Grant helped give me an overview of the Scottish industry before providing details of relevant and suitable opportunities, lining up interviews with companies I was interested in working for and negotiating a deal both parties are happy with. Overall approachable and reliable throughout the process.
Commissioning Engineer, US
Jordan and I have been working with each other for the last couple of weeks and it has been an absolute pleasure. Starting off, she took the time to understand my future career goals, needs, and overall job expectations. This eventually led to her connecting me to multiple different interviews. In the process of seeking a new job opportunity, Jordan was always extremely responsive and efficient. She would consistently provide me updates, call to check-in, and was always available for any questions. Jordan was always very motivating and optimistic, which goes a long way in this process. Eventually, with Jordan’s help, I was able to find a new job opportunity that aligned with my career goals. If anyone is thinking about seeking a new opportunity, I would highly recommend connecting with Jordan!
Quality Manager, UK
Ronan phoned me out of the blue looking for potential quality contacts, but it turned out that I was a potential candidate for the role. He put me forward to AmcoGiffen and I was offered an online interview, a second face-to-face interview the following week, then a formal offer. Every step along the way, Ronan kept me informed of the progress, listened to any questions or queries, and relayed the information. He even sent a good luck message to me on the morning of my start day! I would recommend Ronan to anyone looking for assistance with recruitment as he has been open, honest, and accountable at every step. Thank you, Ronan.
