I’d highly recommend

I recently secured a role after help from Tom Burles at Christopher Brian and couldn’t recommend him enough. Tom was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process and really took the time to understand what I was looking for in my next role. His communication was always clear and timely, and he kept me well-informed at every stage.

Tom also knew his client (my future employer) well and thoroughly answered all questions that I had ensuring that the role was a good fit for me.

I’d highly recommend Tom and the team at Christopher Brian to anyone looking for their next opportunity in accounting or finance — they truly go above and beyond.

Just brilliant

I recently started looking for a new job to which making contact with Christopher Brian Recruitment made this so easy for me. Sam Kingston-Stewart was super friendly and was extremely helpful with proposed employers, setting up interviews etc I couldn’t have asked for more. Sam you really are a credit to the company, thank you so much!

Excellent client-led service

I have worked with Harvey recently who has been incredible. From the moment that I had my first introduction call with Harvey, he has been nothing short of reliable, enthusiastic, personable, and efficient. Harvey takes the time to get to know his clients well as he really wants to know that you will be happy and well suited to the role, and will put your needs first. With that said, he found me a role (within a few days!)and I absolutely love it. The job is everything that I asked for, and that comes down to Harvey genuinely caring about his clients wants and needs. I have no hesitation in recommending Harveys' services to anyone!

Stellar Service

I genuinely can’t thank Sam enough for his assistance in my job search. From our very first email, Sam’s communication was prompt and steadfast, always providing me with helpful updates and a clear agenda so I knew what to expect.

Sam’s genuine kindness and constant communication meant I never felt the dreaded despair that often comes in hand with a job search. The help I received from Christopher Brian Recruitment has instilled in me a new confidence in my abilities and a passion for work again, and for that I am endlessly grateful.

Amazing company!

Todd was an amazing recruiter! He was very patient with me and understood exactly what I was looking for. He took his time to go through interview techniques with me and was always in constant communication. 100% would recommend Todd to anyone!

Todd is a game changer!

Honestly, I can’t thank Todd enough! He really took the time to understand what I was looking for, helped me prep step by step, and made me feel confident going into the interviews. Thanks to his guidance, the interview went super smooth and I quickly landed a job at a very nice company within 2 weeks – with an amazing offer on top of that!

This recruitment agent is an absolute star to work with, shout out again for Todd and his amazing support!

Always so helpful towards any worries and answering all my questions. Working hard to look at a persons talent. Honestly this has been the only recruitment company that actually did there role how you should.

Thankyou so so so much once again TODD AND BAILEY.

An older professional

As an older professional, I was sceptical about the whole recruitment agency process having experience poor standards of service in the past.
The service I have received from Harvey at Christopher Brian has been professional, efficient and supportive. No hard sell but a genuine desire to make sure my next position fitted my skill set, personality and requirements. Their pre interview advice was helpful and got me into the right mindset to approach my interviews.

Todd Grainger’s help landed me an amazing opportunity.

I had just finished my university degree and commenced my search for a role in my preferred field. I quickly understood that this will be quite a mentally challenging task as many of my application failed at first stage, even before an interview.

I came across a role advertised by Christopher Brian and managed by Todd Grainger, who then contacted me and gathered more information around me as a person, my ambitions, my preferred positions within the team. He reassured me that he will contact various firms and present me as their new team member.

Not long after, he confirmed two interviews with two great firms. With his interview preparation call and help sheet, I performed superbly with both conversations, leading to me landing an exciting role.

I cannot believe how I had gone from a demotivated mindset, applying to any position available and losing sight of my goals to now having a laid out path within a growing firm.

Todd Made the Job Hunt Smooth and Successful

I was struggling at my previous workplace, the culture just wasn’t the right fit for me. One day, I decided to search for new opportunities and came across a job posting that led me to Todd.

From the first call, Todd was incredibly helpful. He took the time to walk me through everything and mentioned that he had a few roles that could be a great match. I’ve worked with recruiters before, but Todd really stood out. He was proactive, arranged a quick Teams call, and thoroughly went over the details with me.

What really impressed me was how quickly he moved. Within no time, he lined up two interviews for me. Just two weeks after our initial call, I had secured a new job—all thanks to Todd.

I don’t have the strongest academic background or the most impressive CV, but Todd genuinely believed in me. His support, flexibility around scheduling, and honest guidance made a huge difference. He was realistic about what was possible, and that honesty helped set the right expectations. In the end, he helped me land a role I’m truly happy with.

I’m incredibly grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly cares and delivers.

Harvey Made the Job Hunt Easy

I had a fantastic experience working with Harvey. From the start, he took the time to understand my background and what I was looking for in my next role. He quickly identified two local companies that matched all my criteria and arranged interviews with both. Harvey provided a comprehensive interview prep sheet and even walked me through potential questions I might encounter. Throughout the entire process he was incredibly supportive and responsive, always available to answer any questions I had. Thanks to his guidance, I received an offer within just three weeks of our initial contact. If I am ever in the job market in the future, Harvey at Christopher Brian will be my first port of call!

Definately recommend

Todd was very helpful in securing a new job. He was understanding when I explained I was working with other agents and stayed in regular contact to ensure there was no duplications of my CV going out.
He was very supportive when I had doubts and fed back to employers my concerns. It was a very smooth process from interview to job offer and will continue through the process until my start date in the new firm.
Very happy to recommend
