Clients
HR Manager, September 2007
“I have known Terry (Buckel) for the past nine months, having been introduced to him when I took over from my predecessor here. I have found Terry and his team to be extremely professional. His company is considered one of our top preferred suppliers. This is saying something given that we only deal with a very select handful of agencies. Since joining I have been fortunate to have Terry and his team recommend some excellent candidates, and to date nearly one-third of our recruitment requirements this year have been filled by candidates put forward by Astute.
Terry and his team offer a professional and efficient service. If he cannot help us with a vacancy he is honest about it. If he has a candidate that he thinks will be of interest, he will recommend them without any obligation, in full knowledge that we may not have such a requirement at that point in time. We have come to realise that when Terry phones with a potential candidate it is worth bearing that candidate in mind!
One of the other reasons I like dealing with Astute is that they are not pushy and constantly ringing trying to secure business. Terry and his team are there when you need them but remain quietly in the background when recruitment slows down. Terry and his team are, in summary, usually my first port of call if we need people.”

HR Advisor, October 2007
“I started dealing with Astute in February 2007 as they appeared to have an in-depth understanding of our industry and technology based upon the strong mechanical and technical knowledge that their staff possessed. Astute has proved to me that they could back up what they promised, by sending relevant CVs to me in response to numerous vacancies all over the UK. These roles varied in level from Maintenance Fitter to Operations Manager and Astute have managed to be successful in their efforts on over 60 vacancies, making 18 successful introductions for staff that are still with us today.
Another major factor in this successful relationship is the level of communications that we receive. With one main point of contact at Astute, the whole system works very well for us and I hope that this level of service can be maintained for years to come.”

Candidates
Candidate, November 2007
“As a canditate looking for my next career move, I was very impressed with Astute Technical Recruitment Ltd who not only found the role I was looking for, but also constantly kept me informed at each stage of the recruitment process, with plenty of feedback, and they listened. They gave me complete confidence that I would be represented with expert professionalism by all their team. I would gladly recommend Astute to everyone wishing to progess in their next job move and require expertise in pinpointing that role with accuracy.”

Candidate, November 2007
“As a candidate seeking employment earlier this year I found Astute Technical Recruitment both professional and helpful. They were very efficient and conscientious throughout the process and following a useful introductory discussion Astute Technical Recruitment provided me with focused and suitable career opportunities.
I found that Astute Technical Recruitment had a very conscientious approach to communication and respected my time and that of the companies recruiting, this often meant that discussions took place outside normal working hours. I have no hesitation in recommending their services and am in fact using them to source engineers in my new role as an Engineering Manager.”

Candidate, October 2007
“I wanted to drop you an email to relay my personal thanks to you and Astute for all the help and assistance you gave me with my job hunt. My career is important to me and choosing the right role is crucial. What I liked about my dealings with you guys is that you seem to have a genuine passion to do right by both the client and the candidate. Too often recruitment agencies will place unsuitable candidates to clients which wastes time for both parties.
The communication was excellent; you kept me informed on a regular basis and you phoned or emailed when you said you would. I was particularly impressed with your professionalism and your persistence in keeping the deal on track. Given that it was fraught with complications during the negotiations I’m sure many agencies might have given up or taken their foot off the gas, but your persistence and I’m sure diplomacy, led to my successful appointment. Once again thanks for all your help and assistance.”
