Testimonials and Case Studies

“I contacted Ellis Fairbank with an urgent recruitment need and was extremely impressed by the capabilities and expertise of the Construction Division. The Consultant displayed a profound understanding of the Structural Steel market place as well as the specific skills required within the role. This gave me full confidence that investing in Ellis Fairbank to resolve my need was a sound business decision. It was clear that they had the capacity and knowledge to conduct both a highly effective and in-depth headhunt campaign through their network of contacts. I was kept well-informed throughout the process and was particularly impressed by the quality of the candidates that had been both approached and presented to me within one week of the initial brief. Ellis Fairbank are clearly experts in what they do. I will have no hesitation in contacting the Ellis Fairbank Construction Practice in the future as and when other roles arise and equally would recommend their service to any other company”.

“Our relationship with Ellis Fairbank Plc began two years ago when I was searching for a Recruitment Search and Selection Company that I could work with in true partnership and trust implicitly with sensitive knowledge about our company. Since then Ellis Fairbank have worked hard at understanding our business, it’s direction and strategy and people requirements. As a result we have worked together on a number of recruitment projects. I have always been very impressed with the overall professional, prompt service we have received from the Consultant in question. His commitment to the task has resulted in us successfully filling every position we have placed with Ellis Fairbank. He has kept us informed on a regular basis both by telephone and email to ensure the recruitment process has progressed swiftly and accurately. Of equal importance is the fact that all candidates that have been recruited speak very highly of the professional and thorough service offered by Ellis Fairbank and their team of Consultants. My experience of Ellis Fairbanks’s ability to find the right person and keep everyone informed allows me to recommend their services to anyone”.

“I first came across Ellis Fairbank in 2003 following an immediate need to appoint an Area Sales Manager to develop our markets in Ireland. We had never used a search and selection company, but we soon realised that the vast array of services offered by Ellis Fairbank differs from the services offered by their competitors. Our initial recruitment campaign was completed successfully after a full recruitment process that included psychometric testing and referencing to ensure that we had a full understanding of the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses. This gave us the confidence that we had found the right person and as the individual is still employed by the business, we obviously had. From this initial success, we became quite heavily involved with various departments of Ellis Fairbank, across their recruitment and client services divisions. Following a business perception survey, they provided our sales managers with a bespoke training programme, they have helped with strategic acquisition decisions and IT Training and have gone on to recruit for three further positions. I have been impressed with the quality of service that we have received from various parts of the business. The recruitment consultant concluded each assignment within specified timescales and the additional services have enabled our business to re-focus its strategy towards our clients needs. As a business, Ellis Fairbank is thorough, professional and understanding of the Clients needs. I would not hesitate to recommend them”.
