Testimonials

  • My Experience with Superior Recruitment Group Limited, specifically Mavournia Carr has been the most positive thus far in my working with a recruiter.
    Firstly, she was able to locate myself as a fit for a highly specialized role and industry. The approach was polite, thoughtful and considerate and when we first spoke, she had a command of the role and the Company more than anyone I had spoken with previously. All of my questions were answered which highlighted she had done her due diligence before embarking on the search.
    During the process, I was kept up to speed and developments and more importantly, she touched base with me even when there was stall in progression and supplied a reason why.
    Before any interviews, she was sure to check in and see if I had any concerns and was also helpful in providing feedback from past discussions.
    I can say without a doubt that the approach, upkeep and follow through should be a master class for any recruiting firm industry and anyone lucky enough to be approached by them should know you are in the best possible hands.

  • I recently engaged Gareth to assist with a hard-to-fill role within our business. Throughout the process, he was excellent at keeping me up to date and was very reactive to our requests – this has resulted in a great hire for us that we would not have been able to source directly. Gareth is personable, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, very honest with his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend, and I shall look forward to working with him again in the future.

  • Mav was instrumental in securing a career advancement for me and helping guide the interview process. I received frequent contact and updates, and felt very well taken care of in my recruitment journey. She was quick to answer any queries and provided helpful feedback at each stage of the process.

  • Throughout my time with Superior Recruitment, I have been consistently impressed by their fast and clear communication, which makes the whole process smooth and stress-free. They are always easy to get hold of, quick to respond, and keep me well informed at every stage. Another highlight has been their honesty and forthrightness whenever there are changes to jobs. In particular, I would like to highlight Phillip Champion and Rebecca Pizl, who I corresponded with most. Both have been a pleasure to deal with — professional, approachable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is handled efficiently.
    I am genuinely very happy working with Superior Recruitment and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable and supportive recruitment partner.

  • Although we have our own recruitment specialists within our company, we have struggled for a number of years to employ a robust and effective US Country Manager for our Houston office so we decided to engage the services of Superior Recruitment Group. Gareth and his team worked closely with us to ascertain our exact requirements, which formed the basis of their search criteria. After matching several candidates, they provided profiles for our review. Following an efficient and transparent process we employed a Manager who is far better than the incumbents who have held this position before him, and we’re very pleased with his progress.
    I can honestly say that we’ve been very impressed with the manner in which Gareth and his team have performed their tasks throughout the assignment. So much so that we have recently engaged Superior Recruitment Group to assist us with another US based position.
