Kate was amazing, supportive and empowering. The job that Kate found for me is the perfect fit!
I would not hesitate to recommend Kate at Vanilla, forget the websites go straight to her.

Vanilla have been great for me this year. Faced with being out of work at the end of May quite suddenly, Jaimini and Kate were so supportive. Kate finally found the right job for me but I wanted to mention both as they helped me along the way. Also mention to Jodie who picked up when the others were on annual leave. Many thanks for the help guy. Jo x

Kate’s dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence are truly commendable. She not only helped me secure a job but also went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition. Her ability to understand my needs and match them with the right position was remarkable.
One specific instance stands out: Kate proactively connected me with relevant job openings, provided valuable insights, and guided me through the entire process. Her genuine interest in my success made all the difference.
In summary, Kate’s professionalism, integrity, and outstanding service make her an asset to any organization. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel and positively impact those she works with.

Jaimi is an absolute star! From the first call I felt like I met the right person to help me to secure the role I was going for. I was guided through the whole interview process and I was helped with the interview prep. Communication with Jaimi is a pleasure, she was always helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the feedback Julia it has been a pleasure to work with you.
Jodie couldn't have been more helpful, after weeks of struggling on my own, she helped me find a place I feel truly welcome and respected in what felt like minutes.
Even after helping me find something, the incredible service didn't stop, several follow ups to make sure everything was going well and a goodie bag with a congratulatory card which really was the icing on the cake.
Cannot speak highly enough of the help and service I received.
I'd hould recommend to anyone.

Sarah G (Candidate Experience Manager)
Sarah is by far one of the best recruiters, if not, the best recruiter that I've worked with in my 10+ years. Having moved from London to Corby with high expectations, Sarah was able to thoroughly understand my background and my very specific requirements for a new role after a 2-year maternity leave gap. She is transparent and realistic with salaries and details of the roles itself (the good and the ugly). She didn't allow me to crumble when I wanted to, but instead represented me at my highest value to her clients. Unlike most recruiters, Sarah's focus is solely on the wellbeing of the candidates experience and putting their needs first (rather than that commission). After being let down and given up by other recruiters, Sarah always checked in on my current situation and informed me of any new vacancies during my 10 months search. I was finally employed in the exact role I wanted, at the salary I wanted and at a company that I am so incredibly happy with. I cannot recommend Sarah enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Naseelah for your review - I know Sarah will be delighted to receive your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to have helped you secure your new role and wish you every success for the future!
Sarah G (Candidate Experience Manager)
Ben was very helpful in helping me find work suited to my preferences and needs. Good listener and explained the process of how the agency works really well. Felt very informed and excited to be working with Vetro as an agency.
Jaimini was amazing, so so helpful in helping me find the best role suited to me. She was there for extra support and any questions I had. Cannot recommend Jaimi and the team at Vanilla enough!
Response from the owner:Hi Alice, thanks so much for taking the time to write this lovely review, we really appreciate it! I will pass your feedback on to Jaimi.
Sarah (Candidate Experience Manager)
Jodie was an amazing help to me, helping to secure two temporary contracts in the space of a few months before I went travelling! She was supportive and understanding throughout the process and found me job opportunities that suited myself well. The companies I worked with also had brilliant things to say about Jodie and vouched for her continuously, and their longstanding business relationships.
Response from the owner:Hi Sophia, we're delighted to have helped you to find temporary work! Thanks so much for your feedback, I will ensure your kind words are relayed to Jodie.
Sarah (Candidate Experience Manager)
My agent, Jodie, has gone above and beyond to support me in my new role. First of all, we completed a virtual registration so she could learn more about me as a candidate. This helped to match me up with a vacancy that suited my skills and strengths. We carried out a practise interview which was geared specifically towards the role for which I was applying. Through this, Jodie offered lots of advice and helped me to feel very prepared for the real thing. She was an excellent communicator throughout the process, often checking in to see how I was doing and providing updates as soon as they came through. Even after landing the job, Jodie kept in touch to see how I was getting on, which made me feel supported as I settled into the role. A month in, I was delighted to receive a congratulatory card and gifts from Vanilla Recruitment, which brightened up my desk and gave me a sense of accomplishment. I am extremely grateful for the service Jodie provided and really appreciate all the extra little touches made by the agency. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Hi Hayley, we're thrilled to receive your review, thank you so much for your kind words - I know Jodie will be delighted to read them!
Sarah (Candidate Experience Manager)
I’m so grateful for Kate’s help in getting me the perfect job. She’s clear in her communications and how much detail she discovered about me made sure she was presenting the real me. The website she directed me to, for uploading my details, was easy to use too. Her help with preparing for the interview was invaluable and thorough and I’m sure was a key part of me being the successful candidate. Her follow up after the interview was equally thorough and she continued to check in to ensure all necessary contract documentation was sent to me promptly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kate and Vanilla Recruitment.
Response from the owner:Thank you Vicky, good luck in your new role. It was a pleasure representing you.
There are not enough stars to write a review for Jaimi. A huge thank you for how brilliant you helped me to prepare for a job interview and ensure I entered a workplace to fit my potential, skills and work-life balance in.
Jaimi went above and beyond from the first call received right through to after the interview process. Being at all times very approachable, friendly, supportive, and a professional recruiter who was getting the best out of me in preparing for the interview phase. It doesnt just stop therw.....I had the feeling I knew her for a long time and I had a friend beside me who understands my needs this is how comfortable she made me feel so I could open up and unleash to my fullest potential.
She`s great with people and I think shes an excellent role model. She impressed me so much that I advised her could become a LIFE COACH/MENTOR.
Thank you so much Jaimi!!!

