From the interview arrangements to starting in the role Amir has ensured all information has been shared, has been in regular contact and followed up at the end of my first day. He really is a supportive and effective recruiter and I value his support.
Alicia articulated the job very succinctly. She was very friendly which put me at ease straight away and explained the next stages of the interview process.
It's rare for consultants to be so attentive and detailed in their approach with candidates. I'm pleased to have struck up a really good working relationship with Alicia. I have recommended her to colleagues & friends and will continue to do so. An asset to Park Avenue.

Having worked in the interim consultancy sector for a number of years, I have consistently found Park Avenue to be the 'cream of the crop' of recruiters. Their professionalism, efficiency and ability to source high quality contracts are outstanding. I am consistently put forward for the best roles in the industry - highly recommended.
Ben at Park Avenue has always delivered over and above the usual service. As a candidate I have been kept well informed, updated regularly and what is rare is that the guys actually keep in touch throughout your work contract to ensure things are going well. They've been an enormous help with understanding how the umbrella company works too.
Billy is a highly professional and personable agent who I can highly recommend in assisting with recruitment needs. Working with Billy I have been able to source and recruit to some major and urgent roles within Development Management.
Billy made sure I was always kept in the loop regarding progress with the role and has been really helpful in getting set up in my first contracting role. He has been available whenever I have had queries and has made the whole process very straightforward.

Liam is always helpful in relation to the questions I have in relation to the role(s) I am going for. Liam is courteous and responds quickly to emails and phone calls. Liam comes across as the consummate professional and I really cannot fault him!
Liam South was proactive in contacting me, remembering I had contacted him previously about a specific candidate. I also appreciated him then contacting me first when the contractor became available again. He is respectful not to chase me when he knows I haven't got a post available, or call up to make 'small talk' or give unsuitable CVs. He is professional, responsive and easy to communicate with, which means I can work with him confidently to navigate the current process challenges my organisation is having, and provide greater job security to my contractor.
Liam has been my Recruitment Consultant for the past year and I have been extremely pleased with the personable approach, attention to the smallest detail and high standard of service. He is very professional, and trustworthy. Liam responds quickly to queries, provides clear feedback and understands the role and person spec very well. I would highly recommend Liam to other Planning Professionals and have (with his agreement), passed his details on to some Contractor colleagues.

Shannon is always very friendly. She communicates very well in an open and honest manner. Quite a rarity amongst recruitment agencies!
Shannon O'Sullivan has been a delight to work with and has been really great in sorting out any issues that have arisen during the contract job. Miss Shannon is one of the best agents I have worked with, especially over the 19 year period I have been a Planning Contractor.
I feel that Shannon understands what I am looking for and keeps me informed, is always pleasant and makes me feel that I am not just a faceless person as many other recruiters do. I would highly recommend her.
Shivani is brilliant and provides a personalised touch when recruiting for roles. She always returns my call and actions any request I have. Shivani is one of the best recruiters in the industry and very well equipped.
