Testimonials - My Manchester Jobs

This is the first time we have used the My Manchester Jobs website for our recruitment needs. From start to finish the process has been quick and efficient and without doubt fantastic value for money. On a personal note I have dealt with Mark Green and his admin team and found them to extremely helpful and professional. The whole process of placing a Job Advert onto their website was completed within a very short period of time. In addition the quality of candidates has been of a high standard and this together with the number of applicants has exceeded our expectations. In dealing with Mark we feel as if we have saved a considerable amount of time and effort in filling our vacancy and we will without hesitation use My Manchester Jobs again and again in the future!!

Julia, I would like to thank you for all of your assistance in managing my vacancies on your website. You have been professional, helpful and cheerful and a real pleasure to deal with. As you know we are a small business and need to react quickly to our client’s recruitment requirements, gathering candidates speedily; your assistance in advertising these vacancies has been very helpful. I would be pleased to recommend your website and in particular you as account manager to any of my business colleagues.

Hi Kash, Many thanks for your help once again in another campaign for Telemarketers, the campaign was very successful and resulted in 4 members of staff being recruited in less than 2 weeks! My Manchester Jobs has proved to be the single most effective method of recruitment which coupled with the excellent copy writing and professional account management service which you personally provide means you are the automatic choice for recruitment advertising. Thank you Kash!

Hi Bridget, Over the last 4 months we have received a tremendous response to our roles from the Manchester site and would definitely recommend it to anyone recruiting in the Manchester area or anywhere that My Job Group are operating sites! I have found the service friendly & helpful and at a very cost effective price. Thanks for your ongoing help.
Marie Byrne, Branch Administrator, G4S

Hi Kash, thanks for the work you have done during F Duerr & Sons latest recruitment drive. We were able to recruit a candidate who had submitted their details via My Manchester Jobs, so a result for us all. I was amazed at the number of viewings and subsequent applications during the process so as an exercise of getting an advert out to a large number of potential applicants the site has a huge advantage.
Vivanne Dineen, F Duerr & Sons

I would like to say that so far I have found the site very good and we have received a good amount of CV’s which the Club Managers at our Clubs are happy with. We have received excellent service from our Account Executive, Julia Plumb, Julia has been extremely helpful and has offered us lots of support and help with the website and has always made contact with us to ensure that everything is ok. All in all I have been very happy so far with My Job Group.

Kash, your advice holds sway again! We continue to have the results we have now come to expect from My Manchester Jobs, and coupled with your preening of our adverts and advice on how to market the vacancies, I personally am gaining a sense of satisfaction from employing your services. Thank you.
Kevin Lownds, Customer Service Manager, Byrom And Keeley Financial Services Limited

Once again a successful campaign Kash! I think the ease with which candidates can browse the site along with the marketing you have done means we are getting good quality CV’s which in turn means I spend less time trawling and more time interviewing! Thanks again.
Customer Service Manager, Byrom And Keeley Financial Services Limited

When I first met Kash Darr representing My Manchester Jobs I was curious as to what made his company different from many others.  From my experience I now know the answer in my case is him.  He simply does exactly what he says he is going to do.  Having struggled to find the quality of people I required prior to meeting Kash, having used My Manchester Jobs I am delighted that we have recruited high quality people with relative ease and will be happy to recommend My Manchester Jobs.
Mike Hopkinson, Group Sales Director, Pama & Co Ltd

Hi Kash, your help in obtaining staff for our very busy Lettings Office has been immense.You have acted in a very professional and courteous manner at all times. We are extremely pleased with the service we have received and would gladly use you again.

“As a fast growing company OCADO is always looking for alternative cost effective ways to increase the volume of people into its business. We normally advertise in the local press for quick results but My Manchester jobs has provided us with a steady flow of people throughout our first month of advertising . We will use this source again to fill up our slots on our assessment days we hold at the sites. Kindest regards and thanks for your help Bridget”
Sue Cox Recruitment manager OCADO

I have found over the course of the past 12 months that ‘My Manchester Jobs’ has completely outclassed the various other candidate attraction methods that are available to my industry in the North West. My Account Manager, Kash Darr has provided a faultless service, friendly yet professional and business like in the time that I have engaged with him. Refreshingly I have found the candidate quality and response far superior than any other form of advertising in Manchester which has assisted me in placing 4 candidates into perm positions, found via the CV database, in the final two weeks of November 2007.
I thoroughly recommend My Manchester Jobs to any recruiter in this area.
Chris Walker, AREC Senior Recruitment Consultant


