Testimonials

Emma was supportive throughout the recruitment process for my new role. We had regular check ins and Emma was always available for catch ups. Not only was her support great during my interview stage but also at offer acceptance stage also. I would not hesitate to work with Emma again.

Head of Referrals Business Development

Dan is clear, open and transparent with people, this builds trust and confidence in him, and I have seen first-hand during visits to his workplace how he develops ‘followship’ in his team and how this translates to them giving extra discretionary effort to deliver the desired outcomes. Above all people trust him to get the right result. People respect him, and they like to work with him. Everyone who interacts with him is better for the experience, and this includes myself.

Chief Information Officer

Like many I have worked with Recruitment Agencies for a number of years, both as a candidate and an employer. It’s fair to say that this isn’t the easiest or most enjoyable of experiences at times and it’s with this in mind that I do not hesitate to recommend Dan Hughes and the IT Team at Gleeson Recruitment. Dan and I met when I applied for a role that Gleeson had been commissioned to place and through my experience I can say that the team expertly strike the balance between acting in the best interest of their client but also seeking out, building a relationship with, and maintaining the interest of candidates.
