<p>I was looking to work with an agency who could help me with a team rebuild. I chose to work with Advance because they were recommended by a number of colleagues who had received excellent advice, service and results from using them.</p><p>They have been able to provide excellent candidates some of whom are enjoying sustained sales success. In addition Dave and Liv are always contactable and provide sound advice. They have helped us reach our goals by providing a service that really understands our needs and as a result providing candidates that are a good fit for our business.</p><p>They are easy to work with, knowledge and proactive and I will definitely continue to use Advance and recommend Dave and the team to other sales organisations.</p>

<p>Karen has been my preferred recruiting partner for many years due to her consistent and reliable record of providing best fit candidates. Karen takes the strain out of the hiring process, freeing up organisation time to focus on other priorities. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen as a trusted partner for straightforward and more niche candidate sourcing needs.</p>

Sarah Cooper

<p>I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for introducing Sam to us. He's been a fantastic addition to our sales team, hitting the ground running and already making a real impact. His experience and enthusiasm have been evident from day one, and we're really pleased to have him on board. We truly appreciate your support in finding such a strong candidate. Looking forward to staying in touch for any future opportunities. Thanks once again!</p>

Paul Iddon

<p class="x_MsoNormal">I believe we have got a candidate that I will work well with and is aligned with the company culture, but also with a forward thinking, winning mentality, which is what we need currently.</p><p class="x_MsoNormal">From my side, it was a good process from beginning to end and we could not have done it without your support in the challenging timelines we had. Thank you for that!!!</p><p class="x_MsoNormal">In the interviews the candidate confirmed that his personality and management style were aligned with what we need.</p><p class="x_MsoNormal">At the end, there were other good candidates, but he was the best, all-rounded and balanced candidate that we were looking for.</p>

Hugo Costa

<p>Always a pleasure working with Karen</p>

Chris Organ

<p>Thanks a lot for the great collaboration. I was happy with how you managed the process and the follow-up.</p>

Marjan Verbeeck

<p>At the time we were doing a recruitment drive and the lead from the recruitment panel had worked with Advance Recruitment previously and had very good things to say about their calibre of candidates and the professionalism in which they conducted business. This was what made us choose Advance Recruitment. What made us stay, and what made me recommend them to everyone I work with, was how they handled a specific recruitment issue what was sensitive. In any other situation we could have lost the potential candidate, but Liv ensured our relationship with the candidate remained positive and 12 months later, the candidate was placed.</p><p>I cannot emphasise enough that with Advance Recruitment, we would not have secured the candidate. Their professionalism and commitment is really unmatched in my experience. The most significant benefits to working with Advance is the easy access, open and transparent communication and trust. We are still in an employees market, where the number of potential candidates is so high that it is challenging to determine who is the best fit. We have hired a number of candidates from Advance Recruitment and they have all been successful candidates that fit our company culture. This is a testament to the efforts Advance put into understanding their customers, what&rsquo;s important to them and shortlisting only the most suitable candidates.</p><p>Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is of huge importance to us as a company and this is well reflected in Advance's efforts.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s seamless, easy and stressless working with Advance Recruitment! They went the extra mile for us with the candidate mentioned above - if I was the candidate, I don&rsquo;t think I would have stayed as interested in the role, due to the length of time it took to close. I genuinely believe the way Advance managed the situation sensitively, closely and honestly had a direct impact on the result. Over a 12 month period, they stayed in touch and well informed.</p><p>I actively have and will continue to recommend Advance to my colleagues. I have worked with many recruitment agencies in my career and I will always use Advance Recruitment.</p>

