Pear Tree Recruitment offers a decent service in the recruitment process. Gemma, Glen, and Jo were supportive and approachable, ensuring communication and professionalism. While there were some ups and downs with opportunities initially, the quick turnaround in finding roles is commendable. It seems they really aim to match candidates to suitable job opportunities. However, it's still just an average experience overall compared to other recruitment agencies.

I felt as though I was supported throughout the entire experience and even after securing the job was contacted just to be wished luck.

The person who helped me (Glen) really couldn't be any better at his job. He clearly cares about what he's doing and has been a huge help throughout the journey.

I would also like to thank his colleague, who called on his behalf when he was on holiday to talk to me on my way to the interview and prepare me for what to expect. Unfortunately, I can't remember her name.

If their boss sees this I hope they both get a bonus or pay rise, but ideally both. Thank you!

God bless Glen

Worked with Glen who was really supportive and helped me find a position that I'm excited to begin! Very glad to have come across Pear Tree Recruitment in my job search as I definitely would not have been able to find a role that suits me this quickly without their help.

Glen Gill

I have had the pleasure of being in contact with Glen since last year, and throughout that time, he has been incredibly supportive. Earlier this year, in March, we explored an opportunity together, which unfortunately didn’t come to fruition. However, Glen continued to stay in touch and recently reached out with a new opportunity, which has now resulted in an offer.

I am immensely grateful for his unwavering confidence in me, for always recognizing my dedication and hard work, and for presenting me with valuable market opportunities. It has been a privilege to work with someone who demonstrates such professionalism and commitment to helping candidates succeed.

Lastly, I want to express my sincere gratitude for this new opportunity. I truly appreciate the trust placed in me and am excited for what lies ahead.

Pleasure to work with

Glen was a pleasure to work with and was essential to my job search after finishing University. The recruitment process was extremely quick taking around 1.5 weeks from start to job offer. Would definitely recommend them to anyone searching for a role more tailored to your skills.
