Credentials
Any service provider can tell you how good they are. We prefer to let some of the people we have worked with tell you instead:
Employers
“They came to us highly recommended and they’ve certainly lived up to expectations. They take the time and trouble to understand the role, how the business fits together and what sort of people will succeed here. In my own department we’ve often got a requirement for specialists who can be very difficult to find, but they always seem to deliver. I don’t know how they do it, but they’re certainly very successful at it.”
Andrew Tee – Technical Director, CNP
“We’d used several of the larger, so-called industry specialists who just bombarded us with unsuitable CVs and then were referred on to Aspiration by one of the companies that handles our project management. Aspiration seemed to grasp what we needed straightaway in terms of experience, technical ability and personality. That meant they came up with people that we just knew were going to fit in with the existing team. To borrow a phrase from somewhere else, they ‘do exactly what it says on the tin’ and it also helps that they are genuinely nice people to deal with”
David Willson – Project Director, Parkridge Holdings
“We’ve been so impressed with them that, over the past four years, we’ve come to use them as an extension of our own HR function, getting them to manage other recruitment suppliers, as well as handle specific search assignments. We’ve had the confidence to do this because of the in-depth understanding they display of the sector as a whole and of our business in particular. They just seem to instinctively understand what makes an organisation tick and consequently what sort of individual is going to fit in and thrive there.”
Robert Perry – Director, CNP
“We started working with Aspiration in what you might call an ‘unconventional’ way. In fact we first came across them because they had approached one of our people on behalf of a client. They didn’t get him but he did give them a good write up so when we needed help I gave them a call. Since then they’ve found two very good senior people for us in very tough markets. They come in, get a very tight brief together, then go away and get the job done. They know what they’re doing and they don’t waste your time.”
Howard Morgan – Director, Savills
Individuals
“Very professional and perhaps, most important of all, very genuine. You can tell that they’ve gone to a lot of trouble to get a thorough brief from their client which means that they can provide you with all the information you need to tell if this is the right opportunity for you. Overall, excellent to deal with.”
Matthew Bowyer, Associate Project Director
“They’re quite possibly the first recruitment consultants I’ve dealt with who genuinely seem to care that you are right for the job and that the job is right for you. Getting an exact match seems to be their absolute priority, not the opportunity to make a quick fee. It’s a very professional approach.”
Ben Ferris – Regional Health and Safety Consultant
“Very helpful, very positive and very informative. Even though they are technically employed by their client you always feel that they are on your side and looking out for your interests, which gives you a lot of confidence in the whole process. I was really impressed.”
Andy Land, Senior Surveyor - Energy & Sustainability
“Persistent and tenacious. Totally set on getting the right role for you no matter how long it takes. And you always feel that, not only are you getting a clear and accurate portrait of the job and the company, but that they are getting exactly the same about you.”
Steve Morgan – Head of Building Consultancy
