Many thanks for the excellent calibre of candidates, as usual from SimkissGuy!
Good evening,
I’ve just got back from work and what a cracking first day! I felt very welcomed, everyone was thorough with me explaining where things are and no question was a silly one to ask. Everyone from all departments answered questions I threw at them. Literally every single person was so nice and welcoming. I’m so looking forward to getting stuck it and going back tomorrow!
On another note, what a lovely surprise to have received the brownies from you. Total shock and very much welcomed. And such a kind reassuring gesture from yourselves.
Honestly I cannot thank you enough for prepping me, and helping me get this job. My thanks seems nothing to how I feel.
But once again, thank you
SimkissGuy Recruitment have placed all of my staff over the past 10 years, need I say anymore about the quality they provide! I also use SimkissGuy for all of our temporary cover when I need it too.
Each person is well qualified before you meet with them and the process is seamless, so pleased that they are a nominated supplier.
Can’t recommend them enough to you!
Hi Becky,
Thank you so much for your email.
I have spent the time to read through all of the documents and I will make sure I am prepared for the initial telephone call tomorrow.
I also would like to thank you and Helena for supporting me through this process.
Kind regards,
Hi Rebecca
I’m very appreciative for the work and support you and Helena have provided throughout this process whilst I’ve been looking for a new role.
Really looking forward to joining the team!
Best regards,
Hi Helena and Rebecca,
I hope you are both doing well and have had a lovely week?
I had to reach out to thank you so much for the brownies. They were very lovely and they have helped with the first week whilst I get to meet new colleagues!
Many thanks once again!
