Hear what people have to say

It’s important that we are creating a positive experience for both employers and candidates, and we love to get feedback. Hear what clients and candidates have to say:

“I would highly recommend Lotus Talent. We had a very specific Sales requirement we were recruiting for and Kelly spent time with us to get a full understanding of our requirements and was very helpful in creating the job description. As a result, the quality of candidates were significantly more suitable for the role, compared with candidates put forward by other recruiters working on the same role. We were able to choose from several quality candidates to fill the position.”

Kelly is a consummate professional (which is shown by how she consistently has positive feedback from both candidates and those recruiting), really easy to work with, thorough, and tenacious on her customer’s behalf. We will certainly be using Lotus Talent for recruiting other roles in the future.

Austen Napthine – Project Lead – Engineering and Manufacturing Client

“We had a really good experience working with Kelly to fill a sales role. She was collaborative, thoughtful, and really listened to our feedback throughout the process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, she adapted the search based on what we needed and put in the effort to speak with a wide range of candidates. What stood out most was how easy she was to work with—professional, responsive, and never overly salesy. Several of the candidates told us how positive their experience with her had been, which says a lot. We will definitely be working with her in the future.”

Jacob Napthine – Managing Director – Engineering and Manufacturing Client

“Kelly helped us bag a great candidate for a sales role. She was great to work with as she went above and beyond with the array of candidates that she offered up and speaking to the candidate we selected she was great at keeping him up to date with what was going on and when tasks needed to happen. We were moving fast on this and Kelly could definitely keep up. What can I say smooth process and a great result, the proof is on the pudding and it was a very good one! Thank you Kelly!”

Stephen Morgan – Managing Director – Media and Events Client

“Kelly and I worked together throughout my time at William Reed Business Media. Kelly supported us with hiring staff in the media sales space and was extremely successful. Kelly always took the time to understand the role, the hiring manager and the nuances required. Kelly provides advice and guidance throughout the process and clearly understands the market and the challenges. A human approach is central to Kelly’s approach as a recruitment professional. She digs into a candidate’s true motivation for a role and translates this into successful placements.”

Helen Murdoch – Recruitment Manager – Ex William Reed Business Media – Client

“Kelly assisted me in securing a new position in Newcastle following a relocation from Yorkshire to the North-East. It has been a very easy, straightforward process working with Kelly in what can be a stressful time changing employment and she has always been contactable, knowledgeable and approachable during the recruitment process. Kelly took the time to understand my requirements as a candidate and communicated well to make it happen. I want to express my sincere thanks to Kelly for her support in helping me secure my new job position and look forward to the next stage of my career. Your expertise and guidance throughout the recruitment process were instrumental and I am grateful for the positive experience of working with you.”

Laura C – Candidate

“Kelly did a fantastic job in placing me in my new company and was attentive and contactable all the way through the process. She ensured I had as much information as possible about the role prior to submitting my application rather than progressing on a speculative basis as is sometimes the case with other recruiters. I had a great experience working with Kelly and would definitely recommend.”

Tom D – Candidate

“Kelly is a very proactive recruiter. She works closely with us to ensure we are looking at the best candidates that suit the business and her communication is always professional, prompt and efficient. It is a pleasure working with Kelly to find talent for our company ”

Linda Douglas – Talent Acquisition – Consultancy – Client

“Kelly matched my CV and experience with a job in an area I hadn’t previously looked at, and in doing so found me an amazing role with a company in which I can grow and achieve my ultimate goals. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a new role.”

Andrew H – Candidate

“I found Kelly to be extremely helpful, and thoroughly professional, she always kept me in touch with what was going on. Her feedback was well considered and intelligent, more importantly she was totally honest and transparent in all communication. Moreover, she was one of few recruiters that I have spoken to who actually seemed to take a genuine interest in what I wanted.”

Herbert N – Candidate

“Kelly has been absolutely amazing over the last few weeks! In a short amount of time she has picked up exactly what I was looking for and managed to get me through the door and into a job role that is perfectly suited for myself. It has made a stressful time of moving jobs and made it super simple and stress free. I really can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

Alex S – Candidate

“Having recently secured a position through Kelly, I would strongly recommend her services as a professional recruitment consultant with a particular skill in linking the CV / candidate profile to the prospective employer and job requirements. Kelly was easy to contact and always promptly returned answers to any queries with a good follow up service. She also proved to be honest in her communication about the full requirements of the role and the employer, thereby leaving no surprises. I was thoroughly briefed about the role and company which allowed me to prepare effectively for the interview. Thoroughly recommended!”

Andrew C – Candidate

“We have recruited 17 new members of staff in the last 6 months to meet the growing demand for our services, Kelly has placed over a third, far more than any other agent we use. Kelly took the time to understand the variety of roles we were looking to fill, to the extent we had very few CVs which failed to meet our requirements. She not only understood our work but our company, its culture, diversity and ambitions. This was apparent when we interviewed. Recruiting is expensive but more so if we get it wrong, it helps massively if the agent such as Kelly makes sure the candidate is the right fit for us and not another cab off the rank.”

Peter A – Managing Director – Consultancy – Client

“Kelly provided excellent support throughout the interview process and beyond.”

Niall D – Candidate

Rick N – Candidate
