I continue to be delighted by the services provided by Candidate Source. We filled 10 out of 11 head office vacancies in 2010 using Candidate Source in conjunction with our Applicant Tracking System, which delivered a cost saving in excess of 80% from traditional methods. I encourage all of our UK recruiters to advertise via Candidate Source as a matter of course because they not only enable G4S to fill critical roles, they drive considerable traffic volumes back to our corporate website and into our candidate talent pools to support our Direct Resourcing Strategy and help build a vibrant and engaged job seeker community.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Candidate Source internally and externally.

After supplying our job postings for a number of years, Michelle very kindly agreed to visit Cactus Search in May 2011 to train our consultants on optimising their advertisements for the major job boards. The training she delivered was truly excellent, delivering amazing industry insight with a really friendly approach. We would recommend her services to any recruitment companies looking to acquire some tailored, inside knowledge and a top quality job posting service!

Just wanted to let you know a little bit of good news that has come from the training course last week..... I re-did my customer service advert after Chelle's refresher training and have had some real quality response.  One of these candidates went on an interview on Tuesday and I have just been advised they have selected her for a particular role (not the one she was submitted for in the call centre) but for a Mortgage Porting role (which is a very complex role) with a salary of £17,000 which is the maximum they can offer for a new entry to the business! Great news - Thank you!

We have only been using Candidate Source for a short time however have found them to be extremely knowledgeable, supportive and friendly.  They go out of their way to help and have saved us a lot of money on job boards as well as reducing our administration burden.  I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending their services.

We are new to CSL and have been flabbergasted at the increased business we have achieved since utilising their contacts , we have placed 2 ad-hoc listings as a trial basis for roles we had been unable to fill from our job board contracts or database and have secured 4 interviews from applicants in the first day alone to roles we had all but given up with. I have been elated with the quick response to all questions and the fantastic work of Amy and her team and look forward to a long lasting and profitable relationship.

I’ve been a client of Candidate Source for a few years and can’t recommend them highly enough.  Customer service that is truly exceptional (nothing is too much trouble) on top of well negotiated discounted TEAM rates on ad postings helping us reach put to a wider range of candidates than ever before.  As they say ‘What’s not to like’? 

“I’ve dealt now with the team at Candidate Source for a number of years. During that time I have sought their assistance on many occasions to find candidates for a wide variety of vacancies that my clients have given me to work on. I’ve done the maths, and I can confirm that Michelle and her team help me to fill over 80% of the vacancies that I advertise through their system. Clearly this has helped me to drive my business forward on the basis that every time I make a placement, I also make money. All of this without any of the hassle or worry that a long term contract may bring. Thanks Candidate Source, I know our relationship will continue long into the future.”

We engaged the services of Michelle Davies – Managing Director of Candidate Source to refresh and train our Consultants on how to write effective online adverts.  As a Recruitment Agency used to placing many adverts we thought we knew all the tricks, but Michelle opened our eyes and taught us new and useful tips.  Her knowledge of her subject is exceptional and she is full of tips that the job boards don’t tell you!.  Her delivery and communication skills are excellent and coupled with a lively sense of humour  the workshop proved to be great fun as well as extremely informative.  I would recommend Michelle’s services to any organisation – whether you are a “newbie” to the world of online advertising or whether you just wish to brush up and learn the “tips of today” – you will certainly have your eyes opened, attain new skills and come away from the workshop with a clear action plan on how to write clear and effective adverts that will attract the right candidates for your organisation.

We have been dealing with Michelle and her team at Candidate Source since September and love how flexible our advertising can be with them.  Being a generalist recruitment consultancy often means we need to advertise over a diverse range of job boards.  Gone are the days of trawling through the stats to see who is best at what.  We just call Candidate Source ask for their recommendation and place the ads in the relevant places.  It not only ensures a more relevant response, it saves us money!

"As a relatively small recruiter our budgets are tight so when we were recommended Candidate Source Ltd we decided to run a trial for one specific role we were struggling to source good quality applicants for. We had a great response and subsequently filled the position. At last we can tap into a huge source of candidates without it costing an arm and a leg. The team are very supportive and quick to respond to our needs."

I appreciate you taking the time to explain the search criteria in detail. I have to say, I have been very impressed by your service and professionalism so far.

Candidate Source offers TEAM members excellent value for money with their Ad hoc Advertising and Online Media Buying Services.  The deals negotiated by Candidate Source on behalf of TEAM with the majority of leading job boards represent  huge savings coupled with monthly invoicing and specialist advice.  I would highly recommend these services to recruiters.
