Communication was excellent at all levels throughout the process and we found being able to meet face-to-face as well as speak over the phone on a frequent basis enabled the Hoople team to better understand the environment we work in and the diversity of the jobs to fill.
Successful job seeker
Hoople Recruitment were able to open a door for me into gaining experience in my chosen field. They were successful in finding me a role as an agency worker, which eventually led me into securing a permanent position in a school. I found the staff to be extremely helpful when it came to any form of query. Kerry, especially, was always at the end of the phone whenever I needed her and was quick to solve any problems in a friendly yet effective manner. Thank you Hoople.