Sunny Sohal

<p>I had come across Advance Recruitment several months ago as I had been receiving useful content, not just around hiring the right talent but also about more generic leadership including employee retention and sales growth planning etc. &nbsp;I wasn&rsquo;t getting any of the do you have any vacancies that we can assist you with&rsquo; type of communications, and it made me think that this is a company that will go the extra mile. This persuaded me to give them a go and not go down my usual path of using the same recruitment agencies.</p><p>Liv really listened to what I had to say during our initial contact and briefing call - we&rsquo;re a smaller company and it was important that we hire the right type of person who would not only fit in but also thrive in the unique environment we have at our company.</p><p>It&rsquo;s a pleasure to work with Advance. I let the team get on with their job to find me suitable candidates and also help with the communications and logistics throughout the interview process. I didn&rsquo;t feel any pressure from the team. Some recruiters are overly eager to push candidates and constantly chasing me for updates. This can be annoying.</p><p>They worked hard to search for potential employees for us. This saved me a lot of time and the 3 candidates provided to me were all of good quality and fitted the brief that I had provided. This saved me a lot of time - of which is very limited!</p><p>Liv Riley-Royce managed the recruitment process. She was extremely professional in her manner, listened (very important), clear in her communications and overall a pleasure to work with. This was the easiest recruitment process I&rsquo;ve been through (I&rsquo;ve been through many!).&nbsp;</p><p>I would absolutely recommend Advance Recruitment for hiring new talent. They clearly have a good network of connections to good people and are very easy to work with. It&rsquo;s a 10/10 from me.&nbsp;</p>

Spencer Martin

<p>I&rsquo;d known Liv and Advance Recruitment for some time, and when I was recruiting reps for a new team, I knew Liv could help me find candidates which would support my vision.</p><p>Liv had recruited for friends in other medtech companies, and had also recruited for other divisions within Teleflex, so I knew she could do a good job for me.</p><p>Advance Recruitment are very thorough in their approach. They listened to what I wanted and provided candidates who met the brief I had outlined.</p><p>I would definitely recommend colleagues and people I know to work with Advance. They really listen to what you are looking for and will endeavour to put candidates forward they know would suit the culture of the business.</p>

Nana Eneh

<p>Ever since moving to the Medical Industry I have had a positive relationship with Advance Recruitment whether that be with Dave, Karen or Liv. They have always been professional in their approach and never pushed roles but always given their time to understand where I am at. I therefore had no hesitation to utilise Advance&rsquo;s services to recruit for my current vacancies where they have provided excellent candidates.</p>

<p><strong> How did you discover Advance Recruitment - what specific talent problem were you looking to solve?</strong> I had known Karen for many years and when we wanted a new provider we looked across the market and interviewed three prospective companies and we felt that Karen and the team match most closely with us and our ethos, aligning with our core values fully understanding what we were looking for in terms of recruitment.</p><p><strong> What made you initially choose to work with Advance Recruitment, and what has influenced you to continue the relationship?</strong> Trust in the fact that all candidates will be well vetted and only presented to us when all checks have been made and they are confident that they have found a solid potential candidate, in essence each potential candidate represents Advance every time they come to interview.</p><p><strong> What have been the most significant benefits you have received from working with Advance Recruitment?</strong> More time focussing on quality CV&rsquo;s rather than potentially speculative attempts.</p><p><strong> How has Advance Recruitment and our services helped you reach your talent attraction and team goals?</strong> By sticking to the brief each time and having close communication / updates throughout the process, good communication is key to any relationship but especially in recruitment.</p><p><strong> What is it like to work with Advance Recruitment?</strong> Smooth!</p><p><strong> What is an example of how I, or we, went &ldquo;the extra mile&rdquo; to serve you?</strong> I think really here its attention to detail and if you have any minor doubt you always let me know and are honest and upfront, this allows me to weigh up the options and make a decision on a candidate.</p><p><strong> How willing would you be to recommend colleagues and people you know to work with Advance Recruitment?</strong> I already have!</p>

