TESTIMONIALS
“I have worked with Chris – the Owner and Manager of - Onside Appointments for some years now and I can honestly say that this is the best recruitment agency I have dealt with. Experience has taught me to be very careful in dealing with recruitment agencies because once they get the idea there may be a vacancy they switch to a hard sell and generally become a nuisance. In the case of Onside Appointments this has never been the case and Chris seems to get the level of interaction and communication spot on.
I currently have a team of 8 support consultants whose skills range from IT to tax specialists, 4 of which came from Onside Appointments over the last 3 years. I’ve been giving some consideration to renaming my team “Onside Support” to reflect this!
I would have no hesitation in recommending Onside Appointments and Chris to anyone seeking to recruit”
Alan, Support Manager, Software House, London
“Onside have to date helped us recruit 6 staff for our support and software testing teams, and we are happy to commend their work. We hadn’t heard of Onside until mid 2008, when we gave them permission to work on a Technical Consultant vacancy we’d been struggling with. They filled that successfully, and following subsequent placements we now give all our roles to Onside on a 2 week exclusive basis.
So far they have been successful with every position we have thrown their way, including the trickier positions that our old PSL had traditionally struggled with. They quickly grasp what is needed and then deliver with minimum fuss. We also like their consultants which makes a nice change! We would highly recommend them.”
Charlotte, HR Manager, Surrey
“In 2008 I faced redundancy and was fortunate enough to find Onside Appointments.
At a time when you need to feel you have skills and experience an employer will value, and where you need to have support through the often daunting application and interview process, I was shocked so many recruiters were offhand and clearly playing a strict 'numbers game'.
Dealing with Onside Appointments was a quite simply a breath of fresh air - clear explanations, timely and beneficial guidance & support together with complete and focussed attention to detail, all combined to make me feel like the "only candidate".
Ultimately, thanks to the assistance of Onside Appointments I was able to secure a new position and a very bright future.”
Simon, Implementation Consultant, Software House, London
“Over the past 18 months we have managed to successfully fill a number of positions through Onside Appointments. I have dealt directly with Chris Reidy and have always found him to be professional, reliable and honest in all my interactions with him. Onside is my first choice when I have any recruitment needs.”
Sian, Head of Recruitment, Microsoft Gold Partner, London
“I found the staff at Onside Appointments to be very professional, helpful and approachable, and they were always on hand to deal with any questions I had. The service was exceptionally informative, and the staff went the extra mile to help in my pursuit to find a job that was suited to my requirements and experience. It was obvious they had my interests at heart, and every aspect of the service was of the highest standard.
My experience was very positive and I would not hesitate to recommend Onside to anyone looking for a new job.”
Angela, Software Tester, London
“Chris is one of those very rare recruitment guys ... one that actually keeps in contact, works for you and recognises that you mean money to him! A fabulous service and a very genuine guy – puts your faith back into recruitment consultants.”
Sarah, Head of Training & Development, Software Solutions Provider, Central London
“Having worked with Onside for almost 2 years now we have found their ability to understand the business context of our appointments invaluable in identifying high quality individuals. The consultants at Onside are always understanding of the operational activities that surround an appointment and face these with a high degree of professionalism and personal integrity.”
