Written by the company

We’re a group of people coming from varying backgrounds and careers including hospitality, leisure and sales. There is a common thread that runs through us all – we’re all ‘people’ people and we love what we do! You might be wondering why this is important, and perhaps we should be a little more professional as individuals working in recruitment. We don’t want to hide behind a mask of professionalism – we aren’t robots, we are human beings, and it’s that raw human element that means we are great at what we do. We don’t force people into roles or companies that aren’t suitable – we match people and businesses with the same values and meet each other’s requirements and expectations. And we do it really well!

Thank you Anne-Marie Smith & The Sterling Choice

I can’t thank Anne-Marie Smith enough for the incredible support and guidance she gave me throughout my job search. From our very first conversation, she was warm, professional, and genuinely committed to finding the right role for me.

Anne-Marie took the time to understand my skills, experience, and career goals, and matched me with a position that fits me perfectly. She kept in constant contact, provided valuable interview tips, and always made me feel supported and confident every step of the way.

Thanks to her hard work and dedication, I’m now in a role I truly enjoy. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly goes above and beyond.

Thank you, Anne-Marie – you were incredible!

Excellent work and care

I had the pleasure of connecting with Gareth when he reached out to me regarding a role that aligned closely with my experience and interests. From our first conversation, it was clear that Gareth is an exceptional recruitment professional — detailed, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to understanding the needs on both sides of the hiring process.

What stood out most was his hands-on approach. Gareth takes the time to truly understand not only the role but also the context, expectations, and long-term fit for both candidate and company. He communicated clearly and consistently, offering helpful insights and regular follow-ups throughout the recruitment journey.

Even after I successfully joined the company, Gareth stayed in touch and has remained a supportive point of contact. His willingness to offer help and guidance beyond the hiring process speaks volumes about his professionalism and dedication.

I’m grateful for Gareth’s support and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a recruitment partner who goes above and beyond.

I was not looking for a new job but…

I was not looking for a new job but Sterling approached me on LINKEDIN with an opportunity. They provided me with Team Members LinkedIn profiles and I discovered we knew each other or had same connections. The day I went in too resign, former employer unexpectedly offered me a buy out due to an unexpected reduction in upcoming production. My new offer letter was in my E-mail by the time I arrived home. LOL!

Oliver the opportunist

Oliver is a delight to work with: as professional as he is articulate. His constant communication and adaptability has made the whole process seamless but supportive. Not your typical recruiter, I would strongly recommend giving Olly a call, you never know when opportunity comes knocking.

Fastest hiring process of all time!

I was contacted about a role which had just launched, and was given some very clear, open and honest details about the business and the risks that I’d be taking if I were to further my interest. The business is a start up, building infrastructure, its employee base, its customer portfolio, and is still a long way from its finished article.
The communication was clear, was timely and allowed me to fit interviews in around my other commitments.
I was offered the role two days after initial contact. And I believe this was because the job brief was understood, the type of candidate the business wanted was clearly defined, everyone involved was willing to be flexible and work at pace, and wanted the best outcome for all parties.