Simon Morton

<h3>How did you discover Advance &ndash; what specific talent problem were you looking to solve?</h3><p>I&rsquo;ve used Advance in the past as a candidate and was given your details by my previous manager. I wanted to recruit experienced sales professionals for devices and pharmaceuticals and needed a recruitment agency that was experienced in recruiting within our sector.</p><h3>What made you initially choose to work with Advance, and what has influenced you to continue the relationship?</h3><p>Everyone at Advance is extremely approachable, experienced in the industry and has good knowledge of the business. I have continued to use Advance because they understand our business and the type of candidates that would fit into our company culture</p><h3>What have been the most significant benefits you have received from working with Advance?</h3><p>Good communication, knowledge of the market and successful placing of candidates</p><h3>How has Advance and our services helped you reach your talent attraction and team goals?</h3><p>Advance has done the legwork so we don&rsquo;t have to!</p><h3>What is it like to work with Advance?</h3><p>Easy, open and honest relationship.&nbsp; You feel like you are talking to someone who understands what you are looking for</p><h3>What is an example of how I went &ldquo;the extra mile&rdquo; to serve you?</h3><p>We had a recent candidate that was considering pulling out of the interview process but we worked together and Liv managed to change their minds and I was glad she did as they were the perfect candidate for the role and got the job!</p><h3>How willing would you be to recommend colleagues and people you know to work with us?</h3><p>I would highly recommend Advance recruitment and especially Liv!&nbsp; Liv is great to work with and we have placed many successful candidates within our business due to her hard work and determination.</p>

Suzanne Oldham

<h3>How did you discover Advance &ndash; what specific talent problem were you looking to solve?</h3><p>Arthrex is a leading company for sports medicine &amp; specialist orthopaedics and really differentiates itself from our competitors through its fast innovation as well as technical expertise.</p><p>As a result we have a high expectation of the people we employ to ensure they are in line with our company values and meet these high standards. This does make recruiting and finding &lsquo;the right candidate&rsquo; that more challenging!</p><p>When I joined Arthrex 4 years ago, the sales team was very homogeneous and lacked diversity particularly with gender and ethnicity.</p><p>As a leadership team we wanted to create a more diverse, better rounded and inclusive culture and salesforce of high performing individuals.</p><p>It was Amy, our HR Manager who put me in touch with Advance Recruitment.</p><h3>What made you initially choose to work with us, and what has influenced you to continue the relationship?</h3><p>I believe part of cause for the lack of diversity was down to the company using the same couple of recruiters for years, so I was open to try and work with new recruiters who understood what we were trying to achieve and why.</p><p>In my experience, most recruiters these days are pretty good at asking the type of candidates I&rsquo;m looking for.</p><p>However the difference comes in actually delivering on this as well as how hard they work to seek out the candidates we&rsquo;re looking for.</p><p>On the whole I&rsquo;ve been impressed by the quality of candidates you have put forward &ndash; they have all been well considered and generally matched the criteria we are looking for as described above.</p><p>I appreciate its been a challenging time finding suitable candidates however you have also generally performed better than your competitors in the number of candidates you&rsquo;ve put forward.</p><p>These 2 reasons, plus the rapport and trust you have built with me, has made you my &lsquo;go to&rsquo; when it comes to recruiting for my team as well as recommending to the wider company.</p><h3>What have been the most significant benefits you have received from working with us?</h3><p>More diverse pool of quality candidates have been put through for interview.</p><h3>How has Advance and our services helped you reach your talent attraction and team goals?</h3><p>It is still early days but so far so good!</p><h3>What is it like to work with me?</h3><p>Your calm but friendly demeanour means its easy to get along with you.</p><p>You&rsquo;re a good listener and are very good at picking up on my needs and requirements as shown by the candidate you have put through.</p><p>Along with your integrity, I find you to be open, honest to work with which I really appreciate.</p><p>You also seem to show an appreciation for peoples time (by not sending totally irrelevant candidates through) and are not pushy which are other reasons why I enjoy working with you.&nbsp;</p><h3>How willing would you be to recommend colleagues and people you know to work with us?</h3><p>Very much so and already have recommended to the other RSM&rsquo;s I work with.</p><p>Keep up the great work!</p><h6>&nbsp;</h6>
