I have nothing but positive things to say about Andy File Associates and particularly Rebecca Thomas....she has been a absolute pleasure to deal with and has gone above and beyond what I would expect to help me find what seems to be my ideal role. She is totally professional and is a fantastic ambassador for the company, I would happily deal with her again....and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to make progression in their Career or Job.Five Stars is not high enough!!Thankyou Rebecca!
My dealings with this agency have been limited to Rebecca Thomas, a true diamond.Rebecca was always very approachable with a lovely telephone manner, that made it easy to build the repore required. In no way scripted like alot of agents are these days, as if you are just a number answering questions on a computer screen.A genuinely nice, professional person who kept me updated with feedback from the client at every stage of the interview process. A heartfelt congratulations was received when I was offered the job. Once again my dearest thanks!
My experience with Andy File Associates Ltd was exceptional. The Recruiter I dealt with was Andrew Jenkins. He is a very experienced recruiter, who made me feel comfortable every step of the way. He introduced me to the Company where I am now employed, followed up with a first (online) interview and organised the second (face to face) interview. He had given all of my work experience information to the company and they had been fully briefed regarding my education and experience. I was given an Offer of Employment within a week of the second interview and was at my new desk within a fortnight. Andrew followed up by phoning me on the morning of the face to face interview to ensure that I had the address of the company and once again, phoned me on the morning of my first day in my new job. This is exceptional service from a very experienced recruiter. He leaves nothing to chance. This is very unusual in todays world. Well Done and Thank You Andrew.
I'm working with Andy File Associates Ltd at one of their client site since last April, and I have been working with other similar agencies for several years. I can say that the service I received from this company is the best quality of service I ever get from any of the agencies that I worked with, and I highly appreciated that and they deserve FIVE STAR for that.The best thing about this company which I don't often get from other agencies is that for whatever question/help I asked somebody is always there to give you an immediate response. Andy and all their staffs are very helpful and professional and I frequently contacts with Debra as she is my supervisor, I have received excellent service from her🙏. I highly recommend Andy FA Ltd for anyone.
Great company to work with , quick honest open conversation, found us 2 new Role positions quickly.
Having worked alongside many recruitment agencies, I can honestly say working with Anne at Andy File Associates has been a genuine pleasure. So much so that I have told close friends and colleagues to contact her for any future work requirements. If you’re an employer or seeking employment, please give them a call and you won’t be disappointed. Professional, polite and courteous.
Absolutely fantastic..very helpful with finding me a new work position that fit me.Debra went above and beyond to help..Thanks..
I have nothing but positive things to say about Andy File Associates and especially Anne Braithwaite, she has been a real pleasure to deal with and found me what seems to be my ideal role. She was very professional and a great ambassador for the company, she had kept in touch and made me feel like I wasn't just a number. Would happily deal with again (but in the greatest respect hope I don't need to 🙂 )
Anne is absolutely fantastic. She helped me obtain a new role within weeks and was involved throughout the entire process.I cannot thank her enough and I would highly recommend Andy File Associates.
The best agency I've come across. Debra in particular was fantastic. She's friendly and helpful and made sure I was okay on my first day. That human touch makes a big difference. I would recommend this agency to anyone.
This is my first time using Andy File Associates though not my first time using Recruitment Agencies.Of late, my usual agency has been missing the mark and I took the opportunity to work with Andy and Steve on a position that was still very much an 'idea', but not cast in stone.Their patience and guidance has helped us to find a superb candidate, who I can already see will make a huge difference to our company and to say I'm extremely grateful is an understatement.Any business owner will understand my thoughts when I say they've lifted a weight off my shoulders with this one.We've been spinning our wheels trying to find the best way forward for months and Andy File Associates have helped us to clear a path, cut back the undergrowth and put a perfect guide in place to move us forward.It's been a 'Stellar' performance guys, thank you.
