Fantastic experience, would 100% recommend

Jo has been fantastic from start to finish! Very supportive, informative and helpful with plenty of guidance. I had a pre interview phone call to offer reassurance and last minute guidance, and then an hour after my interview Jo called to offer me the job with plenty of congratulations etc.
I would 100% recommend Pear Tree Recruitment for both job seekers, and companies who are looking for employees.
Thanks again Jo!

I have just received my Second Job through pear tree recruitment. Each experience has been so helpful and definitely relieved stress during the job hunt.

Glen was really amazing, finding multiple jobs that were a great fit for myself and giving thorough preparation and feedback for each interview.

I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for work, even in the toughest job markets Glen was able to reassure and keep me hopeful and land the job that I wanted.

Amazing organisation and work!

The whole process was incredibly smooth, I had frequent open communication with multiple members of staff, and was well reassured and encouraged throughout my experience. I experienced a significant issue within my family life, and I was supported incredibly well by the team. Applications were easy to complete and staff were friendly, reassuring and supportive.

Pear Tree Recruitment provided an excellent service throughout my job search. Jo was transparent about the role and demonstrated a clear understanding of my priorities when considering my next employer. I was always encouraged to ask further questions and felt fully supported at every stage of the process. I would highly recommend Pear Tree Recruitment.

Unhelpful and rude employees

Unhelpful and rude employees. Applied to a temporary role and was told I couldn’t apply because I wasn’t able to be permanent. The role encouraged hospitality to apply and they were shocked (and rude) that my background was hospitality. Didn’t discuss the role or any alternative roles with me then told me to “keep an eye out on indeed”. Avoid this company.

Thank you for your review, Lauren. To clarify, while your experience is suitable to the types of roles we recruit for, you applied for a temporary to permanent role (as stated in the job advert) and the length of time left on your travel/work visa meant we couldn’t consider you on this occasion (which we explained). Had we any suitable temporary roles available currently we would have certainly spoken to you about them, and we suggested you keep an eye out on Indeed so as not to miss out on any such opportunities. We wish you the best of luck in your job search.
