Excellent support by Julie Marshall and Robyn Wilson. They were very timely and helpful throughout my recruitment. Each and every step of my recruitment was clear and they were on time in gathering and passing the information. They were really patient and understanding.
This company played the role of a Job Agent. The assigned staff member was a cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable & target driven young lady. She had done her job from the first call till I get the job. The first job opportunity was never successful, but she searched similar options & after discussing with me, followed up till the end & sometimes she has taken extra steps by linking both parties & solving mis-understandings .....etc.. This company has recruited right staff, trained them & facilitated them to do their job confidently. I recommend them High.
My agent was very helpful throughout the whole interview process and after I got hired.
My experience from start to finish was very professional and Oliver was always keeping in touch with updates. I am very appreciative of his help with securing me my new position. I was approached by phone call and email by Oliver and within 3 weeks I had received an interview offer following his help with an application. After being offered the role, Oliver continued to provide me with updated and enquire about how I was getting on which was nice to see.
Good communication and assistance throughout the recruitment process. Many thanks!
One of the recruitment consultants has recently helped me in finding a permanent role, and it was a great experience all around. They supported me along the way, checking in regularly and arranging everything, taking care of communications between myself and the company/HR; throughout the process maintaining a high standard of service, considerate and helpful. If there was something i was ambiguous or nervous about, such as qualifications, references or travel arrangements, would put worries to rest and provide helpful advice. I'm sure there are other great agencies out there, but this is the first one that actually helped me secure a job with no issues, no ghosting/ignored messages, no time wasted, just good service. Pros -genuinely considerate, caring attitude -handling all communications with HR, explaining delays or issues -trust and understanding Cons -hard to think of anything, maybe the automated texting/response service could be better
Russell Oakley has been very supportive and prompt in proceeding with the application process and has been very helpful.

Very supportive through the process.
Very happy for Their service.
Oliver Parry got in touch with me after I'd applied for a different position (Analytical Chemist). He phoned and advised that he may have a position better suited to my experience and career level and put me forward for the position. He was absolutely wonderful throughout. Supportive and attentive. He was focused on obtaining the best outcome at each stage of the application process and in securing me the best deal in terms of salary and other benefits. I am very happy and so very grateful for all his help. I cannot sing his praises high enough! Following each stage of the application process he was in regular contact and was quick at providing me with feedback he had gained from the employer.
I was supported and could reach out at any time with any question I had. My experience with the CK Group has been the best so far in my career.
The process was seamless and efficient. communication was clear and the recruiters were quick to address any concerns.
Heather Deagle is an incredible recruiter that truly cares for her clients and wants the absolute best for you. I found Heather to be a warm-hearted person that is a pleasure to work with. After being out of the pharmaceutical industry for 6 years I was struggling to get back into the industry. Heather was very encouraging, telling me not to give up and keeping a constant eye out for positions she thought would be perfect for me. At one point we hadn’t spoken for months and she remembered me when the perfect position came up. And true to her word it was a perfect position with a great offer in a role that exceeded my expectations. The company I secured an offer from has a very intensive screening process and their compliance guru Rebecca Skelton was extremely helpful and went out of her way to assist me and get me through it. Rebecca went above and beyond to get all the evidence required. She made me a priority. Rebecca's patience and hard work got me through the screening to secure my final contract. I highly recommend Heather and the CK Group as they will fight to get the best position they can for you. Heather and her colleagues genuinely care! If I ever need help searching for a new position without a doubt Heather will be the first person I call.
Good service and attentiveness from start to finish. Helpful tips around the interview process. Satisfied with all aspects.
Great support from recruitment agent Lucy all throughout the recruitment process and successfully landed a good job opportunity
Karen was quite nice and helpful. Always ready to answer any questions and clear doubts.
I had a great experience. The consultants were polite, understanding and cooperative. Their coordination with me is commendable. Mainly, guidance is really helpful. Satisfactory service.
CK Group placed us two fantastic candidates even with a very unique brief, quickly and seamlessly. Their level of customer service far surpasses most other suppliers we deal with on a day to day basis.
I think that this agency in all honesty should be a bit more sensitive to the needs of those who are looking for employment. So just a little backstory to give context to what I am about to say, I first received contact from CK Group on the 22nd of July. At this stage, I was in my final year and on the verge of finishing my studies with my Higher education provider Harper Adams University- where I was studying Bio-Veterinary Science. Unfortunately for myself I caught COVID-19 just at the stage where I should have been sitting my first examinations (around May). The consequences of this were that I had only sat my final examinations around the 31st of August owing to deferment being the only option I had on the table in terms of giving myself more breathing space for the exams that were coming up. Perhaps understandably, this caused some friction between the workplace that I was contracted to work for, and the agency itself-- especially when they asked to see 'proof' of my degree qualifications which I felt was rather unnecessary given that the date of my graduation was only the 23rd of September of this year and that my agreed start to work was only the 17th of October. However, I am understanding that this was an important selling point in terms of my CV-- it's just a shame that myself and CK Group have parted ways on such a sour note-- especially given that I am part of the neurodivergent community (with both ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome) and could have done with all the extra support that comes with settling yourself into the business your contracted to work with. It is after all, quite a jump to go from learning for the best part of four years, and feel as though I could've been better supported to integrate myself into the workplace.