Hi Kash, The account management you provide is amazing-you are always on hand for any queries and are extremely helpful-so thank you for that. Just to let you know we have just secured our 3rd placement in 5 months- very impressed!
Jane Deane, Financial Services Team Leader, Hillman Saunders Ltd

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your ongoing support throughout our My Manchester Jobs experience. We have successfully placed a number of candidates from the site and it has therefore already paid for itself. Flexible Solutionz are the chosen recruitment partner for some very big names across the Manchester region and 'mymanchesterjobs' has helped raise not only our own profile in the area, but has also helped attract some top drawer candidates. We hope to continue our success by utilising your site and of course your [Diana] exceptional 'customer service' experience. You always deliver on what you have promised. Thanks.
Paul Thomas, Director, Flexible Solutionz


Just to let you know we had a brilliant campaign...by listening to our needs and requirements, after taking your suggestions on board and with the help you gave us in writing the job description, we recruited three telemarketers within a very short period of time ..My Manchester Jobs has been very cost effective and successful compared to traditional methods of recruitment...Thank You Kash!!!
Mo Hanslod, European Sales Manager, Anthony Robbins Europe


I have found ‘mymanchesterjobs’ has not only met our recruitment needs but managed my expectations superbly. With help writing blurbs and advice on marketing the jobs we have available, coupled with a genuine energy and desire to help and provide a good level of service, it has actually made recruitment a pleasure. Rather than have reem’s of undesirable applicants we have managed to get the correct candidates for the correct roles and within a time scale and budget that has surprised me. Other usual methods of recruitment have been expensive, unfruitful and quite frankly tiresome. Thank you Kash I’ll be speaking to you soon!
Kevin Lownds, Byrom and Keeley PLC


We always use Mymanchesterjobs.co.uk and once again the response has been great and have successfully found 2 members of staff. Once again thank you for your help Diana
Georgina, Director, GL-14 The Health Clubs


Dear Kash, Thank you very much for your recent help with finding two new employees for our company. I received applications the same day the jobs were posted onto the site and managed to fill both posts within two weeks. We continued to receive so many applications to an extent that I had to get the advert removed from the website! I found the whole process stress free and the service you provided was fantastic. I look forward to using mymanchesterjobs.co.uk for any future vacancies we have.
Rebecca Hopwood, Julie Twist Properties

'Hi Bridget, am really pleased with the response we have had so far and will be looking to renew the 3 month initial agreement we have in place for both the Reed and AA branding. We have so far had two perm placements, and placed at least 12 temps from the candidates sourced so the fees involved have more than covered the cost. Kind regards, Sue'
Business Manager, Reed Employment-Stockport

My Manchester Jobs is still producing the results 2 years on. Although we get numerous calls from various job sites offering free trials "My Manchester" forwards so many high quality candidates that we are constantly busy and don't need their services. A superb site with an excellent friendly feel and staff that are second to none - keep up the good work Di.

As the the largest UK owned recruitment communications agency, at Barkers we need to be sure of spending client budget wisely whether using on or offline solutions. MyJobGroup has provided the local geographical impact across the North of England that we and our clients need. The fact that clients as diverse as O2, Sheffield Hallam University, University of Leeds and Ventura have been increasing their expenditure significantly is testament to the return on investment experienced by these clients.

Paul Smith. Employee Relations Manager. Mono Pumps Ltd.

We have been following the development of My Manchester Jobs since its inception and have recently 'given it a go' and used the site as a recruiting tool on two occasions now. We have been very pleased with the level and calibre of response from applicants - it reached the very people we were targeting and produced successful results. Site administration is so straightforward and the guidance and assistance given by Phil Garvey is excellent. We most certainly recommend this site and will be using it for our next campaign.

"We have just cancelled our contract with one of the national job boards as a direct result of the volume and calibre of candidates. My Manchester Jobs is easy to use and a superb tool which has generated high quality applications. The staff have been fantastic in supporting us and the user friendly site makes updating information simple. The statistical information is superb enabling us to outline to our team just how worthwhile this site is. The only problem caused is the unprecedented response from this cost effective recruitment tool - if anything, it is too good!!! The ideas presented by Phil Garvey (our Area Manager)are excellent and you can tell that he has experience within recruitment, because he really knows his stuff."

As a young company trying to recruit new staff we were trying all sorts of different methods of recruitment from National newspapers to National job websites. I was recommended mymanchesterjobs.co.uk and due to the excellent prices, friendly staff and the flexibility of the site we decided we had nothing to lose! Within two weeks mymanchesterjobs.co.uk was outperforming a more expensive national organisation and I have already recruited 2 candidates within the 1st month
