Di Verity- Engage Mutual - Head of Customer Services

"I recently recruited a temp and then a permanent position, the service was exceptional and very professional. I needed to recruit at very short notice and I was supplied with an excellent choice of candidates within the space of a day. In addition Louise came to my offices to introduce herself and understand my business needs. I was very impressed with Bagnall Hopkins and will definitely use them again."

 

Vicky Hirst- Office Manager- Static Solutions

Kate, I just thought I would drop you a quick note to thank you for persisting with meeting with me and pinning me down, I can honestly say it has been a pleasure working with you. Thanks for your help in finding a new member of our team, your choice of candidates was spot on and we were able to make a selection quickly. I'm glad we had chance to work with Bagnall Hopkins and will use you guys again for recruitment should any position arise.

 

Leanne Meynell, December 2008 - Telesales Executive

Hello, Louise Thankyou for my card, was very kind. I said id report back after my first week, and so far I really enjoy it, and it turns out I can work in the evenings at home, or weekends, and can fluctuate from the office and home, so really good. Everyone is really friendly and kind, thank you very much for your help in getting the position and I hope you have a good Christmas!

I would like to say a BIG thank you to Kate @ Bagnall Hopkins for helping me find a new job so promptly. Thank you for taking the stress of looking for another job away from me and for all your support and advice for the interview. I couldn’t have done it without your help, thanks ever so much; I really appreciate everything you have done for me and for showing me that there is a light at the end of a dark tunnel. I will definitely come back to Bagnall Hopkins should I find myself looking for another job in the future and would definitely recommend you to others. Thanks again for everything. Amanda Skelly.

Michelle Butterworth - Sales Administrator - November

I spoke to Louise after she was recommended to be by a friend. In every way, Bagnall Hopkins exceeded my expectations, in terms of their professionalism, their friendly attitude, and overall, their willingness to listen to my needs as a person. I was always made to feel like an individual, rather than just another candidate. Louise profiled my career needs, and found me an excellent position, and for that I am sincerely grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend other people to Louise and Bagnall Hopkins. Thank you!

You were very friendly and you have a really good aura about you when you are with people. You followed up on interviews and were very helpful and did not hesitate to answer any questions I put to you. All in all Bagnall Hopkins is a very good and friendly company!!! Thanks for everything

Kim Berry- Assistant Accountant

Bagnall Hopkins was recommended to me by a friend when I was made redundant from my previous job. I made an appointment to see Kate who was so friendly, helpful, very reassuring and gave me a lot of confidence in finding work. She was always searching for jobs and doing her very best to get me work and always kept in touch with me with what she was doing. I would recommend Bagnall Hopkins to anyone in need of work, Kate found me some temp work within 5 days and now I have been made permanent so couldn’t be happier!! Thank you Kate.

Just a quick note to say "Thank you" for all your help in finding me a job so quickly. I havent used an agency before and wasnt quite sure what to expect but I will definately be recommending you to all of my friends. I cant believe that in less than a week I am back in employment and with such a nice company. Thanks very much

Chris Glew

In my eyes this is the best agency I have been signed up to! Both Kate and Louise have been extremely helpful and professional ensuring that the jobs I was being interviewed for was right for me. I have received information from both of them before and after interviews with employers to let me know in depth about the job role, what my duties would be, what the company deals with and also feedback from the employer on how the interview went. Since I have given Kate and Louise my details I've had 2 interviews with employers within 1 week which is absolutely brilliant! And now after 1 week of being with them and 2 interviews later I start my new permanent full time job! Thanks again for all your help!

Emma Czirok - Administrator

Just thought I would drop you a quick email to let you know how my first day is going! So far so good, everyone is really lovely, and I think I will be very happy here. To be honest, although it was an inconvenience and annoying, being made redundant it has probably done me a huge favour, because I really feel like I could make a career here. Thanks so much for all your help, I don't know what I would have done without you! I will keep you updated on how things are going anyway, Thanks again,

