What Our Clients Say
“Lisa Jarvis has been known to me in a professional capacity for over 10 years as both a client and candidate. I had no hesitation in using the services of Permanent Solutions Direct under both guises due to Lisa’s involvement in this venture.
It is rare to see such professionalism, integrity, consistency and reliability in the recruitment industry, particularly in such periods of boom and bust where temptation to indulge in quick win short term practice is committed by so many agencies purporting to be “high end” service providers. This is not only my personal experience but that of both clients and candidates that I have come into contact with. Permanent Solutions Direct under Lisa’s leadership is quite rightly building a solid reputation for high standards of service and is gathering momentum in forging long lasting and collaborative relationships with both candidates and clients alike.

I have really appreciated your understanding of our business and the Personnel function in particular. Your candidates have come very well briefed! You have listened carefully to our requirements and delivered profiles that met them. The feedback from managers that have met your candidates has also been positive.”
HR Manager, Global Organisation
‘Virgin Holidays have worked with Permanent Solutions Direct over the past 4 years and I am pleased to say they have placed many excellent candidates with us. I have always found them to be an exceptional agency that has provided a very professional service. They work on the basis of building a relationship with their clients by understanding their business, culture and values. They have been extremely thorough in their search and selection methods, which included carrying out detailed interviews with the candidates to ensure they matched our criteria. This has proved invaluable as they only send candidates they feel are right for the role and who would fit our culture and values. It has been a refreshing change to deal with an agency that really listens to your requirements and works on building trust by understanding your business.’
General Manager- People and Performance
‘I have always found Lisa and her team a pleasure to deal with. Lisa understands our business, what it takes to be a great Vhols employee and what I require from my team and the successful candidates. In my most recent recruitment drive Lisa provided me with high quality CV’s and good strong candidates which resulted in me hiring all 3 positions through PSD. As Lisa only sends me quality, pre screened candidates it make the whole process easier and faster. Lisa and her team are dedicated; provide a professional slick service where I feel valued and comfortable that my recruitment is getting the attention that I require. Would I use PSD for my recruitment in the future? Without a doubt!’
