Castlefield provided a strong shortlist and we ultimately offered the role to one their candidates, in so doing, achieving a very quick turnaround”

“Over the last six months they have placed numerous temporary members of staff across our Estates Team. Castlefield have taken the time to get to know me and the team really well meaning the candidates they send through fit well within the team. I would not hesitate to recommend Castlefield as partners and will happily make them our first ‘go to’ on recruitment moving forward”

“The quality of service was good, as was their market knowledge in terms of availability to match our needs. Castlefield took the time to understand the position and aspects of role, to help select a candidate. Their response was quick and had a number of candidates shared with me, within a week.
