the fact I still work at the organisation he placed me in today."
Working with Luke was about an easy experience as can be when it came to changing jobs right through from initial contact to onboarding.
He took the time to understand my needs as a jobseeker as well as the needs of the company that was hiring. He was very approachable and speedy with his responses when I had any questions, got me the best offer first and even made sure to check in on me even on his days off!
Fantastic recruiter, I will definitely consider working with Luke in the future should I be on the job market myself or if I'm looking to recruit.
"My experience of the recruitment industry, as a candidate, has been rather hit and miss.
Luke stands out as a diligent, focused and personable operator who kept me informed, remained clear and plain in his communication and - crucially in my view - treated me like a person not merely a revenue generating resource. It's a shame there are not more like him"
