Client Testimonials

Jo Holdsworth recruitment have worked with Fuelcard Services for over 5 years and in 2016 successfully tendered to be our primary supplier for the Leeds area.

I have been extremely impressed by the way JHR work, they pull together collaboratively as a team and break the mould when it comes to honesty, professionalism and communication. Due to this, Jo Holdsworth recruitment have become a trusted recruitment partner as opposed to simply a supplier.

CV to interview and interview to placement ratio’s via JHR are consistently better than any other agency previously used in the Leeds area and I have been happy to see retention levels so high and many of the candidates provided by JHR now our top performers.

As well as supporting our office support recruitment needs JHR recruit candidates into our sales teams, often candidates will be recruit for attitude and JHR successfully match behaviours and competencies to those needed to be a successful sales performer as well matching candidates who represent our company values.

Katie Yeoman and the JHR team have invested time and commitment in their effort to meet my often demanding recruitment needs, going above and beyond in order to ensure that they deliver.
If you are looking for an agency in Leeds who you can trust to supply high calibre volume recruitment hires who truly care about the service they deliver and never compromise on quality, I would happily recommend Katie and the team at JHR.

I have worked closely with the team at Jo Holdsworth Recruitment since moving into the role of Recruitment Manager in 2015, JHR had previously recruited for Enact for a number of years prior to this.
Katie and the JHR team provide volume permanent and temporary recruitment services, throughout our various teams and contact centre, where they supply candidates for a variety of roles throughout our business from legal assistants, sales and customer service to more senior ad hoc roles.

It is apparent throughout the recruitment process how much time is invested by Katie and the rest of the team at JHR, their collaborative team work and quality approach is clearly demonstrated in their impressive conversion rates and their ability to react quickly to the volume of hires we require.

All candidates attend their interviews having knowledge of Enact and the role they are interviewing for and understand how to approach a competency based interview, we do not have no shows with JHR and it is very rare that candidates do not accept roles when offered. I have also been particularly impressed by retention rates with candidates provided by JHR.

JHR’s interview to placement ratio, taking into account starters passing their rebate period is higher than 2:1, this quality approach with an ability to provide Enact consistently with a high number of hires per month is the reason that JHR are my trusted agency of choice and I continue to be extremely impressed by the service and care they take over every candidate they submit.

If you are looking for a Leeds local specialist who can deliver on their promise to provide high volume quality recruitment, ensuring valuable business time invested, is met with a successful result, I couldn’t recommend anyone higher.

Jennifer is very pro-active, she has an in-depth understanding of our company and the roles we recruit for and therefore sources a really high calibre of candidate for us. Jennifer is a pleasure to work with and always works really hard on our behalf to ensure she delivers, when we have an urgent recruitment campaign she gives this her full attention, to the point where now for a couple of areas in the business JHR are our first choice as a supplier.
