I have known William for many years. He was my first call when I began looking for a new job and matched me up with a great employer within a few weeks. He stayed in touch throughout the recruitment process and followed up after I began my new job to see how I was settling in. If you work in this area of education and are looking to recruit or move on from your current job this is the place to start.

I am delighted with the service that ESP has provided, in particular Nick Sion, who has worked hard to secure me a position at a brilliant school in London. He has kept in touch with me at all stages of the recruitment process and has been extremely helpful to me.
iSAMS Reporting Manager
Justin, iSAMS Reporting Manager
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 several 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 paid on time. I would recommend ESP to contractors as they go the extra mile to make sure everything is in place, before and during the time you work for them.

Mark, IT Contractor
Nick has been amazing and has supported me while 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 for my new role. Nothing was ever too much trouble and I would not be in the role I am in today without his persistence and expertise.

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