Candidates - Success Stories

Everyone loves a success story, and we’re no different. So here are a couple of ours.

Having hit a career development brick wall, Jane turned to us to help her move forward in a new company. During their interview with her, our consultants quickly established her main objectives, and candidly discussed her strengths and weaknesses. From here, they put together an exciting and relevant shortlist of potential employers, with Jane’s input. Success quickly followed and after receiving several offers Jane accepted a role which met her main objectives, namely promotion and salary increase. This is what Jane said:

Linea Resourcing recently assisted me in securing a fabulous placement. I know that they spent a great deal of time researching posts for me as well as making sure that my CV was the best it could be. The staff were highly professional, friendly and helpful. I won’t mention names because every single person I had contact with was of the same high standard. I was always dealt with promptly, given feedback throughout my application and offered help every step of the way. I’ve dealt with other recruitment agencies but to be honest, I’ll go to Linea Resourcing first if I’m ever looking for another job again which, hopefully, won’t be soon!

John, a professional contractor, got in touch with us when he was looking for a new consultancy assignment. He closely matched an opportunity we’d just been briefed on. Our detailed discussions with him established an excellent fit in terms of past experience, product expertise and market sector knowledge, as well as in his proven and documented history of delivering similar projects on time and on budget. Our client agreed, and within 48 hours they had interviewed John and secured his services through Linea Resourcing for a long term contract. This is what John had to say:

My company has enjoyed a professional working relationship with Linea Resourcing [for the first time] since June 2009 until June 2010, working with them as a sub-contractor. Throughout the period, Linea has provided us with highly professional support. This has been characterised with good communications, a minimum of administration, a definite lack of bureaucracy, flexibility and, importantly, very reliable and quick payment turnaround times. It’s been a pleasure to have a working relationship with everyone in Linea and the organisation as a whole.

Peter contacted us when he was facing redundancy. Having worked for the same employer for over 10 years Peter was confident in his professional abilities, but not in attending interviews. Our initial candidate discussion confirmed this, so our consultants worked with Peter to develop his interview technique and build his confidence. Over the following weeks Peter attended several interviews through us and was successfully appointed by one of our clients. These are Peter’s comments:

I appreciate so much your support with my first and second interview for the role as Continous Improvement Leader. I found the profile for the role generated was very useful during the research of the company and the preparation for the interviews. I also found that the encouragement that you both gave me was inspiring. My experience with Linea Resourcing has been one of highly professional and dedicated recruitment consultants who really raise the level of customer service. Thank you for all your help.

Alan is a Senior Manager within the high technology manufacturing environment. When his unit was earmarked for relocation to another country, Alan had the option of moving with the plant or taking redundancy. He contacted us for advice, and an understanding of the market conditions and opportunity for him in the UK. After our initial discussion with him, we quickly identified a client with massive synergies to Alan’s background. Having agreed with Alan that we would represent him to our client, he was appointed by them at a senior level within 3 days. Alan said at the time:

Thought I would drop you a note just to once again thank you for facilitating this opportunity for me. I appreciate the professionalism, courtesy and most important for us candidates, keeping me up to date with developments during the process. It also may well be a record in the speed at which it happened! I will certainly look forward to using you for future recruitment needs in my new role and will have no hesitation in recommending you and your company to others.
