Testimonials
-
I have used recruiters in the past to assist with different roles, but the calibre of people was not at the level we needed. With Portfolio, where they have a specialist team only dealing with payroll specialists, it was the best option for us
-
Other recruitment companies were not listening to our requirements. We were being passed CV's that did not match the brief. However, the consultant we worked with at Portfolio Group listened, and then used their expertise to give us candidates that aligned with the skills and personality we were looking for.
-
Portfolio always ensure we have high quality candidates put in front of us during the recruitment process. These candidates have been vetted, ensuring they have the right qualifications & required expertise to understand our needs & the complexities of the systems that they are coming to work on.
-
I was impressed by how quickly and efficiently the process worked. We had a call on Wednesday, I had 6-7 CV’s to select by Friday, and I was interviewing and had made the decision by the following Wednesday. That speed was so essential for this role, given how critical it was.
-
Portfolio Procurement has a good understanding of the skill set required to be successful at the business. Having worked with your team for the last 4 years I know and trust the quality of the CV’s that are shared.
-
Portfolio Group worked with us to swiftly identify our temporary resource requirement and arranged interviews for 3 highly skilled candidates. The candidate we onboarded is exceptional and embedded well into our team.
-
I reached out to Portfolio, they very quickly understood the requirement and sent a number of well-matched candidates within a few hours. Interviews were held over the next 2 days and an offer made and accepted within a week. I highly recommend them.
-
As a hiring manager, working with the Portfolio Group is a great experience. Clear communication with candidates and the HR team, enable us to fast track the hiring process. 30% of my team is filled by them. Thanks for the huge support.
-
It’s always a pleasure to work with the Portfolio team. They understand our recruitment requirements and match to our specific needs. The whole team are extremely helpful and efficient. I would highly recommend a business with recruitment needs to use Portfolio Group’s services.
-
As a client of the Portfolio Group, I cannot praise their attentiveness enough. They are always really helpful and understand our recruitment needs. Would highly recommend The Portfolio Group to any business looking to hire great candidates.
-
Excellent service received from Portfolio. They both managed to source excellent candidates to fill positions, one temp and one perm, within an extremely short space of time. Communication with both was excellent and I look forward to reaching out to them again when the time arises.