Chris Simpson, Sales Administrator

To anybody who has just walked through the door of Bagnall Hopkins for the first time, PLEASE READ If you’re reading this you’re in luck, because you have walked into the best Recruitment Agency in Wakefield. After recently relocating I was very unsure on how long it was going to take to find employment. Understandably this can be a worrying time for anybody- Will I find a job? Will it pay to enough,? Will it be the job that I want or will I have to take any job because of financial difficulties? I looked around for jobs on the internet and found Bagnall Hopkins. I was unsure at first due to the many agencies that are out there, but from the start I knew that I was with a ‘grade A’ recruitment agency. The amount of time taken in your initial meeting at Bagnall Hopkins made me feel that this place really cared. Once this interview was done I left feeling reassured, this feeling was then backed up by many phones calls from Bagnall Hopkins regarding jobs around the area. To cut a long story short one and a half weeks after meeting Louise Hopkins I was in work in a job that I really enjoy. I can’t thank Bagnall Hopkins and especially Louise Hopkins enough for what she did for me. Thanks Again Chris Simpson

Dawn Ansell- Assistant Accountant

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help and support in securing me my new position as Assistant Accountant. I had been registered with a number of Agencies but found the service and professionalism offered by Kate the best of the lot. I felt that Kate actually listened to me and found me the kind of job that I wanted, previously I had been sent on interviews by other agencies that were totally wrong for me and wasted not only my time but prospective employers also. Once again thanks a lot for everything and I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone looking for work.

Lindsay Hadfield - Office Manager

Dear Louise I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help in securing my new role as Office Manager. Over the last seven years I have dealt with numerous recruitment agencies across South and West Yorkshire as both an employer and employee and I can honestly say my experience with Bagnall Hopkins stands out as the most positive. Your honest, friendly and helpful approach is really refreshing and I found your pre-interview advice invaluable; I really feel this contributed to the position being offered to me. When I need a recruitment agency in the future - for whatever reason - I now know where to come and I will definitely recommend you to my friends and associates. Best wishes

Noshin Ejaz - Sales & Marketing Manager

I am just writing to say as big thank you for finding me the job of my dreams. After my application on the internet - you wasted no time in interviewing me and I was offered the job after a few days. I appreciate your professionalism and your integrity. I will recommend you to my friends and family.

Cath Hughes- Accounts Manager

Kate Without the tremendous support and care given, covering both temporary and permanent positions I am sure I could never have found employment as soon as I did. Because you both took the time to understand my wishes ( and fears) I was certain that each position, or interview, I went to was matched to my abilities and with that knowledge came the confidence that I needed. Thank you for your wonderful encouragement.

Rosina Clarke - Receptionist

Just a quick line to say many thanks for all your help and assistance recently. My enrolment earlier this year with Bagnall Hopkins has proved to be an extremly good one on my part! The calibre of clients which Bagnall Hopkins have is obviously high and that itself has given me confidence in my decision. I am currently on my first assignment with the Agency and the prompt payment of my salary every Friday plus all your own particular care and concern is very much appreciated. Your "good luck" phone call was a very thoughtful gesture on your part and much appreciated. Once my current assisgnment is completed hopefully it will not be long before you and Bagnall Hopkins have another one lined up for me! Kindest regards to you and all the team Rosina

I registered with Bagnall Hopkins to find a new job and progress within my career. I was looking for a challenge within a reputable organisation that would offer my the progression I was looking for. Kate offered me support and guidance throughout my whole search, and has placed me within a fantastic organisation where I believe I will be very happy.

Diane Beckett, Campaign Co-ordinator - January 2008

I registered with Bagnall Hopkins Recruitment as I was wanting a fresh challenge and most of all I wanted to work closer to home and get out of the Leeds rat race (after putting up with overcrowded and unreliable trains into Leeds for so many years!), I am now working in a great job which I really enjoy with a stress free and much cheaper journey to work! Thank you Louise for your ongoing support and successfully placing me in a perfect job!

