Candidate Testimonials

Looking for an opening when I found myself between jobs was stressful at times and can bring your self esteem into question. However, my dealings with my consultant from Jonas Consulting boosted my confidence immensely. Why? Because I was treated with respect and was made to feel valued. They took the trouble to travel to meet with me in person at short notice whilst I was in London for another meeting to accommodate me. He always called me when he said he would even if there was no news to give, which I found is very rare amongst recruiters.
 
My opinion of Jonas Consulting is high as a result of my experience even though on this occasion they were not successful in placing me and I would certainly recommend Jonas to anyone looking to fill a vacancy or for an opportunity.  Russell Towlson

"I initially posted my CV on the monster website and didn't really have much response.  Then I received a phone call from Jonas about a new job that was being created due to a factory being built in Somerset.  This sounded to be a great opportunity, but a great challenge at the same time.  It would require full relocation and taking my wife and family away from the area that they were from.  Also to add challenges, we were expecting our second child in 2 months time. 

It helped speaking to Jonas, on a very frequent basis not just about the job, but the personal side to this massive undertaking.  I always felt that the communication between myself on Jonas was very effective & efficient and there was always a great understanding of what my thought processes were.  The interview process was very efficient.  Times, location and information about the company were always e mailed to myself in appropriate time which enabled me to plan ahead.  I was very surprised in the length of this process, interview Friday and by Monday I'd been offered a job. 

Yes, there was some negotiating, but I do think the confidence not just I had in Jonas, but the company had in them helped towards an effective process.  I have now been in the job for 5 months and it is everything I expected and more, proving that dealing with Jonas was a massive benefit, and there were no stones unturned."   Warwick Laycock

"To summarise...The information given about the job spec was detailed & accurate.  The follow up service has been excellent.  You gave me detailed information about McDonalds as a company.  Gave me step by step do's & don't for interviews-this was a good check list for me.  Your service was friendly and efficient."  Sarah Fielder

"Jonas took the time to understand me and my goals.  I felt part of the
process, fully engaged and briefed throughout.  There are a number of
recruitment agencies serving the food industry, but if you're looking for
the right career move, you needn't look any further."  Imran Afzal

"I found the team at Jonas to be genuinely helpful, really felt that their first priority was with me, unlike some of the other, better known, agencies.  They were always efficient and understanding with arranging interviews, which was particularly importmant when I was looking to move to a competitor."  Rob Farr

"Jonas took the time to understand what I was looking for and not just reading my CV but the personal touch.  Meeting you was key for me, to find the right type of business, environment & role also your own background in having worked within the industry and connection with people helped too (I think!).  You always kept me in loop on progress and we explored more than one potential employer/opportunity."  Par Liddar

"What I thought was different about Jonas, as opposed to other recruitment consultancies, was the fact that I was able to suggest companies to them which they could approach on my behalf.  It also gave me peace of mind that Carolyn was very familiar with the industry, and had even worked for the company I am now employed by!  Carolyn kept me well informed and was very discreet at the same time.  Overall, very pleased that I made the leap onto the next step of my career path, and very appreciative of the service Jonas provided."  Claire Power

"Thank you for your assistance in helping me to find employment when I arrived here in the UK in August 2003. When I arrived here in England, your company was recommended to me by another South African, working here. After thorough research, my prior impression of Jonas Consulting's sophistication and high standards was confirmed. I was particularly impressed and happy to know that your staff always followed up to find out how things were going, even months after I was appointed in a position."  Dexter Brinkhuis
