Jake and Jade - The Dream Team

I joined HCRG in February and since then I've had nothing but support and encouragement. Jake and Jade saw strengths in me that I wasn't able to see in myself and put me forward for roles that I never would have applied for on my own, which I ended up getting. They are a full service team who go above and beyond for their workers. They are an absolute credit to the company and I would wholeheartedly recommend HCRG, solely off the back of the care I received from Jake and Jade. Absolute superstars!!!

Alisha has been an outstanding agent…

Alisha has been an outstanding agent during my 3 years with HCL as an SHO. She consistently kept me busy with work that matched my skills and interests. Alisha was incredibly understanding and supportive whenever I needed annual leaves, making the process seamless and stress-free. Her availability and responsiveness are unmatched—she’s always there when I need her. Alisha’s dedication, empathy, and proactive approach make her a true asset to HCL. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and professional agent who genuinely cares about her clients. She’s simply the best!

Jade has been very helpful throughout my interview process to being hired. She regularly checks in with me and has been very helpful with any queries.

Ellie has also been very helpful. Thankyou to both of you :)

10/10 would recommend HCRG if you are looking for a job in social care.

Really positive experience of HCL

Really positive experience of HCL. Been with them since October this year and can honestly say they are the best agency I've been with and I have been a locum for thirteen years. I am particularly impressed with Jake who is my consultant, so patient, kind, reassuring and helpful. Always willing to go the extra mile. He seems interested in locums as people and not just as business. He has a great unflappable style of working and never appears to get ruffled by anything. I feel I can contact him about any issues that might arise and he will always listen and respond. Definitely five stars from me!
