Our Candidates' Views

Hear about us from the people that matter - our candidates!

 

Our retail & hospitality candidates mean a lot to us and we believe we offer a professional, highly personal and honest and genuine recruitment service to each and every person we work for. This starts with the little but important things such as:

 

  • each and every candidate having their own dedicated retail recruitment account manager
  • we are always available to talk whenever you have questions
  • our candidates never have to chase us to find out how things are going
  • we give honest and open feedback - maybe too honest - because we care
  • we really know our clients and the opportunities they have
  • we have high expectations too - our candidates will be well prepared and professional

 

So what's it like to work with us?

We will leave it to our retail & hospitality candidates to tell you about their Retail Executive Recruitment support. Their comments and thoughts should give you an insight of what you can expect, and will receive from our dedicated team as standard.

 

               

 

 "     Retail Executive Recruitment provided fantastic support when I applied for

  the role of Store Manager Designate at Dunelm Mill in October 2008. The main

  thing that impressed me about my account manager, Damian Power, and the

  RXR approach was their personable, honest and professional approach from

  day one.

 

  Chan Halai, Store Manager Designate, Dunelm Mill                               "

 

 What results did RXR achieve for Chan....

 

 

 "    I can’t really express how great Claire, my retail ecruitment consultant,
  and the
RXR team were.  Having previously worked in recruitment I am generally

  very wary of agencies, but RXR have bucked the trend and really showed me

  how useful it can be to have an expert recruiter in my corner.  I received expert

  interview advice and support at every stage and was impressed by the fact that

  RXR and Claire kept in constant contact, took the effort to build a great rapport

  with me and had such a personal touch.  Next time I am in the area I fully intend

  to drop by and treat Claire to a coffee.

 “   Retail Executive Recruitment were the first recruitment agency I have ever

  worked with, and certainly don’t match up to the reputation of most. I worked with

  Damian Power at Retail Executive Recruitment to find my new assistant manager

  job at Dunelm in September 2008, and they provided me with a brilliant, very

  professional service.  Damian took a real effort to get to know my needs, what I

  was interested in, what experience I had and seemed personally really interested in

  finding me a great new role.  The roles he put in front of me as potentials were all

  well matched to my needs and interesting, so I knew he was listening to me and

  what I wanted at all times

 

  Jack Wilkinson, Assistant Branch Manager Plymouth, Dunelm Mill          "

 

  What results did our retail recruitment approach bring for Jack....

 

 

 "   I had previously worked with a few recruitment agencies and

  was in the process of applying for other roles with them, but Claire and

  Retail Executive Recruitment took a really professional and different

  approach from most others.  She took a real effort to ensure that I knew what

  the role was all about, what the company was like, and what they were looking

  with.  The first time she called me we were on the phone for about an hour

  talking about my needs and the role at HSS......  What’s more – the process

  was really quick and I felt Claire was always pushing things along for me.

 "   Tim’s support was first class.  He delivered everything he promised,

  from getting prompt feedback, to calling when he said he would, to providing

  interview support and tips to ensure I was fully prepared for the face to face

  interview.  His efficient and personable manner made him a pleasure to work

  with, as well as smoothing the process for me.  Tim and Retail Executive

  Recruitment provide a great, one-to-one service for anyone seeking a new step

  in their retail career.”

  Nicola Price – Regional HR Officer – fashion client                          "

 “  I had been looking for a new position for some time before Retail XR

  contacted me about an online marketing manager position at Dunelm.

  I had been to various rounds of interview, got to final stages several times

  and was starting to lose a bit of faith in the whole process to be honest. 

 

  Tim Kirk, my consultant at Retail Executive Recruitment, really aided in turning

  that all around and getting me excited about applying for a job again, due to his

  professional nature, real personal approach and support throughout the whole

  application process.

 

  Zoe Hughes, Online Marketing Manager - Dunelm Mill                        "

 

  What made the difference for retail marketing manager Zoe??

 

 

 "    There really is nothing that the team at Retail Executive Recruitment, and

  Damian, my consultant, wouldn’t do for you.  They offer a really personal and

  friendly service, as well as doing their jobs exceptionally well.  With some other

  agencies you feel it’s a numbers game, and you are simply there to make them

  commission, but Damian and Retail Executive Recruitment felt completely

  different. They made a personal effort to ensure that I felt confident, reassured

  and was fully prepared to get the job at Yo Sushi from day one

 

  Henry Mugridge, Head Chef Cribbs Causeway, YO! Sushi                       "

  "   Claire Goddard, my Retail Executive Recruitment consultant, was fantastic,

  completely different from every other recruitment consultant I have previously

  worked with.  She combined an honest, down to earth refreshing approach with a

  completely professional and thorough service.  She kept me completely up to date

  and reassured that things were progressing between interviews, without

  overpromising and making me over confident that I would naturally get the position.

  This kept me keen on the job. She was just brilliant, if I owned my own multi-

  million pound company I would hire her in a flash.

 "     The main thing that impressed me about RXR’s approach, and Tim Kirk

  personally, was the level of personal contact and support I received from day one. 

  For such a senior role the recruitment process was multi-stage, but Tim kept in

  almost daily contact so I could be reassured things were moving & progressing.

  Tim was efficient, personal and showed a real interest in making sure I could be

  as prepared as possible.  I would recommend Retail Executive Recruitment

  to others seeking a senior level move due to their professional approach and

  quality of service.