Having used Vanilla in the past I’ve been amazed once again with their service and support. They have the most interesting roles and companies they recruit for, and always create fantastic options that you wouldn't, or couldn't, hear of otherwise. Cannot recommend highly enough for anyone thinking of a change!
Response from the owner:Hi Jodie, thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review, everyone at Vanilla really appreciates your kind feedback!
Sarah (Candidate Experience Manager)
Jaimini stands out as the epitome of excellence in the realm of recruiting. Working alongside her has been an absolute pleasure, and I can confidently assert that she is the best recruiter I've had the privilege of collaborating with. Her meticulous approach leaves nothing to chance, and she consistently ensures that all parties involved are not only well-informed but also thoroughly updated throughout the entire process.
Jaimini's dedication to her role is truly commendable. She goes above and beyond, taking the time to comprehensively prepare me for every facet of the application process. Whether it be before a crucial interview or in the aftermath, Jaimini remains a steadfast pillar of support. Her ability to provide guidance and insights is invaluable, making the entire experience seamless and empowering.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jaimini to anyone seeking a recruiter who not only excels in her role but also genuinely cares about the success and well-being of her candidates. In a professional landscape where such dedication is often rare, Jaimini's commitment to excellence truly sets her apart.
Thanks for everything Jaimini.

Sarah (Candidate Experience Manager)
I called Jodie up about what sort of work I needed when I felt like I was in a bit of a rut. At the time I was unsure what to do, what was out there for me or where to start! Jodie helped me so much from that moment onwards. I am now happily working in a temp-perm role and loving life. Jodie checked in during my first week and has been a constant support when I need it. A credit to Vanilla, thank you Jodie.
Response from the owner:Hi Indie, we really appreciate you taking the time to write this review; thank you for your lovely feedback, I have ensured that it was passed to Jodie and she was delighted to read your kind words.

Eloise has been an incredible support in finding my new role. From the first moment she reached out on LinkedIn I was given first class guidance, and despite a very lengthy interview process Eloise consistently remained a point of contact and expertise.
I have never received such high-class service during any recruitment exercise and would recommend Vanilla to anyone looking for a change. I certainly would not have considered such a massive life change as I have taken in this role without Vanilla there to help me along the way.
Thanks again !

“I was contacted by Jodie after submitting my CV with interest to obtain some temporary work. Jodie was really thorough in asking questions and I felt like she really listened to my specific requirements. During the few months I was on her books, she contacted me with relevant assignments that fitted my travel criteria and hours. I was never spammed or forced into interviewing for a role just for the sake of it.
Jodie came to visit the client where I was working and took time out to meet me - and brought me a gift! That was so touching.
I’ve only had really positive experiences with Jodie even when I was placed in a fixed term contract with an assignment she found for me. She kept in touch and made sure that everything was going smoothly and offered her help and expertise on a couple of HR issues I had. I never once felt like just a number on her books. I even received another set of gifts to say good luck with my new role! Everyone at the office was like ‘what kind of temp agency is this?!?!’ LOL
They’ve obviously never seen such a thing. I really appreciated how I’ve been treated as a temp worker as I know in the industry we’re neither here nor there for a lot of employers and often get treated that way, to speak frankly!

I am overall extremely happy with Jodie & how she managed to secure me my position at Thomson Broadbent. She was extremely professional and helpful during all meetings & with her correspondence. Personally I believe this is the best agency I have dealt with as it seems she cares a lot about her clients and fitting them with the right candidates whereas others I have experienced don’t seem to put as much effort in.
I am very happy in my new role and it is very ideal for me, I have nothing negative to say about Jodie, I owe her a lot for finding me this opportunity & I’m very much looking forward to being taken on permanently by the company.

From the very first phone call Kate was throughly tenacious & maintained an outstanding level of professionalism right through to the end of the process. I felt confident & trusted Kate’s ability. The level of communication throughout was second to none & I appreciated the in depth ‘pre-interview’ stage; getting the opportunity to read through Kate’s ‘opinion’ of me before having my CV issued to her client, boosted my own confidence! I took on Kate’s advice pre-interview & sailed through my interview.
So Thank You, Kate! Here’s to my new beginnings.

We have recruited via Vanilla for both temporary and permanent positions for many years now. Their service is very quick and we have always received great candidates to consider for each role we put to them. We have had a good outcome each time we have used their services and so would highly recommend.
My entire experience with Vanilla recruitment was first rate.
Their professionalism, diligence and support allowed for the process of securing a new role to be smooth and painless. As such, I would happily recommend them to all.
