  Stuart is unlike any other recruiter I’ve worked with before: he brought a personal touch to the entire recruitment process, from initial call to the hiring stage and first days in the role. I’m very glad we connected. Thanks Stuart!

  I have been thoroughly impressed with the professionalism of Stuart at Conrad Finance. From the very first phone call Stuart understood the kind of role I was looking for and only put me forward for jobs that he felt most suited my skill set. He remained in constant communication with me not only during the interview process but also once the job had been offered. I always felt that he was at the end of the phone, if and when required. I would not hesitate to contact him again should I be in a position where I am seeking new employment.

  I have had the pleasure of working with Stuart Allsopp at Conrad for the past 9 months on all of Croudace’s head office and construction-related recruitment.  Conrad are one of our few Tier 1 preferred suppliers for the recruitment of head office, site and other construction staff.  Whilst I have only worked with Conrad on these roles, they have also supported other areas of the business on engineering roles.  Whilst I have been working with Conrad for 9 months, since I joined Croudace, the HR team and Technical Directors have been partnering with them for a number of years.
   
  From my direct involvement with Stuart, I find that he has sought to fully understand the roles we are recruiting for, and to grasp the intricacies of our requirements such that he has been able to consistently provide high quality candidates for consideration.  Since working together, Stuart has managed to help us fill some difficult roles where we have previously been struggling to find the right talent.  Stuart has demonstrated tenacity and commitment to meeting our needs, and whilst he must work with a number of clients, we certainly feel a personal and dedicated touch.
   
  Stuart and the Conrad team have now become trusted recruitment partners, and we hope that the relationship continues in the future.

  I've been on the hunt for a new role for a little under three months now and in that time I've talked to and worked with more recruiters than I can count. I've lost track of the number of times I've been messed around, delayed, given excuses and even had recruiters go completely silent on me without explanation and after some initially very promising discussions.
  
  Then comes my application via Conrad Connect and my experience with them has been leagues ahead of anyone else I've dealt with.
  
  I had a call from Stuart first thing the morning after submitting my application and it was such a breath of fresh air. Stuart was direct, honest and friendly right off the bat and when he had me booked in for a face to face interview within a few hours of our initial discussion he proved Conrad Connect are efficient as well!
  
  It was only a few days between speaking to Stuart and having my interview and throughout the whole process Stuart kept in touch, made sure I was prepped and was an invaluable source of advice.
  
  After my interview Stuart was in touch within the hour to see how I felt about it and within 2 hours he had spoken to my interviewers and passed on their initial feedback, again showcasing his efficiency! Better yet, by the end of the day he had an offer of employment for me with a salary package that actually exceeded what I'd asked for!
  
  All in all, my experience with Conrad Connect has been brief in the best possible way. In the months I'd been job hunting and of all the recruiters I'd worked with Stuart sits right there at the top. The entire experience was faultless and as a candidate it was refreshing to work with someone who had faith in me as a candidate, rather than just treating me as a potential commission payment. I can't recommend Conrad Connect and Stuart highly enough!

  I can highly recommend Stuart and Conrad Connect for your next job search.
  Stuart took the time to really get to know the business, our requirements, and the culture, never wasting our time with unsuitable candidates.
  He makes an effort to keep in touch and is upfront and honest, which has helped to build a trusted relationship.
  It has been refreshing working with Stuart and we now work with Conrad Connect on a sole agent basis for Business Support roles as we have been so impressed by the level of service and the calibre of the candidates.
  Great service and excellent communication.
  Thanks Stuart!
