Company Details

WOW, I've just secured my first assignment with Business Smart Solutions. I can't praise Team BSS enough. Their response from initial contact to securing an assignment is lightening fast. The turnaround time on necessary paperwork is excellent , with all support if required. The whole team is easily accessible and show a genuine desire to match you with the correct role as your skill base. Their website is up to date , so if a vacancy is advertised, you know the post is available. Their knowledge and contacts within the sector are extensive, which all adds to the positive experience. I would definitely recommend Business Smart Solutions

Ben alongside Julia were great from day one. An absolute must for all who are wanting to get back into work or looking for a 10/10 recruitment agency. I had a career break and was very nervous getting back into full time work whilst managing my young family. They found me my perfect fit. Thoughtful and highly knowledgeable and available whenever needed. Would not hesitate to recommend and use again!

I attended a two day training course on HB subsidy, specifically to complete the workbooks. The training was tailored to our needs and I certainly learnt a lot. The trainer was very experienced in this very complex area, would highly recommend

Got out of my comfort zone with the usual agencies that I've worked with for over 10 years. I found this company to be genuine,trusting, not pushy and most of all kept there word to find me work. I will definitely use them again and I will recommend them to other staff.

BSS provided my local authority with Subsidy Workbook training and I have to say the training was brilliant. It covered everything that we needed it to and more. Zoe was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Ben was very accommodating with arranging the session. Would highly recommend.

I signed up with BSS in the Summer on a part time basis and the whole experience so far has been brilliant. Ben and Mark have been incredibly helpful from supplying a laptop, getting set up, answering questions and most importantly providing such a caring and understanding approach. Ben has always been so open and honest and very easy to communicate with. The little things that BSS do to reward their staff is very much appreciated. I cannot recommend BSS enough and I would now consider working for BSS on a full time basis.

Excellent service. Reliable, supportive & knowledgeable. An organisation that exceeds expectations & delivers on promises.

I have nothing but praise for BSS. I was a bit wary about going into contracting but 10 months into working with BSS i really wish i had done it years ago. I've dealt with Julia and Ben mostly who have always been brilliant in getting back to me over any query but i've hardly had to contact them because the whole process has been so flawless.

Best decision I’ve made in years was join BSS. Ben has been fantastic at every stage during the past 10 months, and is already putting me forward for more senior roles where I had struggled to do so in permanent roles for the past few years. Very personal approach from day one, reassuring and highly knowledgeable! Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to progress their career or just looking for a change!

The best temp recruitment agency out there! However, as well as recruitment, Ben and the team also offer training, consultancy and answers to your business problems. The clue is in the name - Business Smart Solutions! As both a contractor and a commissioning manager, BSS is the first port of call for all my business requirements and long may it continue.

I started working with #teamBSS in July 22 leaving a permenat role of 18 years. What sets BSS apart from other agencies is their unwavering commitment to their candidates. They go above and beyond ! Their personalised approach ensures that you are not just another number in their database, but a valued individual they provide a monthly perks service - Christmas goodies - they host meals so contractors can meet up & they treat me like a Queen ! Ben, Mark and Julia truly understood the challenges and opportunities that I faced when transitioning from full-time employment to contracting. They provided me with honest invaluable guidance and support throughout the entire process, making the transition seamless and stress-free. Their expertise in negotiating contracts and securing competitive pay packages is second to none and they know the Revenues and Benefits Sector inside out ! They actively seek out career development opportunities, ensuring that you continue to grow . I have have had some fantastic contracts so far and added lots more strings to my bow in such short time. To anyone considering Local Authority contracting-- Do not throw away your shot !!! Give them a call.

Gained a contract within weeks of registering, at a great rate. Great communication and from Ben and the team. Really happy with the service provided after a few weeks in the role

BSS has provided us with excellent support since 2022. The range of expertise they have on their books is second to none, and they are without doubt my first choice when looking for staff. What I particularly like is how well they support everyone, and they really look after their people, which is unlike any other agency I have worked with in 30 years. Congratulations to Ben and the team !

Business Smart Solutions have provided an excellent service. The whole process from sourcing temporary staff, set up administration, invoicing and the quality of the staff provided, has been 1st Class. Well done Ben Moreton. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for Revenues or Benefits staff for any length of assignment.

Only worked for BSS for a short time, but would highly recommend, great people who genuinely care about the services they provide

I have worked for BSS for over a year now and I can honestly say they are the best company I've worked for. Not only are they really quick at resolving problems and queries, but they are really compassionate and caring people who actually care about the people they work with. I would recommend BSS to anyone looking to contract.

BSS have provided offsite resources to ensure my authority maintains top quartile DWP measured performance. I have used other offsite third party support and they did not come close to matching the professionalism and accuracy of BSS provided contractors

The two key factors that set BSS apart is, firstly, they know their market and have direct experience working within the sector. So many other recruiters specialise in recruitment but they don't understand revs or bens which causes problems with staff and councils. Secondly they actually look after their staff! Prior to joining BSS I had the misfortune of getting ripped off by another agency who took a 50% cut of my rate. BSS were transparent from the start and have helped me develop my career. I cannot speak highly enough of Ben and his team and they truly deserve all their recent success. Long may it continue and I can safely say I'll be along for the ride.

Taking the leap from almost 20 years in a permanent job to being a 'temp' was scary but I couldn't have wished for a better company to guide me through it. Ben found me a contract almost straight away and I was kept informed of progress at every stage of the process. Ben, Mark and co have been wonderful - very professional, efficient and I feel that my interests are looked after. I would highly recommend Business Smart Solutions to anyone!

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Business Smart Solutions (BSS) Employment Agency, as a serial revenues contractor who has worked with various agencies in the past. Without a doubt, BSS stands out as the pinnacle of recruitment services, surpassing all others I have encountered. When I found myself unexpectedly given notice on a contract recently, I immediately reached out to BSS. To my amazement, by Monday, just three days later, they had not only arranged an interview for me but also helped me secure a new position. The efficiency and speed at which BSS operates are truly remarkable, setting them apart from other agencies. Their dedication to providing first-class recruitment services is evident in the seamless and swift process they facilitated. One aspect that particularly impressed me was BSS's commitment to transparency in rates. They were upfront and open about the financial aspects of the employment process, ensuring that I had a clear understanding of the terms and conditions. This transparency fosters trust and allows contractors like myself to focus on the job at hand without any unnecessary financial concerns. BSS's straightforward and honest approach to rates is a testament to their professionalism. Moreover, BSS goes above and beyond in terms of employee benefits. One notable perk is the monthly perkbox points they provide. These points not only incentivize and reward their contractors but also demonstrate BSS's genuine appreciation for the individuals they work with. It is these small gestures that contribute to a positive working relationship and make BSS stand out among other employment agencies. In addition to their exceptional recruitment services and employee benefits, BSS also provides unique opportunities for contractors. I had the privilege of assisting them at national conferences, which not only enhanced my professional network but also allowed me to contribute to the industry in a meaningful way. BSS's dedication to fostering collaboration and professional growth is evident through such opportunities, which sets them apart from other agencies solely focused on placing candidates. In conclusion, Business Smart Solutions is a remarkable organisation that delivers exceptional recruitment services. Their swift and efficient approach, coupled with their commitment to transparency in rates, ensures a seamless experience for contractors. The inclusion of perkbox points as employee benefits adds an extra touch of appreciation, while the opportunity to assist at national conferences demonstrates their commitment to professional development. BSS has undoubtedly raised the bar for employment agencies, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch recruitment assistance.
