Amazing organisation and work!

The whole process was incredibly smooth, I had frequent open communication with multiple members of staff, and was well reassured and encouraged throughout my experience. I experienced a significant issue within my family life, and I was supported incredibly well by the team. Applications were easy to complete and staff were friendly, reassuring and supportive.

An outstanding service all round

An outstanding service all round!
From initial conversation I found Gemma to be extremely knowledgeable and professional to deal with and really understood her clients needs.
I will certainly use her in the future to support my own recruitment needs.

Professional and knowledgable

The whole process was as it should be, professional and fast. Gemma and Glen (I think it was) had great knowledge of the company I was applying for, prepared me for my interview well and ultimately made getting a job that I’m really pleased about a lot easier than it could be.

Pear Tree Recruitment

Pear Tree Recruitment provided an excellent service throughout my job search. Jo was transparent about the role and demonstrated a clear understanding of my priorities when considering my next employer. I was always encouraged to ask further questions and felt fully supported at every stage of the process. I would highly recommend Pear Tree Recruitment.

Unhelpful and rude employees

Unhelpful and rude employees. Applied to a temporary role and was told I couldn’t apply because I wasn’t able to be permanent. The role encouraged hospitality to apply and they were shocked (and rude) that my background was hospitality. Didn’t discuss the role or any alternative roles with me then told me to “keep an eye out on indeed”. Avoid this company.

Thank you for your review, Lauren. To clarify, while your experience is suitable to the types of roles we recruit for, you applied for a temporary to permanent role (as stated in the job advert) and the length of time left on your travel/work visa meant we couldn’t consider you on this occasion (which we explained). Had we any suitable temporary roles available currently we would have certainly spoken to you about them, and we suggested you keep an eye out on Indeed so as not to miss out on any such opportunities. We wish you the best of luck in your job search.

I had a great experience with Pear Tree Recruitment. Glen contacted me regarding a role I had applied for on Indeed. From the initial registration process through to starting my new job Glen couldn’t have been more helpful prepping me at every stage and ensuring I was ready for each interview. Glen kept me updated throughout the recruitment process with regular calls and follow up emails. Thank you Glen

Great Agency

I applied for the job through Indeed but Pear Tree were recruiting for the role. I dealt with Jo and she was brilliant from start to finish. The process was smooth and Jo kept me informed throughout the process and helped me before the interview. I would highly recommend.

A really helpful recruitment agency

A really helpful recruitment agency through the whole process from interview prep and background checking to the start of onboarding with my new employer. Would like to give special mention and thanks to Glen who has been brilliant and helpful throughout every interaction and inspired trust during what is naturally an anxiety inducing process.

A phenomenal experience

I graduated from university in May and have been looking for a job ever since. I had applied for probably nearing 100 jobs with little luck. When I applied for a job through Pear Tree, from the get go, Glen was so helpful and lovely to talk to. He helped me prep for the interview and made sure I was comfortable and happy. I start tomorrow and the onboarding process has also been smooth with the help of Pear Tree. Would highly recommend the company to anyone looking for a job

My experience with Pear Tree…

My experience with Pear Tree Recruitment has been exceptional. Even though my onboarding process hasn't been straightforward, Glen and Gemma have been proactive, kind, encouraging and supportive throughout. They made a stressful process so much easier by always being available whenever I needed support with anything.