Nicola Ely, Senior Resource Advisor - January 2008

Just a few words to say Thanks for the professional service Bagnall Hopkins provided in finding me a post. From the first contact I found all who I dealt with at Bagnall Hopkins to be thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and professional at all stages. The after care was also a welcome surprise and was much appreciated. I am sure that I will be more than happy in my new post BUT if I were in the market for a new position again then I would most certainly enlist the services of Bagnall Hopkins. Many Thanks

Tracey Godfrey, Administrator - December 2007

Dear Louise, Just a note to say thank you for find me a new job. After finding myself in a situation having to look for work for the first time in over 20 years, I found things had changed dramatically since the early 1980s and found it difficult to know where to start. I trawled the papers and the internet and registered with many, many recruitment agencies around West Yorkshire. The service and help I received from Bagnall Hopkins was totally head and shoulders above the rest of the agencies and in a league of their own. Always extremely professional and friendly and going the extra mile to find the right job for the right person. I will always recommend Bagnall Hopkins to anyone looking for work as they are the best. Thanks again for everything Louise, You’ve been great and all your hard work is very much appreciated. Tracey Godfrey

Sue Clegg, Sales Administrator - Nov 07

Just to say thank you so much to Louise at Bagnall Hopkins for your very efficient service and kind help in finding me a position after a fruitless 12 months search for employment. I had registered my CV with a number of recruitment agencies and although I knew my CV was deficient in areas, I was unsure about how to improve it. I requested help from all the agencies(4 in total) as to how to progress,but only Louise showed any interest and was extremely helpful in assisting me to re-word my CV. Not one of the other agencies contacted me, either then or since. Although the position I initially applied for had already been filled, Louise rang me a couple of weeks later with another position she thought might be suitable. I had two interviews and got the job!! Thank you Louise for remembering me after my request for help. If I ever need assistance again in the employment area, I will always return to Bagnall Hopkins as you are the only recruitment agency I have ever been involved with who have actually contacted me with another job suggestion after the initial vacancy was no longer available. I think you're brilliant!!

Susan Othick- Credit Controller - Nov 2007

Kate I would just like to thank you so much for finding me a job so quickly, when I came to see you I was so nervous but within a few minutes of talking with you , you had put me at ease . The one thing I was worried about was my age , and after I had been made redundant my first thoughts were nobody would want somebody as old as me , but this was never mentioned and to be quite honest I really did forget all about it, within less than 48 hours you had arranged for me to go on an interview in exactly the area I wanted to work and I actually got the job. I had registerd with other agencies but had heard nothing from them , I cannot praise Bagnall Hopkins enough , and would recommend your agency to anybody.

Joanne Taylor, Accounts Assistant - October 2007

just wanted to say a very big thank you for all the help and support you gave me recently whilst I was looking for work. After registering with other agencies I was left feeling a little disheartened, as it seemed once they had got you on 'the books' they were only interested in making their commission and didn't really care about finding the right position for me. The things that really set you apart from other agencies is that 'personal touch', you were never out of touch, gave me excellent advice when attending the interview and very useful feed back afterwards. Most of all you found me the perfect position with a fantastic company. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone and I would definitely use your business again should the need arise. Wishing you every success - you deserve it!!

What can I say……Friendly, knowledgeable, reliable fast service and above all ‘the most professional recruitment agency I have ever come across’.

Just a quick note to thank Louise for all her hard work in finding me "the perfect job". I registered with with Bagnall Hopkins a couple of months ago and Louise managed to find exactly what I was looking for in a very short space of time. At my initial interview, Louise took time to listen to exactly what I was looking for and came up with exactly that!! Thanks again for all your hard work and commitment.

John Monaghan Ltd has been dealing with Bagnall Hopkins since April 07. During this time they have provided us with two very successful candidates.

Samantha Bramald, Operations Director - June 2007

Bagnall Hopkins recently helped us successfully recruit 4 administrators due to the continuing growth of our business. Louise met with me and gained a good understanding of our business and our requirements and quickly produced a short list of relevant CV’s, all of which we interviewed. The candidates we interviewed were of a high standard and had been fully briefed about our company and the job specifications; we were able to make offers to these candidates, all of which have been accepted. We would have no hesitation on recommending Bagnall Hopkins, they are professional, honest, listened to our needs and have provided an excellent service. As our company continues to expand we will be certainly contacting them again in the future to assist us. Samantha Bramald, Operations Director lease 360 evolution plc

