“I have really enjoyed working with Ashdown, I really feel they are a cut above the rest in terms of how they treat their candidates and clients and their personal touch which makes you feel less less like a number and more like a valued individual.”

“I have been so impressed with Sheryl. Right from the outset she stood out because it was clear she had taken time to read and understand my CV, and then engaged with me by phone to learn more, proving the value of a real person with experience versus a Bot! Sheryl has a friendly and professional style, which oozes calmness and experience. I would recommend Sheryl to everyone.”

“Amazing experience working together with the Ashdown Group. As a candidate, the Talent Consultant handling the particular role I was interested in - was helpful, insightful, professional and communicative at every stage of the company's interview process. It was an open, friendly, timely, informative and transparent partnership; which in turn made the entire experience enjoyable irrespective of the outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend the Ashdown Group and would welcome the opportunity to work/collaborate again with them in the future (both as a client and a candidate)!”

“Charlie is a great ambassador for they Ashdown Group. She was extremely supportive and quick to come back with clients feedback. So many agencies enthusiasm fades away after an interview leaving candidates wondering about the result. Charlie was extremely professional in coming back to me and even though I was not successful it was not for lack of support from Charlie.”

“VERY HAPPY about how Amy handled my application and how she secured a new position for me. I do not think that it is possible to improve the service I received. I felt that her service was above and beyond I have ever seen before and I thank her for all the work she did for me in securing a job I really wanted. She may have changed my life for the better for years to come.”

“I initially had a very brief phone call with Amy about the role after which I received an e-mail. The process initially was to be two stages of interviews for the IT Techication III role. Upon completing the second stage of the interview Amy advised that I would receive feedback on Friday. When Friday came I was told that there was a third interview with the manager on the following Monday (contradicting the original e-mail) and that I would be given a decision the same afternoon. At the end of Monday's interview with the manager, he stated that the HR lady was away that day but that I would receive a call the following morning. I heard nothing back that day and just got a brief email from Amy saying that she "had an offer but was driving so will call back tomorrow", without stating what the offer was. I was extremely frustrated at this point and had soured on the job, The company seemed very incompetent and disrespectful and I decided to withdraw. Amy phoned me the following morning stating that she had just incorrectly conveyed the information the company had given her so I decided to take the offer. I then cancelled the other interviews I had upcoming and let the other agencies know I was no longer looking for work. The contract took a while to come through and when it did the job title had changed from "IT Technician III" to "IT Technician", from what I was told at the interview these stages confer what level of access you get. Neither of my previous IT roles had this type of set-up, instead essentially have access to everything the service desk needed from the start.; Therefore it would have been a huge step down in my career so I decided to pursue a role more suited to my skills and experience. I have been in the job market now for over a decade, and most roles I have had I have got through agencies, and I have never had an experience as dishonest and/or incompetent. The ending result is that a lot of time and energy was wasted by myself, the company and Ashdown's. Shockingly, after informing Amy I had accepted a different offer and was not proceeding with the role, she asked why suggesting it was "the money". I was too flabbergasted to even respond - after all the reservations about the job title and the general conduct of the company, and never mentioning "the money", she still could not understand why I was not comfortable proceeding with the role. The role I did end up taking was the same salary, but I chose it over this role as the roles and responsibilities in the roles were ones that would build on my existing skills and experiences, rather than ignoring them.”

“After a long 3 months of a job search that felt eternal, I was contacted by Will at Ashdown Group on a role nearly tailored to my CV (as opposed to the other way around). The recruitment interactions throughout the whole cycle via Will at AD have demonstrated professionalism, knowledge and caring for both the candidate and the client. It has been redeeming of previous recruiter experiences. While they have found me an ideal place to be in today, I trust I will reach out to Will again if I ever again find myself in a change of circumstances.”
