Testimonials

Kit’s communication is great; he is honest, quick and clear and keeps me informed at all times. He is very responsive to calls and emails to make sure that we do not let that perfect candidate get away. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Kit over the last 7 weeks and look forward to working together more in the future. Recruitment is looking brighter

MillerPeople Manager

Kit was a really good bloke. Called me back within a few hours of applying for a job. Asked all the right questions and got me an interview with the owner of the company the same day. 10/10 would recommend.

TomCandidate

It has been so refreshing to speak with someone that really understands the industry. We are a growing specialist business and Kit came to our depot and took the time to get a really good feel for our business and what we need form a candidate. Over a period of 4 weeks we successfully filled two vacancies. Most refreshing was the quality of the candidates submitted. Only CV's for candidates that totally met the brief were submitted and so much time was saved. I can't recommend KMC Recruitment enough!
