What our Candidates Say
“I would like to thank Permanent Solutions, Lisa and Emma, for their support and advice in matching me with my new position. It’s been a refreshing change dealing with a recruitment agency such as this.” Placed Candidate
“Permanent Solutions Direct are experts in their field. They operate with professionalism at all times, but also show an understanding, empathy and friendly side often lacking with recruitment companies today. Permanent Solutions Direct are more than just another recruitment agency. They’re real people as well.” Will Corder – Placed Candidate
“Permanent solutions is by far the most professional agency I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Lisa helped to build a very personal feeling about going for my interview and actually, really made me feel at ease about the people who would be interviewing me. I feel this gave me an edge at interview stage but I would never have felt so comfortable if it not been for Lisa’s frank advice and the faith she had in me to fulfill this post. This coupled with the ‘touches’ they added once my employment had commenced will keep this company growing for years to come. I am very grateful to PSD for the quick and speedy but very personal, detailed and dedicated service I was given by permanent solutions, for that reason I would recommend them to everyone I know.” Marissa Irons – Placed Candidate
‘As a candidate actively seeking a new opportunity, I was offered a first class experience by both Lisa Jarvis and her team from Permanent Solutions. Their professional and proactive approach gave me confidence about the process and progress of my application and the regular two way communication ensured that both I, as the candidate, and the client organisation, were fully in the picture at all times. Thank you!’ Gill Whensley – Placed Candidate
‘My experience with Permanent solutions Direct has been nothing but positive. As a graduate fresh out of Uni they took a chance on me where other agencies wouldn’t. I now have an amazing job recruiting for Virgin Holidays and even use PSD to source candidates for the positions I am now responsible for recruiting.’ Claire Willoughby – Placed Candidate
‘In the three years I have been using Permanent solutions direct I have nothing but praise for Lisa and the team. They are consummate professionals at all times. They listen to both the client’s needs and the candidates, so that they have a fantastic knack of matching perfectly. I have had some great Interim placements and have experienced a wide range of business sectors, including a charity, an aircraft handing agent, the NHS and also B&HCC. Having had such a range of experiences, I feel I am able to offer clients so much more. All thanks to Permanent Solutions Direct.’ Elaine Healey – Placed Candidate
‘I felt I must write to express my extreme delight in dealing with you. I discussed my requirements and aspirations with you, and less than one week later I had been offered a job from my number one employer of choice. (in a deteriorating job-seekers market!) I still have to remind myself that not only am I working in a fabulous company (Virgin Holidays) but also how well you have placed me in a job where my personality (and not just my skills) were so perfectly matched to the environment. Although I hope not to have to use your services for some while yet (as a candidate), should I need to, you will be the first recruitment agency that I contact. In my job hunt, there are many agencies who range from idle to good, however you have come out the clear leader by a long way. Also working in HR, and having to frequently use recruitment agencies, there are some that I will not be using, having experienced them from a candidate perspective. A massive thanks to you all!’ Tammi King- Placed Candidate
‘As a candidate with Permanent Solutions Direct I found them to be professional and helpful with a friendly, approachable manner. They were not in the least pushy and seemed to have the candidate’s interests at heart. They met with me prior to me attending an interview to ensure that it was the right move for both the company and for me. I would strongly recommend Permanent Solutions Direct to any Company requiring an efficient professional agency to deal with or a candidate looking for their next opportunity.’ Julie Burridge – Placed Candidate
‘Permanent Solutions got me a fantastic temp role working for a leading holiday company in my local area. I have been very impressed by their professional approach to their clients and their temps, they are always helpful and friendly but more importantly they will always try to find the right match for all the roles they fill.’ Elaine Smith – Placed Candidate
“Permanent Solutions Direct are honestly the best recruitment agency I have worked with over the years. The team are professional, friendly and approachable. They had on their books a role that was just what I was looking for and with their help I managed to secure the job. I really believe that Permanent Solutions have both the company with the vacancy and the candidates best interests at heart and do their very best to find a good match. I feel I have been very lucky to work with them and I would like to say a big thank you to the team!” Laura Bennett – Placed Candidate
