Would give more stars if it would let me. Staff are fantastic, polite, and treat everyone with respect so can’t knock them. They’re efficient too, I signed on with them and was working within a few weeks. The jobs are there, you just have to be willing to work. Overall, I had a great experience with Central Employment and would recommend them to anybody, keep up the good work. Kudos to Ola, she was amazing and friendly.

Molly took over managing our account with Central Employment in early 2023, and since then, she has built a fantastic working relationship with both myself and the team. From the beginning, she took the time to understand our business, operation, and culture, ensuring that any staff she provided were not only capable but a perfect fit for our team.

Molly’s proactive approach includes regular site visits, and her efforts go beyond simply filling positions. She works closely with us to help prepare new staff to join our business, ensuring they’re well-suited and ready to contribute from day one. The staff she provides have gone on to develop and progress into new roles within the business, including someone who quickly transitioned into a supervisory role, which has been invaluable for us.

Her dedication and attention to detail have made a real difference, and we know we can always rely on Molly and Central Employment to meet our staffing needs, even at short notice. I highly recommend their services and look forward to continuing our partnership.

I Love Wallpaper

I had the pleasure of working with Greg during my recent job search, and I can’t speak highly enough of his expertise and dedication. From the moment we connected, Greg took the time to understand my skills, experience, and career aspirations. He didn’t just find me a job—he found me the perfect role that aligns with my professional background and personal expectations.

Greg is not just an agent; he’s a career partner who genuinely cares about matching the right candidate with the right opportunity. His deep industry knowledge, proactive communication, and unwavering support throughout the process made a world of difference. Thanks to Greg, I am now in a role that I love, with a company that truly values my contributions.

If you’re looking for a recruiter who will go above and beyond to help you achieve your career goals, I highly recommend Greg.

“Having been in Italy for the last 4 years, I was searching for a new job opportunity in the North East of England. I’ve been connected with Greg on Linkedin for a while so I decided to reach out. Within a few hours of messaging him, we already had a video call booked in to discuss opportunities and one particular job role he thought could interest me.

On this call he pitched the job excellently, spoke extremely well and listened to my expectations. A first stage interview was swiftly booked in the next morning.

After the first stage interview went well, the next stage was booked in the following week. Greg offered me good advice, clearly had a good relationship with the company’s hiring team and was swift in his responses.

After successfully completing the next stage of the interview, I was offered a job on the same evening. Within a week of contacting Greg I had received and accepted a brilliant job offer from an exciting company. Not only this, the job role was exactly as I had wished.

I couldn’t recommend Greg’s service highly enough”
