Client Testimonials

Mel Jones – HR Manager – Gyro

"I have worked with Better Placed for over a year now and consistently go back to them with my recruitment needs. Unlike the majority of recruitment agencies; Better Placed take the time to understand your vacancy, the reason for the position becoming available, and all of the other important factors – rather than just the payment terms!"

James Barley – Head of Digital – TBWA

"I would happily and highly recommend Better Placed, both from a client and candidate's perspective. They understands digital, is non-pushy and realises the time pressures you have in the 'day-to-day' and always fits around that in a personable and patient way."

Helen Marks – Recruitment Manager – TBWA

“Having worked with Better Placed for a number of years now I cannot recommend them highly enough. Unlike a lot of recruiters, they are approachable, friendly and are quick to understand the specific requirements from a brief”

John Saxon - CSD - Momentum WW

“Dan has justifiably maintained Better Placed place on our Recruitment partner roster over the past few years simply because they have taken the time to understand our business and identify the qualities we look for from our account management staff. The calibre and variety of candidates we see from Better Placed always provides a rich pool of talent for consideration”

Nik Entwistle - Managing Director - Turn Key

"I have worked with Better Placed on a number of occasions, I have always found Dean to be highly professional, personable and someone who understands not only our business, but the industry as a whole . He takes time to understand what we are looking for and will only put those candidates forward he feels will be a true fit for the business. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dean and his team"

Peter Gamble – Strategy Director – Savvy.

The best attribute of Better Placed is integrity – they are discreet, do what they say they will and keep you informed. They always have a clear brief, understand the less tangible stuff like culture and personality and, above all, are always honest. Dean has a great network and knows how to make the best use of it.

Simon Jones – Head of Online – Intermarketing

“Having worked with Dean and Dan at Better Placed for a number of years recruiting for marketing positions, I can highly recommend them as professional recruiters. With a no-nonsense approach and an excellent understanding of the industry, they possess those qualities often lacking in the recruitment industry”