Dean Stead, Administrator - June 2007

I just want to thank Louise and Kate at Bagnall Hopkins for all the help, support and effort they have given in finding me my new job. When I relocated from Durham In April I enrolled with 3 different job agencies in one day, Louise is the only one who truly listened to my needs and wants with regards to a job, she made me feel very comfortable during the enrolment, It was almost like meeting up with a friend. Since enrolling Louise constantly searched for jobs and arranged interviews with employers that I would actually be happy working for. During her searches I broke my hand and feared months without work or interviews, but knowing this rather than just forgetting about me or putting me to one side like some other agencies did, she simply tried to find jobs with a later start date. Finally she found me the right job in the right place. Brilliant! A totally unique recruitment agency, with a great personal touch. (A real diamond in the rough)

Daniel Lishamn, Internal Sales Executive- June 2007

I would just like to thank you for the help you gave me in finding my exciting role with my new employer. I found Louise to be very helpful, professional and always aimed to match my previous skills in order to source the right career. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bagnall Hopkins to friends and family looking to further their careers and have already done so. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Debbie Galione, Credit Controller - May 2007

Dear Kate & Louise, I just want to thank you so much for what you have done for me. When I first moved up from the South I thought I would be able to walk straight into a job. But there was nothing that appealed to me in local papers. I started to feel low in myself and thinking I'll never find anything, I lost all my confidence. I saw your advert in and I hummed and harred should I call or not, as I've always heard bad reports about agencies, I eventually plucked up the courage to call, and what can I say I'm so pleased that I did, I've got a really good job now thanks to you both. This is the happiest I have been for a long long time. My life feels so complete, I've been through a rough time of late and your kind support have mean't a great deal to me. You are both so friendly, easy to talk to and have made me feel very welcome. You are two people I would never forget. I wish you both all the luck in the world. Thank you once again.

Julie Hartley, Mgmnt Accountant- May 2007

Bagnall Hopkins were recommended to me by a friend, and I have to say they are the best recruitment agency in Wakefield. The thing that most appeals to me about them is that they take a genuine interest in the people that they are dealing with. They are very professional and friendly - Kate seems to have a knack of matching the right people to the right job. Some agencies seem to waste your time, sending you on lots of unsuitable interviews but I only had one interview and got the job immediately. I was very pleased with the way things worked out and I would recommend Bagnall Hopkins to anyone - put it this way, if I ever need to recruit any staff I know who I’ll be ringing.

Stacey Brown, Sales Administrator - May 2007

When I first spoke to Louise at the agency I felt stuck in a rut and needed to get out of my job. Louise gave me the support and advice I needed to get my new position in a professional but extremely friendly way. I feel that I have found the foot hold in my career ladder and this wouldn't have been possible without Louises' help. I have recommended Bagnall Hopkins to all of my friends who are looking for work and even those who aren't! Thank you Best Wishes.

Kathryn Thompson, PA to MD - May 2007

Just a short message to say "thank you" From seeing an advert in the paper to attending your offices and meeting you there, your agency showed pure professionalism throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends. After being made to feel unworthy in my last job, one meeting with Louise and my confidence was definitely back. It wasn't long before you had found what seems to be my perfect job. Thank you once again. Keep up the good work. Kathryn

Angela Webb, Management Accountant - April 2007

Thanks so much to Bagnall Hopkins for all of your assistance in my relocation from South East England to Yorkshire and in helping me to find suitable employment. Your agency has a refreshing approach to candidates and I would highly recommend your company to anyone seeking a professional but also very personal agency. You made my move so much easier and you only recommended me for positions that you felt my experience was suitable for.

Deborah Cox, Bookkeeper - March 2007

Hi Kate & Louise... Just a quick note to express my gratitude for the 1st Class Personal Service I received from both of you - from my initial telephone call to Bagnall Hopkins, through to my offer of employment, literally 6 hours later. What can I say? When I was made redundant on Tuesday 21 February, my whole world turned upside down. I was angry, upset , worried how I would pay the bills, but above all ashamed. I decided to enrol with an agency - there are so many to choose from these days, but your advert in my local newspaper stood out. Am I glad I did because, within 4 hours of registering with Bagnall Hopkins I had interviews lined up and one job offer! I have been at my new job one week now and it's great. The people I work with are lovely, the work is varied and I'm sure I will be there for a long time. I will most certainly recommend Bagnall Hopkins to anyone who requires 5* recruitment assistance. I wish you every success for the future and thanks again!!!!! Best Wishes
