"I have been using The Oyster Partnership for just over a year now in order to recruit for various roles within the housing sector.

From a business perspective, all the consultants have a professional yet friendly nature, ensuring that they get to know the company (and the people) that they are recruiting for, helping them to provide the most appropriate candidates for each role. The candidates that are put forward for each role are met by the consultants and vetted allowing the client to only interview from those that are best suited for the position, thus minimising the amount of CV's that are sent through and the interviews carried out.

They have been able to supply quality candidates for various roles such as Quantity Surveyors, Building Surveyors, TMO Surveyors, Resident Communication Officers and Technical Support Staff.

The Oyster Partnership have taken on new systems and incentives for the candidates and the companies that they have working for them. These include: -

- the on-line timesheet submission and approval system that is quick, convenient and, best of all, paperwork free! As we have staff based out on-site it makes everyone's lives so much easier being able to just log onto the internet to complete timesheets. The approval of the timesheets is immediately sent through to the accounts department at The Oyster Partnership, which ensures that all candidates are paid on time.

- the Oyster World scheme which shows that the company does value the people that they have on their books."

Adding to this, the consultants of each candidate also go that extra mile by making 'extra care' phone calls at the end of each week to ensure that the candidate is happy as well as continual contact with the client to obtain feedback on the performance of the candidates.

Having dealt with various new and long-standing recruitment companies in the past, i.e. Hays, I wouldn't hesitate to recomment The Oyster Partnership above all of these due to the dedication of the consultants and the 5 star service that you recieve."
