Platform helped me with my career progression twice over the last 10 years. They've been very diligent in identifying which of my skills actually match the job and the company as well as negotiating competitive salary and benefits packages.”
“After trying for almost a year to find my first developer role, Jac from Platform Recruitment was the one who found me a job. He offered a level of service and professionalism that I had not experienced from recruiters before; his levels of communication were amazing and he regularly checked in with me to give me updates. He was also a joy to deal with and easy to speak to, and was genuinely interested in talking to me. I highly recommend Platform Recruitment based on this experience!”
Platform have been excellent to work with, professional and friendly in their approach. They have helped us with a few hires, providing an excellent selection of candidates who have always fulfilled our brief.
I had great service from Platform Recruitment. They took a detailed brief and asked insightful questions to fully understand not just the basics of the role but about our company culture, the team dynamics, and what the first few months would look like for the new hire... they always returned calls and kept me updated. When my lead consultant was not in, her colleagues were well-informed and stood in. I'll definitely call them with my next vacancy.
Platform Recruitment was helpful and understood our requirements very well. They efficiently organised interviews and contract modifications to fit our business requirements. Thanks to Platform Recruitment, we were able to find a more suitable engineer in a much shorter time than usual. I can easily recommend working with Platform to anyone who searches for top talents.
We have strict/high standards in our hiring. Unlike other recruiters, who often find our spec too challenging, Platform Recruitment embraced it and found a great choice of candidates. This ended up with us hiring not just one, but two outstanding employees for our company in the space of just a few weeks.
Cannot recommend them enough, they’ve been top-notch. We’ve built a whole new team in a few weeks.
I have worked with Platform in regard to recruitment into our R+D vacancies, which have been somewhat of a struggle to fill. They were professional and courteous and worked really hard to deliver candidates that were specific to our business and recruitment needs. I recommend working with Platform if you get the opportunity to do so.
Platform Recruitment has done an excellent job of finding us high-quality engineering candidates to fill our mechanical engineering positions. Their ability to understand exactly the type of people we need and then deliver us options is hard to come by, in my experience. They found us so many candidates that we were eventually spoilt for choice. Our team is fully populated with highly skilled and well-fitting people now, thanks to Platform Recruitment.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Platform Recruitment. The team have been providing us with fantastic candidates for many years now and they are trusted business partners who supply many of our new employees each year.
The quality of their service and their candidates, along with the fact that Platform know and understand our business well, means that they provide efficiency for us financially and time-wise. But the thing I most appreciate about Platform Recruitment is that I know they have a good moral compass and they put the needs of both our company and individual candidates first, over and above financial gain – a rare quality in today’s world of recruitment. They are not just business partners but have proved themselves to be part of our team.
Platform is a reliable and trustworthy recruitment company who take the time to gain a detailed understanding of our needs both in terms of the technical requirements, and personality and cultural fit. I’ve always found the team to be fast without compromising on quality and act as a true partner to our business.
In terms of my experience with Platform Recruitment I will say they have been phenomenal and their professional ethics have been superb. Platform Recruitment exceeded my expectations of what I expect from a recruitment agency.
From our first introductory meeting, you kept me well informed on the recruitment process in and out of office hours which has been highly appreciated. Once again I will say thank you for all your help.

At Platform, we’re passionate about supporting meaningful causes. If there’s a charity event or initiative you’d like to organise, we’d be more than happy to work with you to make it a reality and help you make a positive impact.
