I’ve had a really positive experience…

I’ve had a really positive experience with Jonathan Lee Recruitment, especially working with Julian Ball. He has been extremely helpful, friendly and professional throughout the whole process of securing my new job. He made sure everything was explained clearly, kept me updated and was always available to answer any questions. He made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. I really appreciate his support and would happily recommend him and the agency

The most Professional recruitment consultants I have ever worked with.

From the outset, the whole experience was overwhelmingly positive! From clicking the "Apply" button, myself and Matt were talking within 24 hours. The opportunity was a unique one which blended all of my skills and education which is a rarity in this profession. Matts enthusiasm was infectious and I went through the interview process seamlessly. Things moved VERY quickly and apart from a delay on the employers side, Matt was the consummate professional in keeping me informed throughout the whole process. My experience with Jonathan Lee Recruitment is the best I have ever had when it comes to recruitment consultants and would recommend them as a preferred option when dealing with Engineering professionals! Thanks for helping me secure this Matt, I feel that this is a unique opportunity that couldn't be missed. I wish Jonathan Lee Recruitment all the very best, and I hope you all have a prosperous and profitable future ahead!

New job and promotion.

I was contacted to see if I was interested in a new position.
Always polite and friendly, got back to me quickly as soon as there was anything to share regardless of what time it was.
Very professional and understanding. Very discreet when contacting me so as not to cause problems in my then current role.
Kept me up to date throughout the process of transition into my new role. Even kept updated by other members of the team when my primary contact was away.
Excellent team cannot fault anything they did.
I now have a new position with a substantial promotion compared to my last role.

Best recruiters I've ever had

A Recruitment agency that actually reads your CV and properly matches it to jobs. Most recruiters will send me jobs that don't even match my skill set or qualifications.

I got a cold call from Johnathon Lee for a role that was a perfect match. The back and forth between the agent and the company was excellent. I went in to the interviews feeling well prepared thanks to their work.
I got my dream job and its so close to home I could walk.
Very positive experience from start to finish.
