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!

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.

1709497268

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!

Jaimi was incredibly supportive and so helpful!! Going through the feedback and advice was very informative, and she really helped to boost my confidence and encourage me.

1706788398

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.

1705582290

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!

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.

Vanilla Recruitment were amazing! Jodie contacted me about an opportunity, which she supported me fully during the application and interview process. Completed mock interviews, and was fabulous with all communications. Resulting with me being the successful applicant! I thoroughly recommend Vanilla, and can’t thank them enough for all their support!

1704280611

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.

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 !

1703086689

Eloise has been so great in helping me find a new role. Such an organised and seamless process. Will recommend to everyone I can, thank you.

1701949425

I just want to thank Kate who was really professional throughout the process of getting my new job. It was a slick process and Kate was very friendly and informative and kept me updated during the full end to end process.It was also great to receive a card and a mug on my first day of work! It is the little things that keep us all happy. So thanks for that!!

“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?!?!’ LOLThey’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!

1701816537

I am very grateful for all the help and support Kate has given me in securing my new role. Kate kept me informed throughout the whole process, also giving me friendly advice and tips. She is very professional and personable.I would highly recommend using her at Vanilla recruitment to hopefully secure a new job they may have advertised.

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.

Jodie Clement was very helpful in finding me a job I wanted, her communication was great throughout the recruitment process and everything went smoothly. Thank you very much!

1649761776

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.

1645722910

Honestly wish i could give more than 5 stars. Jodie Clements was more than amazing more than helpful and exceeded all my expectations. If anyone ever i know is in need of a job i will be 10000% recommending Vanilla Recruitment! Cant thank Jodie any more!!

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.

1623331137

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.

1621962211

I had a fantastic experience with Vanilla Recruitment, I was working with Jodie and she was extremely helpful with finding me a position after me months and months of searching. Jodie contacted me first and gave me a big insight about the role and what I can bring to the table. The role caught my attention and we went from there, she was in constant contact with the employer and with myself. I've worked with various recruitment agencies but none of them like Vanilla Recruitment, especially Jodie cared so much! I highly recommend, thank you so much!

1620738815

I could not have had a better experience in finding a new job than I had with Vanilla Recruitment. Eloise led the search, supporting me throughout the entire process, and was continually helpful, kind and very thorough. I am not surprised her company has such a stellar reputation! Her honest approach and intelligence was refreshing, and I felt like a stronger candidate with her guidance than I would have on my own. Thank you, Eloise and Vanilla Recruitment!

From start to finish Jaimi has been fantastic. I was really sceptical of going through a recruitment company, but honestly so glad that I did. Jaimi set the bar very high for recruiters, she was really supportive, coaching me through each step and even sent me a good luck text before my interview. I have Jaimi to thank for helping me secure a dream role and I know she will be my go to for all recruitment needs!

I like the personal touches, pre-interview brief, good luck texts before an interview. These little things make you feel like an individual and that you are important. From my first phone call with Jodie to the working directly with Kate, my whole experience was amazing with Vanilla Recruitment and I just want to say a great big thank you to you Kate for finding me my new role. I would recommend Vanilla Recruitment to anyone looking for their new job.
