I was contacted by ESP regarding a potential contract, and from the first phone call over a year ago, to our continued communications they have always been courteous, professional and informative. Nick who is one of the Senior Consultants was especially helpful when organising my CV, paperwork and interviews before I started. He has also negotiated a number of extensions to my contract including a pay rise on my latest renewal.
Will, Marysia, Lewis and the whole team have also been very helpful when dealing with any queries I have had and they always go out of their way to ensure that I am always paid on time.
I would definitely recommend ESP to any contractors as they go the extra mile to make sure everything is in place, before and during the time you work for them.

Nick has been amazing and has supported me whilst I was looking for my next career move. He was always available if i had any questions or queries and went above and beyond when I was going through the hiring process with my new role. Nothing was ever too much trouble and I would not be in this role I am in today without his persistence and expertise.

Will has done me proud whenever I’ve needed him over the years and I have recommended ESP to many friends and colleagues, whether they were hiring or looking to be hired. He clearly puts effort into matching people and roles, rather than just shoe-horning unsuitable people in.

ESP’s thorough and professional approach to recruitment is a refreshing change, compared to other agencies who send unqualified candidates that do not meet our requirements. The standard and consistency is always good and, linked with the level of communication and understanding of our particular requirements, is most welcome.
