For me, the difference with Select is that they invest the time to understand your requirements both as a business customer and as a candidate and match you to the right people or positions. Unlike a lot of Recruitment companies the communication is strong from the Select team with regular updates and you never feel like just another candidate in a drawer. Dedication, passion, professionalism and commitment are the qualities that set them apart from the rest and I cannot rate the Select team more highly.

"Lovely agency to Temp with. Always there for advice and respond quickly to any queries I have had over the last couple of months. I would like to thank my consultant for an incredible service he has provided me, very professional and cares about his work within Select Appointments."

I have just worked with Emma in the Norwich branch to find me a new role after redundancy due to Covid. Emma is, hands down, the best recruiter I have ever worked with. She really took the time to understand the role I was looking for and also had a great connection with the businesses she was working with. When the first position she put me forward for didn't work out, she found several others which were a great fit. She was tenacious on my behalf and I felt she was as invested in getting me the right role as I was! I would highly recommend Select and Emma to applicants and businesses alike.
