"Kelso Jones was the only agency in my experience to not only listen, but also to provide really useful career advice. It is extremely nerve – wracking trying to find the 'perfect job', but they were really reassuring from the moment I walked through the door. I now work for a fantastic company, in a job that is both creative and rewarding."
Victoria - Product Manager
"After being made redundant from my first graphic design job, and with no luck finding a new one, I was seriously considering a different career path. However, Corinne did not try to push me into a job I did not want to do, unlike other agencies. Instead they really listened to what I wanted from my career and offered encouragement and advice. Despite only a year's experience and lack of personal transport they found me a great job and restored my confidence as a graphic designer. When the time comes for me to make the next step in my career I will definitely get in touch with Kelso Jones again."
Jenny - Designer
"The team at Kelso Jones have helped me on numerous occasions in finding work, not only in permanent design positions, but freelance as well. Their willingness to work flat out on your behalf to find great job opportunities is just one of the reasons I would not hesitate to use them again."
Matt - Designer
"I was looking to progress my career and was recommended to Kelso Jones via a colleague who could only sing their praises. Not only were all staff friendly and welcoming I was actually treated as a person and not another statistic to get through the door. My requirements were listened to and only suitable positions were suggested to me. I went to one interview got the job and a year later I am still extremely happy with where I am. I as well can only sing the praises of Kelso Jones, they are certainly worth speaking to."
Catherine - Account Manager
"I found the help and support given by Kelso Jones was unlike that from any other recruitment agency. Their genuine commitment and consideration for their candidates was a reassuring change from my previous experiences. They listened to my concerns and only suggested roles for me which fulfilled my personal criteria. I am now in, what I consider to be, my ideal job and this would not have been possible without the help of Kelso Jones. I would highly recommend them!"
Penny - Designer
"Genuine, honest and reliable are the words I would use to describe Kelso Jones - they took the time and patience to get to know you as an individual and your requirements for a new step in your career - moving jobs can be quite daunting but their expertise and advice allowed me to make informed decisions over opportunities and companies who would be best suited to my wishes."
Suzanne - Project Manager
"At last! A recruitment company that really can deliver.
Working with Kelso Jones to find my perfect role has really been an exciting journey rather than an arduous task. Whilst other companies pursue the 'numbers' game, the team at Kelso Jones really take the time to get to know you and understand what you're looking for.
I had a tough brief for them and other companies kept telling me I'd have to compromise but KJ found my elusive perfect role.
Hopefully the next time we work together I will be recruiting and Kelso Jones will be the first place I'll come looking!"
Louise - CSD
"I returned from travelling in need of a job and quickly. Kelso Jones were highly recommended to me by a friend and former colleague. By the time I had returned home from my initial interview they had rang me back with 2 job opportunities. I was very impressed. They were constantly in touch with me and I don't think I had a gap of more than a couple of days before they found me some more work. I now have a full time position which I'm very pleased with. Their service could not have been better."
Andy - Web Designer
"Having lived and worked in Marketing within the Nottingham area since 1997, Corinne and her team have always been my first point of contact when looking to develop my career. Kelso Jones have understood my career needs and know me as person. They always look to make sure you and any potential employer will be happy. I'm always happy to recommend Corinne and Kelso Jones to both friends and employers. You know you will always get the best attention and service."
Alison - Account Manager
"I initially felt that I was simply going through the motions registering with yet another agency with the promise of 'that position' or the claim that they could 'make the difference' concerning my next career move - because they approach things differently!"
Within one week of my registering with Kelso Jones they had found a career fit with a dynamic, high profile design and marketing agency in Nottingham. Within a further two weeks and after two interviews I had secured the position. Kelso Jones are different! Their unique approach, complete transparency and attention to detail have restored my confidence in the sector and would recommend them to anyone who has suffered similar agency headaches in the past!"
Justin - Account Director
"Kelso Jones are unrivalled in the East Midlands. Along with her extensive industry knowledge, Corinne always finds the time to really get to know the applicants and clients alike. Always friendly, approachable and very reassuring, they really take the stress out of jobhunting! I can't recommend them highly enough."
